HOME OF RECLUSE
A TREASURE HOUSE

Somerville, Oct. 11:-When Miss Aliene
Lord, a recluse died a month ago she
left an estate valued at $50, 600 to charity
and disinherited her relatives.
No one was allowed to enter her house
until after her death, when 1t was found
to be a storehouse of treasures. 1t was
thrown open today and was visited by
hundreds of t~ownspeople and art collec-
tors from New York City. -
Arranged in a room ON the lower floor
under a guard of police was a show case
which contained hundreds of gold rings,
several gold watches, a large collection of
diamonds and a great variety of
jewelled pins and bracelets. Piled almost
to the ceiling in another room were rolls
of costly silks, laces and dress goods,
while hung about the rooms were costly
furs and lace shawls. One of the shawls
is valued at more than one thousand dol
lars. There was a collection of one
hundred pair of new kid gloves.
Hugh X. CASTOR, the executor, will of
fer the entire collection at public auction
tomorrow. Porter Lord, a half brother
of Miss Aliene Lord, is contesting the
will.

In the United States it Is common to
say that you don't give a tinker's dam"
for something or other. Our English
cousins, in similar circumstances, say
"a twopenny dam" Each of these APP
parent oaths is harmless aud maybe
used in polite society without a qualm.
Rear Admiral Casey, noticing a look of
surprise on the face of d friend when he
said "tinker's DAM" observed: 81
guess you think I'm swearing, but Pm
not. A dam is a c~ontrivance rasorted to
by all thinkers in their work" Tha
phrase 'twopenny dam" was hrst used
by the great duke of Wellington. His
administration Of the British army was
attacked, and he astonished the house
of lords by replying:
az don't care, and the British army
don't care a twopenny dam for any Of
