EARLY LIFE OF PAUL JONES'
BE Came to America to Inberit an Estat.
In Virginia.

He Came to America to Inherit an Estate
In yirgiEia.
There is no record of his having at
tended any school except that of the
parish of Kirkbean, but he developed a
truly Scotch passion for reading and
writing He went to sea when 10 years
old and made two voyages during his
minority in a SLAYER, but hating the
traffic hesleft it and the ship too. At 90
he was in command Of a fine brigantine.
About this time occurred what he calls,
in letter to Robert Morris, "a great
misfortune, adding, I am under no
concern whatever that this or any other
circumstance of my past life will sink
me in your opinion. " The trouble was
a threatened criminal prosecution for
having had a carpenter logged which
was the usual mode of punishment in
those days, The matter was Investigate
ed, and Paul Jones was fully acquitted.
1t is worthy of remark that the mag
istrate who inquired into that matter
notes that Paul Jones expressed great
sorrow for having had the man fogged,
although the charge of cruelty was fully
disproved. He returned to Scotland once
after this, and although affeotionately
received by his own family his friends
and neighbors seem to have treated him
ooldly. The smart from this injustice
turned the Indifference he felt for his
native land into hatred, and ever after
he considered himself quite free from
any responsibility for having been born
and having spent the first IL years OF
his life in so inhospitable country.
In his twenty seventh year a great
and fortunate. change occurred to him.
His brother William, who had emigrat
ed to Virginia and died there, left him
an estate There is no doubt that Paul
Jones was often afterward in want of
ready money, but it must be remem-
bered that everybody was in want OF
ready money in the eighteenth century.
Certain it is, from his papers preserved
at Washington, that he might be consid'
cred at the beginning of the war man
of independent fortune.
The two years of his life in Virginia
are obscure, as might be expected from
a man living the life of a provincial
country gentleman, which the records
concerning him prove. At the outbreak
Of war with the mother country Paul
Jones fastened to Philadelphia, ana
through Mr.. Joseph Hewes, member
of congress from North Carolina, got
his commission as senior first lieutenant
In the infant navy Of the colonies. Il
was then he made the acquaintance OF
Robert Morris, to whom he felt pas
sionate gratitude and affection, and
whom he named as sole executor in his
will, Mr.. Hewes being then dead

''This won't do" said the general
passenger agent in annoyed tones to the
map maker. II want Chicago moved
down here half an inch, so as to CONS
on our direct route to New York. Then
take Buffalo and put it little farther
from the lake.

road.
'And, man, take those two lines that
compete with us and make 'em twice az

Of 'em almost straight.
"Yank Boston over a little to the
west and put New York little to the

I've said, you may print 10, 600 copies

Has TWO hearts.
A Physic!an's Report or the Most Remark.
able Case of William King.

William King, the negro who has
two hearts and is able to control the
pulsations of either at will, and who
occasionally excites the medical associa.
tions of the Atlantic coast by making
an exhibition of himself, has been ex.
amined by Dr.. G. a. jackson of Pitts.
burg, who reports as follows:
''The man has two distinct hearts
connected only by the larger blood ves-
sells and very elastic pericardium. he
has the peculiar power Of moving either
of these two hearts independently and
can hold one up under the ribs while
the other is let down into the groin,
where it can be felt puisating even more
plainly than when in its natural posi-
ton. He can stop one or both from beat
ing for period of one minute and
probably longer. but he has been told
that to extend the time beyond that
limit would probably endanger his life.
The stoppage of either heart siIences
the pulse beats on the corresponding
side, but does not affect the other. If
OCNi et1O oOOppOu ~ CiNOs III pu1SO OOdt
can lie detected in any part of the body
''The left heart is the larger of the
two, being about the size of ooooanut
which is very large for man of Kings
size. The right one is no larger than
a good sized goose egg.
"When one heart is down in the
flank and the other in normal position,
they are separated by distance of about
ii inches. As they lie ordinarily in the
chest they are only about two or three
inches apart.
1.-THE most remarkable thing about
Kings case is the fact that each heart
appears to be complete in all its details
and furnished with sufficient blood for
use on its own side of the body.
''In some species of lower animals
there are two distinct hearts, but in
them the right side sends blood to the
lungs, while the left does the work for
the general circulation of tho whole

triyance which enables fly to walk up

each pad is bag filed with sticky

sAYReyI.Le,s AMAZING nuEs.
Jersey Blasphemy In Yellow Set In q
Symphony of Blue.


