OFFERS REWARD
FOR BOYS BODIES
Mayor Offers $25 and Justice
John Frees Diver Who Will
Search River Bottom.

Mayor d. c. Richardson Tuesday
morning offered reward OF SO for the
recovery of the bodies Of Make and
sydney Cohen, the little boys who were
drowned In James river Sunday after
noon and whose bodies have not yet
been found.
Justice John j. Crutchfleld of the
police court released from the city jail,
where he was serving q sentence for
some trivial offense, Varney Hockey,
an expert driver and swimmer, upon
the promise that Hockey would go i'm
mediately to the river and begin a
ceaseiess search for the bodies OF the
children. The ex-prisoner was glad of
the opportunity to escape from Jail
and started to work in the afternoon.
Men In row boats with long poles
that are driven into every deep hole In
the river above Mayo.s Bridge were
at work all OF Monday and Tuesday.
but no trace of the bodies was found.
Divers went down in the deep water
and the banks have been closely scam
ed.
And in the meanwhile a distracted
mother and an almost Frustrated faith
err anxiously await news. concerning
their children who were SO suddenly
snatched from them Mrs. Cohen has
been inconsolable and the cries Of her
infants but accentuate her grief. Mr..
Cohen, who was saved from drowning
only by the heroic work OF fourteen
year-oid Earl Nicholas. is recovering
from the wounds he received as he
was dashed over the Jagged rocks in
the rushing current.
Nets were placed in the river Mon
day night and these were hauled up
very often, but no trace OF the bodies
could be found 1t Is the opinion OF
rfvermen at this time that the boys.
being naked. and 80 small, were swept
down the stream for perhaps a mile
and that their bodies will not be To-
Gated until they rise to the top of the
water.

National Bank OF Virginia to move
into its new quarters from it's present
home at Eleventh and Main streets

Another Merger Same Date.
On the same day. the National
State Bank and the City Bank OF
Richmond will also become one insti-
tuition under the name OF the National
state and City Bank according TO
plans already approved by stockholders
OF these banks. The quarters OF the
National State, which Is to be the home
OF the greater bank. are now being re-
arranged to suit the changed condi l.
tons. and within the next day or two a
door will be cut In the wall separating
the two banks. so that the two quarters
may be in closer touch with each other,

His Danger.
In these days of almost pre-eminent
German music and musicians it is
rather amusing to read the opinions Of
former generations concerning Teu-
tonic singers.
Frederick the Great was so impo-
litely unpairiotic as to declare that be
would rather hear the neighing Of a
horse than the singing Of German
prima donna. Perhaps In his day there
was some excuse for such a remark.
but the times have changed.
There is a diverting anecdote of an
Italian who was convinced that no
German could sing. A friend induced
him to go to the opera where Hen
riette Sontag sang. After hearing her
first aria the Italian got up to go. The
friend urged him to stay, assuring him
that he would be convinced soon.

How He Won Her.

A man who married his stenogra-
pher won her through sheer persisten-
cy. Although it was evident to the
wooer that the young woman did not
regard him entirely without favor. he
found it extremely difficult to get her
to listen to his plea. The stenographer
refused to lunch. sup or go to the the
alter with her admirer. Finding every
avenue Of approach blocked. the de-
termined courier, who possessed some
literary facility, wrote a short love
story, in which the girl and he were
the leading figures. This story he sent
to the stenographer every morning for
a month and ordered her to typewrite
it for him. She dared not refuse to
do as her employer commanded, and.
realizing through the story that he
would never give up until she married
him, she finally acquiesced.-Chicago

There are some solid hoofed hogs In
the world. but they are few and far
between. Darwin has a great deal to
say about such pigs in his Origin of
Species" as there were only three In
England at the time he wrote this
book. The solid hoofed hog is not q
freak of nature, as many suppose, but
a genuine case of reversion to a print
tive or ancestral type. 1t seems that,
unlike the prehistoric ancestor Of the
modern horse, which has four toes or
hoofs, the old clotherium, from which
animal all members of the swine fam
fly are descended, had a solid hoof.
and in the course Of ages. as the old
parent form died out and the modern
wild boar. domestic hog. peccary, etc..
were evolved this solid hoof became
through what Darwin calls "adapta-
ton" and natural selection" divided
up into two parts, so that all modern
hogs are cloven hoofed. Occasionally.
however, a hog is born with the old
original solid hoof of the primitive hog
ancestor, thus demonstrating the tend
ency in all animals to revert now and
then to the parent form.
