a valnnhlc penny nools.

A blacksmith in Camdentown, Eng
land, noticing a good looking book on
secondhand bookstall priced at a
penny, bought It. lie took it home,
and after attempting to read 1t threw
II up on a shelf in disgust. One of his
dodgers saw the book and, noticing the
date, 1850, asked permission TO show
1t TO the British museum authorities
The blacksmith was asked TO call at
the museum. and the secretary. TO his
surprise, asked him what he would
take for the book.
The man was too confused to answer
and still more so when the secretary
asked him If he would consider an Of
fer of EGO. AS he remained dumb, the
secretary Immediately raised the price
to zoo, which was at once accepted
though in great bewilderment. The
book was the first ever printed by Gu
tenberg and was priceless TO the mu
scum. Twice had 1t been lost and once
stolen from its owner, after which its
history was unknown till 1t was found
on the bookstall by the blacksmith.

What used to be known as GLOW bell.
ing was formerly a common sport in
England and an effective method of
capturing all sorts of birds which roost
on the ground, from larks 10 partridges.
Boys still sometimes amuse themselves
with it In the rural districts of Eng
land. and the peasants of Spain and
the south Of Europe make business
OF 1t. The only necessary apparatus is
a large bell, like cowbell or dinner
bell, and lantern with q reflector to
cast bright ray Of light on the ground
The fowler turns out on dark nights
and walks the fields ringing the bell
steadily and searching the ground in
front with the lantern. The noise or
the light, or the two combined, have
such an effect in dazzling or terrifying
the birds that they may be picked up
in the hand.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 11-Up to
TWO short months ago Mrs Agnes
Clark. of Keystone S. D., thought that
| she had been married for 80 years
but Mrs. Clark was mistaken Her
welded life had extended over a pc,
Rod of but 81 years. as she had been
divorced for two years and was never
aware of the fact
THIS rather peculiar state Of affairs
was brought to light in tho county
clerks office when Attorney John Mar
BILE, acting for MIS-. Clark. filed a pc
tition asking the Superior Court to
annul the divorce which John Clark
secured from his wife on June 6, 1902
According 10 Mrs. Clarll's deposition
which was placed on record With the
petition. she was married to John
CLARK in Dakota, in the gear 1865
Clark came 10 California in 1898 and
told his Wife when he left herthat ne
vas coming 10 the Golden State to
make home for them both.
AS years went by and Mrs Clark
failed to hear from her husband, she
wrote 10 the Pension Department OF
Washington and asked that she he
granted one-half of Eer husbands
pension, as she had no means of sup
port. To her surprise size was inform
ed by the authorities at Washington
that her husband had secured q 6i-
yorce from her and that they had
been notified not 10 allow ler any
money. That was in Jul: Of this
year.
Clark secured his divorce on the
ground Of drunkenness and desertion.
IN his complaint he told how his vito
had disposed of property worth
$4,000 for the ridiculous sum Of $500
This. it was alleged. took place while
Clark was away on a visit and while
his Wife was under the inducn &C OF
liquor. AS papers We're never served
on Mrs. Clark inc case was noJ con
tested and the husband was granted?
a divorce without any opposition.
In her prayer for an annuIlment OF
the decree Mrs. Clark denies all the
allegations in the original divorce
complaint; states that she was never
made aware OF the fact that proceed
ings had been taken against her and.
further, that she is too old to work
and should be cared for by her h1Is
