A Woman Who Leads the Life of n
Hermit in the AIlcEhnnics.

Woman Who Leads the Life Of n
Hermit in the AIlcghnnies.
On barren ridge of the Alleghanies,
in the northern part of Clinton county,
party of hunters few days ago dis
covered cabin nesting among the
rocks on a hillside. The spot was ten
miles from q human habitation, and
the curiosity of the hunters was
aroused as to who the occupant could
be. Going up to the hut, one of the
party hammered at the door. 1t was
speedily opened by woman of about
80 years, who demanded their business.
The bohest member of the party asked
for drink Of water. In reply the wom-
an pointed to a spring which bubbled
UP among the rocks. and then closed
md barred the door.
The hunters carried their story to a
farmhouse in. the valley, where they
learned that the woman leads the life
of hermit, having no companionship
but that of great ST. Bernard dog,
which she has trained to carry mes
sages and bring provisions from the
valley. Nothing is known of her his
tory before her arrival on the noun
tain. The country folk say that she
made her first appearance ten years
ago. During the summer she construct
ed the hut unaided. and none but q
few children have been allowed to en-
ter it. The youthful scouts report that
the HUT is carpeted with the skins OF
bear and deer, which She evidently shot
with her own hand. n repeating rifle
and smaller arms hang on the walls.
No one has any solution TO offer tc
the question as to what drove this wom
an to live in the wilds alone. SHE
shrinlis from contact with grown peo
pie. though the children. who call hel
Aunt Maggie. are always welcome sum
lner visitors to her cabin.

Everyone who has read Daudet's
"Rois Ell Exile" will be interested i'll
hearing that the eX-queen of Naples,
who figures in that celebrated novel
as the model of all wifely and queenly
virtues, is about to marry Hungarian
noblcman, famous for his love of horse
flesh and skill in riding, says the Bos-
ton Herald. This :deal queen-in-eXile's
late husband, who was great fool.
according to M. Daudet, used to be
very much afraid of her. She was the
"better horse" and of dashing. valiant
temper, as her conduct in the siege of
Gaeta bore witness, and she regard
ed the cX-king as silly, not to be con-
sidered save on state occasions. He.
poor man, would go to the Madeleine to
pray for his handsome spouse when she
went to learn bareback riding at the
hippodrome. 1t is matter of history
that her majesty, with her sister. the
empress of Austria, often hired the
hippodrome for their sole use, and
would ride in the ring like two circus
girls. Finally the king gave up pray
ing and joined the ladies in the arena,
where he and Chadwick, the English
clown, would toss balls for the queen
to catch as she rode standing on the
horses back. But those famous prin-
cesses of Bavaria ride no more. The
widowed ex-queen of Naples still loves
fine horsefesh. but her haut-ecole days
are over,

SNAKES PICKED The HOPS.

Why an Indiana Farmer No Longer
Pays Hired Men.
The most remarkable story which
has recently found it's way into print
comes from Versailles, Ind, says the
Atlanta Constitution. In 1926 the hop
growers Of that ncighborhood, accord
ing 10 the story which is now going the
rounds, had some difficulty over the
question of what amount OF hire should
be paid to laborers for picking hops.
AS general proposition the matter is
still unsettled except by one hop grow
er, Mr.. Jacob Presley, who resides in
district known as Deer Lick Dcttoms.
He did not hire any pickers at al this
year, and yet his hops are al picked and
cured. Toexplain this mystery, itseems
that Mr.. Presley during the year previ-
Gus had noticed two yellow snakes. His
FIRST impulse was to kill them, but their
actions were so odd that lie stopped TO
watch them. The snakes would c..mb
the hop poles and pick. every blossom,
throwing them upon the ground. Then
they would extract n certain amount of
hop from the stalk and pass on to the
next one. This set Mr. Presley think
ing If the snakes could not be utilized
instead of men and women. In the
spring Of 1896 be found nest of 13 yell
low snakes down by the creek. and.
capturing them alive. he took them
home. In the fall he tried them on the
| hop fields while the men were absent.
and with such success that he deter
mined to use them this year. Accord
ingly he hired no hands. to the great
surprise of his neighbors. Instead he
turned the snakes loose. putting $50
baskets on the ground to catch the hops
as they fell. The experiment was n
great success. but Mr.. Presley has in
CURED the deadly enrnity of the hop
pickers' union. the president of which,
Bob" Haberuut, promises to put q
boycott on Pressley's snake picked
hops this winter. OF course it is bare
ly possible that the author of this story
may have been under the influence of
hops at the time of writing it.
