along the road instead OF spending the
thine under the shady trees next to the
lemonade bucket.
The Baldwin boys down at Quincy
have been written and arrangements
may be made for q captive balloon in
which to carry the picnicers, long

VANDERBILT PIGS ARE SOLD.
Millionaire Quits Raising Berkshires
 on North Carolina Estate.

Asheville, N. C.-George W. Wander bilt has learned from dozen years of experience that while it is pleasant to be a gentleman farmer and live in a French chateau, surrounded by white stone roads, and have Jerseys and blooded horses grazing on thousands of acres of meadows, and thousands of chickens in the poultry yards. and Berkshire pigs of long lineage eating the corn his high-salaried experts grow, it does not pay in dollars and cents.
 Therefore he cut down the poultry yard several months ago, stopped the raising of dogs. and now it is an nounced he has sold his fancy pigs and will cease raising Berkshires because vain were the persistent efforts to make the piggery pay.
 The pigs have been sold to w. J. Cooke of Asheville, another amateur stock raiser.

POLAR FLOW CAUGHT

and electricity are now conceded to be the fundamental principle of all life on this planet. The relation between electricity and magnetism can be de- fined by saying that electricity is mag netism concentrated, and magnetism is electricity diffused.
 While the Bachelet invention at present is useful principally for the cure of various diseases, it is stated that the application of the method to catch and utilize .he magnetic polar waves will eventually open up a vast field for other scientific study.
 In the North American Journal of Homeopathy for January Dr. Theodore c. Virgins, prominent Brooklyn physician, published ar interesting article of the Bachelet invention, and gave instances of cures that have been made by it.
 Dr. Bachelet is in Washington for the purpose of securing patents on his invention, which have already been granted. The machine will be pro- tected by patent in all the countries of the world, but the inventor intends, according to a statement he made last evening to allow it's use by the medi- cal profession

WINNER GETS DIVORCE.
Land Office Must Decide If She Quit

Platte. s. D-The officials of the federal land office must decide whether Mary A. Melser, who won No 1 in the great Tripp county land drawing last fa1I, has traded off her husband for her $40,000 prize, or whether her for tune has come to relieve her at a time when she was about to be left without support
 Mrs. Melser was granted a divorce here upon the grounds of desertion.
 It was while on a visit to her parents in Lyman county that Mrs. Melser learned of her good fortune At the time it was wondered whether, as married woman, she would be entitled to file on the land since she had not obtained divorce.
 But she asserted that she had not lived with Melser since June, 1907; that she had given him up, and that she had supported herself since the separation, and the divorce was

DEVOTE LIVES TO TWO LEPERs.
Parents Spend Fortune Hiding Dis ease of Sons and Nursing Them.

Galevston, TeX.-A pltiful case of parental devotion and self-sacrifice has been brought to light by the discovery of two cases of leprosy in this city. The victims are brothers, one 31 years of age and the other IS. and they are sons of MT. and Mrs. James Younger, who for nearly twelve years have kept the secret of their sons affiiction from the public and have practically kept them prisoners in their home.
 Twelve years ago the family was comfortably well to do, when the eld- est son contracted the loathsome dis ease and became a prisoner in the home. The parents cared for him and sacredly guarded their secret Five years ago the other son was stricken. Both are declared to be beyond cure
 The expense of caring for the two lepers was a constant drain upon the resources of the family, and their last piece of property the homestead, is about to be sold for taxes. With the discovery of the lepers by the authori- ties the aged parents, realizing their hopeless fight, are willing to have them sent to an institution for treat ment.

EGG REVEALS GOLD
HAS MAP SHOWING SPOT OF BURIED TREASURE ON SHELL.
Ezra Delivers One Dollar for Gypsy Wares and Gets Wonderful Sc cret in Return for His
 Money.

Tyson, Vt.-Ezra Burt who lives about a mile east of the Corners, has a hen which no amount of money will l buy It is a scrawny, Happening fowl with bedraggled feathers and a semi-bald head, and what is more it has laid only one egg in it's ertire two years existence Still, old Betsy, as the hen is called, has niche in Ez- ra's heart, and gets the very best grain the farm affords.
 The secret of all this is that the one egg Betsy laid contained on it's shell a raised water-line map of the spot where old Jeremiah Burt, Ezras great-grandfather, buried his gold at the time of the revolutionary war, and with the aid of this map Ezra recov- cred the treasure. Just how much this was no one has been able to find out, but it is known that the mortgage on the farm has been paid off and the Burt family is living in comfort.
 The Burts gave up hunting for the secreted wealth 40 years ago, after they had searched and dug until they were tired out. They knew that the paternal Burt sunk his gold some where in the earth, and went off to war without telling his family where he had placed it, further than that it was on the farm.
 Last summer a gypsy came along selling beads and faces and offered to go into a trance and solve the treasure riddle provided Ezra bought a dol lars worth of her wares. Burt took up the offer and in her trance the woman said that some day an old scrawny hen would lay an egg in which would be found a map. If this were followed the treasure would be found. Ezra thought he was "stung," but he paid the dollar.
 Nothing more happened until month ago, when Betsy was found in the wood box behind the kitchen stove. Mortified at the idea of having a hen in her kitchen, Mrs. Burt shooed her out, and was surprised to find an egg nestling in the shavings. The egg had peculiar raised lines on the shell, and Ezra was called. He remembered the prophecy of the gypsy and care fully studied the shell. Sure enough there was a map w.th a little star at the base of an old maple tree in the sugar orchard.
 With a pick and shovel Burt set forth and an hour later returned with discolored copper soap kettle heavy with gold The family kept the secret until the mortgage was paid, when it became common property. All efforts to get Ezra to tell how much money he found in the kettle have failed

WEARY WILLIEs" SHEAR CLEAR
 OF BURLINGTON, N. J.
Policeman Mccormick Solves Problem of Handling Case-Free Gentry by Putting Them to Work
 Cleaning Streets.

Burlington, N. J.-All hail Police man Joseph Mccormick! The feats of Horatius, who kept the bridge and other heroes of ancient history are naught compared to the brave deed he accomplished and, to think of it, single-handed, too
 What did Officer Mccormick do to earn all this praise? Why, he tackled the tramp problem single-handed and now tramps tramping through Jersey are heard singing Gee, But This Is a Lonesome Town" as they steer away from the city of Burlington.
 The town has been worried by tramps for the past few months. They would apply to the lodging house con ducted by the city, obtain a hearty meal, a good bed and then, with a courteous Thank you, leave the place next morning.
 Many were caught ringing is, trying to return the same evening and work the stunt all over again Then Mccormick took affairs in hand Seeing the matter required careful thought he asked for a two-weeks' va cation, that he might not be disturbed in fighting municipal wrong.
 The chief of police was aghast when Mccormick made his request, as his absence would deplete the force and the other policemen in the town would have double patrol duty to do. but granted the request.
 In few days he was back on the job, smile of satisfaction spread over his countenance. The tramp problem was solved
 Tramps who applied for lodging and supper were surprised at the kind way in which they were received Never in all their tramp lives had they been escorted to the supper table with such grace.
 Then came a cot and then breakfast in the morning.
 Immediately after their morning re- past they were conducted to the city's dirtiest streets, given a broom and told to sweep. One who rebelled was immediately given ten days in the city jail The rest decided that discretion was the better part of valor
 The tale spread. Every tramp in the state soon heard of the methods of Burlington. in treating the tramp problem.
 Needless to say the town is free from tramps for the first time in many years.
