HE WASN'T LIKE ENOCH ARDEN.
After Twenty-Five Years Gilman Made
Wife Leave Her Other Husband.

After separation of twenty-five
years j. A. Gilman and his wife are to
begin life anew in Frankford, Pa.
They were married twenty-eight years
ago. New York was their home for a
while, and then. two years after their
marriage. Gilman went to Doylestown
to work. He disappeared. Four years
search brought no light as to his
whereabouts. After that time letter
came to his wife which said that her
husband had died in an asylum for the
insane.
Mrs. Gilman married Henry Daubert
of Emaus. in Lehgh County. Pennsyl-
vania. Three children were born to
them, and they lived there until few
days ago. Then Gilman, long forgot
ten. reappeared. Mrs. Daubert recog-
nized him and begged him to go away
roof Of her second husbands home
Gilman, unlike the EnOch Arden Of
fiction, refused. He said she was still
his wife, and insisted upon her leaving
Daubert and going with him. The
law was with him, and the woman
she is 61-parted sorrowfully from the
man she had loved for twenty-five
years and made ready to come to Phil
adelphia.
Gilman's own story Is equally
strange. He really was in an asylum,
he says, and while there he received
a legacy Of $4,000 from relative in
Camden. He was discharged then. but
his mind was a blank until few years
ago. He began the search for his wife.
He could not even remember where
they had lived. Finally. however. he
recalled the number Of his Masonic
lodge and through that traced out his
old life. He is 66 years old and broken
in health. Daubert is also old and
feeble, and Is said to be brolSen-hearted
at the loss Of his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

PATTERiNG FEET.

Something's a-foot; beware, beware
Something is climbing the bedroom stair,
With here a stumble and there slip.
Into the passage-trp, trip, trip.
Sharp little footballs queer and quick,
Never a careful step they pick.
Quantity marking morning song,
Hurry scurry they rush along.
Tripping bright on the passage floor,
Up they come to your bedroom door
Never was music half so sweet
AS the pit-a-pat patter of tiny feet-
Dear little voices. high and clear.
Ring like a bell in the sleeper's ear,
Small hands pluck at his touzed head.
Daddy, oh, Daddy, get out of bed.
Keeping the rules-it's all game
Out they patter as in they came,
But somehow the song moves rather slow,
As down the passage and off they go.
And it's oh for the years that nave
passed away.
And the feet that battered at break Of
day.
Now they are heavily booted feet.
And they tramp and stamp in the busy
street.
And some of them seemed to tire Of fun,
SO they wandered away till they met the
sun;
But he sends them sliding along MS
beams.

The last lot of Indians working op
the Northern Pacific extension be-
tween Mckenzie and Linton arrived
home recently. 1t is highly creditable
to the Indians that they have worked
from May until now with very small
intervals. 1t was freely predicted
they would not last two weeks at rail-
road work, but when it came to starv-
ing or working the Indians took to
work.
The contractor. who was at Cannon
Ball, states that the Indians are fully
as good workmen as white men, only
they do not last as long, fresh batch
having to be hired every two weeks.
He is offering 1928 day for all the
Indians he can get, and - for men
and teams. 80
Jesse Flanders, ex-postmaster at
Fort Yates, has been appointed finan-
cial clerk at the agency, in place of
John Flittie. This appointment is a
personal one with the agent, and is
not controlled by the Indian depart
ment. The salary is $1,000 a year.
II The Indians have just received a per
capita payment Of So, being the six
months rent money from the lemon

has been burned over by prairie fires.

ANECDOTES OF THE SHAH.
nj. Persian n,shne.. I. Not Entirely
Without Sense of
.-.-.s.,A. HumOr.

y The shahsupplies fair crop of anec-
dotes daily, says the London Tele-
graphs Paris Letter. His sayings and
doings lend themselves largely to
anecdote treatment, and they are
therefore carefully recorded. The
latest story is about the shah and the
dentist. His majesty suffered from
toothache soon after his arrival in
Paris, and a professional extractor Of
high-class molars was sent for. The
professional looked at his majesty's
teeth and advised the extraction not
of one, but of several. The operation
was postponed for q day, but when the
dentist returned to5the Elysee Palace
hotel he found the shah all right and in
playful mood. The toothache had
gone, and there was no longer any
need for the dentists services. As the
professional was preparing TO leave
the shah called him back, saying: III
do not like to have troubled you for
nothing, so, as you have come, you had
better draw molar from each of my
counselors." The shah spoke with his
eyes fixed on the ground and In medi-
tative manner. When he looked up all
the counselors had vanished, with the
exception Of the grand vizier, who
manfully stood his ground nnmindful
as to whether his all-powerful master
was in joke or in earnest. The other
counselors evidently believed in the
earnestness of the masters utter
ances. The anecdote is something like
that old one told Of the present shah's
predecessor, who, when in Paris, asked
to see NJ. Deibler at work with the gull
lotine. When he was informed that
there was nobody in La Roquette at the
time waiting for execution heproposed
that one Of his suite should be handed
over to Deibler and decapitated in the
Champs Elysees. 81 s

WHERE DO SALMON. FEED3
A Question That Even the Fish Ex-
saDerts Are Unable to Sa4asfac.
q ss3s tortly Answer,

There is no family of fish more in
'teresting than the salmon, and in no
other fishery have the benefits of arti-
fetal propagation been more clearly
demonstrated. The homing instinct Of
the salmon enabled the propagators Of
fry to learn, at the beginning ;of their
work, that it was worth doing, writes
John R. Spears, in Success. Salmon
Matched in any stream usually return
10 that stream'when they are ofspawn-
ing age. The propagators reared SAL
mon. to the size Of fngerlings, marked
them, and turned them loose.f In due
time the. marked fish returned and
were caught in the home sire an. tits
a curious fact, however, that,Sin spite
of the homing instinct, salmon are
found at the spawning season in the
brackish water at the foot Of ALASKAN
glaciers, where, It is believed, no fish
was ever Matched.
II Another curious fact, learned
through marking the artifcially propa-
gated fish, is that a lingering weigh
ing from one to two ounces may grow
to weigh from two to ten pounds in
six or eight months, and in two years
aweight of 40 pounds has been reached.
The growth depends, Of course, on the
food supply. But where salmon feed
and what they feed on have not yet
been learned. It's supposed that they
find small marine animals so numerous
in their deep-sea haunts that they
swim about "as if in . soup" Perhaps
the deep-sea haunts will sometime be
discovered.

POINTS ABOUT FACTS.


~
The physiognomist divides the facess
into three so-called grand classes. The
toblong face, the round face and the
pyriform or pear-shaped face. The OBJ
long face is one which would flt more
readily into an oval than . round or
pear-shaped diagram. says London
Spare Noments.
For mere physical beauty the oblong
or oval face has the highest standing,
and the artists who paint youthful
beauty endeavor to get what is called
the pure oval to the face. individuals
with an oblong or oval face are natu1s
ally of strong and active nature, with
keen powers of perception and much
imagination. They are self-reliant and
persevering. They are not, strictly
speaking, highly intellectual, although
they are often talented. They are con-
slant in friendship and strong in their
affections. ~,
The round face belongs usually to

broad and round, chest full, and in
