is we'll preserved, considering her OK
IRENE age, and rarely leaves her cabin,
although she is sociable enough when
the neighbors call to that over old
times and inquire after her health.
Within a mile and a half of her home
is a railroad, but the old maid has
never seen a train Of cars, much less
ridden on one, and says she has no
desire to do so.
She always dresses in a gown of pink
calico and wears a red bandana hand
kerchief around her head, these ar
ticles of apparel being a style to which
she became partial in her youth and
her love for them has been proof
against the advancing years. She de-
clares she never married because she
never saw a man good enough for her
and never kept company" with buI
two men in all her life. These two
evidently did not come up to her ideals
and so she remained a spinster. The
only sign of failing powers is shown b,
her impaired memory, which has no
been quite right since she had an at
tack of grip some years ago. This wa;
the only serious illness of her life an
she says she feels as strong as she dit
twenty years ago.

Seymour, Ind, correspondence: Inc
oldest old maid in the world is the dis
tinction claimed for Miss Elizabeth
Bowling. who has lived near here
since 1916. That length of time does
not represent her age, however, Tor
Aunt Betty" as she is universally
known, is rounding out her n hun
dred and second year and declares
that, live as long as she may, h Will
die an old maid. She has become so
accustomed to it now, after a century
of celibacy, that she considers hers2'l
proof against the Establishments of the
opposite sex. and will carry to her
grave the title of the oldest maid in
the world.
She was born in Hardin county,
Kentucky, Aug. II, 1886. and when 20
wears old came to Indiana. Since that
time she has lived in a rude cabin
made of poplar logs, which were fellcd
on the spot where the cabin stands.
The location is especially dreary, be-
ing the heart Of a range OF rugged,
! steep and desolate hills in the south
| western part of the county. Aunt

now nearly 81 years old, are dead. She

New Tunnel CoInnIeted.

The improvement on the Pittsburg Di-
vision of the Baltimore and ono railroad,
a. miles west of Cumberland, at Falls
Cut. will be completed by December LIST,
and trains will begin running over it
within ten days thereafter. Falls Cut is 4
cutting through a spur OF the mountain,
and is about 20 feet in depth. and has
continually given trouble by rock sliding
down on the track. 1t has had to be braced
with heavy timber every few feet for its
entire length, some 800 feet, and requiring
constant care and watchtulness, was,
therefore, very expensive to keep lip.
In order to eliminate this cut it was ne
cessary to rebuild one mile of new road
way. which involved the construction of q
double-track tunnel $50 feet in length, ano
three bridges.
By this change the road was straight
ened considerably, taking out some SHARP
curVatureS and introducing curves of a
longer radii. The improvement is on wha'
is known as the Eastern slope of the ALLIE
ghenies, and the grade is about 81 feet Il
the mile. The tunnel and bridges were
constructed with a view of double-track
ing the entire Pittsburg Division somt
time in the future.

The Young Man Thought the Customer
Had Made n Mistake.
The man with the ford face and
the bald head grew more and more
uneasy as he sat the table,
says the Detroit Free Press. He tried
to read a newspaper, but every now
and then would rdrop it, adjust his
glasses and glare UP and down the
room to find the waiter to whom he had
given his order. At last he managed
to detain him, at the risk of being
scalded by the soup he carried, and
inquired: How about that dinner |
ordered?' 1T will be here immediate
ly, sir" was the answer. The guest
tried to read his newspaper once more,
but as time passed his uneasiness in
creased until he was glazing up and
down the room as fiercely as ever. He
found his waiter again and the same
conversation was repeated. After two
or three more similar attempts he
arose and went over to another waiter
who was gracefully leaning against a
pillar. Look here" said the guest,
Il want to know something" YES
responded the waiter. What l want
to know is this: Am 1 ever going tc
get any dinner, and, if do get it, wher
will it be-" The languid young mar
looked at him and replied: Excuse

1t is said that it's quaint name was

Why do they stay? Because each mar

When a convict has cut two cords of

Cprious Lake in the North Sea.

In the midst of Kildine, an island in
the North sea, is perhaps the most
curious lake in the world. The sur
face of its waters is quite fresh and
supports fresh water creatures and
fresh water vegetation; but deep down
it is said to be as salty as the bluest
depths of the sea, and sponges and
salt water fish live and have their be-
ing, to the delight and despair of all

brothers. 1t is quite in the nature of
events that it should be so, for we have
a pretty little town, with business
booming and everything prosperous.
We get all the market at home affords
and at very reasonable prices, consid-
ering the standards set in Alaska. The
weather is as yet all one could ask for
and outside of the lonesomeness it is
as good a place to make money as an
other. And we-that is, my partner
and myself-are making money now
and we should not be surprised if By
next spring we were ahead several
thousand dollars. For we are rounding
out the complex business education we
have received since coming hore-log-
ging, teaming, carpenter work, chop
ping wood, house building, etc.-by go
ing into the laundry business. Yes,
there are steam laundries in Alaska.
n week ago we bought the Troy
hand laundry Of Skaguay for $3.50, pay
ments being $50 cash and the balance
at $50 a month. The man who has been
running the business has made enough
u of it since August l to build one Of
the best hotels in the town, costing
nearly $4,000. He says he landed here
without a cent and l am inclined to
believe him, for in looking over his
books | found weeks where he cleared
$500 and $500. Of course this was dur
ing the rush. Our first week ended last
night and we cleared $62. We have
two men and two women working for
us and my partner and myself hustle
on the outside for business. Just now
we are negotiating with a man at Jun
eau for the purchase an an entire
| steam plant he has there, and will puI
| it in at once if we can get a good price
! and agree on terms. 1t is worth about
