Writes Without Hands. ;

One of the most remarkable per-
sonages in Pennsylvania is Abraham
B. Myers. With only stumps OF
arms he writes a very legible hand,
holding the pen between the stumps
of his arms, without artificial as
sistance. He is a marksman of no
mean ability and pulls the trigger
by means of twine, the end OF
which he grips in his teeth. He
plays pool and billiards and even
rides horseback.

BAsHFUL HAWTHORNE.
The Great Author Avoided Company
and Loved Seclusion.

The Great Author Atoioeo company
and Loved seclusion.
The habit of seclusion was dis
tinct trait in the family of Nathan
iel Hawthorne. One person, howev-
er, writes Mrs. Davis in "Bits OF
Gossip" had no mind to encourage
this habit in the great novelist. This
was Miss Elizabeth Peabody, Mrs.
Hawthorne's sister. It was her mis-
sion, she felt, to bring the great nov
elist out from solitudes where he
walked apart to the broad ways OF
common sense. Mrs. Davis happen
ed to be present at her grand and
last coup to this end and describes
it as follows:
One evening / was with Mrs.
Hawthorne in the little parlor in
Concord when the children brought
in their father. Suddenly Miss Pea
body appeared in the doorway. She
lighted the lamp, went out and
brought in more lamps and then sat
down and waited, with an air of
stern resolution.
Presently Mr. Emerson and his
daughter appeared, then Louisa Al
colt and her father, then two gray
old clergymen, who were formally
presented to Mr.. Hawthorne, who
now looked about him with terrified
dismay. We saw other figures ap-
preaching in the road outside.
"What does this mean, Eliza
beth % Mrs. Hawthorne asked in an
aside.
81 did it. went around and ask
ed few people in to meet our friend
here. I ordered some cake and lem
onade too"
Her blue eyes glittered with tri-
umph as Mrs. Hawthorne turned
away. ''They've been here two
years." she whispered, 'and nobody
has met Mr.. Hawthorne. People
talk. It's ridiculous! There's no
reason why Sophia should not go
into society, so l just made an ex-
cuse of your visit to bring them IN !,
The little room was quite full
when there rustled in woman who
came straight to Mr.. Hawthorne.
I never heard her name, but | knew
her at sight as the intelligent ques-
toner who cows you into idiocy by
her fluent cleverness.
$50 delighted to meet you at
lastp' she said, seating herself be
side him. 81 have always admired
your books, Mr.. Hawthorne. And
now / want you to tell me all about
your methods of work. | want to
hear all about it.
But at that moment his wife came
up and said that he was wanted
outside, land he escaped. A few
moments later | heard his steps on
the floor overhead and knew that he
was safe in the tower for the night.

All Wore False Hair.

One evening during a, friendly
dance and while the company was
in the midst of lively quadrille a
young gentleman O. pulled long
hair plat out of his pocket and,
holding it up, exclaimed, Whose is
this plait? At this all the ladies
present, by an involuntary impulse,
put their hands to the back of their
heads. The dodge had worked. Our
wag had found out what he wanted
to know. Paris Journal.

An Arkansas editor who read an &C

per don't pay up soon we will need
bread without darned thing on .

Saving
Money

We wish to call your atten
ton to the desirability of saving
money. John D. Rockefeller
tells us that anyone can make
money;few can safe it. 1.-THE man
who is saving money is build
ing character; he is acquiring
power. It is the man with char
acter and money who is able to
take advantage of Opportunity
when she knocks at his door.
1t is the fixed habit of saving
something, no matter how small,
that counts. Persistent saving
creates habit of life that is
fruitful in results. 1t is Russell
Sage's advice to young men to.
save twenty-five cetns out of
every dollar earned-and stick
to it. But if you can't save
twenty-five cents save ten or
five; save something anyway.
The best way to save is to
start a bank account. Moneyin
your pocket is easily spent, but
money in the bank is out of
easy reach.
Did you ever think about the
power of interest? Do you
know that 81 deposited each
month will amount to $64.72 in
five years and to $139.SO in ten
years at per cent? That So de-
posted each month will amount
to $324.8I in five years and to
$699.58 in ten years? Think it
over, remembering meanwhile
that The SAN JUAN COUNTY
BANK is well EQUIPPED to care
for its large business; that it has
established Banking by Mail
department, which it places at
your service, and thatit receives
deposits from 81 up. 1t aims to
encourage thrift, to promote the
saving habit, It would be
pleased to open an account with
you and to help you save.

