RELIC N OLD COURT

Newport, Ind. Aug. while two
carpenters were unroofing an old
building on the southeast corner of the
public square they found several rel
les in the attic which are at least fifty
or sixty years old and are supposed to
have been put there for preservation.
Among the curios were four large
buffalo hides. which were in good con-
dition. with the exception that the hair
was eaten by moths in several places
There were also about thirty old hand
loom reeds that were used to weave
flannels- carpets. etc.
This old building used to be a part
OF the first court house in the county
and is now used as . cement vault
factory.

GROWERS ISSUE MANDATE

Spokane, Wash, Aug. Three dol
lars a day for 10 hours work is de-
manded by harvest laborers in the
wheat fields in eastern Washington
where the ranchers in 13 counties will
gather a crop of $1,000, 900 bushels this
season. The scale paid in 1908 ranged
from $3.50 for laborers to 81 for engi-
neers. working from O'Clock in the
morning until dusk. Farmers say
that will be the schedule this year
They do not expect to have any diff
Guilty in obtaining sufficient help to
harvest the crop. Another situation is
presented by the Farmers Union of
Washington and Northern Idaho,
which. through Y. c. Mansfield of En-
dfcott, Wash. member of it's execu-
tive committee. has addressed an "op-
en- letter" to the millers in Washing

plain that if the price of BIuestem
wheat Is not at least 10 cents a BUSH
ell higher than Club or Turkey Red
grain the growers will establish mills.

OLD AERIAL WHEELS
Pneumatic Tires Not as Mod
ern as General Belief
Leads One to Believe.
FIRST ONE IN ENGLAND

The first pneumatic tire patent was
registered in England in 1S45 by r.
w. Thomson. The salient features of
this pioneers aerial wheels" were
covered in the specifications in this
quaint phraseology:
The nature of my said invention
consists in the application of elastic
bearings around the wheels of car
riages for the purpose of lessening the
power required to draw the carriage,
rendering their motion easier and d.
minishing the noise they make when
in motion. / prefer employing for the
purpose a hollow belt composed Of
some air and water tight material.
such as caoutchouc or gutta percha.
and initiating 1t with air. whereby the
wheels will in every part of their rev.
olution present a cushion of air to the
ground, or rail or track on which they
run"
After many experiments with Thorn
horse drawn vehicles. covering a per
iod of several years the invention fell
into complete oblivion. and it was not
until bicycles became an accomplished
fact that the pneumatic tire was again
brought out, this time by Dunlop in
1883.
Their application to the bicycle was
not a complete success, however, as
their usefulness ended with the first
puncture. so it may be said that the
first satisfactory pneumatic was that
introduced by Michelon in France a
few years later. The Michelon tire
was detachable. the first OF that type.
could be repaired easily on the road
by the rider and soon became the SUBJ
ject OF much imita ton.

Paris, Aug. 7.-Some weeks ago a
we'll known Paris lawyer. M. Roger
Berth, engaged a valet called Pierre
Branens. The man had excellent re-
ferences. all of which have since
proved to be forgeries.
A few days after his engagement the
valet stole brooch worth $1,000 be-

have shown that he has been robbing
all his masters regularly for the last
seven years.

New York, Aug. by Christmas it
is hoped that New York will have open
for worship on Morningside Heights a
church which in dignity and capacity
will not fall short of the finest exam
pies of ecclesiastical architecture in
the city. It will be many years yet be-
fore the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine is finished. but by inclosing
with temporary walls and roof the
space between the colossal granite
arches of the tower a church with
room for congregation of 1890 will
be provided.
The portion thus temporarily util-
lied is know technically as the cross
ing. Here the transepts cross the up
per portion of the nave. and over it
ultimately the tower will be erected

practically a continuation of the choir.
Together they will form a church of
considerable size but, as in all cathe-
drals, there will be room in the choir

