Reflections of a Bachelor

The average woman does a lot of
foolish things just to see if certain
man will care"
The fact that woman marries a
man at all is generally proof that she
doesn't know as much as he does.
A woman that is too tender-hearted
to kill a mouse don't think thing of
putting perfumery on baby
Before a girl is engaged she thinks
all the men are alike: after she has
been married a year she thinks they
are all different.
AS soon as two people have baby
all its relations begin to quarrel over
what its name shall be; by the time
this is settled they begin to quarrel
over which it looks the most like; by
the time they get this settled there is
generally another baby.

EVERY TRAIN
Seemed to be After Edward COnTad'S Hoo
doc Member.

Allegheny Pa.-Edward Conrad, a
freight brakeman in the employ of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. has
an artificial leg which can not keep out
of accidents. In January, 1898, Conrad
was thrown under train and his left
leg was cut off. The railroad COM
pany provided him with a cork limb,
and he was given the position of gate
man at the Washington avenue cross
ing.
Several months ago Conrads cork
leg was run over by a car About a
year ago, near the Superior Street
Bridge, he was thrown under another
car snd a second cork leg was cut off.
After the third accident. which oc-
CURED last fall when Conrad lost his
third false leg by getting IN the way
of train, ne decided railroading was
too exciting for him and he went back
to his trade-stone cutting.
Lately Conrad was steering a bob
sled in California Avenue and ran in
to a trolley car. The hoodoo artificial
leg was crushed under the wheels. but
no other damage was done.
Conrad will not purchase another
leg He says that his attempts to
avoid crutches have proved too expen-
sive.
In addition, he is little apprehen-
sive that the fateful engine may get
after his good leg, which would mater
tally complicatc matters.

Found In Virginia WlIds.

otherwise known as Anthony Hull
who disappeared fifteen years ago aftel
a trial in Hagerstown for stealing
chickens, of which he was acquitted on
his own testimony, has been found liv-
ing in hut in Berkely County, w. Va
There he subsists ON herbs and wild
meats and sleeps on a bed of straw
but keeps up a rearing fire for COM
pany.
His hair is long, his clothing in tat
ters and he has not worn a pair of
shoes for fifteen years, but tramp.'
about barefoot in all kinds of weather.
The Government has just granted
him a pension of $50 2 month and back

Katie" Manning, an old woman living
near Milestone, who has lost all record

SILVER PENNIES
Buried In an Earthen Jar for Almost Six
Hundred Years.
Uonlion Mail.)

Ionldon Mail)
Samuel McMichan, Dlowman, of
Closeburn, Dumfriesshire. has just
brought to light potful of silver pen
nies that were buried probably 5S7
years ago or thereabouts. His critica,
eye noticed an unevenness in the
ground, and Samuel MciMichan stepped
back over the clods of that high lying
field to ascertain the cause. He found
that his olow had broken open an
earthenware not, and before him lay
scattered hundreds of pieces of what
in his homely lowland way he called
''tin.'
With caDful of "tin" the McMichan
went off and consulted the farmer. and
most of the tin turned out to be sill
yer pennies of the reign of Edward l.,
who annexed Scotland, and Edward II +,
who lost it. There were over two thous-
and of them. all in good preservation,
each measuring three-quarters of an
inch across. They weighed five pounds
in bulk.
The Oldest of the coins are those of
Alexander, of Scotland, who ruled from
1249 to 1885. There are also a few
bearing the mint mark of Waterford,
in Ireland. The latest are those of Ed
ward H., whom the Scots cheerfully
thrashed at Bannockburn in 1874. In
1913 Edward Bruce drove the English
oppressor out of Nithsdale, and it is
suggested that some Englishman, be-
ing in hurry to reach the border. put
his two thousand silver pennies in
potsherd and hid it in the ground.

COLLEGE KIDNApERS
About Time That the Boys Stopped Along
This Line.

