Baltimore, Md.-John Leitner; 81
years old. lineman for the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone company, has a
mania for falling asleep or telephone
poles.
Twice within AS hours Leitner has
slumbered peacefully on the top of a
pole, and in both occasions the police
have been called upon to take his sup
posed dead body from the wires.
A few minutes before 10 o'clock
the superintendent of Timanus' Mills
telephoned to the Northern police sta

pany had beer stricken by electricity
and that his body was resting on the

A moment later the Mount Vernon
Mills, the Timanus Mills and other
industries in the neighborhood were
emptied of their workmen going to
dinner; but nearly all of them halt
ed and with plying glances and hor-
ror-stricken faces leveled their eyes
upon the still figure on the top of the
pole.
The man lay perfectly still. One
leg was thrown rel a cross beam, the
other was wrapped about a cable. and
his arms were extended and partly
resting his dropping head on the beam

again.

Lock Haven Has Snakes, Toads and

Lock Haven. Pa.-The plaques seem
TO have struck the city. Some days
ago a blacksnake was discovered In
the cellar of the Cupper & Nitscha
tobacco house, on Bellefonte avenue,
but II continually eluded its would-be
slayers.
Later a b~lacksnake. supposedly the
same one, entered the rear door Of the
Louis Claster grocery. causing n hasty
retreat on the part Of the clerk. Miss
Miriam Sykes, who, as might be
imagined vas greatly frightened and
fed to the street. His snakeship vas
left in full possession for a few min
utes and was then shot.
A large blacksnake got away In the
st. Charles hotel, and was found In
the rolled curtain above tho transom
over the door. from which II was dis
lodged and killed.
After the recent rain thousands OF
tiny hoptoads appeared on the streets
and sidewalks OF the city. They we're

But a pest far more destructive Is
the cutworm. which devours vegeta-
ton. II is something over an inch in
length and as thick as a lead pencil.
The worm remains under the ground
during the daytime, working on the
roots OF the plants. and at night
forth and devours the leaves of

matoes. potatoes. and even eats holes
into small green tomatoes on the
stalks. II is also doing bad work in

HARLEM TOBACCO DEALER HAS
FIGURE OF WASHINGTON.
Colossal Wooden Likeness Of First
President Is, II Is Claimed by
the Owner, One Hundred.
Years Old.

New York.-Every now and then n
relic Of revolutionary times OF which
little has been heard comes to the pub
lie notice. In the possession of a
Harlem tobacco dealer is a colossal
wooden statue of George Washington.
The owner, Joseph Liebman, says It
is 100 years old.
In the colonial days there was n
statue OF King George in Bowling
Green park. After the struggle for
independence this statue was re-
placed by one OF George Washington.
1t was of heroic size, and according to
the information obtained by Mr.. Lieb-
man 1t was the first statue of George
Washington erected in this country.
The statue is nine feet five inches
from the base to the top and weighs
500 pounds. Gen. Washington is
wearing the continental uniform
long blue Goa with brass buttons, buff
breaches and riding boots. The right
arm is extended and the left, carrying
his hat. is resting on his hip. On the
right side is a fob and watchchain.
Mr.. Lehman has looked up the his
tory OF the statue, and he says that it
was put up in 1899. 1t stood for 43
years, when II was decided to make
some improvements in the park. The
city officials looked over the statue
and decided that 1t vas too old-fash-
toned and not dignified enough for the
city because II was Of wood. AS a
result 1t was sold at auction to a Mr..
Jacques, a collector Of things OF the
revolutionary period. He paid $3.50
for It and sent It to South Norwalk,
Conn, where 1t remained until he
died. in 1860, when It was sold again.
The purchaser this time was Antonio
Decorate, who lived in this city, but
eventually it fell into the hands of
Frank Theobold. the tobacco dealer.
Mr.. Theobold sold his business to
Mr.. Lehman, and with 1t went the
statue. Its present owner puts a high
value IN 1t. He says 1t is worth S.
000-at least he has been told that by
persons who profess to have some

knowledge OF the subject. Mr.. Lieb-
man says he has been advised by DR..
Kelley of the City History club to hold
on to the statue, as It is sure not to
d%epreciate in value from the collec.
tors standpoint.

