Reople who Vanish.

Among the periodic waves which
strike our great centers there is
none so strange as that of mysteri-
Gus disappearances. Such a wave
selects its victims from all classes,
ages. Men. women and children are
impartially its prey. Sometimes the
absentees return in a dazed condi-
ton unable to tell Of their where
abopts. Others present a mystery
darker stll,. for they mover return
and are no more heard Of. Foul
play, a crazed fever for wandering,
premeditated fight, are called to ac-
count as causes, but some of these
mysteries have neither apparent
cause nor end. 1t is a queer and
weird feature of our modern life
that these mysterious disappear
ances can so easily take place and

A VILLAGE AUTOCRAT.
The Way He RuTsd the Church Of
Which He Was Sexton

Which He Was Sexton.
Some half a century or SO ago
William Towne was sexton Of a
church in the old town Of Charlton,
Mass. He had a Just appreciation
of the dignity of his position, and so
powerful was his personality that
the people generally took him as
seriously as he took himself.
Ills rule was more rigid than that
of the minister, and the boy or girl
who so much as changed counte-
nance in church time felt all the
force of his indignation later. From
his position in The right hand rear
corner, under the last window on
that side, he could see everything
that happened, and even the elders
Of the congregation sat under pen
atty of reprimand or election.
In those days, the Springfield Re
publican says, "Comical Brown"
used to visit Charlton every year
and give a concert. One year the
town hall had been burned, and he
had to give his entertainment in the
church of which Towne was sexton.
The church was crowded, and the
humorist tried to be funny, but in
vain. lie sang his songs and made
his Jokes. Nobody smiled. Nobody
laughed. He could not understand
it at an, for he did not see William
Towne at his post in the rear, with
his elbow resting on the window
sill and his eyes looking sternly
around.
After the entertainment the sex
ton said to the humorist: "You
must come again. You tickled 'em
all into kinks"
"Come again ?" said Brown, in as
tonishment. Il guess mott Once
will do for me. ] didn't see any
body smile or laugh or even ap-
plaud."
Applaud Laughp' said Towne.
I'D ike to see 'eml I'd throw 'em
outdoors. I've been sexton of this
church nigh on to thirty years, and
they've never done it yeti"

Tho SOFT Answer.

MADAM" said the tramp as a
middle aged woman came to the
door in answer to his knock, would
you give a poor man a bite to eat?"
"Why," she replied, ''you are GER
tainly able to earn a living. You
don't look very old"
"Looks are often very deceitful,
lady," answered the hungry hobo.
"Why, I'm old enough to be your
grandfather. "
And moment later he had Ms
feet under the kitchen table, and
nothing she had in the pantry was
too good for him.

Fort Hunt, Va. June 1.-THE first
gun in defense of Washington was
fired by one Of he eight-inch batteries
OF Fort Hunt last night The target
was one of the units OF Admiral Dick
ins' squadron, which appeared to be Of
the cruiser type. She had just rounded
Marshalls Point, about three miles be-
low the fort. proceeding slowly up the
river That she was an enemy" was
indicated by a signal from one Of the
forts 60-inch searchlights. After the
initial firing the shooting became gem
eral and was taken up by Fort Wash
ington's 12-inch batteries. Not a re-
ply came from the warship, and when
the required number of shots from the
forts had been fired to constructively
put the ship out of action the firing
ceased.
Later three of Admiral Diclins' tor
pedo boats rounded Marshalrs Point
and made a dash for the mine fields.
They we're at once under the fire Of
the forts
The three torpedo boats were fol-
lowed in close order by four monitors
and a cruiser. The action lasted for 25
minutes, during which time a scene Of
battle was enacted that was most pic
turesque.
The torpedo boat destroyers We're
all dark, and they spit spitefully at
the lower searchlights of Fort Hunt,
and then, with constant flashes from
their sides. they rad directly between
the two fortihcation on their way to

former secretary Of the Associated
Teaming interests Of Chicago, an
nounced that he wouh go before the

ported by documentary evidence, to
show that in two years while holding
the Office of secretary OF the AssO-
ciated Teaming interests, he settled
more than 900 strikes by the use Of
money with labor omcials.
DriscolIs method. according to his
own account, was this: An employer
or an organization Of employers. who
were Affected by a strike. would call
and ask him TO use his influence to
bring about an adjustment of trouble.
and except for the organization by
whom he was employed as secretary,
he always refused a fee for his ef-
forts. The fees paid the union men
ranged from 500 to thousands of dol.
lars. the aggregate probably amount
ing to $4,000. Not one penny was
even passed through Driscoll's hands
TO bring about a strike. according TO
his own assertion.
