PRISONERS OF WAR 40 YEARS
Two Germans Captured by France in
1870 Have Just Been Released
From French Guiana.

Berlin.-A local paper describes the
tragedy of two German soldiers taken
prisoners of war in the Franco-Ger.
man campaign Of 1870, who have been
languishing in captivity 40 years.
Both were slightly wounded when
captured and were conveyed with
other prisoners to France. For some
reason unknown the two became sep
arated from the other prisoners, who
were released and sent back to Ger
many when the war ended.
Becoming somehow classified as
common criminals the two unfortu-
mates were deported to French
Guiana, where they remained In the
penal settlement until now, after 40
years. they have been released for
continuous good conduct and manag.
ed to work their way home. Both
found their wives alive, but one had
been remarked four years ago. The
paper, adds the report, will be laid be,
fore the German government in order
that a claim of compensation be made
on the French government.

Her Scheme Went AWry.

New York.-At a dinner last winter
one of New York's prominent bank
ers was dilating on the dangers of de-
ceit. By way of illustration he told
of a society woman who saw in a
jewelers. window a beautiful collar Of
pearls, which she wanted very much.
Upon inquiry she learned the price
was $4,000. Thereupon she gave her
check for $4,000, saying she would
send her husband to see the pearls,
and if he could be persuaded to buy
them he was to be told the price was
only $4,000.
The ieweler, being familiar with
that sort of game, readily agreed. The
husband called during the day to see
the pearls and that evening told his
wife he had bought them, since they
were evidently such a bargain. His
wife was more than delighted and I'M
mediately asked If he had brought
home the collar, to which he replied:
why no, my dear; l had it sent to
my mother. You know 1t Is her birth

DRIVING WITH ROCKEFELLER
Pleasant Recreation Provided for PEG.
Pile Of TarrytoWn by Their Famous
Fellow ToWnsman.

TarrytoWn, n. Y, May 1G.-To take
drive with John D. Rockefeller has
become a regular recreation this
spring for a great many of the friends
and neighbors of that famous resident
of Tarrytown, and he has increased
thereby his popularity among the peo-
pie of the little city. Not a pleasant
day goes by without the oil king in
viting some of them, men, women and
children, to ride with him in automo-
bile or carriage, and it is safe to say
that the invitations are seldom de-
clined, for his vehicles are the best
to be had, and the drives around Tar.
rytown are beautiful.
Mr.. Rockefeller, before starting for
a ride, always dons a paper vest, de-
claring it to be a great protection
against colds, and he insists that his
guests do the same. After the ride he
refuses to take back the garment, and
consequently in nearly every home in
Tarrytown may be found a paper vest
preserved as a souvenir of a delightful
ride with the multi-millionaire.
