The Man of Habit

I'VE might move,' she suggested a
moment later.
no. said the man; *lets hang on
and see, what he does."! 49,.
HE" apparently, had no intention
of moving. When his luncheon was
served he. ate it slowly. Presently
the man and woman went away. A.
ter their departure curiosity got the
better of the man at an adjoining ta-
BILE who had watched the proceeding
throughout.
Il am going to find OUT he said,
what that white-livered pelican
meant by freezing that couple out"
In slightly modified terms he put
the question to the solemn diner.
why" said the :|pelican," Il didn't
mean anything by it. This is my ta-
Bile. I've eaten luncheon at this ta-
BILE every weekday for the last fifteen
years.. You don't suppose, do you,
that I am going to be thrown out of
gear at this late day by pair of SEN
timental lallygaggers?
Good Lord,'' said the .inquisitive
man, were you never mushy your
self? Couldn't you tell? Couldn't
you see?"

H. G. Hitner has been exercising his
inventive genius, and the result OF
his efforts is that the weekly family
wash day, instead of being burden,
as it is: to most people, is the day.

whereon man is permitted ITO labor.
He is the owner of rotary washing
machine which he geared to his BIZ
cycle after the latter had teen sus-
pended in frame. After the cloth
ing has been placed in the machine,
with the usual supply of water and
soap, Harry lights cigar, mounts his
bicycle and wheels away. BY the
time he has pedaled enough to- take
him to New Market if the wheels
were on the ground, the clothing has
been washed, he has had an enjoyable
ride, and he and his good wife are
correspondingly happy. This is only
one of the many new things that have
been inaugurated in Edinburg during
the last few months, and it kelps to
prove what every one says about us

boom.''
P. S.-Since last week the weather
has gotten too hot for Harry to pedal,
so he has attached County Treasurer
Hutcheson's motorcycle to the ma

1t happened in a Fulton street res
taurant that contains by actual count
seventy-two tables. At 3 o'clock last
Wednesday afternoon five of these ta-
Dles were occupied That left sixty
seven for the accommodation of late
arrivals. At a few minutes past a
man entered. He was thin, had short
gray hair, stubby gray mustache
and stony, staring blue eyes. He
came in at the south end of the room,
walked stolid!y past the sixty-seven
empty tables and the four that were
occupied by solitary diners and sat
down in the end chair of the seventy
second table, at which man and
woman were seated.
The couple were engaged in a con-
versation which, to all appearances,
was tender as we'll as confidential.
They stopped talking when the man
sat down and looked at him and at the
empty tables suggestively. But the
mans mind was not in a receptive
state. Subtle hints were lost on him.
Calmly he studied the bill of fare,
from which he finally selected a meal
of clam cocktail, sirloin steak and
coffee. The woman in the case looked
desperate.
rs there no remedy?' she said.
None short of actual murder" re-
piled her companion.
Under the circumstances we would
be justified in that" said she. ANY
jury in the land would acquit u.s.

Allison Tells Of CHANCES.

Imagine Senator Allison, many
years chairman of the influential
committee on appropriations, in a long
struggle to secure the appointment
of a skilled laborer to help him in his
duties around the capitol! Then you
have a picture of the astute Iowan
as he described himself recently to
his colleagues.
During debate regarding the extern
sion of the capitol building Mr.. Alli-
son became. reminiscent about the
growth in the amount of public busi~
ness that senators must attend to.
He said that when he first came to
the senate, thirty years ago, senator's
had no clerks or others to help them
"Severalt years passed" said Mr..
Allison gravely, "and still l had no
assistant. Finally I succeeded in Sc
curing the appointment of a man as
a skilled laborer, who helped me in
my clerical work"
A smile swent round the senate
chamber at this description, for now
adays every senator has at least
clerk and a messenger-Boston Post.

A short distance from the shore is
a steep precipice under the water. It
was over this declivity that the ship
Slid when her commander tried to
beach her.
Hawsers had been sent to land, but
the trees they were fastened to we're
uprooted when her stern dipped over
and shot below into the watery val
ley. She lies with her bow directly
against this rocky wall.
In various parts of this country, in
museums, are numbers of water-worn
relics taken from the wreck. Several
rust-pitted cannon are in the Central
park museum, New York.
A bronze gun sent up by divers was
purchased by the British government
for $1,000. 1t is said that one day a:
diver brought up a brass box, all
green and moldy, which contain
ed pearls and jewelry of great
value, that it was laid on the deck of
the treasure hunting vessel and mys-
teriously disappeared.
Many pieces of silver table service
were found, the ships bell, scattered
coins, platters, bits of bottery. etc.,
but the money boxes with the mill
lions still remain to entice others to
blast and dig. .~~ i. .~.@.T<

live. 1t is said they invariably make
away with a cripple, on the theory
that he is taking the place in the
world of a better Chinaman. This
old fellow at Quesnelle was working
in mine some years ago, when he
was blown up in an explosion of
dynamite. One leg and one arm were
so badly mangled that they we're am
putated. Knowing the popularity of
the Chinese, and liking the old fel-
low, the whites of the town served
notice on the Chinese colony that
if the man was mOlested in the slight
est there would be general running
n,1t fall -tho-Gh hinoso ia tho eorap.
Then the whites took the man under
their protection and started him in
the water business. He seems afraid
to go near his own people, and con-
sorts entirely with the whites.
Last winter he accidentally fell
into the river through the thin ice
and came near drowning. The whites
heard his cries, formed a rescue party
and saved their waterworks. When 4
left there the old cripple was still
doing business, healthy and happy"

