TILTED LOVERS
WISH CAME TRUE
WANTED GIRL HE FAILED TO GET
TO BE MOTHER OF SIX
PAIRS OF TWINS.


ALLENTOWN. Pa, Aug. 29.-when
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen C. Deppe, of Hick-
DRY run, at the age of 40 years, became
the parents of twenty-three children
upon the arrival of six pairs of twins
last week, there was fulfilled an ex.
traordinary curse. A little more than
20 years ago Mrs. Deppe was Miss
Elizabeth searfass, of Albrightsville.
She was engaged to the son of a
neighboring farmer when Allen Deppe
appeared. After short acquaintance,
lasting only few weeks, Deppe and
Miss Searfass eloped and were mar
ried.
The brides parents and the neigh.
bors, with whom Deppe had made
himself popular, took the elopement
in good parts and counted 1t joke on
the other fellow. The Tilted fiance,
however, was terribly disappointed.
Instead of congratulating the bride
he uttered an imprecation, wishing
she would become the mother of the
largest family ever known, including
six pairs of twins.

Just in Time.

When the bell in the parsonage rang the other evening the clergyman was in his study and his wife was busy, sc Master Harold, aged T. went to the door, The New York Press says that on opening it he found couple evi- .dently from the country, both young and bashful.
 After looking at the boy for mo- 'ment the young man asked, "Is the pastor at home?'
 "Yes," said Harold. "Do you want ' to get married?"
 "That's just what we're here for,' replied the prospective bridegroom.
 "Well, come right in, then" said the boy, ushering them into the parlor. ''I'll tell papa, and mamma, too. She'll be awful glad to see you, for she gets all the marriage money. I heard her tell pa this morning that she hoped some folks would come soon to get married, cause she wants to buy new hat"

OZOne.

Ozone is produced in an apparatus into which atmospheric air is forced by means of an air pump. An electric alternating current of 130 volts in 3 amperes, changed through trans former to HOO volts, is then intro
 duced. Through electric discharge in the apparatus ozone is engendered. The air introduced into the apparatus is forced through a system of pipes and escapes, highly ozonized, through a pipe which conducts it to the place and the objects to be treated with ozone. Ozone, on account of its great oxydizing power, is well adapted for purifying the air of closed rooms, such as theaters, hospitals, manufacturing shops, etc., for purifying drinking water, for the purification of sewage, bleaching of leather, treating oils, etc.

She knew that it was only the strife and work that come with manhood's years that had taken some of boyhoods warm, affectionate expressions away.
 Darling little mother" I am glad I always wrote this way, and so often called her this sweet name.
 l remember once, ill playfulness, l sat foi a moment on her lap. She pulled my head down on her shoulder, and stroked my hair, and heard her say in a whisper, My darling boy" and when looked up there were tears in her eyes, They were happy tears of memory. To mother we are only boys her boys. She never forgets, and she longs to hear the old, sweet words we used to say to her.

What Coin Loses by Abrasion.

It is well known that coin in circu- lation loses weight by abrasion, but an additional loss results from the same cause in shipment to Europe. An in- stance has been cited in Wall street circles where as much as one thirty second per cent has been lost through abrasion alone in shipping gold coin, which would be at the rate of more than $500 in shipment of $1,O0O,000.

5HOW ROOSEVELT BROUGHT ORDER. {

>>%~~>>>>-~><~>~-~>>|~>>
 When President Roosevelt was 26 years old he went West to hunt buff falo, and stayed to run cattle ranch in the Bad Lands" of Dakota. His enterprise and his success were viewed with alarm by some of the old set tiers of the Little Missouri, a hard drinking, worthless lot, who lived by less honorable pursuits. It is safe to assert says Harper's Weekly, that no finer set of ruflians ever went ull- hanged. Their protests finally devcl- oped into downright lawlessness as they saw cattle raising becoming more popular and game driven farther and farther away.
 No property was safe from them. Ponies were stolen, cattle were run off or killed, and it became necessary for the ranch owners to organize for mu- tual protection. Accordingly, less than half a score of quiet, determined men met in a little frame shanty on the east side of the river where Medora now stands.
 It was openly hinted that certain deputy sheriff was in collision with the outlaws. He and a number of his friends were present at the meeting as cheering spectators.
 After few preliminaries the meet ing organized the Little Missouri Stock Association" and chose young Mir. Roosevelt for president. He rose at once and addressed the meetingr or, rather, he addressed the deputy sheriff.
 It is one thing to deliver a fiery ac. cusation on general charges before q crowded meeting of law-abiding citi- zens. It is quite another to stand coolly before a handful of frontiers men, and openly accuse one of them of dishonesty. Death stares a man in the face who attempts it; for these men, bred in isolation, are sensitive to the quick of their personal honor, and fiercely resent any attack on it. Yet MT. Roosevelt made his attack, while his friends and enemies stood or sat silent.
 Facing the deputy sheriff, he charged him with incompetence and dishonesty. He made his charges spe- cific, and in the manner which has since become famous enlarged upon his contempt for a man who would perjure himself and debase his office as the deputy had done. With the light from the pearl handle of the officers revolver reflected to his eye glasses, he showed no fear. The dep uty stood as silent as the rest of the audience, his head bowed, his nerve broken by the onslaught. He had lost his prestige, and he never regained it.
