THE OLDEST CONFEDERATE.
Has Just Passed Century Mark and is
 Veteran of Three Wars.

Tn Patrick Clark, of Lucky Hill, on the Southern Railway. between Rem ipgton and Bealeton, Farquier County can boast of probably the oldest Con- federate Veteran living today, says The Richmond Times Dispatch.
 Born in Ireland in 1794, Clark emi- grated to this country when small lad, with his parents. At IS years he entered the American Army and served through the entife war of 1922.
 In Is47 Clark joined the Sth United States Regulars, sailed from New York city to Vera Cruz, was placed in Gen. eral Worth's famous division.sand took a very active part in all the fighting of Mexico. At the close of the Mexican War he was discharged at the Jefferson Barracks. Missouri. -s
 Clark served four years in the Con- federate Army, a member of the 9th Louisiana Infantry, Early's Division Army of Northern Virginia, and was a participant in some of the fercest en- agreements of that bloody period.
 His general health Is excellent. He can walk around, appears to be very cheerful, and experiences a great de- light in describing the numerous con fiicts in which he has taken part. He is entirely blind. is very hard of hear ing and is almost entirely dependent uron pension of1 $12t month which he receives from the National Govern. %snt T for his services in the Mexican

largest numbers near the mouths of rivers that lie along limestone depos- It's. Hundreds of tons of mussels have been brought from the 1hio River opposite Leavenworth, owing to the fact that Blue River, small In- diana stream that runs through the limestone district, empties into tho Ohio short distance above the town.
 Half of the men of Leavenworth are mussel fishers. The river bank Is lined with fishing smacks. On the bank, too. the preparation of the shells for the factory Is carried on. Not all mussel shells will make pearl buttons Tn popular use there are three kinds of shells--niggerheads washboards and pigtoes. The nigger- head is the only shell that is valu- able to the pearl button manufactur- CT. It is thick and the pearl is. gen. orally of good quality. The wash board shell Is furrowed like a wash board, and, consequently Is of no use. The pigtoe. also worthless. is shaped like the toe of pig. The fisher has to catch the good with the bad. how ever and must separate his catch at the end of days fishing.
 After the mussel shells have been nuiled the good shells are cooked. By that process the meat in the shells Is removed and all foreign substance leaves. Then the shells are ready for the factory.
 In the pearl button factory are ma chimes for every branch of the work. One machine poiishes the shell. An other cuts small disks form it. Still another machine grinds the disk to the thickness desired for the button, and drills the holes in 1t. Another ma chine polishes the finished product A score of young women run the ma- chimes. After the buttons have been finished they are sent to the carding room. where other young women sew them on cards ready for the market
 It doesn't cost much to make pearl buttons at Leavenworth. The shells can be bought at $6 a ton. The ship ment to Evansville and Muscatine brings the price higher there. The cost of labor at Leavenworth is low, and the little Crawford County fac tory is making money. Already 1t is taxed to its capacity and extensions are bening figured upon. The supply of mussel shells is almost inexhaustible, and in consequence the interesting in- dustry seems to be growing rapidly. Behind the little factory the company has stored tons of shells that will be consumed during the winter
 The fishing season will close as soon as snow flies An interesting thing about the mussel, too, is that 1t will not bite during dog days" in July and August September and Co., tober are among the best fishing months. and the fishermen are now going 1t merrily. Many of the Leav- enworth fishermen have gone to a point near Paducah, Ky, to try their

Thinks Bankers and Lawyers Used
 Mrs. Chndwick to Get Money. Boston special to New York Times.
 Hetty Green, who stopped over in Boston last night, said regarding Mrs Cassie L. Chadwick: rx
 'T don't know the woman; I never knew her kind; but you just wait until the things over and you probably won't find her to be quite as wicked as she's painted just now. ts
 Probably when they get through with it they'll find some of these big her, using her to get the money. It they've got the money and not she.
 "Now, perhaps you don't think that is possible, but I've had lot of expe. rience, and I know lots more about bankers and brokers than most peo- pie. All the crooked ones ain't in jail, and the Lord knows there's enough of them there.
 And you can't believe all the District Attorneys about her. either. They're the people Pm after now. Remember the Borden case? Don't you know is that case one of them, now dead. of- fered a policeman promotion if he'd lie about that poor girl? Pretty peopIef
 And where was the District Attor- ney when Jane Topman was killing ali those people? There's kind of woman that should be locked up. I'll talk about her now that they've proved ev- erything against her, but generally don't believe in talking about any wo- man-never did"