Probably the most remarkable bit OF
color to be found within radius Of 100
miles from this city is the little hamlet
of Sayreville, n J. From an artists
point of view Sayreville is impression.
lstio in the nightmare sense of the word.
Els surroundings are beautiful, for 10
sIands on little bluff overlooking q
spreading marsh, through the center Of
which sparkling river runs to lose
Itself in rift of the faraway hills. The
marsh is dull, grayish blue, the river
gives steel blue effect, and far away
the distance of the hills blends in sof.
gradations into the hue of the sky. In
she midst of this gem Of landscape
stands Sayreville, yellow in every sense
Of the word 1t is a blasphemy in yeL
low set in a symphony in blue.
In the neighboring villages there is
legend as to how Sayreville became yell
low. They say that when the town was
6rst built there wasn't painted house
Ia 1t, and that one day an enterprising
peddier on his notion selling rounds
saw in this an opportunity For money
making. He procured large quantity
Of damaged paint at nearby city, ali
Of the paint being in various hues Of
yellow, from bright orange down to the
dullest buff. This paint he carted to
Sayreville and sold at low prices, and
still with large profit to himself. Then
the town set about painting itself vel.
low. Some of the people pooled their
interests and their paints and ornaments
ed theil houses with the combination
Others ran to stripes, and having used
up one tint filled in with the rest. One
man tried polka dots in chrome on
background of greenish buff, with brill
liant effect When the work was dona
the peddler came back with big con
signment of staring green, which the
townspeoplN bought and with which
they painted their blinds. The result
was pleasing to the Sayrevillers but
startling to such few outsiders az

In the course of time two household.

hoHENLoHE's IRREGULARITIES.
Shs New German Chancellor Always CoaEs
His Own Coffee.

HIS OVID CO1ee.
Prince Hohenlohe, the new chanceI
sor Of the German empire, is cast in a
different physical mold from his two
stalwart predecessors. He is far from
being so impressive in appearance az
Bismarck or Caprivi. He looks more like
Che headmaster of school in a middle
sized town than like statesman. Al.
though Of more noble lineage thar
either of the ex-chancellors, he looks
much less like the traditional aristocrat.
His early life was, however, passed
amid comparatively humble surround
lngs, and his birth helped him little
He practiced law until 1916, and, pitted
against young men of the middle classes,
never distinguished himself. In the
year mentioned he succeeded to the dig
pity of sGhillingsfurst and took his place
rs a hereditary legislator in the Bavars
an reichsrath.
The prince is remarkably active for &
man OF his age. His excellent health b.
attributes to the facts that he spends az
much time as possible in the open air.
especially in the hunting feld-auS
cooks his own coffee Coffee he consid
trs the principal course of meal, al
though he likes good things to eat and
employs one of the best cooks in Ger
many. When in his palace at Strasburg
he always prepared his own coffee
Even when he travels he cayries the COT,
feA machine with him and uses it te
make his favorite beverage at least thres
times day.
In the course Of gears he has become
ID expert, and few cooks can equal his
brew. His guests fatter him on his art,
as matter of course, and there is no
better way to reach his heart than by
eulogy of his coffee.
Like many other men who have aG
complished considerable in this life and
love praise and their hobbies, he would
rather hear praise for his drink which
comforteth the brain and heart TO use
the language of Bacon--than for hia
political wisdom. -Cincinnati Comuase
