He Isn't Seven Years old Yet. Hut Is Grow.
 Ing Fast.
 Lemont NJ. Leavitt was born in June, 1ss0, in the old town of Turner, Me. About the first thing Lemont began to do after he opened his eyes and uttered his first cry was to grow. His strength increased daily, and when five years old his skill with the ax attracted much attention. He would chop more wood then than half the hired men could, and his services were much sought by young men in the neighborhood, who were too lazy to do their own chores on the farm.
 Last summer the youthful giant ten dered a genuine surprise to his parents and neighbors. A party of men were building a wire fence near by. A pole was run through the center of a very large coil of wire and everything was in readiness to unwind it when it was found that a man expected to assist could not get there. Master Leavitt happened along, and taking in the sit uation picked up one end of the pole on his shoulder and marched of, keeping stepwith the man who held the other end in his arms only by the greatest exer- ton, while the man behind hung on to the wire while i. was being uncoiied. Thus for nearly half a mile did this six year-old Samson bear the burden th..4 would have made many full-developed man shrink.
 Just think of it. Not seven years old. yet Master Leavitt tips the scales at l0sjl pounds in light suit. He is act i've, both physically and mentally, and the Auburn Gazette is willing to back him as being the handsomest and strong est boy of his age in Christendom.

\ New Railroad in siam,

The king of Siam recently cut the first turf for the new railroad at Bangkok. The minister of public works read a short address. to which the king re- piled. and then the king, taking an ivory-handled spade, thrust the silver blade into the turf, which he transferred to an ebony wheclbarrow. The crown prince trundlcd the wheelbarrow along a carpeted track about thirty yards in length. followed by the king, the royal family and the assembled guests. The turf, when removed from the ebony wheelbarrow, was sprinklcd with con- secrated water from a golden ewer by four priests. The national anthem was played. and that ended the ceremony.

Edward .J. Broad.

Mir. and Mrs. Frank Broad have the sympathy of the public in the loss of their son, Edward l., aged about five years, who died last night at 7o'clock from croup. He had been ill about q week, but a serious termination had not been apTrehended.
 The funeral took place this after noon at 3 o'clock from the residence on Fremont between 7th and Sth streets, and was largely attended by many fr.ends of the grief stricken parents. May time. the great healer, restore peace to their aching hearts.

He Wanted a Sudden Death.

At brilliant dinner party at the
house of the secretary of state in 1876.
the talk turned upon the sensation OF
death. Il do not know" said Mr.. Fish.
in the hush that involuntarily followed
the introduction of such Il serious sub
ject, ..why we should pray against sud
den death: it seems to me very dcsir-
able way of stuffiing off this mortal coil.
I think the compilers Of our book Of
Common Prayer must have intended vio-
lent death in their petition--at least that
is the way read it-and every Sunday
at church, when that part of the litans
is read, | make that distinction i'll my
mind.
ut seems to me-" he continued. look
ing abstractedly before him, with his
thoughts evidently far away from the
gay scene by which he was surrounded.
Ito die suddenly. without the painful
struggles of disease, is what | would
rather pray for" When one day one of
the guests of that occasion picked up "A
morning paper and read i'll large type.
Suddenly. at his home at Garrisons-on-
he-Hudson. Hamilton Fish," the long
forgotten conversation came vividly to
mind.-New York Tribune.

Some Ancient Locks.

In discoursing of locks and safes be-
fore the students of Nottingham Univer
sity college Mr. G. H. Chubb had much
to say upon an interesting subject. 1t is
curious that in the wooden Egyptian
locks Of remote antiquity many germs
are found of the essential features of
good modern locks. In China. where few
things change, q we'll defined Roman
style of paddock is to this day in almost
universal use. but whether the Chinese
copied the Romans, or the notion by
some means found its way from China to
Rome, is a question it would puzzle
Beckmann to determine. The simple de-
vice of having the hollow stem or pipe OF
key open at each end, SO that dirt or
other distractions could be pushed
through, is as old as the Roman empire.
Nevertheless hardly year passes with
out some enthusiastic inventor rediscov-
ering it and offering to part with his idea
for a large money consideration.
Generally speaking, it is at the COM
mencement of the meliaval period that
we begin to find keys like our own. The
old puzzle paddock in its improved form
was, it appears, the work of French
man named Regnier at the end Of the
last century. The famous Chubb lock.
invented and patented in 1918 by the
lecturers grandfather and great-uncle.
owed it's noteriety chiefy'to its contain

means of which the owner could tell if
any one had attempted to open it with a
false key. rs details are SO numerous
and varied that it is said toIoe easier and
cheaper to make two of them to differ
than to make two alike.-London News.
