1t is quite true that persons possess
ing antique furniture have come TO
have an exaggerated idea of its value,
and it is daily growing more and more
difficult to pick up bargains, even In
the more remote towns of Connecti'
cut. But one New York woman Is re-
joicing in the possession of a highboy
for which she paid only 50. She has
since had an offer of $3.50 for 1t.
While autoing not far from Ridge
field, CT, recently, she stopped at
farmhouse for some water. and casual
ly inquired if the family had any an
tioue furniture to sell. The family
looked at her, not seeming to under
stand what she meant.
"Old mahogany furniture-have you
any that you would like to dispose OFF,
she repeated.
"Wall. now, there's that old chest
of drawers on the back porch-maybe
that's what youn want" and the farm
er took her out to inspect the article
In question.
1t proved to be handsome highboy
of unusual pattern and large proper
tions. 1t was battered and one leg
was broken off, but when the farmer
offered it for 50 the offer was accepted
and it was shipped to New York.
1t was renovated, rubbed down and
repaired, and to-day is the admiration
of all the woman's friends who know
the value of antique furniture.-New

of the terrible disease has set up his

Zeynella and Marcelle We're TO be her
two grown-up daughters. She pow
dered her hair to look gray, ard she
painted her face to look as old as j:
could through thick veil. And she
played her role admirably throughout
the journey from Constantinople to
Belgrade. At Mustapha Pasha, the
frontier railway station, she moved
with such dignity and spoke so caress'
ingly to the Turkish inspectors of
passports. implorlng them not to dis.
turb her two invalid daughters, who
were just then quietly sleeping. that
the poor Turks salaamed most respeca'
fully and let them pass on.
Meanwhile Noory Pasha had been in.

not returned from a drive to Their

the young women had not been re-
tained by some of them. AS they had
been the night before at Yildlz Kiosk,
where a concert had been given for the
amusement of the ladies of the I'm.
perial Harem and their friends, Noory
Pasha went himself to the Imperial
residence to inquire If his daughters
had not been kept there to another en-.
tertainment. But. no! The inquiries
at the station revealed the fact that
middle aged, gray-haired lady. with
two daughters, took a special compart'
mont in the direct carriage for Vienna.
Telegramg We're sent at once by the
Grand Viz.er to Fethi Pasha, Turkish
minister Mt Belgrade, to stop the train
and send the two sisters back TO Con.

could; but. met by the determined re-
fusal of the young women either to
return or TO wait in the Turkish Lega'

they only succeeded in inducing them
to interrupt their journey and to rest
day or two in the most comfortable
hotel in Belgrade.
Noory Pasha was Immediately in
formed where his daughters were. He
applied to the Sultan for permission
to go to fetch his daughters. 1t is said
that Abdul Hamid told him: go
and bring them back! Without them
do not return at allr' On his arrival
in Belgrade Noory Pasha had to be in
formed that his daughters had mys'
teriously disappeared. Fethi Pasha
believes that they have found secret
refuge with some Servian girl friends,

served in Constantinople. But the po'
lice agents declare that they have
evaded the watching of the detectives
by leaving the hotel dressed in mems
clothes, and that they are now prob

reports a case, killed by an irate farm

clots, but it is uncertain whether this
post-mortem condition is to be at
tributed to the effects of the disease or
the farmers club.
"Automoblliousness has been mis-
taken for delirlum tremens. but in the
latter disease, however, it is snakes
that the patient usually sees about
him and feels that he must kill, while
in automobillousness it is only men,

Women Complain Of Lack Of Coutesy,
Hostesses Of Greed
New York Herald Special Cable Service. Copy.
right 1905, by the New York Herald.
London, Jan. 20.-There are more
complaints than usual this season of
the deterioration of the men in the
hunting field, according to The By
stander.
Many hold the opinion that women
should not hunt, but others hold that
since the number Of hunting women is
increasing they should be treated to the
ordinary courtesy due. their SEX After
recent hunt with one Of the crack
packs two women complained of the
insulting language used toward them
by an irate man whose jump they had
inadvertently spoiled.
Another source Of complaint is the
manner in which hosts and hostesses,
at whose house the hounds meet, are
often treated by a certain type of hunt
ing man, a type largely on the increase,
who walks into the house, VOLTS all the
refreshments he can lay his hands upon,
helps himself literally to the cigars
and walks out again without exchang-
ing word with his host or hostess.
The complaints of bad manners are
directed chiefly against the young hunt.
ing man, fresh from college, whose
chief aim and object is to be thought
a hard rider, and to his lack of con
sideration are due many serious acct
dents in the hunting field.
