cozY HOME FOR TRAMPs.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans . Comfortable Refuge for
 the Aged.

Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest tramp in America. who several years ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoriai in New York, at the expense of western rail- road magnate. as result of wager that Hans could not walk from Tacoma to Panama in eight months. is to build a home for aged tramps. Hans recent ly received $25,000 by the.will of rel ative who died in Sweden, and the money is now said to be drawing interest in New York bank.
 Hans recently disclosed his intention to his friend, Peter Johnson. of Wor- cester, Mass. The other day Johnson was in New York, and. while talking about Hans project, said:
 Tt sounds like the dream of crazy man. but Hans declares that he will build the tramps' home with his money. He says that he will build his home somewhere in New England. asked aim why be didn't take his money and settle down and he said it Is much more fun to be tramp.
 He said that the only thing he wanted to get out of his money is home to live in when he gets too old to catch freights. so long as he had to build himself oma he declared that he might as we'll build one large enough for 25 or 30 of his friends. He told me that he knew $, 900 tramps on the road in the United States. Some of these friends of his. he ex. plained, are getting old and stin and cannot tramp much longer.
 "He plans to put all of his money in this home for his friends. After it is built, he argues that by a little work, such as broom making or mending chairs or something of that kind, the 25 tramps who reside within can pay running ex- penses. When asked him how soon he Is going to build this home he said that he is looking for a suitable place. and that as soon as he finds one he will take his money out of the bank and build"

Pure breathing air can now be main tained in small closed space by the use of machinery. The device consists of a distributor, which, by the action of clockwork, drops sodium peroxide into water at regular intervals, a cubical steel box and a ventilating fan.

MARK HANNA's coDRTsHlP
How, When a Young Grocer, He Wooed and Won the Daughter
 of Daniel Rhodes.

Nearly 38 years ago Mark Hanna was just starting on his business ca reer as a grocer in Cleveland. He was poor. plodding. and to the casual observer a very everyday sort of young man, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Daniel Rhodes was one of the rich coal owners of the state. He had one daughter, Gussie, the very idol of his

 pened. Gussie Rhodes met and loved the obscure, poor young man. Mark Hanna. Mr. Rhodes was astounded when the daring young grocer called upon him and asked for the hand of his daughter. He refused absolutely to grant the young suitor even time enough to beg. He said mo" curtly and sharply, and when he saw his daughter he tried to scold her. but in. stead he took her in his honest arms and begged her not to think of 'this unknown man. Hanna" He said hs never, never could consent to such . choice for his child.
 Gussie Rhodes told her father. with many reassuring embrace. that she would never marry without his con sent, and she added: "But, papa dear. I shall never marry any man but Mark Hanna"
 Then she promised her father not to see her lover or write to him for . year at least. She kept her promise. and in the course of a few weeks, al- though she never audtbly murmured, and was sweetly gentle and loving to all about her. she grew pale and wan. She neither ate no slept. The old fa' ther was at his wits end. Some one proposed foreign tour for that change of scene which Is supposed to work wonders in heart affections, and. presto at few hours notice, father. mother and daughter were on board an Atlantic liner.
 For nearly year the change of scene" prescription was faithfully pur- sued and the patient. always cheerfully su submissive, gentle and charming, ob viously grew Trailer day by day. AL most in despair the old man brought his child home again and one morn ing he gathered the courage to ask her if she till cared for Mark Hanna.
 ''Why, father" she replied. "I shall -lways love Mark; I told you that. you know. a year ago."
 Poor old "Uncle Dan" Rhodes! That was bitter day for him, but he was equal to the occasion Sending for ths obscure young man, he said to him:
 "Mr. Hanna. Gussie loves you. that is my only reason for accepting you as her future husband. You are poor. I'll dx it so Gussie can live as she has been accustomed to and I suppose must see you marry her"
 Now the coming young man cast over 50 slight shadow of his future great ness on the opportunity of the present.
 MT. Rhodes said he, q most grate- fu:::y accept the gift of your daughters love. To marry her Is for this world to become paradise forAme. but cannot make her my wife unless she will be content to live as my means will enable us. I can neither accept aid nor per- init my wife to accept it from any one"
 So Mark Hauna and Gussie Rhodes were married, ana the bride went from her fathers big house to live in g tiny little cottage, Where with one maid of all work, she was as happy as queen for some years.

A RECORD HAND.sAAkINo.

At the New Years reception at the
White House President Roosevelt
shook hands with 1887 persons. The
reception lasted three hours and TWEEN
ty-seyen minutes. Assuming that the
greetings proceeded at regular rate,
each hand-shake occupied one and a

sorld's record for steady and rapid
hand shaking.
Mr. Roosevelt shakes hands hear
n.y. and on the average his hand
moves thirty-nine inches 10 every
hand shake. AT the New Years re
ception his hand travelled over five

Buried Treasure.

A correspondent OF the London Times,
in a letter from Rome, gives some details
OF the latest scheme that has been
preached for the complete excavation
OF Hereulaneum The proposition Is
that this vast work shall be carried out
by the cooperation Of Italy with all civ
itized countries, and that there SHAH
be q central managing committee IN
Rome, with national committees else
where. The scheme, it is said. meets
with the full support of the Italian gov
eminent, and is one which Dr. Charles
Waldstein has advocated for some time
past. He and Mr. Shoobridge are re-
ported TO be doing their best to put II
into execution. AS is generally known,
Herculaneum gives promise Of beinG
a richer field of excavation even than
Pompeii or any other ancient site. Since
the first excavations of the theater TO
depth of n metres below the surface
In 1898, only partial excavations have
been nade-t-in 1928, 1887 1858, 1869 and
1876. All these wereu upon a very small
and tentative scale. Owing to thefaet
that the town of Resipa covers the site,
and other great natural difficulties, no
excavation ON a largeor comprehensive
scale has ever been attempted. These
difficulties, the correspondent declares,
upon what he believes to be Qood. au-
thority. have now been overcome; and
he Is informed that there is good rea.
son to hope that satisfactory arrange
ments Tor defraying the heavy cost wit
soon be made.
