A Hermit Hunter Found

Last Saturday two hunters from Clear
field who were out in the wilds of the
Alleghanies found dead man in Andy
Reese's camp on Boon's mountain. The
dead mans name was John Gilland.
and for several years he had lived alone
there in the mountain Businesses with
no companion but his dog save when a
hunting party would locate at the camp
for short season. For months at a
time he never saw civilization, living
exclusively on the game and fish he
could shoot and catch.
For long time he lived in hut made
of bark, fashioned like an Indian tepee.
He wandered over the mountain with
dog and gun, and seemed to enjoy his
solitary existence. When found it was
evident that he had been dead several
days, perhaps weeks, and the gaunt and
emaciated form of his faithful dog was
by his side, almost dead from starvation.
And he would no doubt have remained
there and died by the side of his dead
master and never dreamed Of deserving
his post Dogs sometimes do things
that make us ashamed of our humanity.
The body was taken to Clearfield and
buried on Monday. it is presumed that
the man died of pneumonia or some kim
dred disease, as he had pulmonary
uble.-Punx sutawnev Spirit.

Mrs. Breckenridge, who has received such

She was widow of Rumsay Wing, minis

are cousins. The engagement, which dates
from last March, was kept secret, and the
marriage was surprise to many of their
friends. Mrs. Breckenridge is about SO

slender woman, with clear cut and very

A Yale student win a High stand.

1t was during q period when President
Porter was holding recitations in the Athen-
@um that the following story is told, the
substantial truth of which is vouched for
here: In one of the class divisions was a
young fellow active in athletics, who found
it difficult to blend proficiency in baseball
with the 40 pages of advance and review
which made up the normal days lesson in
DR.. Porter's bulky volume on THE Human
Intellect" Taking advantage of DIR. Por-
ter's easy going recitations, the young fell
low hit on the following device: He divid-
ed the 40 pages into eight sections of five
pages each, For each section he prepared
an answer, usually based on suggestive
line or two, sometimes evolved from inner
consciousness. At recitation ne simply
watched Dr. Porter turn the pages, basing
his answer absolutely ON the number of
pages turned. From pages to 10 meant
answer number two, from pages rs to 80
answer number 6, and SO on, not the slight
est attention otherwise being paid to the
question.
The young pioneer in psychology, who
ratified off the answer with all the fexibil-
ity of speech and earnestness he could COM
mand, always met a gracious smile from
DIR. Porter and found subsequently J, this
audacity he had secured stand in psychol-
ogy among the first half dozen in the class.
Years after he met DIR. Porter and explained
the trick and it's result. The president
turned the thing prettily. "Mr. Blank, !"
answered he, ''if you got eight ideas out of
each 40 pages of my Human Intellect you
got so many more than most of your class
that you deserved your stand. New Haven

A Mobile Mystery.

There dwelt in Mobile few years ago a
unique character who had q secret and
guarded it we'll. This man was one leg
ged, grizZled old fellow of an ancient mar
liner type, who might have been Lascar,
Portuguese or mulatto for all one could
tell. Every day for 30 years or more he
stumped down the street and seated him.

stranger who mistook him for a mendi.
can't, but smoked his pipe and drank rum
at intervals from a flask until shutdown,
and then he stumped off to his cabin on
the edge of a bayou, about two miles from
town.
The remarkable thing about the mysteri-
GUS old tar was that every Monday morn
ing he entered the bank, and producing a
single Spanish doubloon of the seventeenth
century received its bullion value in cur
rency for it. He never had more nor less
than the single doubloon., OF course every
body along the gulf of Mexico is a believer
in the existence of buried spoils of the buc-
cancers of the Spanish main and the later
day gulf pirates of Lafitte's day, which was
just after the war of 1912, and every man
and boy in Mobile was satisfied that the
old one legged tar was a survivor of the
band of Lafitte and that he had access to a
buried treasure. He was followed and
watched in vain. When at last he died,
there was only found on his person the
change from the last doubloon sold to the
bank, and although the cabin was torn
down and the soil for acres around over
turned to the depth of six feet no trace of
the hidden hoard of the old one legged
pirate was ever discovered.

AN AGILE HISTORIAN.
What Brother Bill Won In a Canadian Ri.
cycle Race.


