ABSOLUTELY PURE
EDISON'S FIRST BIG CHECK.

when | came to New York to sell
my first invention" Mr.. Edison said.
1 was largely in doubt as to its value.
| knew it was a useful continuance, but
ii was with some %diffidence that ! en-
tered the presence of the manufacturer
with whom ! opened negotiations for
its disposal. As Il boy | had often
longed to possess 5000, and [ had a
good mind to hold out for that much
money, though | felt secretly that I
would be doing well to get 5 1000. So
when the manufacturer asked mo how
much | wanted for the patent rights I
stammered and asked how much he
was willing to pay.
Come around in the morning. he
said, and | went home . dream about
that s., 000-fOrtune | was going to get
perhaps. When | saw him in the
morning he said with a t~ake-that-or-
take-nothing air of determination:
I'VE have decided to pay you $40
.O0O-not "A IN lore
Il almost tainted: but in less than
five minutes | had stuck my name to a
contract and was II in the street look
ing in a h%alf-dazed way at a check in
my hand. Payable to he order of
Thomas \. Edison. forty thousand dol
lars '~siO,000).' Then | began to think,
n the forty thousand seemed like
forty millions, and | said to myself.
Tom, you've been %swindled. The
check is not good And when I went
to the bank had never been inside
of n to do any business-and pre-
scented the check, | was not surprised
when the teller s"rutinized it, glanced
at me and pushed it back with a shake
OF the head and a remark that | was
too excited to understand, but conclud-
ed that my fears were confirmed. So I
stuffed it in my pocket and went to
see a friend, to whom | related my ex,
pericnce.
Let me see the check he said.
Why. that's all right. You must be
Identified And we went back to the
bank. The cashier knew my friend,
and the money was soon counted out.
Still | wasn't sure | was awake until I
began to feel and hear the Sam of the
new bank-notes. 1t was a big bundle
of money, and | stuck some of it in
every pocket, SO that almost anywhere
! put my hand ! could feel it bullying
out.
When | went to the hotel that night
do you think | took my clothes off?
Not much. | slept in them, so |
wouldn't wake up and find it was a
cruel dream"

A jocose professor in one of the
higher public schools of Philadelphia,
during his lectures on chemistry, had
occasion to speak of phosphorescence
and incidentally of phosphorescent
paint, humorously remarked that it
would be a first-class thing with which
to ornament the keynote. so that the
Incorporate would have no difficulty in
using a latch-key at night. At il recent
examination the unwary professor
asked the class to explain the nature
of phosphorescence." Few of the girls
remembered anything of it., except
their instructors suggestion about the
painting of keyhOles, and each girl
wrote that out in full upon her examin-
alton paper. The examining commit
tee were Mortified when they perused
the answer to this question, but the
girls were held bIameless, and all the
fault was cast upon their funny
teacher.

LANGDON''S RECORD
Kept a Diary Which Contains
a Bad Record.
ROBBED BY HIS WIFE.
slack" smiths Bridal Tour Relieved
of Its MOnOtOny by His Bride
Stealing His Money
and Bicycle.

Philadelphia, March 2G.-Another
theory has arisen in regard to Annie
McGrath's death. This is To the effect
that the girl, being engaged to be a
ried to a young man whose real name
has not yet appeared. attempted to
Langdon; that the latter threatened to
reveal their intimacy if she did so, and
that she, fearing such a Disclosure, at
tempted to kill him, and then commit
ted suicide. This s%upposition is borne
out by statements made by Miss Addie
Griffiths, a friend of Annie, who was
with her the day before her death. She
then old Miss Griffith that Langdon
was to meet her that night Saturday..
adding: Il am not going to lave any
thing more to do with him. I'll tell
him when | see him that I won't keep
his company any more"
On the same occasion Annie COM
planned of a toothache and Miss Griff-
iths went with her to a Chestnut street
drug store and asked for some chloro-
form. 1t was not sold to her, and she
said she could get it from a dental stu.
dent whom she knew.
The statement of Bertha Stewart.
the servant employed in the Girard
avenue house, confirms the story that a
quarrel occurred between the couple on
| tho day tho GIRL Jio5
A number of letters were taken by
the detectives from Langion's post
Office box, and several of them were
from a girl employed as a typewriter
in Raleigh, N. C. They were written
in the most loving language.
A dispatch from Altoona, Pa, says:
Samuel p. Langdon. under arrest in
Philadelphia in connection with the
death of Annie McGrath, organized
and built the Altoona and Philadel-
phia railroad. leading from the Beach
Creek railroad to the mines of the I'm
tied Colliery company. and intending
to connect with the Altoona and Wop-
! sonnock road. which he also built. but
which has passed out of his control.
Although enjoying the reputation Of
being a millionaire, the truth is that
Langdon is not wealthy. The United
Colliery company, of which he is presi-
dent, operates in the Clearfeld region
on a small scale.
A diary has been found in LangdOn's
possession, which is said to contain,
under date of Monday last, the entry:
Annie died at 1915"
Detective Geyer has left the city and
it is understood chat he has gone to
Springdale, Pa, for the purpose of
bringing Mrs. Langdon here.

State Superintendent.
1t will be noted hat Uinta leads by a
large majority: almost two to one
when population is considered. This
can be accounted for by reason of the
fact that Uinta borders on Utah.
The question is, what are we going to
do about'it? Are we to sit idly by and
permit Uinta to Outstrip us in this
manner? For Albany and Laramie
counties there is some excuse. A bad
by the state superintendent and the
chief justice. But what have the other

\NIith a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before propcrcf-
forts-gentle efforts-plcasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge. that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupo of Figs. prompt
ly nov That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organ on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cnli-
fornia Fig Syrup o. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but if in need of n laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

JACK" SMITHS HONEYMOON.
Chicago. March 26.-Engineer Jack"
Smith, who is known to thousands of
persons who have Travelled to
Hot Springs, Ark, was robbed of
$500 in Chicago last night, and he
charges his wife with the theft. He
was asleep in a State street hotel, when
his wife, it Is alleged, stole the wallet
from under his pillow. As soon as he
discovered the loss he hurried to the
Harrison street police station and re-
ported the matter.
Besides the $500 in cash, the checks
for two OF Smiths trunks were miss
ing; likewise a check for his bicycle.
He and the officials went to Polk street
depot. where he had left the trunks,
and was there informed that a woman
had taken them and had them sent to
the Illinois Central depot. Then he
went to the depot on Park Row. There
he found his wife and had her arrested.
She was on a train bound for Red City,
Mich, where her parents live. She had
the trunks and bicycle in the baggage
a and they were also taken by the
officer. She is in the Harrison street
station.
Its pretty tough to be robbed by
your W wife on your wedding tour"
said Smith, but that's just what hap
pened to me. We were married several
weeks ago, but the wedding trip was
postponed until l got a 3O-day lay-off.
That's the end Of my honeymoon"
Jacks" was what might be termed
a bicycle marriage. He was a devotee
of the wheel and while gliding over the
mountains and through the valleys
adjacent to the Arkansas resort he met
Dora Lewis, who was also an ardent
admirer OF the wheel. She claimed to
be the daughter of a Grand Rapids
merchant and had come to Hot Springs
for her health.
Jack" and Dora used to take cross.
country spins On their wheels, and 1t
was not long before they were engaged.
They were married a few weeks ago.
The Chicago police say Dora is we'll
known to them.