The Dentist Monk and the Pope,

81 have drawn 2,000,644 teeth, y
said the dentist monk of Rome re-
Gently before his death.
No charge was made, and the
priest worked in the open air in the
garden of his monastery, and used
no instruments but his thumb and
forefnger. Leo XIII. was one of
his clients, and Pope Piux TX. said
to him once:
"Dear brother, I should like very
much to have tooth pulled byyou."

''But it is impossible"
ooh. Why?" said the monk.

ANACORTES AND ISLAND TRADE

The Anacortes American says
that "The residents of the adjacent
islands are anxious to do business
in Anacortes, if the proper steam
boat facilities can be provided at
reasonable freight aud passenger
rates" Elsewhere in the same IS
sue the paper says: at is to be
regretted that the people OF Ana
cortes do not give daily steam
boat running between this place
and Friday Harbor more substan-
tial encouragement. A boat con-
tinuously on this run would be the
means Of bringing an immense
amount of trade to this place."
1t might be interesting to know
lust what sort of steamboat facili-
ties the American deems necess-
ary to secure for Anacortes this
"immense amount of trade" For
many years there has been a very
good ri-weekly steamboat service
between nearly all island points
and Anacortes and the boat seized
ule has been more favorable to
trading there than at Bellingham
or Seattle. In addition to that a
daily boat service, established es-
pecially in the interest of Anacor-
tes merchants and intended to sup
ply an Imaginary "long felt want"
has lately had trial of some weeks
with little or no support from the
men who were presumed to benefit
most from it. According to the
leading merchant of Anacortes
who is a newcomer, there is only
one place in the town where goods
can be bought at anything like rea-
sonable prices, that place being his
own store. In one Of his adver-
tisements as recently as two months
ago he said that Small, in
complete stocks of dry goods and
clothing, scant accommodations
and courtesies and outrageously
high prices for inferior merchan,
disc" had ruled in Anacortes pre-.
vious to his advent in the trade
arena there. These conditions dc
not constitute the sort of BAIT nee.
essary to catch the "island trade
The fact of the matter is that Sar
Juan people are very we'll satisfied
with their home merchants and
that it is likely to be many moons
before the demands of trade will
call for any better steamboat facil.

Discussing the question of the COS t
of making each 100 pounds OF meat on
steer, an eastern paper remarks
that it was shown at one of the Chi
cago fat stock shows that it cost 81. 03
for 100 TBS. of gain with steers up to
twelve months; 1913 between twelve
and twenty-four months ard sl2.54
between twenty-four and thirty-six.
Other statistics show wide range
in the feed requirements, and it is
concluded that in general about | ,OCO
pounds of grain will be required for 100
Tbs. of gain with well fattened steers
on the average, besides 500 pounds
of coarse food in the shape of hay,

On Judge Harrison's Corrupt Prac-
 tices Act.
 Hartford, Feb. 2S-Before the judi ciary committee this afternoon, ,ex- Judge Lynde Harrison of New Haven and F. W. Orr, also of that city, ap. peared in support of a corrupt practices bill drawn by Judge Harrison The hearing was special one held at the request of Judge Harrison, who will leave tomorrow for prolonged trip in the south. .E- ,.--.-.
 Judge Harrison said the measure was copied to a large extent after the Eng fish law of 1884 although on. more lib- eral lines. It provides that the chair man of each political party shall ap- point an agent for each town and vot- ing district who shall receive all polit- ieal contributions and pay all election expenses and file within ten days after election an itemized statement at the office of the secretary of state. Judge Harrison told the committee that he had drafted the bill in response to a general call for newaact to prevent corrupt practices in elections and he thought the proposed measure would have an effect like the Australian ball. lot law in the way of purifying cleo tions. As a penalty for violations of the various provisions of the act a fine not exceeding s1,OO0 or imprisonment for not more than six months is men toned. ,f
