Boston Advertiser: 1t is painful to
find that the father of his country prac-
ticed deceit down in Jersey Elias Bou
dinot, whose papers are getting printed,
reveals this side of Washington's char
acter. He actually played trick on
Sir William Howe and made him believe
he had 12,000 men in his army about
Morristown, when he had but 1900.
1t seems that Howe had sent one OF
his innumerable spies, who were tories
in New York and patriots in Philadel-
phia, to see what was going on about
Morristown. The adjutant general
found out the rogue and ask ed General
Washington if he would not have him
arrested.
No, said the crafty rginian-and

Wood Hard as Stone.

The Consolidated California; K Virginia
most profitable one in the city
for the dump-pickers, writes Dan
De Quillo from Virginia City, New
There they not only collect much ore,
but also great quantities of wood. In
working over the old levels immense
amounts of old timbers are encountered
and cut through-old posts, caps, sills
and tagging. All this wood having
been under the pressure of superin-
cumbent mass of earth and rock from
1,400 to 900 feet in thickness, it is com
pressed until it is as solid as lockwood
and so heavy that thrown into water it
sinks like a stone.
a cord, the purchasers hauling it away.
1t is said that lump of this compressed
pine wood will burn longer in stove
than will a piece of coal of the same
size. Pieces OF this wood when polls he'd
are almost invariably mistaken for mar
BILE or for petrifed wood, so heavy are
they. This wonderful and almost unbe-
lievable change has been wrought by
heat and immense pressure. In it is a
hint for some of the industries of the
country. | think from what have seen
here that pine timber might be thus
prepared for the use OF the wood en-
graVer A few jewel caskets and trinket
boxes have been made of this wood, and
they were very beautiful when silver
bound and mounted. Turner's would be
delighted with this compressed wood as
it never splits and is absolutely un
changeabe.

their mail, says the Courant The train

the Office, but then there was long de-

one OF the girls came back TO Hartford
and then she wrote her friends postal,
saying at the end: ~ hope Miss ----

The friends were promptly at the post
Office and the mail came slowly, as usual
but when at last the postmistress laid

She first pulled a nickel out of her
pocketbook, but she put it back and
searched until she had gathered to-

Tribune. The conductor asked if she
couldn't give him something besides
pennies, and she was instantly insulted
He sighed, put the pennies in his
pocket and rang up a fare.
"She always gives me pennies" he
said when he was back on the platform
again.

to give her pennies in change, of course,

them"
''Of course. You want them and my
company wont take them from me, so
she unloads them upon me. Just like a

for street car fare, and then the conduc-

Denth of NJ. ID. Hardin.

Martin d. Hardin died at IL o'clock Satur-
day night at his residence at the corner Of
Fifth avenue anu Ninth street, aged sixty
five years. He had been i'll since last Mon
day with influenza, whi h had developed in
such a way as to tend to produce heart
failure, and Saturday evening his physician
stated that he was dying, and it was only a
question Of a few hours when he would drop
off.
The deceased was one of the best known
citizens of Council Bluffs. He was born in
Simpson county, Kentucky, August /, 1926.
He lived during the early part of his life on
the farm, and never received many educa-
tional advantages When he was eleven years
of age his father DAVIS Hardin, was app inted
farmer for the Pottawattamie Indians, and
moved at once TO Council Point, little vi
lage southwest of Council Bluffs He broke
the ground for the Indian farm, which has
for many Yeas been known as the Mart Har
din farm.
Martin became infatuated with the rowing
dispositions Of the Indians, and in his early
manhood he joined several hunting expe-
ditiOns, one OF which penetrated into the
Yellowstone region, going by the way of the
Missouri river He was for a number Of
years engaged III trading with the Sioux In
dians. After wandering for some time over
the Rocky mountains, all the way from the
British possessions to New Mexico, he set
tied down, in 1852, on his farm near
this city, which was then known
as Kanesville. In the same year
he married Miss Joiner. daughter of well
known early settler. Three sons and three
daughters were born to them, all OF whom
still survive. In 1866 he removed TO Council
Bluffs. The deceased was one of the trus-
tees of Kane township for five years, road
supervisor four years and for several years
past has occupied the position of overseer,
which place he was filling at the time OF his
death.
The funeral will take place this afternoon
