HAD HARD LUCK.
suffered Two Robberies and Got Into the
Paper.

Yesterday farmer from Freeport
walked into the police station and told
Deputy Hartnett that he had travelled all
over the country and visited many cities,
but it was reserved for him to visit Por t.
land to be robbed.
His story was that he got onto horse
car and leaned forward to get some mon
ey from his pocket to pay his fare. Some
crook spied the long red wallet he carried
in his inside pocket and made love to it.
It contained some $3.50, in bills against
parties, the items in which he has no
memorandum of, 800 Confederate bill,
and S. treasury note. He was awfully
anxious to get the bills back and equally
anxious that his misfortune shouldn't
get into the papers. A reporter, VIII
stood near, would have liked to accom-
MEDIATE him, but that was impossible.
After the man left the station he dis
covered that his gray horse and wagon
had been taken by some one. This capped
the climax of his misery. When told to
go to the police station and announce his
loss he cried out, GIVE just been there to
tell themtthat my pocket book has been
stolen.

THE MISSING MRS. GARDNER.

Her Insanity and Her Prospect OF ne


Her Insanity and Her Prospect of Re
coyery,
Portland people will remember MIS-.
E. T. Gardner of Arcadia, Nebraska
whose disappearance in Boston, safter
coming as a delegate to the Christian
Endeavor convention, created SO much
excitement.
A Portland citizen formerly lived IN
Arcadia, and is friend of the Gardeners
During the time Of her disappearance the
detective in search of her, and also Dos
ton Globe represen tative, called upon
this man in Portland, but he had no IN
formation to give them. He recently re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. Gardner stating
that his wife was quite violently insane
after they brought her home from Bos-
ton, that an operation had been per-
formed upon her, that her mind is now
clear and that she is slowly recovering
her health, though it is feared thai an
other operation will be necessary.
Mr.. Gardiner also sent his friend IN
Portland copy of the Arcadia Champion
for August 23d, containing a statement
from Lincoln, Nebraska. physician,
one DR.. Paine, who attended Mrs. Gard
ner on her return He performed an ope-
ration and discovered, as he supposed,
that her insanity was due to a physical
disorder. He says that no one can tell
whether she will recover her mind, as
yet. He expects that another operation
will be necessary, and adds that her
case is one calling for sympathy instead
of censure.

Kirke, though not new play, is such a
beautiful drama and so we'll presented
by Mr.. McCallum and his clever company
that it has proved one of the best plays Of
the season. The crowds have been
large all the week and the play greatly
enjoyed. There will doubtless be rush

The Reading of Janvier's Poem.

An incident related by the late actor
Murdoch is very characteristic of Abraham
Lincoln. Few who lived through the war
have yet forgotten the poem of the 'Sleep-
ing Sentinel" which was written by Jan
vier in cOmmemoratiOn of an act of elem
ency by Lincoln in pardoning young Yer
mont volunteer at the very moment when
he had been led out to be shot for sleeping
at his post. The first public reading of this
poem by Mr.. Murdoch took place at the
White House, the president, the poet and
large assembly being present. Before
reading the verses aloud Mr.. Murdoch pri-
vately pointed out to Mr.. Janvier a slight
poetic license, where he had described the
arrival of the president with the pardon as
being accompanied by the sounds of rolling
wheels, whereas Lincoln had ridden on
horseback to the place of execution.
Janvier thought it a matter of very
trifing consequence, and the reading pro-
ceeded. At its close the president and
many of the party were in tears. Lincoln,
wiping the telltale drops from his cheeks,
said hastily in a smothered voice, Very
touching, Mr.. Janvier, but l did not go in
a COACH" ooh, well, Mr.. Lincoln" said
Senator Foote of Vermont, I'VE all know
you would have gone on foot if it had been
necessary" YES, but the fact is | went
on horseback" insisted Mr.. Lincoln.-Bos

Toad SupprStitiOnS.

Superstitions as to toads having been
early inculcated, it has been exceeding
ly difficult to get rid Of them One rem
nant of this ancient credulity still ex-
lists. 1t is in regard to the absolute i'm
perishable character of the toad. There
are well educated Americans who be-
heve that toad hops out alive from a
slab OF stone, though he has been i'm
prlsoned there for several millions of
years. We give in brief DR.. Buckland's
experiments with toads in 1926. He
took IL toads and had the toads put in
IL cells cut III sandstone, and over these
he put plates of glass. They were bur-
led III garden for over year. When
exhumed, they We're all dead Then
some were put in porous sandstone, and
at the end of year a few were found
greatly emaciated. When buried for
another year, they all died. Toads were
Enclosed in wood, and they all died.
The conclusion is that, deprived of at.
mosphere or without food, toads must
die. If a toad as tadpole could have
entered crevice in rock, it might
have grown, but would have died in
time for want of air and food. This
toad nonsense is SO irradicable that it is
snpposable It never can be dissipated..
