H0ARDED MONEY FOUND
IN LADY'S OLD TRUNK

/ - -
The opening of an old trunk of an
aged and supposed penniless woman
at Abingdon, which was found to be
filed with gold and currency. has oc-
casioned much talk in that city
About ten days ago there died in the
city of Abingdon an old Swedish wo-
man by the name of Mrs. Anna Nor
man. The funeral expenses were
paid by a subscription raised by two
of the prominent men cf the city
About week afterwards these gen
tlemen in company with the old
ladN's daughter. Miss Christine. were
looking into the effects of the de-
parted mother and II number of dis
covcrieS were made. Mrs. Norman
was more than eighty years of age
and queer in her ways. 1t is said
that her daughter knew nothing of
the effects of her mother and was
rather curious to find our the reason
of her guarding them so closely.
Various discoveries were made. but
the greatest was when the old iron
trunk, made forty or fifty years ago.
was pried open. The chest was about
the size of an ordinary commercial
heavy iron. 1t was strapped with
strong bands of iron and locked Sc
cure with two padlocks.
Once inside the trunk there was "A
sight to bring JOY to the heart of the
hard working daughter. who for
many years has supported herself
and cared for her mother by going
from house to house and doing fam
lily waShings. Gold. silver and paper
money were the most valuable finds
of the inspectors. Much of the gold
was made in the thirtieS or forties
and the paper money was of II species
long ago gone out of use and recalled
by the government. There were the
old fractional paper ten, twenty-five
and fifty cent pieces, to an amount
almost equalling 1,sOO.
The trunk i'm which was stored the
boarded money was brought from
Sweden by the mother and daughter
when they came to this country al
most forty years ago. 1t had been
carried from place TO place and when
they came to Abingdon wears ago it
was taken into the house where the
ola lady died. The house was an old
one. hardly fit for the
of cattle. but under no
consideration could Mrs. Norman be
induced To leave the place to secure
better quarters. This is account
ed for by the fact that she was men
tally unbalanced for years, and that
during her worst spells was simply
ferociouS. She would not allow the
daughter To bring any modern furni- !
turc into the house. and for this rCa- |
son Christine had rented room at
the house of neighbor, where she |
remained when her mother was on |
one of her tantrumS.
y The money which was found was |
taken to the First National bank. |
where it Will be held i'm trust for the |
daughter.

which he and his company drew a
hous2ful CT people several nights in
the week to hear and see them aCs

for their next winters New York Se:t-
son-the most important of Shake
speare's plays.
The little building had of course Il
gallery, and in the gallery the gods
became SO obstrepcroUs ON occasions
that it was with great difficulty the
play could be proceeded with. The
ringleader, well known rough of the
town, was a man named Bill Hanra-
han. One night Il happy inspiration
seized Sothcrn. Having learned the
name of this prominent member of The
rowdy element, he addressed him in
the midst Of the most uncarthly noises
as follows: Mr.. lIanrahan, will You
be good enough to take charge of the
gallery and keep order for me, and l
shall feel very grateful" The result
was magical. Bill became ut once an

Marriages without Money.

The poet and divine, John Dome,
Who became dean of st. PauPs in 1921,
married a daughter of Sir George
Moore without the consent Of her par

that he was NOT TO expect any money
from him. The bridegroom went home
and wrote this witty note. John Dome,
Anne Dome, undone," which he sent
to the angry father, and THIS had the
effect of restoring them to favor. They
were very poor at first. but things
soon got brighter, and they lived most
happily together.

Not nm Occasion For Haste

During the Sikh war the late Field
Marshal Sir Neville Chamberlain, who
then held the rank of colonel, called for
volunteers to assist him in blowing up
a bastion. Three or four responded,
and the colonel led the little party
close up to the point where the mine
was to be fired. AS soon as the ex-
plosives were in place and the fuse
lighted the volunteers started to run
in order to get out of the way of the
explosion no less than to effect, as
speedily as possible to retreat to the
safety of the British lines. They had
not gone dozen yards before Cham
berlain shouted: Come back! There's
to be no indecent haste, young men.
Well walk" And walk they did, while
the fuse slowly sputtered down to the
waiting powder.