luck at new fishing grounds discov. cred there The Leavenworth grounde are still good. but the fishermen. like the water rovers they are, wished ta try new fields.
 The streets of Leavenworth ara the prettiest in Indiana, for they are nearly white. After the drills at the button factory have cut the disks from the shells the remnants are thrown in a pile in front of the fac- tory. The Street Commissioner of Leavenw0rth scatters the shells over the highways, and they make an ideal pavement The hoofs of the horses quickly grind the shells to a powder. Then the rains turn the dust into . solid mass.
 It is a pretty sight that greets the eyes of a visitor to Leavenworth aa he approaches the town from the hills. The road winds around the knobs. and finally he is confronted with a pretty little city beside the Ohio. The streets. paved in white pearl, stand in marked contrast with the green trees and blooming Flowers. The river winds lazily around the town. Across from Leavenworth one sees the tree-covered Kentucky hills. and they make beautiful background to the picture.

STREETS OF PEARL
INDIANA TOWN HAS PRETTIEST
 PAVING IN THE LAND.
And Material Used is the Refuse From
 Unique Industry Support ing the Place.

While other towns and cities are struggling to throttle greedy street contractors and are content with such commonplace paving as asphalt, block and brick, Leavenworth, Ind, content- ediy witnesses the work of local company that Is paving her streets gratis with pearl, says The Indianap- oils News.
 Leavenworth is a town of singular history. Early in the last century 1t became a river landing on the Ohio. The landing was at the foot of the Knobs, the range of high hills that follows the Ohio from a point near New Albany. The place became the center of river traffic for Crawford County. Shortly after the landing was established a store was opened there. and around that store has grown @ pretty town of i,UU0 inhabitants. Leavenworth Is on a narrow table Of land that lies between the knobs and the river. Some of the houses are al- most under the walls of the hills.
 The County seat was established and remained in Leavenworth until eight years ago, when, by a vote of the County, 1t was removed to English fourteen miles inland. This removal will long live in the memories of the people of Leavenworth and English. One night, shortly after the votc had been cast. long train of wagons drove out of English. The drivers we're armed. The front wagon of the caravan was loaded with ammunition and firearms. Quietly the wagons pro- ceeded on their way into Leavenworth. There, while the people of the old County seat slept. the men of English took the County records and office par aphernalia and hauled all to the new seat of government. Before the work was complete Leavenworth was aroused, but the inhabitants could of- fer no resistance to the invaders.
 The old court house is now pearl button factory. The manufacture Of pearl buttons has become Leaven- worth's chief industry. The fresh wa ter mussel has its home in the beds of inland rivers. and lives in shell that opens and closes like book. Du- ring certain seasons the shells lie open and 1t is then that the mussel fishers bring them in by the ton. The fish, ermen go out in boats and with brails made of wire, drag the river As soon as the wire touches the mussel 1t closes the shell over it, and Is brought to the surface and deposited in shell boats.
 Mussels are usually found in the

prettiest, so she did not stop until she the brilliant downtown places. For almost the first time her heart beat high in response to the vivid life of the hurrying streets.
 But what was that which caught her eye In the moving multitudes? The turn of head, the outline of a shoul- der, strangely familiar. Was 1t? Could 1t be? With a cry she sprang forward. Joy of joys! Jude? Yes, 1t was Jude.
 A moment more and she wiuld have been beside him. Then something gave her pause. After all, could 1t be Jude3 For he was not alone. A woman had her arm locked in his. She was young and pretty and looked up into his face with a look-ah, with a look that made Elsie clench her hands in a fierce, strange agony.
 Yes. it was Judel But there must be some mistake. Unconsciously. as she kept them in her sight in the crowds, she had gained upon their lettering pace. She was quite near them now. The girl on Jude's arm Elsie saw and ground her teeth--the girl on his arm paused before a win dow and gaily called his attention to something there.
 At the moment, perhaps it was some occult power in Elsie's gaze. Jude turned and met the look of Elsie straight in the eyes.
 Elsie was starting forward with her heart upon her lips and in her face. forgetting everything but that Jude was there. The next moment she stood motionless.
 Jude looked for an instant only, but she saw the flash of recognition in his eyes. Then he turned, slowly, delib- erately. to the girl beside him. He did not look again..
 Elsie stood for a moment as if dazed, then half the life gone out of her soul and her body, she crept away to her tenement room.
 She found that in her absence a mes- sege had come for her. She recog- nized Jude's hand writing and snatch ed 1t up. In the Instant she remem- bered how long 1t had really been since he had written, and how her busy happiness had kept her from noticing 1t.
 I'm sorry. Elsie." the message ran, 'if you'll be much disappointed. But the fact is, we can't get married. I'd have told you before, Elsie-I suppose I ought-but I haven't known it my self very long. When you read this shall be married to some one else. Don't take 1t hard, but just forget all about me.-Jude."
 The next thing Elsie remembered was the thought that came through a great dull. throbbing pain that 1t was time to start to the factory.
 She glanced down with a strange shock to find she was already dressed. She must have been so all night. She remembered vaguely that she had not intended going to the factory to-day. It came to her duly that she was to have been very, very happy to-day.
 It was all over now.
 And then-Jude.
 She looked at the dainty dress. Poor little dress. She felt a sudden pity for 1t as if 1t had been a living thing. It lay just as she had tenderly laid 1t down last night
 An, she remembered now.
 The horrible dream of seeing Jude -or. had 1t been an awakening-came rushing vividly across her benumbed consciousness. Then she was suddenly intense with life again, quivering with the sense of bitter pain, of loss, of utter loneliness stretching out through long years to be.
 From habit she had come to the fac-

