BABY HAS A RECORD
SIX-YEAR-CLD GIRL TRAVELS
100000 MILES.
Meets Pope and the President-Roose-
Welt save Her Flowers, but
Leo s Reception Was Not
So EfTdsiVe.

BostoH.-With a travelling record OF
about 1000 miles to her credit, the
Baby GlObeuOuer," as Miss Kath-
q Leonore Adelia Gle1wOOd Moran
Is cailsa. las maze the announce
ment she wants 10 go 10 housekeep-
ing, adding sGe has travelled as much
as she cares to and she now prefers
to establish and remain in a home of
her own.
Miss LeonOre is only six years old,
but she has visited more different
countries and more inaccessible per
sonages than the average diplomat
can boast of in a lifetime.
Crowned heads of Europe have
recognized the little girl, she was ad-
mitted to the presence of the late
Pope Leo XIII, being the only child
under II years who was ever permit
ted an audience with his Holiness.
AZ guess the pope didn't think much
about me, though" little Miss Leo
more admitted. He was so old and I
was so young, but | remember Presi-
dent Roosevelt very well. He seemed
'deelighted to see me, and gave me
bouquet of flowers from his library
table and l carried them with me to
have a photograph taken. We were
at GlenWood Springs, Col, when he
was out there on his big hunt, and
our hotel was the executive headquaT-
ters. That is where l was born, and
I think that of all the places l have
ever seen l prefer Glenwood Springs
to all others. You see, part of my
name is 'GlenwOod.'
Yes, my name is rather long," lit
tie Miss Leonore said as she sat on
chair out of all proportions to her
size and chatted about herself with a
newspaper representative The name
under discussion did seem burden
somely long for the delicate, dainty
miss with blue eyes, who could talk
with such familiarity of personages
and places.
q am sometimes called Miss Kath-
ryn,' but I much prefer Miss Leo
nore,'" she said with childish sweet
ness.
While she has received unusual at
tentiOn on account of her intelligence,
the little "glObetrOtter" has not for
feited a winning childish manner and
talks of her travels as naturally as
most children talk of their toys. She
has been interviewed for numerous
papers and was the subject of an ar
ticle in a Toxic paper, when the only
thing she was able to read was her
own name. She afterward received
about so post cards from Japanese
children.
Miss Leonore is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. George E. Moran, of
Chicago. Mr.. Moran is one of the best
known newspaper men in the west
and was one time managing editor of
the Chicago Times. Like her father,
the little girl inclines toward a lit
erary career.
81 expect to begin to write as soon
as we go TO housekeeping" she an
nounced, that's one reason why /
think that we should settle down. l
can't do very much this way, you
know. We are going to the Klondike
this summer, again. Our trip up there
last summer was interesting. Beauti-
full flowers grow beside the snow
banks, but I feel that 1 have travelled
enough. I want to go to GlenwoOd
and live quietly for a change

SPIDER WEBS FOR CUTS.
Primitive Treatment Fails, However,
and Receives a Black Eye.

Caramba, Ia.-SpideT webs are still
used by many persons to cure cuts.
How this idea started is not known,
but there are hundreds of families in
this and adjoining counties that be-
lieVe in the cure implicitly.
It is the impression that no matter
how serious a fresh cut is, the appli-
cation of a wad of spider webs will
quickly check the flow Of blood and
materially aid in healing the wound.
4 common sight in farmhouses
when one of the help gets a slash with
the corn knife is the housewife gath
ering a bunch of cobwebs on the end
OF broom and slapping them against
the wound.
This primitive treatment, which has
been condemned by physicians, got a
black eye last summer when lOckjaw
developed in the case of one patient
who tried the web treatment, and he
died in agony.
Since then the dust-covered webs
have been permitted to remain on the
ceilings.

SMOKE CAUSES sNUB NOSES.
A Remarkable Indictment Against
London Nuisance Drawn Up.

