GROCER
WHY HIS NEW YEAR WAS A HAPPY ONE
By Ethel Maud Colson.

(NY HE old-time corner grocery is by
INES no means extinct, even in the great
IN cities. Schulzhein's grocery, on the
corner of South Halsted street, Chicago
and one of the little dark alleys which lead
out of this thoroughfare, is a typical Dutch
grocery" of the kind seldom seen nowadays
Schulzhein himself is a staid and kindly old
German who says little, but sells groceries
cheaper than anyone else in Chicago. He
has been doing this so long that the low
prices have ceased to astonish anyone but
the residents of the social settlement neal
by.
WHAT is the social philosophy underly
ing your cut rates. Mr.. Schulzhein? ?" one OF
the residents asked him, half humorously
on the last day of 1899. Mr.. Schulzhein did
not receive the query in quite the spirit she
had expected.
81 hat no philosophy" he said, quietly
"hut l beliefe some things, and l know some
things. Dey are poor people who lif here
and dey cannot pay much. | hat nobody but

ARRESTS AT PARIS FAIR.
Police Report Also Tells of Strange
Articles Found in the Grounds
of the Exposition.

The exposition police report, just
out, shows total of 1907 arrests
on the fair grounds. The causes are
thus divided, says the Chicago Trib-
une:
Murder, 4; murderous assaults, Us:
grimes against morals, 1862; minor as
saults, 1892; defacing property, 4O1;
theft, 4,603.
Strangers arrested were 1,1s9. Of
these A were Americans, which was
less than any other nation, except
Denmark and Polynesia, which had
one each. The total number of arti-
cles found and turned over to the
police was 66,317, including a satchel
containing $45,7O0 in American money,
which never was claimed; more than
5000 umbrellas, one set of false teeth,
24s single carriers, % corsets wrapped
in newspapers or otherwise, three bur-
glars kits, five crosses of the Legion
Of Honor, IA foreign decorations, one
pair of lady's russell slippers, only
slightly used, and many other queer
articles.

what may be claimed before May

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Ktshaps on a British Batt1eship Tha
Caused Fear Among
the Crew.

While the British battleship Thur
derer was off Milford Haven, Wales,
not long ago a curious accident to
one of her guns caused much alarm
among her crew. A target had been
put out for practice with the ten-inch
breechloading guns. When one was
fired by electricity only a portion of
the projectile was discharged, the
base. plate of the shot and portion
of the frame being left in the gun.
When the plate was removed the pres
sure of gas forced a portion of the
projectile from the breech of the gun.
On the second gun being fired hole
about three inches in diameter was
blown through the projectile, the
other part of the base plate being left
behind. The base plate was in this
case separated from the rest of the
projectile.
Such accidents are believed never
previously to have occurred on board
any ship. There was much alarm
among those in the turret, as the
bursting of the guns was for a time
feared. 1t is suggested that either
the powder in the projectiles was
damp OF there was water in the guns.
So far as can be seen both guns are
sound

FINDS BOOK OF MORMON,
Hin ois Farmer Makes the Claim Tha I
He Dug Up the Original
Manuscript,

Interest has been created at Carbon
dale, ILL.,, over discovery made by
Marshal Penrod, who lives on farm
near Dongola. Recently Penrod
grubbed black oak stump out of po-
tato field close to his residence and
found a stone about foot long and
eight inches in diameter. The peculiar
shape of the stone, which resembled
pocketbook, attracted his attention,
and, upon close examination, he found
carved on its face in the English lam
guage the following words: 'This
stone contains the original manuscript
of Moroni (Mormon) Joseph Smith,
The ravages of time had apparently
made but little Roadway on the stone
and upon closer examination he found
the stone was hollow and a hole drilled
entirely through it and at both ends
red cedar plugs had been driven in
Upon removing one of the plugs several
sheets of parchment were found con-
tanning writing in hieroglyphics that
could not be deciphered.

what lots of trouble there is in the
world" remarked the visitor, picking up the
sugar purchased for sick neighbor Now,
the poor woman / am taking this to lost her
husband last summer, and she has an invalid
mother and tiny baby to support And now
she had been too i'll to work for six weeks"
Poor ting" said Schulzhein, sympathet-
ically "Take her basket of groceries wild
you"
"Why don't you take them YOURSELF"
asked the settlement lady, seized with a sud-
den inspiration. '"The mother is of your
nation, and it would do her good to talk Ger
man with you. Go and wish them Happy
New Year, Mr.. Schulzhein, for kindness
sake"
"Vell, I t'ink I vill," said Schulzhein,
greatly to his own establishment. Il go dis
efening, after closing-time."
Closng-time came very late to Schulz
helm, who thought it hard for tired men and
women to be compelled to think of every
thing they needed before half-past seven,
and still harder for sleepy children to be
dragged out of bed unnecessarily early on
cold winter mornings to run over to the
store, and who kept open later than ever
in the holiday season. But he did get the
store closed and the basket of groceries
ready at last, although he went back sew
eral times after extra delicacies. And he
was climbing the stairs of the Ewing street
tenement to which he had been directed be-
fore it occurred to him that he did not know
the name of the people he meant to visit.
A door stood open on the second landing
however; some God-given instinct sent
Schulzhein straight to that door, and when,
next day, the settlement resident dropped
in at the always open grocery to wish Mr..
Schulzhein Happy New Year there were
sounds of women's voices in the little room
back of the store.
Dat vas mine own little Gretchen, dat
sick modder," Schulzhein told her, brokenly,
"and dat poor young widow woman vas mine
own grandchild, and der baby vas der first
great-grandchild of der family. And /
brings dem all ofer here to lif wild me dis
morning. Come in, come in, and say wild
dem Happy New Yearl"
And the settlement visitor was no more
ashamed of the tears they were both she'd
ding than was the old storekeeper himself.

FOUND IN AN OLD STUMP.
Original Manuscript of the Book OF
Mormon Is Discovered In
Illinois,

Considerable excitement has been
created recently in southern Illinois
over discovery made by Marshal Pen
rod, who lives on a farm close to the
village of Dongola, in Union county,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Penrod
in digging black stump out of po-
tato field, close to his residence, found
a stone which was about a foot long and
eight inches in diameter. The peculiar
shape of the stone, which resembled a
pocketbook, attracted his tttention,
and upon closV eNaminati y he found
carved on its face in Eng the fol-
lowing words: "This stone contains
the original manuscript of the book of
the Mormon. Joseph Smith,"
The ravages of time had apparently
made little Roadway on the stone, and
upon close examination he found the
stone was hollow. A hole had been
drilled entirely through it, and at both
ends red cedar plugs had been driven.
Upon removing one of the plugs, sever
al sheets of paper, containing writing
in hieroglyphics that could not be de-

are peculiar, following no known line
of ancient writing.
AT the bottom of the last page was
found written in English: ''The finder
of this manuscript will deliver the
same to the elders of the Mormon
church" The stone still remains with
Mr.. Penrod, and already communica-
ton has been made with the Salt Lake
church, giving the incidents of the find.
1t is thought the Mormon church will
take steps at once to secure the stone
and also the manuscript.