tory as usual. She had reported to the foreman and told him she had changed her mind about going away and would go back to her old place. How strange Ter voice had sounded. Her mind did not seem quite clear new. She felt that if she could but shut out the noise, she might think a little. But the din would not stop, and it kept saying
 Jude-Jude-Jude--
 Was this to have been her wedding day? Was 1t only last night she had finished the dress to wear in the little vine-smothered church?
 Oh. no! It must have been a hun dred years ago, and she had seen him -Jude-and a girl was with him. Then the letter--it told that Jude was mar ried Yes how could that be? She, Elsie, was not married. and was not she to have been his wife?
 If the din would only stop. If she could only think. If she could only be quiet she might think 1t all out. And spite of all tho bitter. cruel pain, Jude was true to her after all.
 Just to be quiet-just to thinki
 Ah-she saw the great wheels fly ing round and round. and all at once, as she gazed at them fascinated, they seemed to be drawing her-drawing her-drawinR her.
 She has only to bend little lower -the old operatives had warned her of the danger when she was a new girl this vagraDt lock of hair would catch in the great wheel. and then She could not think just what would hay pen if she yielded to the dreadful power that seemed clutching at her soul, but she felt that 1t might crush out the pain and the ache and the trouble that was throbbing in her poor head.
 Then she might be quiet and think. She has only to stoop little lower -ah. so--

THE COMING OF JUDE

 Jude-Jude-Jude-
 The din of the factory machinery kept throbbing out his name. Elsie put her hand to her dazed head, and wished she could crush the noise out side, the tumult within.
 It came over her with a sharp pang that to-day she had hoped to be far away. Far away in the free open country, wandering with Jude among the fields and woods. She had dreamed that all this city rush and noise would have been left behind forever. Ahead of her the dear country quiet and a life with Jude.
 Jude-Jude-Jude the great wheels , kept clanking on.
 She thought of the pretty dress laid out on the cot in the bare, uncomfort- able tenement room. It was lying there just as her happy hands had placed It's folds-the simple little dress she had planned with such in- finite care only that it might please Jude.
 She had saved long time for the dress, but was 1t not her wedding dress? Was she not to wear it for Jude?
 dude had stayed in the country. and Elsike, who must work to eat bread un- till thf~ time when Jude could bring her home, h&ed gotten a place in the city factory. SIthe had been lonely, but she had had the tEhought of Jude for com psiacfhinf. aye. for meat and drink. And Jude's letters-what joy they had been.N The pressed violetsh them had brought to her even the very smell of the country that she was heart-sick for
 Then what was all the factory weari- ness and its pains when Jude wrote that he was doing well.

 q think 1t can be in the spring, now," Jude had written in December. And then Elsie had begun to save for the pretty wedding things.
 Jude wrote less often after awhile. But. of course. 1t was because he was so busy making ready for the wedding day.
 Their wedding day--the words made her laugh happily. Of course, he was very busy. Why, she, herself. was sometimes so full of thoughts of him and of the preparations for their we'd ding that she almost forgot to send his lotter. But she always remembered in time. so Jude never knew how near ly she forgot him.
 And the sweetest thing of all was that the day-the very day-was set the day that Jude would come to the city to marry her and take her away from the weary factory life forever. She had the little vine-smothered church picked out-a little humble plaoe--a mission church-where she and Jude would be married.
 Finally, only a week was left until the wedding day. Jude had not writ ten. But how busy he must be. even busier than she had been. She knew how she must be ever in his thoughts as he in hers.
 The evening before the day came the last evening she was ever to be alone in the great. unpitying city. The morrow would bring Jude-and joy.
 At the last moment she found she must have just bit more of ribbon to glve the finishing touch to the dress she would wear as Jude's bride to- morrow. She put on her hat and ran out to get 1t. She would have the
