on BEING BORN POOR.

do you know what is bothering
me now," said man who has made
himself rich and is fast getting richer.
cts wondering what is going to be-
come of my boys.
81 have four sons, all young, and
all wholesome, natural youngsters,
but If / keep on making money the
way I'm doing now don't know
what's going to happen to them when
they grow up. There's nothing like
being born poor to give man a real
start In lie, with his feet hrmly plant
ed on the ground, where they ought
to be, and be learning to orely on him
self.
ST was born that way, and I've al
ways been grateful for it. If l had
been born rich l think 1 should have
been more or less of no account. I
had to get out and hustle and work to
get along, and the habit of work has
never left me since, as l hope it never
will.
But how is it going to be about
my boys1 They may come to think
that they don't have to work, which
would be the ruination of them, or
would at least put them out of the
running with self-reliant, able men.
'I'm sending them to the public
school, of course, and there they learn
a heap of things besides what they
get out of their books. They learn
for one valuable lesson that there are
other people in the world besides
themselves and that there may be
plenty of people smarter than they are,
and that they've got to work if they
expect to keep their end up.
"Boys are democrats. You can't
put on any lugs or airs if you expect
to get along with the boys in public
school; if you want friends you've
got to be friendly. A good all around
start in life it is for boys to go to
public school, and I hope my boys
will profit by 1t.
"But l suppose in time they'll go
to private school, and then if they
want to they'll go to college, and
there what with their money, unless
they should turn out to be hard-head-
ed young men, they will come to train
with other young men with money,
and SO get separated from the bulk of
their fellow students and began to live
by themselves and l can't imagine
anything happening to young man
worse than that, his getting away from
the mass of his fellow men.
my boys have never known what
it is to be poor They have always

should fail or bust or something,
which I dom expect to do, don t see
why they shouldn't always have
things, because as long as I had any
thing I should be sure to keep them.
That's human nature.
"And you see, there's the trouble.
The've got somebody to lean on, and
man that doesn't have to isn't apt
to put out his own strength. The
only way in which man can ever
amount to anything is by hard work.
"The man that doesn't work dwin-
dies and comes to be of no account.
And l do hope my boys will want to
work. / don't care what they do If
they'll only work at it, and work hard
and faithfully. Think they IRE handi-
capped as it is; honest injun. I
think it would have been better for
them to have been born poor, but I
hope they'll turn out to be men,

STRETCHING.

A spleudid thing for the bedy-is
stretching. When you first wake up
in the morning take good long
stretch. Stretch the hands as far out
sideways as possible. Then stretch
them over the head as far as you can
reach and at the same time stretch the
feet downward as far as you can.
Raise the feet and stretch upward just
as high as you can and then lower the
feet and legs very slowly.
When you get out of bed raise your
arms over your head and, standing on
tiptoe, see how near you can reach the
ceiling. Then walk about the room
while in this position. Stand on the
right foot and stretch the right arm
forward and upward as far as you can,
while at the same time the left foot is
raised from the floor and stretched
outward and the left hands stretch
ed backward and downward. Thisisa
fine exercise for the whole body and
is especially good for the waist and
hips, making them firm and strong.
Standing on the left foot this exercise
can be reversed.
If you have been sitting IN the same
position for long time reading, stu
dying, writing or sewing and the mus
cles have become tired and cramped
the best thing to do is to get up and
stretch. Stretch the arms upward
and outward and forward and back
ward. Lift the shoulders as high as
you can and drop them. Expand the
chest and breathe deeply. Or, sitting
In the chair, stretch the hands up
wards, lift the feet from the floor and
stretch them forward as possible.
Anyway SO you give the muscles a
good, vigorous stretch.
When one is very tired there is no.
thing more restful than stretching the
muscles and then relaxing.

