One sees many curious phases Of hui
man nature in the safe deposit vaults
Of banking institution-from the wo-
men who never by any chance know
where their keys are and go through
bag and pocketbOok with reckless haste
to the man who is not quite certain
that he has locked his box and returns
to the vault three or four times, puts
his key in the lock, shakes it hard and
finally goes away convinced that "all
is we'll" But in recent experience with
a new customer to whom | was renting
box the climax was reached. When
l handed him the keys and said:
Nov, here are two keys. Separate
them so that if you lose one you will
have the other to admit you"
lie quickly replied:
"Very well. | will put one on my
key ring and lock the other up in my
box"
And yet they tell us that men are
more logical than women.-New Lip

Turkey Stealing.

John Gilpin and Paul Revere will
now have to divide honors in horse
back riding with G. W. Dyke. About
9 O'Clock Monday evening Mrs. Dyke
heard a team about the premises, and
opening the door saw one near the
house by the roadside, and then
heard fiutter of turkey wings and a
squawking. She informed Mr.. Dyke,
and as soon as possible he got into a
portion of his clothes, donned pair
of slippers and started out. By this
time the turkey lifters were on their
way to Stowe, but George bridled the

for several miles, when be succeeded
in stopping them, but only briefly,
for the fellows whipped up, and let
turkey loose, which found a roosting
place on the fence. The rest of the
ride into Stowe was without incident,
George keeping his game in view.
Before Deputy Sheriff Charley Burt
could reach the scene a little sparring
had been INDUCED in, and a Stowe

had wrist bruised in warding off a

PRETTY ROUGH SPORT.
A Cruel Game Played In the Camps
of Canadian Lumbermen,

n SEuCA Ahy Gu lne
of Canadian Lumbermen.
So full of peril is the lumberman's
life that even his sports and games
must be spiced with danger or they
will pail upon his taste. On the long
winter nights a cruel game called
slack, where be ye?" is frequently
played.
The middle of the largest room in the
camp is cleared. Two men are secure
ly blindfolded and, having previously
drawn lots for the first whack, they
kneel on the floor. In his right hand
each man holds a stout leather strap,
in his left another leather strap, or
rope is held by the end either close to
the floor or, in some camps, actually
on it. The latter strap, being kept
uniform distance between them. They
are quite near enough to hurt each
other severely, which not infrequently
happens.
Now, the man who has been lucky
enough to draw the first call shouts,
Jack, Wnefe De ye! 10 WHICH HIS Op-
ponent must Immediately answer,
"Here | be-" Then the first man
strikes at the place where he imagines
his adversary to be with the heavy
leather strap. If he hits his man, he
is entitled to another blow-may call
out again, Jack, where be yeY" and
the other must answer, Here l be-"
This is continued till the first man
misses, when he must take his turn
at being struck.
The others form ring around the
two combatants bets are made, and
each faction encourages and applauds
it's chosen man. There are regular
rounds, and the game is usually Kept
up until one or the other has had
enough or perhaps till one is carried
off the scene wounded. Hard heads
can stand hard knocks, and volunteers
for the sport are numerous. At the
beginning there is generally no malice.
A hard blow is struck-it is expected
it is the game. But it occasionally
happens that the game develops into
a fierce duel.-PearsOn's.

First Synagogue In New York.

In 1855 the Jewish residents of New
York petitioned for leave to build q
synagogue and sent the petition to the
governor and he to the mayor and COM
mon council, who refused to grant it
on the ground that worship was ex-
tended only to sects processing faith in
Jesus of Nazareth; but Governor Don
gan in the next year of his term grant
ed the permit, and in 1901 the Jews
had place of public worship, which
stood on the south side of what is now
Beaver street between Broadway and
Broad street. The attendance was 20
families, or about 100 souls.

THE BRIGHAM WILL CASE.I
Another Move by the Divorced Widow of

Dover Right.

Another Move by the Divorced Widow of
the Millionaire-She wants to Establish
Dover Right.
Boston, Nov. 3.-Notwithstan
the adverse termination of the pro-
ceedings of the State court, Mrs.
Frances 6. Brigham of New York,
brings a similar action in the federal
court with the same end Ia view, that
is, to acquire a dover interest in the
real estate leftby Robert B. Brigham,
the wealthy Boston hotel proprietor.
Yesterday forenoon, through her
counsel, Wellman & Gooch of New
York, the litigant filed in the United
States circuit court a bill in equity
against Charles O. Dillaway, Sylves-
ter G. Wiley and William E. L. Dilla-
way, trustees under the will of Mr..
Brigham.
The allegations aresomewhat SINH
lar to those set forth in the bill
brought in the State court, being
recapitulation of the circumstances
incident to the divorce proceedings,
which resulted favorably to the tes-
tator in 1886. The complainant al
Ieges that since the death of her hus-
band the essential facts tending to
sustain her contention, that the d.
vorce was contained through a con-
spiracy, have been released and she
wishes an opportunity to produce
them so that it might be seen that
the decree of divorce was invalid, thus
making her the lawful widow and heir
of the testator.
With view to forestaling in this
case the move made by the defence in
the State court, which was fatal to
the issue, counsel for the complainant
ask the court to enioin the defendants
from taking any advantage of the al
legged pretended decree of divorce.
Subjoined to long statement of the
case, the bill contains prayer that
a partition of the real estate be de-
creed between the complainant and
the trustees and that her interests be
set off to her. She further seeks an
accounting from the trustees as to
the profits accruing from the estate
since the death of Mr.. Brigham for
the purpose of having one half Of the
amounts turned over to her. A sub
poena has been issued returnable De.
cember 3.
The estate left by the testator is
worth about 81 100000. Aside from
approximately $4,000 for the pay
ment of legacies and annuities, the
residue of the estate is left in trust to
establish a hospital as a monument
to the memory of the deceased. About
four-fifths Of the property consists OF
real estate, so the Importance of the
case may be plainly seen.
The situation is different in the fed
eral court than in the State court,
and the course of the proceedings will
be watched with interest. In the SUI
preme court an effort had first to be
made to vacate the decree of that
court granting divorce to Mr.. Brig
ham from his wife several years be-
fore, and admittedly an extraordina-
ry situation must exist in order to
have a court annul it's own decree,
Accordingly in trying to prevent adj
vantage being taken of the trustees
OF the decree Of divorce in the federal
court, the complainant now seeks to
obviate the difficulty under which she
previously acted.
