LOVERS CURIOUS OATHs.
Taking Revenge For Their DIsaD-
pOintment In Novel Ways.

From Golfers Weekly.
Apart altogether from the breach Of
promise question, there is always an e.e-
ment Of danger in putting proposal of
marriage on paper, as a young mechanic
who was enamored by a pretty maiden
discovered some time ago. He wrote a let
ter expressive OF his undying love for The
girl Of his choice and asking her IN hon
eyed terms to become his wife. but. unfor-
turately, he neglected TO fasten & secure
ly,and the envelop opened out In tha post.
When the maiden got the let
ter II was marked. Found
open and officially sealed" ana
she was so convinced that the postoffice
clerks had been reading the proposal that
she cried for very shame. aud at once
wrote an indignant reply, saying that she
could not marry man who was careless

Ing gaze Of government officials.
This severe rcbun cut OF the mechanic 10
the heart, and Fastening 60 the residence
OF the fair one he eloquontly pleaded for
forgiveness. But the maiden wouldn't
listen. and forbade him TO come near her
or TO speak TO her again. Whereupon the
poor mechanic. almost beside himself with
rage and disappointment. swore that he
would never again make use OF the post-
Office. either directly or indirectly. This
vow he has stuhboruly kept ana FOR the
past four years he has never bought a

named in early Bible history, though sons
claim that melons were really meant.
Both the cucumber and the melon are
named, not only in different places bue
the Israelites complained of the lack OF
the cucumbers and the melons" when
they were with Nose sin the wilderness.
As to the melon, the date of its first cul-
tivation is lost in antiquity, but Pliny res
cords its use. and as he died in A. d.
19, it probably is as old as the cucumber.
Beets are on record as a highly priced
vegetables over 1000 years ago, and re-
ceived much notice from early writers on
such subjects.
Carrots seem to have come to us from a
time that is immemorial, while history
proves that turnips were in use as a gars
den vegetable before the Christian era.
No one seems to have been able to trace
the origin of either the pumpkin or the
squash but We read that pumpkin pies
were made over 800 years ago. after this
recipe: Cut a hole in the side. take Ous
the seeds and flaments, stuff with a mix
ture of apples and spices, and then bake
till done.
y book was written on "The Radish" be-
fore the Christian era. The ancient Greeks
used to offer turnips, beets and radishes
IN their obligations to Apollo. The first
they offered in dishes of lead, the seoond
in silver but the third was offered in 'vess
sells of beaten gold"
Parsnips we find mentioned by Pliny as
being brought to Rome from the banks oE
the Rhine. at the command of the En-
peror Tiberus, for use on his table.
Beans have a history, both long and cu@
rious. Pliny says of them: THE pod IS
to be eaten with the seed" evidently
speaking of what We know as String
beans"
The Egyptians used the bean as a com~
mon article Of food till their religious IDEAS
concerning it caused them to desist. They
believe the bean to be created Of the same
elemnts as man, and, lik man, possessed
of a soul which was subject to the laws
of transmigration. The Egyptian priests
We're not allowed to either eat or look at
the bean. a fact which Aristotle explains
by saying that the bean was used as
common means of voting, and the prohibi-
ton was laid on the priests to prevene
them from in any meddling with the po~
litical affairs of the day. The Roman
priests also had their superstitions con-
corning this vegetable, believing that tha
blossoms were marked with Internal LETT
ters, referring to the dark spots on tina
wings Of the blossom.
Herodotus writes that in his time (i51
b. c. there was on the great pyramid an
inscription telling of the 5000 talents
which had been expended for onion, leeks
and garlic with which to feed the builders
of the pyramid. One may also find tns
Israelites complaining of the loss of the-a
vegetables as well as their "cucumbeIs
and melons" when in the wilderness.

THE SHORTAGE IN GLYNN.
No blame Attached to the Late
Highly Estccmed Treasurer


Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 2S.-A published
statement that the county commissioners
of Glynn had Instructed suit to be brought
against the bondsmen of former county
treasurer. the late John p. Lamb has
caused much comment
The county's side, as given by Attorney
Dunwoody, is that after the death of
Treasurer Lamb, the commissioners ap-
pointed an auditor to check his accounts.
The auditors report states that there is
balance due the county of $7,6i5SS. This
balance Is in no wise regarded as short
age in the generally accepted term IN
which the word is used. 1t has been
known ever since the local bank failures
of 1898 that the late Treasurer Lamb lost
several thousand dollars by them. This
was the county's money, nut no question
has ever been raised as to the honesty ana
integrity of the late treasurer. The loss
was his misfortune. and he was the VIC
tim of a treacherous banking system, as
were many others of Brunswick's citizens.
II is not probable a suit viii be brought
against the estate of Mt. Lamp or ms
bondsmen at once 1t is understood that
legal proceedings of another character
will be used.
Hon. Thomas w Lamb. collector of Gus
toms. ana administrator of the former
treasurer's estate, denies emphatically
that the county has one dollars claim
AGAINST the late treasurer. He states that
after Treasurer Lambs death, himself
and an expert accountant went over the
books and found that Treasurer Lambs
bookkeeper had credited him with paying
a draft drawn by Garrard & Meldrim of
Savannah for $2S7S, when the credit
should have been $2,S7S0O. With this credit
properly made the books were only $l1
out, which was accounted for by mis-
placed vouchers of q coroners inquest.
Investigation by the Morning News cor
respondent discloses the fact that the de-
funct Brunswick state Bank and First
National Bank are due eX-County Treas
urcr Lamb $9.4l140 This sum win more
than offset the claim OF the county against
the estate and bondsmen.
