obid Simpson Dead.

Obid Simson, who has been i'll
FOR some time past, died Friday at
his home in Richland township,
Delaware county. The burial ser
vices and interment occurred Satur-
day at the cemetery near the church
at Pleasant Valley. Mr.. Simpson
was about 65 years of age, as nearly
as could be learned by those who
took charge of the remains and gave
them christian burial.
The circumstances surrounding
the death and burial of the man
were strange and pathetic. While
having sufficient means to properly
sustain himself and sisters living
with him, the three lived in sur
roundings which suggested the
most abject poverty and an almost
absolute lack of sanitary cleanliness.
When Mr.. Simpson was seen to be
approaching the end, his sisters,
aged 60 and so respectively, retreat
ed to corn.crib on the place and
refused to go near his bedside.
When death finally came, about sun
down Friday, they still refused to
see him. Friday night the house
was closed and the body remained
there unattended. Saturday morn
ing when those who took charge of
the body desired clothing with
which to prepare the deceased for
burial, one of the sisters was finally
induced to enter the house by a
window and get the clothing after
which she again retreated to the
corn-crib. They even refused to at
tend his burial and only returned to
the house after the funeral Saturday.
All efforts to learn something Of
the age and past life of the deceased
from his sisters proved futile. Be-
fore death he refused to give his age
and this could only be Appropriated
from what neighbors had gathered.
The state furnishes blanks which
are required to be filled out, report
ing every death and the age, birth
place and parentage of the deceased
but in this case no such information
was forthcoming. Strawberry Point

saaaeity of Blind Horses.

The way in which blind horses can
go about without getting into more
difficulties than they ordinarily do is
very remarkable. They rarely, If ever,
hit their heads against fence or stone
wall They will slide off when they
come near one. 1t appears from care
full observation that 1t is neither shade
nor shelter which warns them Of the
danger On an absolutely sunless and
MINDLESS day their behavior is the
same. Their olfactory nerves doubt
less become very sensitive. for, when
driving them. they will poke their
heads downward In search OF water
fifty yards before they come to n
stream crossing the roadway. 1t can
not be an abnormally developed sense
of hearing which lends them to do this
for they will act alike though the wa
ter be II stagnant pool. Men who have
been blind for any great length Of time
develop somewhat similar instincts to
blind horses.

Ho Had the Most-perhap.


A comic actor who had been engaged
to entertain family party proposed at
the conclusion of the performance u
little game of his own. Each of the
company, himself included. was to
stake half n crown, and the pool would
be taken by the person who possessed
the most of the articles which he (the
comedian) would inquire for. On his
assurance that he would take no mean
advantage, but run the same risk as
the rest, all the members of the party
consented, and between f3 and "a was
soon laid on the table. The actor add
ed his piece to the pool, with n cum
ming smile, and then said:
Nov, which of you ladies and gen
tlemen happen to have the greatest
number of false teeth?"
Deathlike silence reigned for about a
minute, then a burst of laughter, both
hearty and in some cases forced.
Il have three" continued the actor.
''Who has got more?"

Troubles of a Telephone Lineman.

Lamont Leader: The vexation
and annoyance of telephone line
man when hurry up-call comes
over the phone to come at once to re-
pair phone, to find on his arrival
that the trouble was one of such ma
ture as to be ridiculous, is told by
Bert Mullen, who does the repair
stunt on the lines for the Delaware
County company, in an amusing
incident that happened not many
miles from Manchester. A phone
had gone wrong on one of the
country lines few miles out of
town and the owner was in frenzy
because he had threshers and
couldn't talk word over the phone
A team was hitched and Charley
Peterson and Brock" Mullen as he
is known by the telephone boys,
drove out to the farm and stepped
in to look over that terrible phone.
AT the top of every instrument is
two little metallic knobs that if a
metal of any kind is laid across
them it makes a short circuit and
not a word can be heard.
There was a merry twinkle in
Charley Peterson's eye as he looked
the unruly talking machine over. 1t
was short circuited by corkscrew
that was laid up where it could be
handy. The irate farmer was called
in and shown the cause for all his
wrath, when he offered to pay for
the team and all expenses Of the
