More than this, she decided to be

London Answers. One Sunday, a few
months ago. an interesting proof OF
this fact was seen In the parish church
Of Eutcombe, in north Devon. A
woman who suffered from epilepsy sat
In ths porch as the congregation came
out from morning service, and thirty
married men, who at her request had
attended church, passed her one by
one. AS they passed each dropped a
penny in her lap. The thirtieth took
the pennies and gave the woman q

REVEALED A NUMBER OF OBJ
OTHER PEOPLE,.

Cottage Grove, Ind, Oct. 9.-When
Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. Z. Wilson left this
place this morning but few people
knew that they were the victims of
circumstances and their own actions,
which compelled them to do so. Mr..
and Mrs. Wilkinson are only children
being but eighteen years old. Owing
to their minority no attempt was made
to arrest them for shoplifting, on
which charge they were privately ac-
cused.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilkinson came to
Cottage Grove from Decatur, Ill, two
weeks ago and he took a position as
telegraph operator and towerman for
the c.. H. & D. They were almost
penniless on arrival and owing to their
youthful appearance Mrs. Nellie Barn
ard boarding house keeper here,
took pity on them and told them that
they might have rooms and lodging
until Mr.. Wilkinson received his first
pay from the railroad. They accepted
the offer and during their two weeks
stay at Mrs Barnard's establishment
made friends rapidly.
Their downfall came yesterday
when they packed their suit cases pre-
paratory to leaving here. George
Tucker, another boarder at Mrs. Bar
nard's place, missed a white vest and
after a search in the cases of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilkinson the vest was found
in addition to number Of pieces of
silk wearing apparel belonging to the
landlady. Sheriff Weidner of Liberty
was called and disclosed severa; box,
es of silk neckties, hosiery and a
number of boxes Of gloves. Both plead
innocent, when accused of the theft
Mr.. Wilkinson telegraphed the c.
H. & d. railroad company that he was
going to leave Cottage Grove today
and they autographed him his pay and

if Weidner and prosecuting witnesses

pair they would have been arrested.

GOLF I'M HOLLAND.
An Almanac of 1900 Shows the Dutch
Putting at Holes.

England did not borrow golf orig
inally from France, but from Holland,
whence the Scots used to buy balls, IL
not clubs. till a crushing duty was
placed on Dutch golf balls.
Indeed. there is abundant evidence,
including that Of Froissart, to prove
that the Scots got everything from
Holland ready made in exchange for
raw materials
However it was managed, We got
golf balls from Holland and adopted
the Flemish invention Of the hole.
This was the most brilliant invention
Of the Eata Wan genius.
All continental people played at an
iron hoop or ct a fixed object like the
pin In croqGet. but an Illuminated al
manac of about 1900 shows that In the
Low Countries players already putted
at holes.
The other kind OF game. driving with
hammer headed clubs and lofting
through an iron ring instead Of putting
at the hole. reached England from
France in the sixteenth century, but
died out after the revolution OF 1888.