The thick necked barber was telling about
road race in which his brother, who is
somewhat of a bicycler, had ridden.
why" he said, that race was just like
pie for Bill. He won that medal as easy as
IL he had found it."
"Where was it?" asked the man in the
chair.
"Over in Canada. You see, it was this
way: Bill hadn't been doin much trainin,
but l says to him that that race was pud-
din, an he went into it. He won in walk.
The prize was $3.50 bicycle"
Had an easy thing, did her" asked the
man in the chair
Easy amt no name for it. He got that
horse an buggy that was hung up for the
prize as slick as if some man had come
along an give tito him. 1t was cinch."
Were there any other good riders in the
racer? asked the man in the chair
"Oh, half dozen or so was scratch men,
like Bill; but, you see, Bill didn't mind no
little thing like that. He said to me before
he went over that he was out for that
grand piano that was put up for first an
he didn't take no chances. He just cut out
the runnin from the very start, an when he
got home he says to my sister, says he, Sis,
l won you grand piano over there of them
blamed Canucks an it will be over here in
day or two says he. An, say, that piano
is daisy an no mistake"
'Pretty valuable prize" ventured the
man in the chair.
"Oh, sort of Besides the piano, there
was $3.50 watch that was hung up too.
Bill he just naturally cabbaged the hull
outfit. Whenit comes to ridin bike, Bills
as good as they make em"
just then lantern jawed, stoop shout
dered youth strolled into the shop. "Hullo,
Billv' said the thick necked barber. II
was tellin this gentleman about the prize
you took over in Canada the other day."
YES" said the man in the chair, ''as
near as I can make out it was medal,
bicycle, a horse and buggy, grand piano
and $3.50 watch"
During the recital the lantern jaws of
the youth opened wide in astonishment
WAS that what he said?" he asked.
sAs near as l could make out" replied
the man in the chair.
"Well,n said the lantern jawed youth
slowly, that's pretty close for him. What
1 got was an oak rocking chair"
And the thick necked barber took an
inch of skin off the chin of the man in the
chair for revenge.-Buffalo Express.

Mr.. Breckenridge is celebrated as law
| yer and as an orator and moves in the most
select circles of Washington society. He
introduced Miss Pollard into this society,
and for years she was known as his espe-
ciai protege. He placed her on an intimate
footing with the members of his own fam
lily, and, it is alleged, introduced her to
Mrs Blackburn, wife of the ex-governor of
Kentucky, as the young lady whom he in
tended to marry.
By reason of his silver tongue and silver
hair Mr.. Breckenridge has long been a
spectacular figure in the house and has
been the hero of many dramatic scenes
similar to that described in the following
newspaper report of a speech delivered in
January, 1888:
But it was the last speaker, Mr.. Breckenridge
Of Kentucky, who carried off the honorsof the
day. He is ever the most striking figure on his
side of the house, his heavy mass of snow
white locks and full snowy beard standing in
perfect relief above the severe black of his
coat. He was dignifed, impassioned and elo-
Quent all at once. Twice he fairly swept the
house off its feet, and the auditory, both on the
floor and in the galleries, shouted and clapped
their hands at the close in storm of applause,
only to break out the second time moment
later.
Mr.. Breckenridge is short and rather
stout, with blue eyes, white hair and beard
and ruddy complexion. His manners are
cordial and courteous, and he retains per-
feet self command under the most trying
circumstances. The charm of his converse
ton is convincing and persuasive. His dis
course is brilliant and magnetic He is
probably the most finished speaker in the
house, and was selected as the orator for
the opening exercises of the Columbian ex
position. Owing to a disagreement with
the managers of the fair the engagement
was not fulfilled Colonel Breckenridge
was born in Philadelphia Aug. 2s 1887, and
has practiced law in Lexington, KY, for
many years. He is serving his fifth term
in congress. Mr. Breckenridge is an active
member of the Presbyterian church, and
was conspicuous at the general assembly in
Washington last May.
Miss Pollard is a native of Lexington,
KY, and is described as fascinating wom-
an and a bright conversationalist. While
not exactly beautiful she has expressive
eyes, and her features are illuminated by
intelligence and yivacity. She is well edu-
Gated and ambitious, and is struggling to
make name for herself in literature. In
this connection it is asserted that she has
performed some work decidedly more credl
table to her than the doggerel verses writ

Customers Too Particular.

Some years ago the proprietors Of q 80
called ulster house" in London placed
in their windows a placard setting forth
new rule of their establishment, name
ly, that no orders given by Americans
would be executed unless the orders
were paid for beforehand The proprie-
tor on being interviewed declared that
American ladies were much too hard to
please-infnitely more SO than English
ones. They insisted upon having their
things made to fit or they refused to take
them. 81 had an ulster sent back to me

The Stebbins family is fairly numer-

owners wear it ignorantly. More the
shame for them. 1t is by right classic
name, borne as it was by the first of
Christian martyrs St. Steven, some
times spelled Stephen. Steven is the
Dutch way Of spelling it. Spell it in
STANDARDIZATION. Drop the initial Sd
lent and then you have Steban. Among
the ignorant the step to Stebbins is very
short. And the honorable name Of St
Steven takes on degradation, even as the
fine old Norman-French name D'Au-
baine becomes the homely Dobbins--
