CINDERELLA TRIES POISON.
Girl Forced to Stay at Home While
Sisters Enjoyed Pleasures
Would Die

New York.-Because her elder sisters
could go to dances and theaters while
she was forced to stay, Cindarela-like, at
home at night after working to help sup
port the family by day, pretty little Pau
line Katz is years Of age, living on Sec
ond avenue, attempted to commit sui
eide by swallowing wood alcohol.
Prompt work by an ambulance sur
geon saved the girls life, but after be-
ing saved she sobbed that she wished to
die, and threatened to attempt her life
again if she had the opportunity.
For weeks Pauline has brooded over
her lot in the long evening when she
stayed at home after hard days of toll as
a buttonhole operator in a downtown
clothing factory. She worked at the ma
chine all day, and on Saturday turned
in her wages to help run the home.
She longed for the pleasures Of life,
but her parents told her she was too
young. and forbade her going to dances
or theaters or receiving the attentions of
young men.

Armless Girl Plays Ball.

Fourteen year-old Mary Ada Hen
bricks. who lives at Ansel Wayne
county, KY, was born without arms,
but she does not allow that infrmity
to stand in her way Of enjoying life.
She plays many musical instruments
with her toes, and is particularly ex-
pert with the banjo and guitar. By
placing a stool above the keys of a
piano she can play several pieces in
a creditable manner. She also manip-
ulates an accordion, and she can get
more music out of one of those in
struments than the ordinary person
in full possession of arms and hands.
She can catch a rock between her toes
and throw it, and almost any bright
afternoon she may be seen playing
baseball much better than the average
boy.

BEAR LIVES IN HERMIT HUT
Administrator Unaware Of Grizzly's
Presence Until Knocked Through
the Entrance.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Near the old San
Gabriel mission, within nine miles OF
this city of 100000 souls, hermit has
lived for many years in little adobe
hut. He died and was buried. Not hav-
ing any known relatives, Deputy Admin
istrator Petermichel went out to the
shack to take charge of the old mans
effects.
In the 40 years that Senior Don occu-
pied the adobe, no living soul, save him
self, had crossed its threshold. AS the
hermit died suddenly away from the
shack the deputy was the first one to
break the solitude Of the dwelling. When
he pushed open the door it was so dark
inside that objects were not distinguish
able, so he stepped inside. Then he was
confronted by grizzly bear which rose
to his hind feet and with blow Of his
paw sent the deputy flying through the
door. The deputy did not stop to in
ventory the property, but took to his
heels. The bear followed him out Of the
shack and then struck out in the direc-
ton of the mountains. 1t is thought
that bruin found the door Of the shack
open and entered, and that the door
then got pushed shut by the bear, max
ing him prisoner.
