There was some speculation as to
whether the instrument would benefit
the old gentleman or not. One was
holding the ear trumpet, while anoth-
5er was explaining its use and showing
old Mr.. Borrows how to hold 1t to his
ear. :55
"say something to him through IT.
Joe" said one to the other.
Now, Joe had long waited for an ops
.portunity to reach Mr.. Borrows' ear.
So, speaking very distinctly Into the
trumpet, he said:
you've not paid me that sovereign
you owe me yet, Mr.. Borrows."
81 But the old gentleman put the in
strument down, with disapp ointment
on his face, and they could see 1t was
IA failure even before he had time to
say: s

In the Baptist graveyard at Can

Revolutionary soldier named James

marks his grave, but a more conspicu.
GUS monument Is large hickory tree

the ground, measures fifty-one and a

Jarnes sayres was an ardent ad-
mirer of Andrew Jackson, so often
called "Old Hickory from the char
acter of being so unbenling in any
cause which he believed to be. right.
MIR. Sayres always wore a sprig OF
hickory On his breast on training
days" and before he died directed
that a hickory tree be planted on his
grave. This was done, and after tho
tree attained proportions deemed I'M.
suitable to adorn a grave it was dug
up. Another tree sprang from the
roots left in, and this in time was also
dug up.
When third tree appeared, with a
persistency in good cause worthy

directed that 1t be not disturbed.

IcIcLEs 60 YEARS OLD.
Odd Discovery Made Under the sanda
Of a Delaware Beech.


Odd Discovery Made Under the sandal
Of a Delaware Beech.
Claiming to have found icicles that,
have been preserved for over sixty
years, Harry e. Elliott Is backed by.
four companions who were with him
when the discovery was made. Over
sixty years ago an old oilhouse, where
the fluid was kept for use in the Cape
Henlopen lighthouse, was suddenly
covered up by the shifting sands Of
Rehoboth Beach. No effort was made,
to uncover it, and the sand remained
there until many had forgotten that a
house had ever been on the spot.
Last week when Harry e. Elliott, a
well known merchant, and four other
companions were walking down the
beach near one of the sand dunes they
noticed the peak Of small house
showing forth and procuring shovels
started to dig the sand away, until
finally the door Of the little place APP
peared. Bursting open the door from
Its rusted hinges the men suddenly
plunged into a veritable icehouse and
were astonished to find icicles hang
ing from the roof. The ice was broken
off. but in few moments melted
away.
Upon investigation it was found that
the old oilhouse lad been covered up
for. over sixty years and the icicles,
which were formed then, had kept in
the perfectly alright compartment un-
til the men dug the sand away.

The cross examination did not de-
yelop any different story.
Frank Tharaldson, boy who
works for Forsythe, took the stand
and told on direct examination, the
same story as -Forsytfe. On cross
examination he refused to answer
and he was delivered to the sheriff
and his direct testimony stricken
out. The prosecution then rested.
Burbage testified that he went af-
ter his cows and Forsythe began to.
call him vile names and he hit him
with a small coiled rope and was
walking away from Forsythe when
the latter hit him with a club. He
fell, face down on the ground and

him twice with the club and kicked
him on the side. Mclarty came up

ed Forsythe into the barn, hitting.
him on the seat Of his pants.
Cross examination developed the
fact that Forsyth owed Burbage's
boys money for doing herding and
in settling for keeping his cows
Burbage had held out the boys wag-
es. This produced bad feeling be-
tween the men.
| Neil Nc Lardy testified that he
went up to Forsythe's with five dol
lars given him by Mrs. Burbage to
take to Barney, as she thought he
did not have money enough to pay
the fees. Just as he reached the
fence he saw Forsythe strike Bur
bag from behind with club and
saw. him fall. When Forsythe was
on top Of him beating him with the
club he told him to let the man up
and when Forsythe refused he

ed to arrest the Scotchman but the
latter squared off and Forsythe then
made for the barn and Burhage

Who Would Want 70 Be, Lamar

The lama pilgrims among the Tibet
an Hindoos, as they pursue their noun
tain pilgrimages, literally measure of
the distance with their bodies. The
distinguished traveller Sven Hedin.
writing Of his discoveries In Tibet in
Harper's Magazine, describes them as
lying down full length on the ground,
making o mark on the road, rising and
stepping forward to the mark, once
more to fall full length. One such
walking journey as this, says DR..
Hedin, equals thirty ordinary ones.
Among the lamas also are to be found
those who immune themselves in "a
dark cave for life, food being passed
In through passage or hole under
ground. Should the dish be one day
untouched those outside may know
that the sacrificial prisoner has died
seated, since all good lamas must die
seated, in the wooden frame which
was fashioned for him when he was
entombed. 3 y

entire state. North Dakota was for
a long time without a name-sake on the

the name of this state vii be one of

Explosive Diamonds.

A curious fact about diamonds is
that IT Is not uncommon for the crys-
tails to explode MS soon as they are
brought up from the mine. Sometimes
they have burst in the pockets or the
warm hands of miners, due to the eff
feet Of increased temperature. Large
stones are more likely to do This than
small ones. Valuable stones have been
