Mrs. L., q young and inexperienced
Sunday school teacher, was at times
sorely perplexed how to answer the
questions put to her by some of her un.
usually bright pupils. One day Just
after she had finished telling the chill.
dren the story that Adam was the first
man God created quiet reigned In the
classroom for several minutes. Sud.
denly up jumped little Rose, and in a
piping voice said: "Oh, teacher. you
forgot to tell us whether God created
Adam right away a man or :. baby,"
Embarrassed, Mrs. l.. looked up to the
ceiling and then to the children for an
inspiration. Happily she quickly spied
Betty's little hand raised above the
others eager to answer the question.
Teacher, am surprised my sister
Rosie should ask such foolish cues.
ton. Why, God must have created
Adam right away big man, because
II God had created hGn a baby he
would have had to have a mother to
take care of him."

MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.
Humorist Points Out What He consld-
ers Some Wrong Conceptions:

Mark Twain said that the financial
panic has caused wrong idea OF the
use and value Of money.
"The spendthrift says that money,
being round, was made to roll. The
miser says that. being fiat, 1t was
made to stack up Both are wrong.
strangely wrong. too, in their ideas
about money are the veteran Aus
tralian gold diggers. These simple
old fellows, though worth perhaps q
half million or more. live in the sim
pie dug-outs and shanties Of their lean
early days.
"Once, lecturing, I landed at an Aus
tralian port. There was no porter in
sight to carry my luggage. Seeing a
rough-looking old fellow leaning
against post with his hands In his
pockets, beckoned to him and said:
"'See here, IL you carry these bags
up to the hotel I'll give you half a
crown
"The man scowled at me. He took
three or four gold sovereigns from his
pocket, threw them into the sea,
scowled at me again, and walked away
without q word"

SIXTY PERISH IN COLLISION.
Terrible Railway Disaster Occurs q,
ContIch, Belgium.

Antwerp.-One Of the worst rail.
road accidents in Europe in recent
times occurred at Contich, station
six miles. southeast of this city on the
main line, at eight o'clock Thursday
morning. The exact number Of victims
has not been determined, owing to
the difficulty Of removing the bodies
from the debris, but the latest esti.
mate places the number at 60 killed
100 wounded.
The catastrophe appears to have
been due to a defective switch where
the main line crosses local line. AT
his point a train, carrying a large
number of pilgrims on their way to q
local shrine, was standing. Into this
the Antwerp Brussels express dashed
at a speed of 80 miles an hour, literal.

HELD FOR PERJURY.
DIVORCE SUIT DISMISSED
Expert Witnesses Destroy crsdIbiIlty
Of Her story Of Marriage with
the Aged New York
Senator.

New York.--Mae G. Wood. whose
suit for an absolute divorce from
United States Senator Thomas G.
Plat Of New York has been on trial
In the supreme court here for several
days, was committed to the Tombs
prison late Thursday after Justice
O'Gorman had dismissed the com
plant in her action and ordered her
held in $1,000 bail on charge Of per-
jury.
The decision In Senator Platt's
favor and the sudden and sensational
end OF the suit came after day which
the defense occupied largely with the
introduction of expert and other testi.
mony attacking the authenticity Of the
documents by which the plaintiff was
seeking to establish her alleged mar
riage to Senator Plat.
A handwriting expert testified that
In his opinion the body Of the letter,
in which Senator Plat was alleged to
have admitted his relation as hus-
band to the plaintiff. was added after
the senator's signature had been az
u4cu. mOTc CcllluB BILL III tuO uC-
tense were the dispositions by engrav-
ers and stationers called by counsel
for Senator Plat that the blank form
upon which the alleged Platt-Wood
marriage certificate was prepared, was
not autographed until three months
after the date upon which the mar.
rage of Miss Wood to Senator Plat
was alleged to have taken place.
Senator Platt's counsel moved for
dismissal of the complaint. It was
forthwith granted by Justice O'Gor-
man. who in rendering his decision
said:
II cannot credit the plaintiffs EVIL
dence as to the alleged marriage, and
the testimony as it impresses the
court is that this is most wicked de-
sign to support false and fictitious
claim by forgery and perjury"
Forthwith Justice O'Gorman ordered
Miss Wood committed to the Tombs
on the charge Of perjury. fixing bail in
her case at $1,000.