OF course. compared with what the
cathedral will be when it is finished,
this church will be merely a temper
airy expedient; but as a matter of fact
in the great cathedrals of the old world
little more than the choirs and tran
septs are used for ordinary services
Acoustic difficulties make the utiliza-
ton of the naves impossible except on
state occasions and the congregations
gather as near as possible to the choir
Consequently New York will have in
a few months time a structure quite
large enough to fulfill most of the pur-
poses of cathedral.
In dignity. too. it will be in no way
wanting. The lofty choir with it's
eight great granite pillars. it's craven

New York, Aug. 7.-Although as de-

yesterday. Miss Matilda Spiegl. a mil
liner, who said her place of business
was in Fifth avenue, was found to be
a much befeathered young woman At
ter search by customs officers on the
pier. There was something in the ap-
pearance of Miss Spiegl's hat that first
excited the suspicious of an inspector.
who reported the fact to Deputy Sur
veyor John Raczievicz.
The lining of Miss Spiegls hat was
opened and out fell several of the I'm
est plumes that have been brought in
from her coat, and as the men inspec-
tors had done as much as they could to
assist the government to collect the
proper duty, Miss Spiegl was taken in
hand by women inspectors and search
ed in stateroom on board the Savole.
There were feathers in her waist
ard folds of her Paris made gown and
even feathers in her stockings IA
cetious inspector said that from all
accounts the young woman was pre-
pared to fly from the pier as quickly
as her baggage was examined. Dep
uty Surveyor Raczieyicz decided Miss
Spiegl would have to settle the mat
ter with the collector OF the port and
seized the feathers and plumes which
were casually valued at 500. AL
though caught with the feathers Miss
Spiegl accepted the situation with good
nature and decided that redress would
have to come later.

Pamela, who had always considered Tom
thoroughly sensible
81 suppose his money has spoiled him."
she said to herself as her mind went back to
the DAYS when Tom was her school friend,
before the Masons made their fortune in
Pennsylvania oil lands.
Certainly Tom Mason of old would not
have thought of marrying an affected, vain
girl like Geraldine How Salina has spoiled
that girl! Whew, there goes the ink all over
my letter. Now 1 shall have to write
other!"
But she didn't even begin another letter.
Instead she rose and flung on her coat and
hood preparatory to going out
I'm going up to the house, Aunt Sally"
she announced to her surprised servant "I'll
pretend I'm neighbor who wants to see the
lady of the place."
Pamela rang her own doorbell rather tim
idly, and was admitted BY tall. rather pale
girl in a skinny plaid dress.
The girl led her to the dining ROOM where
the other four were seated before an open
fire. In a deep-seated rocker, with a we'll
shawl about her thin shoulders, sat a
gauntlooking woman of middle age, who in
troduced herself as Mrs. Kensington rela-
tive-in-law of Miss Pamela
you are not very well, are your" Pamela
asked, as she accepted chair beside the fire.
I'm a great deal better than 1 was last
year." was the cheerful answer.
Miss Pamela left such kind note of well
come for us. She must be very nice per-
son.
20, yes" said Pamela with a flush Of
shame she remembered the Indifferent
wording of that reluctant note. well. must
go. Thank you for letting me warm up
hope you'll have real nice Christmas here"
She rushed out into the keen wintry day
in rage against herself and Salina and Jim,
who had combined in that shabby treatment of
the needy Kensingtons.
Outside of her gate she narrowly escaped
being run over by trig little cutter with two
occupants, one of whom she recognized with
a start of amazement as her old friend, Tom
Mason.
He looked exceedingly wellto-do in his fur
great coat and his smooth, blond face had a
fresh, boyish charm that made him look
much younger than he really was. for Pamela
knew that he was exactly her own age-31.
MAY I stop?" he asked, as he threw back
the lap robes. "The south-bound train ran OF
the track just below the station here and
took that opportunity to give myself the
pleasure Of calling YOU"
I'm not living there Just at present" said
Pamela, with a backward nod of her head
"but I'll be glad to have you go down to my
cabin with me. And o, do need sensible
advice Just this moment. and I'm avfully glad
to see you. Tom"
Seated before Aunt Sally's nicely laid table
in the leau-to kitchen, Pamela poured out the
story of the Kensingtons
do tell me what can do to ease my con-
