grower, who was kidnapped a few months
ago at San Francisco, and held for $50. 600
ransom. is expected here soon. to visit he
brother. George Campbell. They have not
met since they separated in Londonderry,
ireland, forty-seven years ago. Each was
lost TO the other. until they were recently
reunited by means OF the kidnapping story
telegraphed throughout the world from san
Francisco. George Campbell Is one of the
wealthiest stockmen in this country, and
lives on his big ranch, twenty-five miles
west of here a few days after the kid
nGping, the ranchman read the details of the
affair, and he wrote TO the Sandwich island
man. Three months passed and no answer
came, and the ranchman had about decided
to abandon the idea Of his relationship to
the millionaire. when one day a roughly
dressed stranger, who professed to be
traversing the continent on foot, stopped at
his house Campbell afterward recalled
that the man wore laundered cuffs, ana
silk hose under his apparently travel-stainei
clothes. Later It was developed that the
visitor was a detective from san Francisco.
Two weeks later Campbell received a letter
from the sugar millionaire, and further cor
respondencc has resulted in arrangements
for the two brothers to meet at the ranch
mans home here soon.

Above One oG the River Piers.
Poor people Of the East Side will soon
have roof garden OF their own. says the
New York Telegram. II will not be the sort
OF garden that grows on tops of theatcrs,
with fragrant trees in green tubs. but a
genuine place II recreation for those who
cant very well afford to pay for outdoor
amusement.
This East Side roof garden will be con-
structed above the long pier at the foo. OF
East Third street. Commissioner Monks
submitted the plans at a special meeting Of
the Dock Board yesterday, and they wcro
approved Work on the recreation pier will
begin soon.
The placing OF the roof garden over enc
Of the city piers on the river front Is an in
rovatlon that is likely to lead to the ercc-
tion of other such places of recreation on
each side u the town. They will have an
advantage over the public parks in that
there will be more air to relieve the suffer
ings of the poor ones during the heated
periods.
The garden, when erected, will in no way
interfere with the business of the pier For
thirty-three feet outside the bulkhcad line
and at the shore end there will be no cover
ing, so that traffic may be carried on with
out interruption.
This new recreation pier will be 300 feet
lCng by fifty feet wide. From the floor to
the cornice the height will be eleven feet.
The floor of the roof will be fourteen feet
arched. The sides will be open, allowing
all the benefit Of the river breeze.
On each side there will be covered We
randa provided with chairs and benches In
the center of the garden there will be a
band stand. Wire fencing around the bOr-
dcrs will protect children from falling over
board. The main structure will be of steel
and the roof of corrugated iron.

Here is story related by tho Chicago
Record. showing how to account for bad
luck:
A man was shaking dice in store. lie

wearing an opal You never will have luck"
This set the man TO thinking. -Four days
later he slipped In getting of a street car
and spraincd his ankle.
This decided him, He gave the pin to
friend who was on the BOARD Of Trade, and
who was too hard-hCadcd TO entertain any
fool notions about the number 49, or black
cats. or cross-eyed girls with red hair
Nevertheless. when this Board Of Trade
man lost over $4,000 on wheat he began
to worry. He didn't care much for the pin
anyway. and so one day when a young man
in his office admired the FIRE" in the stone
he said: Take it along II you like It."
Tho young man overwhelmed him with
thanks. Then he waited, with guilty knowl-
edge to see what woulu happen to tho
young man. He did not have to wait long.
Tho very next week the employe was taken
III and he missed four days at the office.
The Board of Trade man was troubled in
conscience, so he told his young friend
about the opal pin and the superstition at
taChing to 1t, and the cmploye, after de-
liberation. decided that he would give the
pin to his girl.
The opal did very rapid and effective
work after 1t became the property OF the
young woman. ON the second day after
she began to wear 1t she ignited a curtain
in attempting to light the gas. The cur
tain was destroyed and the young woman
burned both of her hands in attempting to
eNtinguish the blaze.
The young man who had given the stone
to her felt called upon to apologize

to carry bad luck with II. | didn't tell
