"Worked" Such Men as Clews and

Amonm his victims, according to Po-

had an office in the Mills buildir.g not
long ago." said Captain McCluskey
"When he had wormed himself into Mr..
Clews good graces, he calmly laid down
a $1,000 check, and Mr.. Clews cashed It.,
only to discover it was worthless; but
Gibson had disappeared. Gibson met
Mr. Wanamaker in Philadelphia some
time ago and the drygoods man was at

paper be started. and run by him in he

chased. The next thing Mr.. Wanamaker
knew Gibson had sold the plant for sew

A PRIVATE AMBULANCE
"reminiscences of the Civil War Re.
lated by an Old Soldier

Among the men wounded in my reg
iment at a battle in Virginia" said the
old soldier, was man in my company
who was shot through the body and
taken to the rear. Our troops fell back
after the fight, and we had more wound
ed than we had transportation for; but
two men out of his own tent set out to
carry this man wherever we were going,
which was, presumably, the camp be-
hind retrenchments the we'd left in the
morning.
They took turns at backing him for
half mile or SO, until they came to a
farmhouse that had grassy yard, in
front. They laid him down on the grass
and took little look around the house
to see what they could see. In build
ing at the rear they came across some
thing that made em stand still and look
at each other and laugh; it was a hand
cart. What use the folks here had
made of it they couldn't guess, but they
knew what use they were going to make
OF it. They got it out Of the building
and rolled it around. the side of the house
alongside the wounded man and drop
ped the handle on the grass. He laughed
rest of the way in a private ambulance.
1.-THE two men took their blankets off
their shoulders and united them and
spread their rubbers down on the bottom
of the hand-cart and spread their wool
en- blankets down on them and then they
ran the hand-cart up and rested the
handles on the front steps Of the house
and lifted in the wounded man and laid
their guns in beside him. Then they
turned the cart around again and one
man got inside the shafts, with the cross
piece against his waist belt and the other
man got behind to push. They all smiled
again when they started, wounded man
and all.
1t beat backing out Of sight 1t was
dry weather and the roads were sandy,
and up hill and on the level the wheeling
was hard. But there was more down
hill than therA was up, places where
they had to hold back, and 1t was all
immensely more comfortable for the
wouuded man; and so they got him back
to camp and to the surgeon again. But
he died, after all."-New York Sun.

AUTOMATIC LAWN MOWER
Too Great Success on Its Trial Trip
Leads to a Return to Old Methods

"Mr. Sipy," said one of his neighbors
"is not a lazy man, but he likes to eX-
pertinent He is interested in electricity,
and, living in the suburbs, as he does, it
was natural enough that he should make
an electric lawn mower. He attached
couple of wheels to the rear of his mower
to give it wheel base to carry platform
upon which he set a small dynamo.
After a good deal of trouble he got the
steering apparatus that he had devised
to go with it 50 adjusted that the ma
chine would turn when 1t came to the
end of the line, and then one morning he
brought the mower out and started it,
and went up on the verandah himself
and sat comfortably down to read the
newspaper.
"And the machine worked beautifully,
but, unfortunately, Mrs. Sipy's pet dog
got mixed up with it. The dog had al
ways been accustomed to seeing the lawn
mower stop when it got in the way, but
this machine didn't stop. 1t kept righ.
on, and the first thing the dog knew the
mower was walking right over it and
shingling off its hair.
when Mrs. Sipy, who had come down
to sse what was the matter with the dog
stepped out on the verandah she saw
Mr.. Sipy absorbed in the newspaper and
the moving machine moving down the
flowers along the border of the lawn
Mr.. Siply had become so interested ir
something he was reading that he had
neglected to stop the mower when it ha5
finished the lawn, and it was now sailing
down through the flowers.
This was too much. Mr. Sipy said
that all that was needed was guard rail
around the machine, to keep off dogs and
children, and an automatic cutoff that
would stop it on the edge of the grass.
and he could fix these things in day, but
Mrs. Sipy wouldn't listen to it. and so
after that one trial of it with the motor
attachment the Sipy's lawn mower was,
again operated in the old-fashioned
way."-New York Sun.
