The Force of Habit.

"Do I snore?" said the fat commer- cial drummer. 'I should say so. That's why I can't use an alarm clock. 1 can't hear 'em. My snore drowns the best of 'em. And, speaking of the force of habit put up once at crowded country hotel where I had to double up with an acquaintance. l told him l snored a few, but he didn't mind, he said, because his wife was a star in that line, and he had a system to beat it.
 "I'll just tap you on the shoulder every time you begin to snore,' he eX- plaincd 'Thatll stop you without waking you, and after little I'll drop off myself

GET-RICH-OUICK MAN
 SUED FOR DIVORCE,

New York, Aug. 2.-Declaring that
 her husband, Alfred R. Goslin of get rich-quick fame, is possessed of great wealth wrung from dupes in this coun- 1 try and which he is now spending in riotous living in Paris, Una Goslin has | brought suit for divorce and $100 a week alimony. The case has been set
 for hearing before Justice Hendrick
 of the supreme court tomorrow
 According to counsel for Mrs. Cos lin, the get-rich-quick promoter went to Paris some time ago with $200,000 | in cash, and an additional vast
 amount in bonds and securities, mak- ing no provision for his wife. Re- gently he caused to be served upon
 Mrs. Goslin notice that he was about to begin suit against her in Paris for divorce upon the ground of abandon
 ment and would commence active pro- ceedings to this end unless she at once
 joined him in the French capital. He notified her to report to him there and bring their young daughter, Marcelle leave America, declaring her belief that the invitation was but a. ruse by which Goslin hoped to obtain posses
 sion of the child. Her answer to the demand was to begin suit for separa- ton and alimony and at the rate of $5,200 a year.
 Mrs. GOslin's complaint sets forth some facts that throw an interesting 1 light on the prosperity of those who live by bleeding suckers. She sets forth that at the time of her marriage , to Goslin twelve years ago she was given cash present of $60,000 by her husband. For several years after their
 marriage they lived at the rate of $3O,-
 900 a year, which represented only a
 small portion of the profits reaped by
 Goslin from his get-rich-quick broker age business. Mrs. Goslin asserts that her husband deserted her in April,
 1905, and has not since contributed to
 the support of herself or her daughter. Mrs. Goslin is 2S, small and slender,
 with large blue eyes and brown hair,
 apparently educated and refined and
 decidedly beautiful. She declares that
 in order to secure money with which
 to buy food she has been compelled to desert the Goslin mansion and sell the furniture, originally costing $30,000,
 for $3,000.

Oh, death. how bitter is the thought of thee! How speedy thy approach! How stealthy thy steps! How uncer- tain thy hour! How universal thy sway! The powerful cannot escape thee; the wise know not how to avoid thee: the strong have no strength to oppose thee; the rich cannot bribe thee with their treasure. Thou art a hammer that always strikes, a sword that is never dull, net into which al' fall, a prison into which all must en- ter, a sea on which all must venture, q penalty which all must suffer, a trib- ute which all must pay.

In 1858 when the town meeting called.
there was no CRATE in the old fireplace. The
projectors of the enterprise secured from a Mr..
Carpenter old crate which had at one time
been used by Judge Fell and placed 1t in the
fireplace for this celebration. The old CRATE
was worn out. and whether IL was the one made
by Judge Fell after his first experiment or
what became OF IL afterward is not known.
Claims have been presented for CRATE known
as the Josiah Lewis CRATE. but of this little is
known
Late in Judge FelIs life he married a widow
named Culver. When. in 1880 the judge died,
the widow moved from the old Fell house and
took the CRATE then in the fireplace along with
her. This Is the crate in the possession Of
the Historical Society.

house. and which is the last claimant. was, ac-