cago worlds fair had those in charge
OF the arrangements here known OF
its existence in time to send II. At
the time Senator Depew sent a letter
saying that he did not find out about
the statue until too late to have It
shipped.
Mr.. Lehman has made many I'm.
quiries from the Sons of the Revolu.
ton and the Colonial Danes about the
statue. He is not rich, he says, and he
finds that the competition In his trade
is pretty stiff, but he intends to hold
on to the statue.

Comedy Of Errors in courtshIp Al

Williamsport, PA comedy OF
errors came near ending in a tragedy
at Montoursville. Constables Rogers
and Shirm at midnight were spooking
around the houses in search Of a
trampish-looking stranger, who they
believed was a burglar.
Edward Wadsworth, OF Galeton, a
school teacher. who had come to town
during the day, was spending the eve
ming with his sweetheart. They saw
the constables sneaking around ana
thought they were burglars.
Wadsworth said he would watch
them. He followed. The constables
saw him skipping from out OF one
dark orner into another. They
thought he was the tramp they were
looking for and gave chase.
Wadsworth took to his heels. Con.
stable Rogers fired three shots, and
Wadsworth threw up his arms, expect.

Miss Mary Matthews, Of Baker, Kan.
Ran a Rural Route.

Sabetha, Kan.-Miss Mary Mat
thews, an attractive young girl of Sa-
betha. is a rural mail route carrier
now. Miss Matthews is a daughter OF
j. p. Matthews, a rural mail carrier.
Mr.. Matthews has one OF the best ru-
raj mail carrier records for prompt
ness in the United States. For two
years he has not had a vacation. This
year he took a month on and his
daughter is delivering the mail.
Miss Matthews has hardly failed in
an instance to keep up her fathers
record for promptness. MIR. Mat
thews' mail wagon is at the appointed
house on the appointed moment. with
probably greater regularity than the
average railway train. And Miss Mat.
thews has kept this record up. All
along Mr.. Matthews route people go
to their boxes at certain hours and
they invariably ind their mail.
The fact that Mr.. Matthews changes
horses half way on his route, Il was
feared, would cause Miss Matthews to
lose time. But 1t did not. She made
the change in four minutes, which is

traces OF the weed may be removed
from their breath before the following
evening. Some Of the beauty shops
have operators whose duty II is to ro-
move cigarette stains from the fingers
OF their patrons.
That women smoke cigarettes to ne
small extent is proven by the presence
on the counters OF tho department
stores OF complete cigarette smoking
outfits. There are dainty little hand.

silver scissors and holders, the latter
designed 10 prevent the fingers OF tho

Of the State street sores the young
woman behind the counter in which
these things were displayed said that

partment.
The physicians Of Chicago rapidly
are learning that women smoke cigar
cites to to an extent that Is none too
good for their health. Some OF those
women who have called in n physician
to treat them for certain nervous nal
aides have been indignant when the
same physician ordered them TO give
up cigarettes. Always they deny that
they have used tobacco I'm any form.
but the doctors say that excessive
cigarette smoking never fails to leave
its peculiar effect on the heart action.
and that they seldom are deceived by
those who try to make them believe
they never smoke.
over on the west side are several
small cigarette shops which cater
especially to women. The brand of
coffin nails" made by them differs
materially from those smoked by men.
They are longer and not 81 thick. On
one end is a mouthpiece of hardened
paper to prevent the tobacco from
coming in actual contact with the lips.
None or the downtown dealers could
estimate. In figures, the extent of the
habit. They all agreed that most OF
the feminine smokers were women OF
the fashionable world and that the
passion for cigarettes is or the in
crease. Because the cigarettes on.
sumed by the women seldom are
bought directly by them there is no
way of telling, the dealers say, just
how many women are taken with the
habit.
