A Or. Johnson Story.

DR.. Johnson had some IDEAS on edr-
cation. especially on that diversion
known as learning II piece by heart"
One day Mrs. Gastrel set little girl
to repeat to him Cato's soliloquy,
which she went through very correct
ly The doctor, after parse. asked
the child. what was TO bring Cato
to an end?" She said II was knife,
mo. my dear. 1t was not So My
Aunt Polly said 1t was knife"
"Why. Aunt Polly's knife may do. bur
It was dagger, my dear" He then
asked her the meaning of "bane" and
''antidote." which she was unable TO
give. Mrs. Gastrel said, You cannot
expect so young a child TO know the
meaning of such words" He then
said. MY dear. how many pence are
there in sixpenceY II cannot tell.
SIR" was the half terrified reply. On
this, addressing himself to Mrs Gas
trel. he said. Now. my dear lady. can
anything be more ridiculous than to
tench a child Cato soliloquy who
does not know how many pence there
are In sixpence"

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER

Rockford, Ill.,, Feb. 14-The case of
Clinton st. Clair, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Mary L. Mcintosh,
was called for trial today. Mrs. Nc
Intosh, an aged recluse, was found
murdered in the little cottage where
she lived alone on the morning of Jan
21 last Her body was terribly mu-
tilated. The woman was reputed to
be rich and robbery is supposed to
have furnished the motive for the
crime.
On the day after the murder the po
lice found letter addressed by Clin-
ton st. Clair to friend in Stillman
Valley. 1ne letter was written on
some crumpled paper which was rec
ognized as having come from Mrs. Nc
lntosh's home. ST. Clair at first as
serted his innocence, but when con-
fronted with the tell-tale letter he is
said to have confessed that he had
killed the woman, thinking that the
$1,000 she was known to possess
was kept in her house. Subsequent
ly he repudiated the alleged confess
sion and when arraigned in court
pleaded not guilty to the charge of
murder.

.SCOUR SEAS FOR
NAVAL TUG NINA
Now Believed Entire Grew Per-
iShed In Gale.

Norfolk, Va. Feb. II. - The nPyal
tug Nina, which left the Norfolk navy
yard for Boston a week ago, is still
missing. The battleship Louisiana and
the cruiser Birmingham. which were
dispatched from the Norfolk navy
yard to join in the search for her,
have been heard from by wireless.
Both vessels are proceeding carefully
over that portion of the route of the
tug which was assigned to them to
search.
No one familiar with the navigation
OF the seas cntertains much nope that
the tug Is still afloat, and the chances
of the rescue of the crew by some
other vessel are minimized by the
fact that vessel of the type Of TIE
Nina In laundering would go down
quickly, and likely without much
warning.

The Martinsburg schools were re-

session for two weeks. The schools
were closed on account of the small
pox scare which occurred in chat viii
lage, but as no new CASES of the dis

will not, it was deemed wise by the
directors to open the schools again.
The churches were also opened for

Event In The Lives Of A
MillGrSburg Couple

Millersburg, o., Feb. 14-An event
that very seldom occurs with married
couples has just taken place here, and
this was the celebrating of the 66th
wedding anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob Cherryholmes, of this place.
Mr.. Cherryholmes is nearly 80 years
of age and his wife five years young
er, and they were married February
8, 1874, and have always resided in
Millersburg, where Mr.. Cherryholmes
was engaged in active business from
early in the forties up until old age
forbade him the work incident to ac-
tive business life.
In speaking of his life, Mr.. Cherry
holmes said he came here in 1842, on
horseback and that when he married
in 1914 they made no wedding trip,
for two reasons; one was a lack of
funds" and the other was bad roads,"
which prevented walking. Mr.. Cher
ryholmes is an ardent Democrat and
cast his first vote for Polk in 1874.
He served two terms as county
treasurer and was appointed trus-
tee of the Deaf and Dumb school by
Governor Hoadly and reappointed by
Governor Foster. Both are active for
people of their years. When they
celebrated their golden wedding, 16
years ago, they could not have been
made believe that they would cele
brate 16 more anniversaries, but such
is the case.
They are both severe in their de-
nunciations of SO many who hold such
slight reverance for the marriage re.
lations and are astounded that there
is one divorce to about eight marriag.