London.-Sir William Richmond,
the well-known member Of the Royal
academy, finds instances from unex-
pected directions that drive home his
arguments in his hitherto unsuccess-
full campaign against the London
smoke nuisance.
He told his hearers that the late
springs and early falls here are caused
entirely by London smoke. The pallOr
of Londoners is also due to the same
cause, for smoke excluded the sun
light and where there was no sunlight
there could be no color. He went so
far as to ascribe the physical deh-
ciencies of the poor to his pet aver
sion.
Promising that nothing could grow
without light, he declared that poor
girls often went toOthless, while the
unsightly snub noses and retreadng
chins so common among the poorly
bred natives of London were largely
due to the absence of light

GOES TO PRISON AT 81 YEARS.
Dangerous counterfeiter Is Sent to
Penitentiary at Advanced Age.

Philadelphia-"Old Sam" Tate, said
to be the most dangerous counterfeiter
in the country, has been sent to the
eastern penitentiary by Judge Holland
for eight years.
Since 1872 Tate has spent more
than half of his time in jail, and it is
probable that his sentence will finish
him, for he told the court yesterday
that he was 81 years old. William
higher and Charles Busramonte, who
were tried with him, were sentenced
to 18 months and three years re-
spectively.
Only last March Tate was on trial
for counterfeiting, with George Ward,
Michael Joyce, James Gaughan and
Catherine ODonnell, but by shrewd
coaching of the other defendants Tate
was acquitted. Ward, Joyce and
Gaughan were sent to prison, and the
O'Donnell woman, although convicted,
was released in her own recogniZance.
Tate put up hard fight. His coun-
sci declared that he was being 'sys-
tematically bounded" by the secret
service men; that he was a reputa-
Bile Junk dealer and that in the course
of his business he had come into pos
session of the supposed counterfeiting
material found in his house by the
operatives.

Historic Cottaae to Go.

New York.-Summer residents at

to learn that the John Howard Payne

is likely to be sold within a few days
to a Brooklyn man. He is expected to
so alter and remodel it as to destroy
its identity. When the wardens of st.
Luke's Episcopal church bought the
Payne property last year, some of the
summer cottagers endeavored to raise
q fund with which to buy the cottage,
but without success.

RIFLE IN TREE TRUNK.
Oak Has Grown Around the Gun, Al
most Completely ImbeddIng II.

Seattle, Wash.-About II miles
from Centralia, on the road to Little
Rock, is a curiosity, to see which
would amply repay anyone for the
drive. About so yards from the road,
near a deserted homestead, is al old
fashioned rife imbedded in the trunk
of a tree.
The trunk of the scrub oak is net
more than six inches through at the
point where the rife is imbedded, so
that the stock and barrel are in COM
plete view. The rife is in a perfect
state of preservation.
1t is evident that the rifle was
placed in a crotch Of the tree many
years ago, probably at the height at
which a man would rest a gun when
taking careful aim.
In the course of years the tree has
grown completely around the rife,
the lock being imbeddsd. The crotch
is now about six inches above the
barrel and the gun is about ten feet
from the ground.
Romances innumerable might be
woven about the old rife, but it
stands as memento to the develop
ment and progress that have taken
place. What was a wild and uneX-
plored country at the time when the
rife was first placed in the crotch Of
the tree, with the red man monarch

WINS FORTUNE IN ALASKA.
Miner Patents Piece of Ground Over.
looked by Famous Company.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-John Johnston.
a former resident of western South
Dakota, according TO ia.-9"s OILS y,
have been received from Juneau,
Alaska, where he now is, has 'sCruck
it rich" and is in a fair way to be-
come a millionaire
He at present is having contest in
the courts with the famous Treadwell
Mining company over a strip of valG-
able mining ground which the com
pany was supposed TO own, but which
it is alleged was never properly loca-
ted. Johnston located the strip under
the mining laws of the district and
applied for a patent, but this was held
up and delayed by various court pro-
cesses until recently, when the appli-
cation for the patent was granted.
The railroad of the Treadwell COM
pany, part of one of the companys
great mills, and some new oil tanks
belonging to the company are all on
the strip of ground to which Johnston
has obtained a patent. The strip is
between the big dividend payers Of
the TTeadWen company, and it was a
serious proposition to the company to
learn that so valuable a piece Of
mining property had been overlooked.
In addition to this strip. Johnston
has received patent for group Of
copper claims on KOuperinoff island,
for which he has been offered the sum
of S75,0 900. He also has recently con-
cluded a sale of some property on
Douglas island for $15O,O0O. Johnston
announces that he will make a visit
to his old home in South Dakota this
summer.