sound arrested her attention. She
fancied that steps were ascending the
cellar stairs. Slowly they advanced.
Clamp, clamp, clamp. Now they
were more distinct. Up, up came the
steps. Higher and higher, creak,
creak; soon the landing would be
reached. A strange light now ap-
peared. 1t was of a blush white col
or-fitfuI, darting, Pickering. With
both hands she still clung to the COW
ering. Every second was an eterni-
ty. Her agony was almost insupport-
able. Asthe last fearful step sounded
near the topmost stair, she could bear
it no longer; and, leapingto the floor
with wild, unearthly shrek fed into
the hall.
Where next frenzy would have led
her is uncertain /; for at the same in
slant the outside door was opened by
her husband, who had at last return
ed (; and with low moan of relief she
sank quivering and faint into his arms.
His surprise may be imagined. It
was not diminished on striking light
and hearing her strange story. In
spite of his wife's entreaties to the
contrary, he Immediately searched
the cellar with considerable care, but
found nothing.
He, too, had met with an adventure.
On returning home and leading his
horse to the stable, woman in white
with a child in her arms had stood in
the stable door, with her hand uplift-
ed and fore6nger raised, warning him
not to enter. Undaunted by this
strange spectre, he led his horse bold
ly forward, but snorting with fear, it
broke from his grasp and fed to the
woods. The spectre vanished. To at
tempt toretake his horse before morn
ing would be fruitless, so he proceeded
to house which he providentially
reached as above related. With tears
his wife besought him torepack their
goods for an early departure. Even
he was not slow to consent, and with
the first rays of dawn they left the
place forever.
Such, briefly told, are some of the
chief incidents related of this mysteri-
Gus house. OF their truth leave to
the judgment of the readers, and
such as wish to make further inquiry
and investigation. I can vouch for
nothing save the apparent candor of
those by whom they were related.
While, like similar stories, they are
to have been, in the course of so long
a time, somewhat exaggerated, still,
to the plastic fancy of the traveller,
they serve to throw strange interest
about this truly weird and romantic
edi6ce of former age and generation.

the water in a bathing lake, the police
today were looking for Joseph Rirota,

Rirota and Winkowslli were both ad-

woman had expressed a preference for

Failing to Obtain Freedom, Pitts
burger Wants to Return to
Duchess County Jail.

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y, June %
The hearing of the writ of habeas cor
pus by which Harry X. Thaw expects
to regain his freedom from madhouse,
was today adjourned for two weeks by
Justice Mills of the Supreme Court. At
that time District Attorney Jerome and
the Thaw lawyers will submit their af-
fidavits and briefs on the motion of
Thaw for a trial by jury.
While the court proceedings We're on
here today Justice Dowling, of the
Supreme Court in New York city, de-
MED Thaw's application for an order
TO be transferred fyn5- Matteawan to
the Middletown Asylum. saying thai II
the state authorities having charge of
the insane saw fit they could transfer
the slayer of Stanford White.
Justice Mills ordered Thaw back to
the Poughkeepsie Jail, where he could
be convenient to his lawyer
District Attorney Jerome, just as firm
as ever in his determination to keep
Thaw in the Matteawan Asylum for
the Criminal Insane, arrived early to-
day and conferred with the District
Attorney of Westchester county,
At the last hearing in Poughkeepsie
the question of Thaw's right to a jury
trial of his sanity was not raised. But
his new counsel Charles Morschauser
and Colonel Franklin Bartlett, of New
York, said today that they would insist
on a jury of twelve men passing on
Thaw's mental condition, instead of
the Justice of the Supreme Court.
1t is a pretty three -cornered fight
that is now on. Thaw wants his lib
erty. and. failing in that, he wants to
be ordered back to the Duchess Coun-
ty Jail where he has lived in luxury
in the private apartments of Million
aire Sheriff bob" Chanler, since he
was taken there from Matteawan for
his first application for freedom. Jer-
ONE Is here to insist that he be re-
turned to Matteawan and Assistant
District Attorney Edward Conger, of
Duchess County, is here to oppose
any application for a return of Thaw
to the Dutchess County Jail. Duchess
County is desirous of washing its
hands of the whole matter on account
of the expense.
Thaw, who is looking In fine trim,
came over from Poughkeepsie early on
a train. and before going to the court
house he was taken to a barbershop to
be shaved
His presence caused a stir in the old
aristocratic town A large crowd fol-
lowed him, and Thaw was plainly
amused at the activity of a number of
photographers in swapping his picture
as he walked along the streets with his
guard.
The Thaw party was Joined on the
train by DIR. Charles w. Pilgrim, super

Hospital for the Insane in Poughkeep-
sic, who testified as an expert in be-

WIFE A SUICIDE
WHEN HUSBAND
IGNORED ADVICE
SaboI Took $5 to Spend Which
They Couldn't Afford, She
Said, and Drank Poison.

Soon after her husband took S. from
the cash drawer against her wishes
yesterday afternoon Mrs Sadie Sabol,
after destroying her husbands hat and
coat went to the adjoining room and
swallowed the contents of bottle of
carbolic acid which however, was
sufficient to result fatally.
The Sabols lived at 454 South Elev-
enth street. Sabol put on his best
clothes yesterday and took the money
from the cash drawer and was about
to leave when his wife interfered. Joe,
you know business isn't very good. and
that We can't afford It, and don't take
that money was the womans plea.
1t was ignored and she seized the hat
from her husbands head and wrecked
1t, and then removed his coat. This
did not stop him, and he was soon out
of sight
kissing her little boy and girl Mrs.
Sabol drank the acid.
The woman was removed to the City
Hospital and died in less than two
hours.
