THE "coINcIDENT FRANKlINs."

A Virginia Family and It's Fateful Four
teenth of October.
On Glade Mountain. West Virginia,
resides the ''coincident Franklins,"
says an exchange, family which is, in
one respect at least. without a parallel
in the whole country. In short, the
Franklins are a family in which coin
cidence rules. The father and mother
were married on the 18th day of Oc-
tober. They have had nine children,
all of whom were born on the 14th day
of October. Five of the nine are dead
and, strange to say, every one breathed
his or her last breath on the 14th day of
October. The name Of the head of this
remarkable family is Joshua Franklin.
He was q rebel soldier and was captured
twice and had two brothers killed in
the war between the states" all four
of these mishaps and misfortunes of
war having occurred on that ever mem
orable day--the 14th Of October. In
the neighL.-hood where the Franklin
family live. and. in fact, for miles out
side of their immediate latitude, they
are looked upon by the natives with
superstitious ave- It is even said
that not single human being who
knows of the coincident mystery sur
rounding the family can be prevailed
upon to stay in the house or around the
premises on either the day or the night

A SORRY PREDiCAMENT.
The Great Naturalist and His Box Of
Egyptian Fieas.

The Great Naturalist and His Box OF
Egyptian Fieas.
A naturalist who Is both ardent and
student in his branch of science and alb
sent-minded to degree which keeps his
family on the alert, recently celebrated
his silver wedding. Many guests were
invited for the occasion and the house
was made ready for the reception of the
company. Just as the first guest ar
rived, says the Detroit Free Press, one
Of the daughters was sent to summon
the father who had not come from his
study. Care had to be taken that he
should be reminded to dress in time. SO
he was all ready and at the summons of
the daughter he came to the parlor.
When they reached the room the
daughter noticed that her father car
ried in his hand a small wooden box.
and as he shook hands with the nearest
guest she saw him drop it. The cover
rolled off, but she gave sigh of relief
when she saw that the box was appar-
emily empty.
The naturalist. however. uttered
cry of dismay, and instantly went down
on his hands and knees in an attempt to
gather up something.
Have you spilled anything. father"
she asked.
Spilled anything" he echoed. in evil
dent indignation at her calm tone. Il
have lost fifty feas that / have just re-
ceived from Egyptr'
The effect of this intelligence on the
family was nothing in comparison to
the effect the catastrophe had upon
the company before the evening was
over, and the only thing that the
naturalist said to his friends in answer
to congratulations upon his happy
married life, so his daughters declared
after all was over. was to ask that If
they carried away any of his Egyptian
fieas they would return the insects to
