ALLEN

Jacob Van Girten had been known
as miser for thirty years. and at his
death people looked for large sum OF
money to turn up. Jake, as he was
always referred to, lived on farm
about three miles from the village Of
CASTLE 1t was farm of eighty acres.
from an acre or two of corn and pota-
toes for his own use, he planted moth
ing. lie began with n little money.
and in the course OF fifteen years he
was the capitalist of the county. III
anybody was willing to pay his usuri-
Gus rates of interest, lie could borrow
from 50 to $4,000 without trouble. For
many years he did business with the
bank in the village, but finally became
suspicious and took care Of his own
funds.
1t finally became n matter of gossip
for leagues around that Allscr Van
Girten kept thousands of dollars In his
old farmhouse, and for once gossip
was right. or course there were men
who told him of the risks lie ran and
advised him against it, but he smiled
at their solicitude and made no change.
1t was predicted that robbers would
come and that he would be found muir
dered And in due time robbers came.
They came more than once, and they
tried several sorts of tricks on the old
man. The first pair of robbers simply
kicked the old door open in the dark
ness of midnight and rushed in to
catch the miser in bed. He wasn't in
bed, however. He was up and dressed
and armed with shotgun. and he pep
pered the fellows 50 thoroughly that
there was no trouble in arrestng them
when the constable was notified.
The next man who came along was
in The guise of an old woman. He
made call just at dark, hobbling on
cane and telling a story of want and
destitution, but when he got ready to
take the old man by the neck Jake
wasn't there. He lodged him and got
hold of that old shotgun and gave the
stranger a dose that kept him in the
hospital for four months before he
could be taken to Jail to await arraign-
ment.
When the miser had reached what
might be called old age. the authorities
of the county insisted that lie take bet
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1906-05-03

ter steps to protect himself. While
they could not legally compel him to
do anything. the case was put to him
so strongly that he finally consented to
pay sturdy young man small sum
weekly for sleeping in the house with
him at night and acting as Il guard and
defender. This service continued for
two years, and then the end came. The
guard was not there in the daytime,
and one evening when lie made his APP
pearance at the usual hour he found
the old man dead III his rocking chair.
He seemed to have passed away while
sleeping.
The proper authorities were notified
at once and took charge, and the Curl
osity of whole county was excited
over the question OF how much money
would be found in the house. When it
came to that. the guard, whose name
was Henry Davis and who was known
to be honest and truthful, stated that
during the two years he had been there
he had not seen the old man handle
more than $40 in cash. He knew that
In that time he had loaned and receiv-
ed thousands, but where he kept his
hoard was a matter that could not even
be fathomed. All money transactions
had been made in the daytime, when
the young man was absent,
People who borrowed and repaid had
always to give two hours notice. They
then found the old man ready TO lend
or receive, 1t was judged from this
rule of his that he wanted time to dig
his money up or TO produce 1t from
some secret hiding place outside the
house. This theory, which seemed quite
plausible. led to some funny results.
Every farmer for two miles around be-
gan searching his barn and sheds,
thinking they might have been made
the depository, and scores of men look
ed for hollow trees and stumps and
went digging in what they thought
were likely places.
In the meantime the old house was
submitted TO the most careful and
thorough search. 1t was cottage,
with parlOr, bedroom aud Kitchen be-
low and a half garret upstairs. The
miser occupied the bedroom and the
guard the parlor, both sleeping on the
floor on straw beds. The kitchen was
furnished with an old rusty stove and
meager supply OF dishes, and Jake
cooked what he ate.
Beginning at the cellar bottom, the
searchers worked up. The bottom OF
the cellar was dug over TO depth of
two feet, but nothing was found. Then
the baseboards were torn OFF the rooms
above, the walls pierced here and these,
and before tho search ceased the very
shingles were taken from the roof.

ters--Genera Suspension of Work
Probable Throughout France.
Paris, April .1.--The people OF
France have been wrought up to n
state OF apprehension concerning the
imminince OF q crisis May I, when ell
ranks of labor will make n gigantic
eight-hour demonstration. 1t is feared
lawless elements may get the upper
lawless element may get the upper
hanG and this inspires the public with
feeling OF terror bordering on panic.
Some Of the newspapers freely assert
that the movement is the prelude OF a
revolution in which the proletariat in
tends to overthrow the existing
regime. Some of the reports picture
the business and residential parts OF
Paris about to be sacked, the streets
barricaded, and, in brief, veritabe
renewal OF the commune,
The actual state of the labor agita-
tion is as follows: About 10000 min
ers in the north are still on strike and
frequent atfrays take place, but the
presence there of $4,000 troops and
wholesale arrests of the ring leaders
have measurably restored calm. In
nf "a hn tue
and glass workers of Denain are on
strike, but most of them resumed work
today, owing to the stern repression
of the authorities. In Brest all
branches of labor have voted for a
general strike similar to the general
strike at Lorient and at many other
points. In Paris the striking postmen
have resumed work, but 1000 book
printers, 5000 employees of the iewelry
trades and 1000 persons employed in
the paper trades are still out. These
strikes, however, have not been accom-
panied by rioting. This is precursor
of the national labor movement to be
lnaugurated May |, when ii is expected
that the entire proetariat will quit
for day and perhaps for longer per
iod of time. The masons and many
other branches of labor decided today
to quit from May to May - without
violence. Employees OF grocers, dairy
men, butchers and bakers and all pur-
veyors of food supplies as well as
hotel servants give promise of Il de-
cision for similar cessation of work.
In the meantime the government aD-
pears to have awakened to the neces-
sity of stern measures. This is indi-
Gated by the assembling of troops.
Sixty thousand soldiers will bt. on duty

cation announces that The ministers

The influential bourgeoisie classes
demand of the ministry the sternest
repression, while the equally infuen-
tidl socialist element demands that
there be no interference with the right
to strike or with eight-hour demon
strations The Humanite and other
Socialist organs declare that the terror

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Expert Instructions From the Head of

"Here," said Mr.. Tellitt when his
wife was trying to insert the point
of the scissors in the tight wrapper
Of a rolled magazine that had just

that's no way to open that wrapper.

done, and aftee this you will have

paper was tough, and the scissors
slipped out after going about an
inch. lie tried it again, with no
better luck. Mrs. Tellitt looked on
with a well-why-don't-you-do-it ex-
preston, and Mr.. Tellitt jabbed and
jammed with the scissors, bringing
away little scraps of the wrapper un-
til finally he grew angry and stab
bed the magazine with the weapon
until he got one end free of the
wrapper; then he seized the free
leaves with both hands and ripped
and tore the thing from the wrap

"There," he growled, handing his
wife the fragments of the periodical;
"there, if you had handed it to me in

why the Jew ExceIs.

In almost every field OF human en-
deayor the Jew eXcels. There is phil
osophic reason for this which has no re-
lation to essential superiority. The Jew
is thorough. lie is so rs Il result OF
long necessity. The world has vainly
sought to deprive him of the means Of
existence. He was quick TO understand
that with merely equal merit he could
not hope for an even chance. He per
ceived that his only promise of survival
under the handicap of race lay in SUI
perior qualifications. He applied him
self. He learned to master difficulties
and surmount obstacles. Discounted
by prejudice, he realized that his work
must carry premium of value in or
der to reach parity in the open market
AS the problem grew more difficult his
capacities increased proporhonately
for nature responds unfailingly to ev-
cry demand OF necessity. Walter Hurt