The Soul'S One Hour

All day I have toiled in that busy mill
Where souls are ground and money is
made;
All day. till my temples throb and thrill
With the whirring grind of the wheels
of trade.
All day have gripped the trenchant
And grappled with columns black and
grim;
Till Tonight am faint and my senses
reel,
And the glory of God seems far and
dim.
And SO I have come to this quiet room
To sit in the dark and touch the keys
To wake the ghost and the lost perfume
OF the SOULS dead flowers with my har-
monies.
And here, alone, for single hour
can dream and idle and drift away.
I can touch the ghost of a passion
flower -: =
I can an catch the s'eam Of a vanished
can gather the lilies Of long ago

covery of the gold. He was to get
one-fourth of what he found, and Mr..
Harrington, who was then an expert
diver, was employed to search the
depths for the coin.
He had read all about how the HUI
zar looked when with the Mercury
she arrived in New York under con-
voy of several war ships. Both the
Huzzar and the Mercury were we'll
provided with offensive and defensive
weapons, but Paul Jones was abroad
OH the seas at that time, apd strong
convoy was thought to be an absolute
necessity.
The Huzzar was 206 feet in length.
Her beam measurement was So feet
and she carried % guns.
On the arrival of the fleet the treas
ure on board the Mercury was re-
moved to the Huzzar, the whole of
the money being intrusted to that
ship. With it she started for New
London, then the British rendezvous.
Instead of taking the safer, though
longer, route to the south of Long
Island, she essayed the northern one,
and incurred the peril of He'll Gate:>
Nov. rs, two days after her arrival
in port, she attempted the then ,ln-
canny passage after taking on board
from one of the British prison ships
seventy American prisoners of war.
Whether they were to be exchanged,
for British prisoners held by the
Americans or merely transferred:

from one place of confinement to
another is not known. The prisoners,
heavily ironed, were secured en- the
gun deck of the Huzzar, and were not
released when she was sinking.
When almost through the turmoil
OF waters the treasureship struck
heavily and began to fill. All attempts
to stop the leak were unavailing.
Ihree-quarters of a mile from where
She struck an attempt was made to
beach heE. but she again struck and
disappeared in ninety feet of water.
= When Mr. Harrington, with other
divers, went down in quest of the
,Huzzar's hoard of golden guineas all
that remained of the wreck was thick
lN veneered with greenish weed, slip
perry to the touch. Her open ports
gaped like socketless eyes,, drift sand
had piled about her, the places of her
masts were marked by jagged,
spongy stumps, and the gnawing cur
rent had stripped her to skeleton
appearance.
The first sight of her down in the
murky depths, gave him the creeps.
Her guns, which had done hard and
frequent service against the French,
had slipped down through the decks
to the heap Of gold, bones, manacles,
round shot and rubbish below
I. Divers Jared her old bones with
blasts, picked over the aroused re-
mains, delved here and there for
many months, but the mighty cur
rents had thrown insurmountable OBJ
stNcles in their way.

recovered from the British ship HUI

He'll Gate, New York, with $4;800,0O0
in gold and silver sent to this coun-
try from England for the payment OF
King Georges army
Many attempts have been made to
boxes in the ships hold, the first in
1894 by the British government.
Two brigs arrived at Port Norris,
where the Huzzar disappeared and at
tempted to raise her by means of
grapples. The expedition labored for
two seasons, and was then ordered
off by the American government,
upon whose rights it was encroaching.
Another attempt was made by an
English company in 1919. Work was
prosecuted with the use of the diving
bell, but the powerful currents were
SO strong that the undertaking was
soon abandoned.
Subsequent to this, the vast prom
ise tempted several other companies
to undertake the recovery of the
guineas, one of which employed Mr..
George w. Harrington of Wakefield,
Mass.

Jap Barber Is Astounded.

: A Japanese barber was shaving a
customer who expressed belief in
possibility of Japanese defeat by the
Russians. The barber was so startled
and shocked that he inflicted a severe
cash on the face of his customer, who
had him arrested. But the barber
was honorably acquitted, not without
a hint from the court that, even had
the cash been Intentional, it was not
more than the circumstances required.
and was possibly a meritorious action.
