Lived Recluse.

Garden City, l.. I.--While tearing
down the old farmhouse that for more
than 40 years sheltered William Henry
Jaynes, recluse and miser, John Nc
Kenna and Sylvanus Demott found
$1l,395.70, part Of the hoard left by
Jaynes at his death last December.
He was SO years old
Jaynes in his younger days was
happy and progressive. He was en-
gagged to marry, when an accident
caused an injury and cancer of the
face. which made him decide to forego
matrimony and he became a recluse,
living solely for the love of boarding
money.
Jaynes seldom left his home, which
Tor years was isolated hut has since
become very valuable, and Is now near
the exclusive Garden City colony and
the golf links. He raised garden
truck and sent 1t to Hampstead, Gar.
den City and Meadow Brook. He con-
verted his earnings into gold and
greenbacks and hid these away. He
had an aversion to banks and always
pleaded extreme poverty to his few
relatives, who occasionally visited
him
After his death relatives ransacked
the house and more. than $4,000 was
found secreted in various places.
Holes were dug in various parts OF the
ten-acre farm and the barn was
searched, without result.
Mr.. Demott. one of the administra.
tors, decided to tear down the old
house and soon came upon several
bags hanging inside the rafters. The
plaster had been removed to hide the
money and again replaced.
In three of the bags, made of bed
ticking, was over $1,000 in FIVE, ten
and twenty-dollar gold pieces. and 81
395.7O was found in bills and small
change in other bags. All were GOV.

undisturbed.
Search of the old place is continu.

everywhere about the place Mr.. De.
mott believes the estate will total
$4,000. There are five known heirs.
and more are expected to file claims.

Goes Walking with Goose.

Washington. = George HELEN, q
prominent member of the Metropoll

curious habit of walking down the
streets of Washington attended by a
goose.
Mr.. HELEN is one of the most popu

is about 40 years old. Every once in
while he takes notion to do some
thing unusual.
Atone time he saw an organ grind

Mr. Blanken is not an unusually

inch of the three pieces of furniture,
including the casters of the bed and

1t has taken him eight years to
