MODEL CITY ORPHAN
Burrage, Mass, Abandoned and
$4,000 Tax Overdue.
Place Started Only Three Years Ago
by MuItimiIIionaire with Great
Rush of Industries, Now
Lacks Owner.

Boston.-The selectmen, tax collec.
tor, constable and other officials of
Hanson have been prying for months
into records, interviewing people, and
even employing detectives to find an
owner for Burrage, a town in Ply.
mouth county. But no owner has
been found, and now the residents are
looking to one man to solve the vex.
ing problem for them.
That man is Albert C. Burrage, a
multimillionaire. For this town, now
an orphan among the villages of the
state, is all that is left of the copper
mans famous model town" scheme
of only three years ago.
| In accordance with the plans of its
owner, there were erected factories,
houses, hotel, railroad station and
several big power plants The factor
les were started, and the cottages
were filled with employees.
Then things began to go wrong in
the factory of the Metal Foil Com
pany, one of the names under which
the community was becoming known
to the business world. This trouble
became SO serious that after six
months of uncertainty the factory was
shut down. AS result, half of the
tenants of the new model" houses
left town.
Other mishaps followed until, year
and a half ago, SO the citizens of Han
son say, Burrage was suddenly and

the shutters drawn in the 80 or more

Mr.. Burrage denies that he has q

The Hanson Manufacturing Company

to be paid for the keep" of this or

money.

PR0DIGIoUs TOOTH is FOUND.
Much Larger Than Those of Either
Mastodon or Mammoth-Dug Up
Near Sycamore, III.

Chicago.-The tooth of some pre-
historic mammoth animal in an excel
lent state of preservation was brought
to Chicago the other day for tenn
porary exhibition in the Field mu-
scum. None of the scientists who
have viewed the tooth have been able
to determine to what sort of an ami

The relic of a forgotten age was
found by Alex Stroberg on his farm
near Sycamore, ILL., When examined
carefully 1t was found to weigh more
than ten pounds and measured almost
a foot in diameter. 1t was said 1t had

in the flesh of Dusan Nedin, Hun
garian leather worker, without his
knowledge. The discovery was made
at the City hospital
Nedin was admitted to the hospital
suffering from an aneurism of the
fermoral artery
Interest of the doctors was at once
attracted to the case A study was
made of Nedin's case. The patient
was submitted to the X-rays. To the
establishment of the doctors the shad-
owy outlines of foreign substance
was shown in the aneurism at Nedin's
thigh. The patient was questioned
through an interpreter. After being
prodded with questions and racking
his brain Nedin remembered that

Half from Inheritances.

Washington.-Tha the income tax
OF Great Britain, which has been In
force almost continuously since 1912,
yielded more revenue in the last fiscal

tax produced for the government
$1G5,0OO,O0O, being levied on popula-
ton of 44,500,000 while the Inherit

from taxation, and graduated abate.
ments are allowed on incomes between
$1,000 and $3,400 The income tax is
levied on profits accruing from lands,

MRS. C. G. BENNETT,

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get

it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
