Miss Leeds Is Also an Heiress and a
Beauty.
A young woman who is a collateral
descendant of George Washington, and
who is besides one of the heirs to an es-
tate of S57, 100000 is salesgirl in a
st. Louis store and presides over the
perfume counter. She is Miss Evadne
La Venda Leeds. Her father is an in
spector for a refrigerator company and
at present the family are in but moder-
ate circumstances. Although there is a
prospect that the Leedses will inherit
about $50, 900, Evadne has not yet
thought of giving up her work, for she
uses her earnings to procure a musical
education, and it may be years yet be-
fore the estate is settled and distributed
among the 1900 heirs who are scatter
ed about the country.
The millions which are to be distrib-
uted are to come from the sale Of the
Ball estate, one of the largest in Phil
adelphia. 1t was originally the proper
ty of Joseph Ball, who died bachelor
in 1928. 1t was formerly known as

MISS RvADHE LA vENDA LEEDS,
Hope Farm and now lies in the heart
Of Philadelphia. At the time Of his
death it was leased for term of 81
years, and the time expired last April
He also owned valuable property in New
Jersey. Besides this, the heirs have
learned that they are entitled to several
thousand dollars Of the amount paid by
the French government in spoliation
claims Joseph Ball was shipowner
at that time and all his vessels were de-
stroyed. By establishing this claim the
heirs will secure their full rights to the
Ball estate.
Miss Leeds, however, thinks more of
the fact that her mothers great-grand-
mother was a sister Of Joseph Ball and
that both were cousins Of Mary Ball,
the mother of George Washington, than
she does Of the fact that Joseph Ball
was wealthy.

Where is Hutchinson?

The piano tuner who came IA fb1o

Iafie tickets for a piano h. nevet
owned. is now wanted by a good many
people.
1t appears that be first proposed to
Kenzie who resides in ne north end
OF town. The lady offered to sell him
the piano for $50 as the make was not
especially modern.
He issued tickets in Carson and a
good many up the valley and before
he left the city he told Mrs, Mckenzie
mat he would leave town with yer
5000 ahead. She supposed ar the time
that this was partly his profits on
piano tuning, etc, but now thinks it
MAS the proceeds Of his ticket selling
IN the rattle, which never came off
He also proposed to trade some land
zeal W~atsonville for her house and
lot 10 Carson but as 5000 as she said
she would indulge in DO bu-iness

a trolley car line from the city of Cairo
to the pyramids of Gizeh. The imme-
date effect of such line, when COM
pleted, will be TO render the pyramids
more accessible and to accomplish for
visitors a saving of time and money.
The good effect of the Cairo and Gizeh
line will be the same as that of the cog
line built up the Rigi in Switzerland
and Mount Washington in New Hanp-

HURRYING TO A FIRE.

from the west. The engine approach
ing from the east turns the corner OF
Eighteenth street, two blocks above,
just as the one coming from the south
is over a block away. 1t is now mad
race between the two to see which I'LL
first reach the box. The one approach
ing from the south has the advantage
of clear run up the avenue, however,
and arrives at the corner before the
other. The man at the box indicates
by pointing to his home the location of
the fire, and the driver of this engine,
who knows the hydrants in his district
as well as he knows the stations, turns
the corner on q run and pulls his horses
up beside hydrant nearly opposite the
fire.
Another truck company has followed
this first appearing engine, also coming
from the south. Another battalion
chief has turned the corner of Four
teenth street, coming from the east, and
following him a Strengthening ap-
paratus-a four-wheeled wagon, carry
ing what one might almost call an enor-
nous cannon with an inverted muzzle
this is a water tower" Still another
detachment dashes toward the box from
the north. This is big red wagon
drawn by two noble animals that are
covering the ground with great leaps.
1t is filed with men wearing white rtb-
Der coats and red fire hats. This is a
section of the fire insurance patrol, and
they come to protect property from
damage by water, and to save what they
can. The third engine coming from
the west follows and pulls up at hy-
drant on the corner and awaits or
ders."
The first company to arrive have
rushed into the basement with their
hose. The engine is at work in an in
slant, and a few dashes of water eXtin-
guishes the fire. The fire insurance
patrolmen go through the building,
opening windows to let the smoke es-
cape and ascertain the amount of dam
age done. Members of the first truck
company to arrive assist the men from
the engine company in putting out any
remaining traces of fire by pulling
down woodwork, plaster, etc, in the
kitchen. The other companies stand
ready to get to work until ordered "to
quarters" by the battalion chief; and
soon there is little evidence of fire be-

certain bricks in the end wall of the
house. They proved capital nesting
places for the sparrows, and several of
the birds were not slow to make use of
them. One day the workmen around
the building noticed sparrow which
was making a great to do over the re-
pairing of a nest. The little fellow flew
in and out of the hole, collecting all
kinds of shreds and patches and inter-
weaving them with the old work of the
nest. Finally the bird secured long
piece of grocer's cord, such as is used to
tie up, small packages, and flew with it
to the nest. The workmen saw the bird
enter the hole with the string trailing
after it. Then as the part of the cord
still hanging out of the hole was sub
mitted to several continued jerks they
concluded that the bird was interweav-
ing the cord with fabric of the nest.
They dismissed the matter for the time
being and went about their work.
Later in the day the bird was seen
to be hanging dead outside the hole. a
slipnoose on the end of the string which
il had been using TO build the nest was
tightly drawn around its neck and part
of one wing. a photograph was taken
on the spot and an examination made.
1t was evident that the bird had drawn
the string into the hole until nothing
but the slipnoose remained outside, then
for some purpose had flown quickly out,
and in so doing had passed its head
through the moose. The force with
which the moose closed around its neck
must have strangled the bird instantly.
1t hung limp, the Interviewing of the
other end of the string in the nest keep
ing it from falling to the ground.-Chi-
