LIGHTNING CAME BY PHONE

While the sun was shining the other
day at Clinton, n. j., and there was no
indication of an electrical storm, a
bolt of lightning struck a liberty pole
in front of hotel shattering the shaft
and soaring q team of mules so badly
that they ran two miles The team
was tied to a ring attached to the pole,
which was thirty feet high After the
animals had been stopped it was found
that the bolt of lightning which had
shattered the pole had also melted the
iron shoes from each of the mules
Otherwise they were uninjured. The
source of the lightning bolt puzzled all
the local electrical experts and me-
teOrologists. but after investigation ii
was found that telephone wire run
ming from Singac passed so close to
the flag pole as to touch it. At the
time the pole was struck a fierce thun.
der storm was raging in the vicinity
of Singac, and the theory is that
lightning striking the telephone wire
in the storm zone, Travelled over the
cable until it encountered the unin-
sulated liberty pole, where the full
force of the bolt was spent.

HOARD IN A FLOATING LOG

A party of campers from Seattle
were hauling a gigantic cedar log up
on the beach of Lake Washington to
be converted into firewoOd when what
appeared to be huge plug attracted
their attention. One ran for the axe
and the log was split into two pieces.
The plug acted as a door of safety
vault where some logger twenty years
ago had hidden his savings. There
were 5000 in gold, SOS in silver and
$500 in currency. The name, though,
dim, on the post office money orders
appears to be Claude Parsons or Par
ker, and they are payable in the post
Office at Fan Claire, Wis. The money
orders are dated April. 1891
Efforts will be made to find the
rightful owner of the hoard. Many stO-
ries are told of the prodigality with
which loggers handled their money
in the halcyon days of logging A
favOrite bank was to put boom
augur hole in a big stump Into this
hole was put the gold, silver and pa
per and a big plug driven into the
hole The plug was then sawed off
plumb with the bark and the wealth
left until wanted. Many of these i'm
provised banks were swept away by
foods or destroyed in forest fires.

RODENT HAS MONEY TO BURN

A pet red squirrel belonging to Otto
Speltz, farmer, Of Bellingham, Wash.
has been under surveillance ever since
he was discovered tearing a s. Canad-
ian bill to pieces. Speltz rescued the
money and sent it to ottawa for re
demption.
He had no more than despatched
the letter containing the shreds OF the
five than the squirrel was found play
ing with a piece of a United States
$40 bill.
Speltz garnered this money in be-
fore it was too damaged for barter,
and is now watching the movements of
his pet. 1t Is believed the rodent has
discovered hidden hoard laid away
in past years by miser or cached by
a robber in a hollow tree and found

WHEN THE DEAD RETURN

This is a story of mistaken identity
Of remarkable character. Mary McGon-
lyle was struck by a trolley car in
New York last April and died shortly
afterwards in a hospital. On notifica-
ton from the coroner, her relatives
came to view the body and she was
identified by her son, her sister, her
brother and a cousin; a burial permit
was issued in the name of Mary Nc
Gonigle; an insurance company paid
S117 on the life of Mary McGonigle;
the traction company paid $3.50 for the
funeral of Mary McGonigle; the body
of Mary McGonigle now lies in Cal
vary cemetery.
Late one night recently Mary Nc
Gonigle in the flesh walked into her
sisters home
To say there was surprise at her
visit would understate the emotions of
the relatives. The sister screamed;
the brother dropped his new clay pipe
and a small niece tainted. Mrs. Nc
Gonigle herself was surprised but
pIdCIu, she Hdu AoI Iedu IHe HeWspd-
pers, and did not know that she was
supposed to be dead
Then came explanations. Mary Nc
Gonigle had been buried all right. but
it was the wrong Mary. The living
woman is in private service and her
address fiuctuates with her employ
ment. The dead woman who bears
such an extraordinary resemblance to
her was no relative, but had known
her and had given her address to the
hospital The undertaken who buried
the late Mary, was summoned to view
the living Mary. Il never saw such a
resemblance, he gasped. and I've
buried many"

LESS LIQUOR IN SCOTLAND
Citizens of Edinburgh Congratulate
Themselves on Satisfactory Re-
port of Chief Constable.

Edinburgh people are congratula-
ting themselves on the satisfactory
nature Of the report just issued by
the chief constable for the city for
the year 1909 It shows that during
that year arrests for drunkenness,
crime and disorders of all kinds were
fewer than they have been since re
liable statistics of this kind have
hcen kept by the authorities.
The total number of persons ar
rested fer all kinds of offenses. drunk
enness included, was 13.411 in 1909,
as compared with 1929 in 1908, a de
crease of 1,SGS. That the poorer
people in Edinburgh seem to be get
ting more sober is shown by the
fact that whereas in 1908 the num-
Der Of persons arrested for being
drunk and incapable drunk and dis
orderly or drunk in charge Of chill
dren or vehicles was 1881, the num-
Der last year fell to 1921, a decrease
of 1910.
Much speculation has been INDUCED
in as to the causes which have led
to this welcome decrease of drunken
ness in Edinburgh and it may be said
that the same decrease has been
noted in other large towns in the
country. The extra duty on spirits
imposed by the budget was undoubt-
eddy as the chancellor of the ex-
chequer now knows to his cost, fol-
lowed by an almost immediate de-
crease in the consumption of whisky.

CRIME AND DRINK IN CANADA
Statistics Show That Convictions Due
20 Liquor Has Increased
Considerably.

Criminal statistics for the year end
ed September, 1906, have Just been
issued by the census bureau at Otta-
wa. They look somewhat antiquated
now, but as they are the latest avail
able, some of the facts given are still
of interest. The figures deal sep
arably with indictable offences and
summary convictions, the latter refer
ring to cases disposed of by justices
of the peace. British Columbia, Mani
tOba and Ontario show a crime record
remarkable figures relate to the mari
time provinces. where the Scott act is
in force in most counties, but cspeci-
ally Prince Edward island, the only
province in the dominion with pro-
vincial prohibition. Ontario's crime
ratio for 10000 of the population
shows a gradual increase: 1S97-190O,
12.94;19O01905, 1888: 1906, 1889
OF the total number Of persons con-
victed during the fiye-year period end
ing with 1905 there was an average of
Sc per cent who used liquor moder-
ately and 33 per cent. who were i'm
moderate drinkers For the second
period ending with 1905 there was an
average of GO per cent. moderate and
2S immoderate drinkers. as compared
with 81 per cent moderate and % per
cent. moderate drinkers for 1906. The
balance of the 100 in each period were
either nondrinkers or not given.
Dealing with summary convictions,
which are for offences such as as
saults, breaches of the peace, infrac-
lions of various laws. such as liquor
license act etc. and such other Of
fences as vagrancy, drunkenness, and
disorderly conduct, the report states
that the number of summary convic-
tions has increased considerably
throughout the several provinces dur
ing the last five years.
During the years ending with 1905,
drunkenness represented about 80 per
cent of the total summary convictions,
as compared with 40 per cent. for the
year 1906 Out of the total number Of
persons convicted for drunkenness,
ItHIdIc OHtuueIS represented c'oi per
cent for the ten years ending with
1905 as against $40 per cent. for the

lions for drunkenness of each prov
