told a Republic representative
four years ago some of her un-
usual experiences:
Mrs. Samuels, who was nearly
6 feet tall and broad shouldered,
while appearing courageous and
determined, talked in low tones,
and evidenced that she was rear
ed amid refinement. She was
educated at a convent in LeXing-
ton, KY, Her maiden name was
Zerelda Cole. Her grandfather
was soldier in the American
Revolution, and her mothers
name was Lindsay, of a famous
Kentucky family.

To cook potato pie at the top of a

doubted Johns statemant regarding

YOUNG BEAVERS DAYS WORK
Record Made by One Of the Animals
In Regents Park Gardens,

A young beaver In Regents Park
gardens, London, was once placed at
work upon tree 12 feet long and 2
feet 6 inches thick just as the town
clocks sounded the hour OF noon. The
beaver began by barking the tree a
foot above the ground
Chat done he attacked the wood
He worked hard, alternating his labor
with dips in his bathing pond. He
bathed and labored alternately until
4 o'clock in the afternoon when he
ate his supper Of bread and carrots
and padded about In his pond until
half-past s O'Clock.
Ten minutes later, whSu only one
inch Of the trees diameter remained
intact, he bore upon his work and the
tree fell Before it fell the beaver
ran as men run when they have fired
a blast. Then as the tree lay on the
ground he portioned it out mentally
and again began to gnaw.
He worked at intervals all night,
cut the log into three parts, rolled
two Of the portions into the water
and reserved the other third for his
permanent shelter The work done,
he took bath.-Harper5s Weekly.