Sioux City, lathe second case of
kidnapping of students from Morning
side COLLEGE in a week was indulged
in a week or so ago. The first time the
sophomores spirited away freshman,
but this last time the tables were turn
ed, and Ira Aldrich, sophomore. was
decoyed from his dinner to the street,
bound and gagged by freshmen and
carried off. A freshmen's party was to
be held ut the house of Miss Faye
Haux, in the northern part of the city,
six miles from the college. Aldrich
was taken near there. his face covered
with lamQblack and led into the midst
of the freshmen's festivities. He was
made the butt of all sorts of humiliat
ing pranks and then turned loose. He
was not to be dismissed so easily and
hung around until opportunity offered
to sneak in through the back door Of
the kitchen, where the banquet, un-
served, was piled. He took vast guam
titles of the more delicious eiibles and
left. He got carriage back to the
college, and, calling his sophomore
they engaged in an impromptu
banquet

Gigantic Coal Deal.

The largest coal deal yet consum-
mated in the Clarksburg district was
closed today when John T. McGraw
and associates purchased outright of
Martin Mullen of Cleveland. O., his
tract of 2.400 acres of valuable coal
territory, lying on the Monongahela
River Railroad, btween this city and
Fairmount, for $25O,O00. This tract lies
on Mud Lick and was the only remain
ing field of coal in this county undis-
posed of up to this time. Engineers
are now making a survey from the
Monongahela River Railroad to the
territory and extensive operations will
be begun at once, several openings
having already been located.
Among Mr.. McGraw's associates is
Thomas M. King, of Pittsburg, former
vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad
The offices of the Clarksburg Coal
Exchanges were cCened today and ar
rangements perfected whereby the out
put of all coal mines in the Clarksburg
district will be handled through a gen
eral office, located in Baltimore. The
object of the operators is TO secure and
promote uniformity in sales and ship
ping facilities similar to the plan long
since adopted in the Fairmount region.

had said 'Hello!" in his most pleasins

A clain clothes man made haste tc
reach the scene of the disturbance
He found . woman who was boiling
over with Indignation. She was so ex-
cited thst she could hardly tell her
story.
She had been robbed of s36, as she
believed. The coal man had left a
load of fuel at the house, and he asked
for the money. Unwittingly she had
left her rocketbook on the kitchen
table, and when she returned the driv-
er was still there. but the money was
gone. Then she had to get some more
money and pay for the coal.
The woman's natural conclusion was
that the coal man had been dishonest
and had taken the money. The detec-
tive listened to the story and then sug-
gested that search be made for the
bills and silver, which amounted to
$36. AS the officer was looking hign

Mamma, there's the money under

The "tip" was correct and the money

the purse and thrown it on the floor
When he heard his mother talking of
the matter he recalled what he had
done.

SILVER WATCH
Recalls the Days When Old Van TwiIler
Was Governor.

Essex, Conn.-Antiquarians are en-
gagged in examining watch found yes
terday on Poverty Island, at the mouth
of the Connecticut River. by Hub Gil
lard, clam digger and vender. The
watch is a large silver one, to which
was attached a long, heavy chain, both
ends of which are fastened in the ring.
Five inches above the fastening of the
one end the chain had been cut nearly
in two.
The outside of the watch appears to
have been nicely engraved, but on the
side which lay uppermost the design
cannot be made out, as the action OF
the water and sand has made the plate
as smooth as ice. On the inside of the
outer case is engraved a name, which
can not be made out and the date. 1927.
Whether this really is an old relic
and marks the scene of an accident or
tragedy probably never will be known.
1t is fact, however, that in 1882 Hans
Eensluys, of the famous West India
Company, landed at the mouth of the
Connecticut and purchased a point Of
land from the natives and erected thera
the arms of the States General of the
Netherlands, his object being to obtain
for the company the trade of the river
valley, plan which Van Twiller, Gov
ernor of the New Netherlands. carried
out on a greater scale the following
year.
