SPOILED THE EL0PEMENT
Country Postmaster Looking for His
Wife in Scranton.
HIRED MAN TOOK HER AWAY
Couple Drove Away from the Village Dur.
Ing Monday .Night-Dlscovercd by
Accident on an Erie and
Wyoming Valley Train.

Several detectives and nervous hus-
band were securing Scranton and Its
depots and public places during Tues
day and late that night in search of an
erring wife, a child and u bold. bad
hired man, who had eloped with her
from Blooming Grove, Pike county.
The husband had revolver in his
pocket and blood In his eye, but was
forced to leave the city yesterday
morning without finding the objects of
his search. by strange accident he
met the guilty couple on an Erie and
wyoming Valley train at Winners,
There was no bloodshed, but the hus-
band took charge of the woman and the
hired man continued the journey alone.
John Kleinhaus, the husband, IL the
postmaster at Blooming Grove, where
he has store, owns a farm and Is an
all-around solid citizen OF repute. The
hired man. Gilpin had been In the post
masters employ for nearly two years.
The gossips OF the little village con-
tended that Gilpln. who Is young and
good looking, was more openly atten-
tive to the wife than the rules OF strict
propriety usually allow. None of the
stories reached the postmasters ear.
nor were his suspicious aroused until
he awakened Monday morning minus a
wife, a baby boy and hired man Gil
pin.
Rode Away nt Night.
Inquiry revealed the fact that the
pair had driven twenty-six miles during
the night to Georgetown, on the Erie
and Wyoming Valley railroad. Where
they spent the interval between their
arrival in Georgetown and their dis
covery by Postmaster Kleinhaus on
the train does not appear. Anyhow,
the husband gave chase and Tuesday
morning secured Honesdale, where he
purchased the revolver. Finding no
trace of them he hurried to this city.
In Scranton Postmaster Kleinhaus
engaged detectives to assist him, but
their efforts were of no avail. Discour-
aged and downcast he boarded the 9.45
Erie and Wyoming Valley train with
the intention of returning home. At
Winners, near Maplewood. a train
bound for Scranton was met, and as
the train bearing the husband came to
a halt he perceived his wife and hired
man, Gilpin, seated in car on the ad-
joining track. He lost no time in con-
fronting the pair.
Gilpin uttered not a word but went
into another car. Mrs. Kleinhaus
made a commonplace remark while her
husband gathered up her bundles and
the child, and followed him to the other
train.
lie Tried to Get the Trunks.
Gilpin came on to Scranton and made
a weak attempt to secure his and his
fair companions trunks from the Erie
and Wyoming Valley baggage room.
He did not press the matter after being
shown telegram from Winners ex-
planning the facts in the case. He left
on an afternoon Lackawanna train for
Gouldsboro.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kleinhaus were welded
about three years ago. She is young

IhE WATERMELON NET.
A Convenient Continuance For Carrying
Home the Massive Fruit.

A Convenient Contrivance For Carrying
Home the Massive Fruit.
Tho invention " the watermelon net was
duo primarily to change In tho shape of
watermelons. Years ago the great major
ity of watermelons were much longer than
they were thick. Their when man car.
ried homo the watermelon which no had
bought the dealer took turn around one
end Of 1t with stout cord, carried the
cord along to tho other end and took an
other turn there, and tho connecting length
of cord between the loops served rs han.
die, while the shape Of the melon kept the
loops from slipping off. But with the
change OF the melon to the shorter, club.
bier shape now prevailing this plan was
no longer possible, and so tho net came In
six or eight years ago
The watermelon nets arc made Of n jute
Irvine called melon Irvine. They nre of one
size They are big enough for any melon,
and with small melon In u net II Is easy
to take up the slack They arc made alto
gether by hand, at odd times, by people
accustomed to net making. They arc sold
at wholesale at 81 "a hundred. The melon
dealer used to charge cents for net but
now most dealers give the nets away.
Notwithstanding their bulk many mel.
ons are carried homo by the purchaser.
The suburban resident may spot particu-
larly fine melon and take 1t right along
with him in net. A man living In the
city may do the same thing. Whatever the
circumstances under which man wants
to take melon with him tho net IN n
great convenience. IL beats carrying the
watermelon under tho arm out Of sight.
But while many melons are thus carried
in the course Of the season still the great
majority Of watermelons are sent home
just like other things and 40, after oil, the
sale Of watermelon nets amounts to only
n few thousands annually. New York

The Power of Words.

Words, for the most part, are mere
arbitrary combinations of characters,
to represent some thing or abstract
idea, and yet there are those which
by association have magic power
Shakespeare speaks of words to
conjure WITH" and in the dark ages
the astrologers and magicians had
their mystical words which were sup
posed to have supernatural powers,
even to the raising of the dead,
Nations have had their peculiar war.
cries, as the old English "for England
and st. George!"; the Mohammedan
/" Allah il Allah!"; and under the
influence of these words men have
gone cheerfully to their certain chance
of death. Other words bring up
crowds of tender memories, like
"home" and mother" A friend of
ours who was wounded at Chicka-
manga told us that when he was in
hospital, neighboring band one day
played Home, Sweet Home" and
he drew the blanket over his head and
cried like child. That is the in.
fuence of words. Names of places
often bring up delightful association
when we hear them. The words Bur
lington Route" recall to thousands
of people pleasant journeys, superb
accommodations, quick time, and
courteous attention. When about to
travel, ask your ticket agent to send
you to your destination by the Bur
lington Route, or write to W. J. G.
Kenyon, Gen. Pass. Agent, st. Paul,
