What period of life lis most enjoy
able? This is a question suggested by
the gossip of the veterans as interest
ing as that of their diet or their habits.
Mr.. Firth, r. A.. by the way declares
he has no rules about eating, and he
tells friend who gives porrdge as the
secret of old age that If old age can on
ly be had by living on porrldge he pre-
fers short life. AS to the enjoyable
part of life, the late Mrs. Kelley said
life grew healthier as the years went
on and that mankind had better days
before it than behind. Mrs. Cady Stan
.cn, VINO is eighty-three, says that life
was never fuller or sweeter to her than
it IS now, when she understands the
true philosophy of life, wastes no en-
ergy in regrets of the past or fears for
the futre. "The future is a sealed
book and the past cannot be remedled,
She lives in the present, bending all
her energies to the duties of the hour.

Grosvenor May Have His Troubles.

IF the opposition against General
Grosvenor should move in solid phal-
anx, said Senator Lutz the other day
"he will have hard time being nomi-
mated for another term from the Elev-

DEAD CHILD
Found in the Greek at Cambridge
Wednesday Afternoon.

Cambridge. o., April 21.-On Monday
afternoon while William II. Hoyed. a
colored man who resides on Coshocton
avenue, was passing down Wills creek,
and when a few rods below Steuben-
Vile avenue bridge he noticed what
apeared TO be a bundle of rags lying
just under the surface of the water and
not far from the bank. He paid no at
tention to 1t at the time, but went on
down the creek and spent the after
noon fishing. Yesterday afternon
while in conversation with a friend on
the subject of fishing, Mr.. Hoyed
was reminded of what he had discover
ed and told his friend about It, and
they decided to make an investigation
They went to the creek and found the
mysterious package in the water a
few feet below where Mr.. Hoyed had
discovered it on Monday.
The package was taken from the
water and proved to be grain sack
in which was the body of a male child
wrapped in ladies night dress. The
package also contained other indica-
tions that The babes stay on earth was
short
On The breast of the babe were tied
two stones which would weigh twelve
to fifteen pounds.
Mr., Hoyed telephoned the Mayor and
Oilicers Albright and Johnson and Cor
oner Dougherty went to the scene, and
after viewing the remains the coroner
ordered the body removed to McDon-
AIDS establishment and prepared for
burial.
Last night a post mortem was held
by Drs, Cain, Frame and Vorhies
which developed that the babe was a
fully developed white male child and
had life when born. There was a
largs bruise on the back of he head at
the left side and one eye was horrobly
bruised.
1t is thought that the new born babe
was probably thrown from the bridge
ON SUNDAY night, as it was first dis
covered Monday and only a short dis
tance below the bridge
Some unfortunate has tried to cover
shame and disgrace, but murder will
out. The officers are working on clue
and developments are anxiously await
ed.

yolver.
Besides the revolver the burglar had
a wax candle in his hand. He was
about 10 years old and tough looking.
Mr.. Sherman kept his nerve.

Anything you've got, please" said
the burglar.
There's some silverware over there
in those baskets, but it's all marked.

retorted the burglar. Isn't there any
thing else around that's lighter?"
Say, what's the matter with our

"Well, I've only got about $4 here,
but if you will go away and give me
your address II send you a check to-
morrow"

lar; " sure thing is a sure thing, and
l am not taking any chances"
Wont you accept the word of a
gentleman" demanded Mr.. Sherman.
by lne way, what is your name?"
demanded the burglar.
Its Sherman-W. w. Sherman of
the Bank of Commerce. Why?"
"A banker and only 81 in the house"
commented the burglar Maybe I'll
want to make restitution some day and
then your address will come in handy"
While the conversation was going on
the burglar was lodging around the
room in a search for valuables He
pocketed two gold watches and cou-
pie of scarf pins which were lying on
the dresser. He peered into boxes and
drawers.
We'll I'm going now he announced
when he concluded his search. please

night, sir!"
Mr.. Sherman waited until the burg

for help. Percy Sherman, his son who
had heard the murmur of the CONVEX
sation from the room above, responded
Then they hunted up a policeman.
Investigation showed that the burglar
had entered the house by forcing the
catch of window in the front parlor.

It GOES AGAINST JOHN DERN
SUPREME COURT DECIDES HE
MUST PAY HASKINS
For 2,O1O Shares of Silver Lode Stock
at the Rate of 81 Shareholder
Court Matters.

In the case of Ezra D. Haskins vs.
John Dern, appellant, the supreme
court yesterday handed down an opin-
ion written by Justice Miner and con-
Cured in by Chief Justice Bartch and
Justice Baskin, affirming the judgment
of the trial court. The facts appeared
to be that on Dec. 90, 1895, Haskins
was the owner of 900 shares of the
capital stock of the Silver Lode Mining
d Milling company and on that day he
caused a certificate thereof to be made
out in the name of the defendant Dern,
and delivered the same to Dern, where
upon the defendant executed and de-
livered to plaintiff an agreement in
writing as follows:
Received from Ezra D. Haskins one
certificate of stock in the Silver Lode
Mining and Milling company for 2,010
shares Nc. As, issued in the name of
John Dern. l agree to return this
stock to said Ezra D. Haskins on Aug.
l, 1896, or pay to the said Ezra D. Has
kins the sum of 81 per share therefor.
Said John Dern agrees to pay all legal
assessments levied upon said stock dur
ing the time he holds the same. 1t is
agreed that if Hudson Smith takes up
the option which he has on $4,000 shares
Of the capital stock of said company,
that Mr.. Dern VIII return said stock to
said Haskins upon the taking up of
said option.
The defendant not having returned
the stock or paid for it on Aug. l, 1896,
the plaintiff on Aug. 26, 1897, brought
this suit and recovered a verdict and
judgment for 5000 and interest.
The defendant admitted that he had
not returned the stock, but alleged
that after Aug. l, 1896, he offered to do
so, but the plaintiff would not receive
it, The defendant by way of answer,
alleged that the stock of the company
consisted of 600 shares, of which the
defendant and his associates owned
5000, which, when added to the 2,010
shares of the plaintiff constituted a ma
jority of the stock and in order to gain
control of the corporation the PLAINTIFF
2,010 shares We're put in the defendants
name and for no other purpose, and
with no intention that the defendant
would buy the stock, which at no time
was worth to exceed 10 cents per share.
The court below found that the writ
ten agreement governed and refused to
allow the Introduction of parole testi-
mony in modification or explanation of
it, and directed the jury to return a
verdict for the plaintiff, which the SUI
preme court now affirmed.
