MoDtrose Mail Robber Caught.

Montrose, the capitol of our
neighhoring county, Susquehanna,
has finally captured postoffice
robber. Deputy U. S. Marshall
Hugh Evans and Postoftice Inspector
w. A. Rose have been on his trail
for some time.
Despite their presence in the town
the thefts continued. Decoy letters
proved useless, and the method en-
ployed was soon discovered to be
different from any the department
had known. On Thursday last
Samuel Lewis, porter at Montrose
hotel, was arrested, and the authori-
ties declare the mystery is solved.
1t is charged that when he went
for the hotel mail he thrust his lean
arm, slender wrist and long fingers
through the postoftice box rented by
the hotel and distracted letters from
adjacent boxes, taking a chance OF
finding money in them. He was
sent to Jail in default of bail.

Couldn't Live on Wind.

A pastor of a Methodist church
in Westchester, o., who had re-
ceived only $14 salary in twelve
weeks, during which time his wife
was sick, and they both lived on
BUTTERFLIES bread, with water for a
beverage, finally became desperate
and told his congregation, from the
pulpit, what he thought of them.
In the course of his remarks he
said:
Because of your treatment my
wife's mind temporarily gave way
and she would now be an inmate OF
an asylum had l not made study
OF medicine. In twelve weeks
received but $14 from you on my
salary, long overdue. You neg
lected me. You were all aware o.
my condition. You seemed to thinl
that because / am a preacher

ID. Il IL. Output Not Reduced.

While the anthracite shipments
by the leading coal roads for the
first quarter of the current calen-
dar year showed an increase to the
extent of 1,2O3,719 tons, as COM
pared with 1908, the gain was
more than Offset by the falling off
to the amount of 2,320,69S tons, in
the second quarter; so that the half
year showed a decrease of 1,177,679
tons as compared with the cores
ponding half year in 1908.
With the exception of the Della
ware and Hudson all of the coal
companies have materially reduced
their output. Strangely enough, the
Delaware and Hudson road was one
of the only two companies in the
first quarter to show a decrease in
shipments and the only one to show
an increase in the second quarter.

In the monthly issue of the above
named magazine for August, we
find the following:
In a divorce case recently in
stituted in the Circuit Court of
Baltimore the defendants sworn
answer contains the following:
No. 4. Concerning paragraph No.
of plaintiffs bill, this defendant
says that he denies that he has
treated the plaintiff with great
cruelty, harshly and brutally, or
that he attempted to take her life,
but, on the contrary, says the plain
tiff on numerous occasions, has
threatened to take his life, and on
several occasions carried her threats
into execution"
The administration of justice in
Germany is characterized by a
pompous accuracy that sometimes
produces curious results. In a GER
tain village there is an ordinance re-
quiring all ladders to have a special
kind of top-piece. Not long since
a burglar, who attempted to effect
an entrance into a house by the
use of a ladder which he found in
the yard, fell from the ladder and
broke a leg. On being hailed into
court he was meted out due and
proper punishment, but, as the lad
der was found not to be equipped
with the required top-piece, the own.
er was required to pay the burglars
hospital expenses and damages fol
the jury.

Bees.

Bees were unknown to the Indians,
and they were brought over from Eng
land only few years after the land
ing oS the pilgrim fathers. 1t was
more than two centuries after the first
white invasion of New England, how
ever. before modern beekeeping began
The industry of the present day dates
from the invention of the movable
frame hive by I.angstreth in 1852.

Do you believe 1t is bad luck to
kill a cat? Do you think your hair
will grow better If you have 1t cut
when the moon is full? Do you
dread sitting down at table with
twelve others? If you put your
night robe on wrong side out, do
you think that good occasion to
wish?
If you do, or if you have any one
of the thousand other superstltlons
that have ever been heard OF, you
are not alone in your belief. FRO
fessor F. B. Dresslar, who has Just
left the University of California for
the University of Alabama, finished
before he went away a series OF ex-
periments in which he put such ques-
tions as these to SIS students in
California; normal schools. These
S75 made 1926 confessions of be-
lief in different superstitions.
OF the students questioned about
80 per cent. were girls, but Profess
sor Dresslar says the men believed
in superstitions just about as much
as the women did.
All kinds of superstitions were
found by Professor Dresslar in his
investigations. To find a four-leaf
clover would bring good luck, wrote
% out of 81 students. Forty-four
out of 81 thought it would bring
good luck to see the new moon over
the right shoulder. There were lib
who had heard that it was bad luck
to break a looking glass and 65 be-
lieved the idea to be true. A knife
or any edged instrument given a
friend would cut the friendship, said
65 out of 80, and 35 out of n were
Just as sure that picking up pin
would be followed by good luck. To
open an umbrella in the house would
bring bad luck, thought 27, but there
were 81 others who were quite posi-
tive there was nothing in this at
all.
Dropping the dishrag meant the
coming of company said great
many. Half the students who had
heard that a horseshoe would in
sure good luck believed it to be
true. That Friday was bad day
on which to start a journey and thai
thirteen was very unlucky num-
ber, were more common supersti'
tions that received support from the
students. For two friends to walk
on opposite sides of post was just
as fatal to the friendship as ex'
changing knives, declared AZ out
of 81.
All sorts of funny superstition:
were unearthed by the professor.
One young maiden wrote: "If
put my nightgown on wrong by mis-
take and leave it so, the wish
make will come true" Another
wrote that it was bad luck for two
people to use the same towel withou
twisting it. ''If you fall up stairs
you will be sure to get a letter,
was a third opinion. One though
it very bad luck to see cross-eyet
negro, while another thought i
very bad indeed to be welded il
May.
A number of ways of getting riC
of warts were given, from tellin.
ones aunt the number possessed
down to burying a dead cat in
black stocking. One way of get
ting rid of the marks-quite popu
lar this one-was to steal a piec
of dishrag and rub it on them. Blu
the dishrag positively had to b
stolen. Gotten any other way,
would be no good
ic to
lish a book on the subject of super
stition.

The PaIolo,

That remarkable worm of the Poly

seems to regulate its periodical ap-
pearances for the purposes of repro
duction by the moon. The natives
predict the annual appearance Of the
palolo by observing the lunar phases.

Cigarette Gets In Its Work.

Chicago Especially The balefui
cigarette stump of the genus which
is said to have caused the Fort
Worth fire, endangered the lives of
between $50 and 500 workingmen,
when the Waverly Hotel, sol South
Clark Street caught fire. Several of
the dodgers were overcome by smoke
and had to be carried out by 1iremen.
The hotel, which is four-story
building, is used as clearinghouse
for workingmen, and was crowded
with sleeping roomers at the time.
The fire started in the room where
the blankets and bedding are kept,
it is believed, from smouldering
cigarette. The upper floors of the
building were we'll filed with smoke
before the fire was discovered, but
