STATE BINDS LANDS.

While the desire to bring financial
profit out of the work was not the
first consideration, the work has re-
suited in some return of profit. Last
year there was revenue from the cram
berry bogs of the section of nearly
$3.50, or nearly five per cent. on the
annual investment of 1888.
In the adjoining town of Truro,
where the town and private parties
own the land. the problem of covering
the famous Peaked hills promised to
be much more difficult, but still not
hopeless.
Cape Cod is swept by some of the
fiercest gales along the Atlantic coast,
and the inhabitants long ago learned
that sight rent in the thin top crust
of the sandy surface in short tins
might spread to ungovernable proper
tons before the boring and scatter
ing force of the wind. Repairs now
are quickly made whenever need Is
discovered, but on the Peaked hills
devastation which probably occurred
years ago was neglected, and the ef-
feet has been costly.

ONE EGG A DAY is BOYS DIET
Little Howard Elliott Is "the Lishtest"
Eater in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia-Not many a lad in
the land could subsist on diet of
''one egg a day." but it has proved suf.
ficient for Howard, the little son of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. W. Elliott of North
Uber street, who celebrated his eighth
birthday the other day.
Physicians have been puzzling their
brains about this strange case for
many months, for it has seemed queer
to them that boy could exist on so
slim ration But it is a necessity
for Howard Elliott, for his organs are
SO weak that he cannot digest any
heavier food. So, he eats an egg every
day.
The boy is a bit stronger than he
used to be. and he has brain that
would well fit a lad of twice his years
A diet of one egg daily seems to de-
velop the gray matter. for Howard
makes all the other boys in his depart
ment at school hustle some if they are
not to be eclipsed by "weakling."
Physically he is deficient, for his
tender muscles and undeveloped body
will not stand the romp and tumble of
the ordinary playground. But Howard
makes a hard try at being a boy"
even if it does use up about all the
energy he can accumulate in the
course of IA week. The birthday cele-
bration was bright event and
brought many of his playmates to his
home.

Two Cribbage Players Have Pegeed
Nearly 100000 Each.

Des Moines, la.-A cribbage game
for million points. which has already
lasted over seven years is being played
in this city by Col. John c. Loper and
Milo Ward The score TO date is
46O,234 to 4oo,234 The players esti-
mate that they will live to finish the
exciting contest in 1915.
Both men are prominent here, Loper
being sheriff of Polk county and Ward
secretary of the Commercial exchange.
The men play once a week, either
Monday or Saturday nights, from 1870
to IL. These men have played for 376
consecutive weeks and religiously
keep their weekly engagement. The
average number of points made each
night for the last seven years is 2,15O.
The game was suggested by Mr..
Loper and Mr.. Ward took him up.
Just what the stakes are neither of the
players will divulge. Both men have
passed the 50-year mark.
The game has been divided into
series of 100000 points each. During
their weekly contest they take half
hour for light refreshments. They play
scientifically, and even politics and
commercial interests are tabooed dur
ing the progress of the games.
The players have worn out number
OF cribbage boards and about 25 packs
of cards, so far. These are carefully

Refuses to Disclose hIs Exact Age Is Still Very Active and Reads W'tn- out the Aid of GIasses-Was
 Born in Ireland.

Almost l century in the service or hi, church, 70 years of which nave elapsed since he was ordained priest, and vet to be able to celebrate mass before an altar constructed in his own room. is the proud record of Very Rev. Canon Jeremiah Moynihan, who now makes his home with friends at 193 Thirty-ninth street,
 Just exactly how old this grand old priest is remains secret which ne guards as carefully as does coy maid en who has passed that mystic birth day when women would rather remain silent than divulge their age. He ad' mits that he was born in 1908, but says that he will not tell any man, woman or child the exact date of his birthday.
 They'd make fuss about It," he says, and that would be useless"
 "Old Father Jerry" as he is famil- !arly known by thousands of admirers, says to live long and keep good health one must eat and sleep regularly, shun tobacco and liquors and banish worry.
 Canon Moynihan is active, he eats we'll he sleeps we'll he laughs-oh, so heartily-and he declares that he can place a man of 70 on his back in & twinkling. Were it not for his ad- vanced age he says he would have been bishop, and very likely the arch bishop of New Orleans. He is not at
