A conpliment For Him.

She was eighteen and very shy, and
she never had been in the city before.
There was no one at Broad street STE
tion to meet her, and she looked about
timidly for cab. Her mother had
told her TO take hanson. She did
not see any hanson. nor did she
know that the "epbbies" wore livery
all their own. She did not see police
man either, so she approached youth
who was standing on the corner of
Fifteenth street with her bashful ques-
tion.
"Please," she began, "are you han
som manT
The youth raised his hend and
twrled his mustache ingratiatingly,
smiling with deprecating assumption
of modesty.
81 am so considered" he replied
Philadelphia Times.

Akron. o., Jan. 10.-In an effort to
reduce the number OF divorce cases
in Summit county Common Pleas
Judges Doyle and Wanamaker today
announced that no divorce cases based
on gross neglect would be heard un-
less the charge covers a period Of

vorce laws of Ohio. declaring that in
many cases they are ambiguous, in
definite and inconsistent, during an
interview after the ruling was an
nounced. He also declared that it is
unnecessary for anyone living in Ohio
who desires an easy divorce to go to
Reno or North Dakota.

Japs VIII Eat Rice.

Manila, Jan. 10.-Another 100, 900
ton order Of rice by the Japanese was
reported here today. This prepara-
tion on the part of the japanese is in
explicable TO Americans here on any
other theory than that Japan is pre-
pairing for the contingencies of a war.
The new rice order was placed in Bur-
nah.
Yesterdays Japanese cables told Of
a 100.0 ton order of rice of the Sal

OLD LONDON LEGEND.


Of Forty Footsteps.
The church in Woburn square, Lon.
don, is said TO occupy the site Of the
"Eield of Forty Footsteps" TO which
tragic legend attaches The story
dates from the days of Moumouth's
rebellion. According to the version
given in Mr.. J. S. Ogilvy's "Relics and
Memorials of London Town." two
brothers fell In love with n woman who,
either from callous vanity or fearing
rcprisals from the unsuccessful suitor,
would not say which was TO be the
favored swain, suggesting that they
should fight duel and to the victor
she would give her charms. They
came from the town to this suburban
field. The woman calmly sat down to
await events. She had not long to
wait, judging from the number of foot
prints, when one of the brothers fell
dead, and as the victor approached
she held out her arms to greet him,
when, with sudden revulsion of feel
ing for his brothers death, he slew her
as she stood, and, turning the weapon,
he drove It through his own heart. SO
they were found stiff in death with
the footprints stamped in the wet
clay, where they remained indelible
through summer heat and winter
frost; no green thing would grow
nor any man build himself dwelling
there. Streets were erected all round,
but 1t was not until the nineteenth
century that men took heart of grace
and built church there, when the
consecration of the ground rolled back
the curse and the memory of the leg
end grew faint and faded away.

NEXT DOORS FRUIT TREE.
The One Whose Branches Extend
Over the Fence Into Your Yard.

Over the Fence Into Your Yard.
The next door fruit tree. growing so
near the line that laden branches eX-
tend over the fence, has proved
source of untold spankings to the
small boy. quarrcls between otherwise
good neighbors and even resort to the
police courts. one ~ inclined to sus-
pect that the original apple tree Of
trouble hung over neighbours fence.
The cause OF friction Is, of course.
the question of the ownership of or at
least the right TO take and use the
fruit on the too widely spread
branches. Generally this fruit is
claimed by the person whose property
is thus invaded. but If he asserts this
claim to the point of gathering the
fruit without permission hc may feel
the iron hand of the law. says Har-
per's Weekly. If he objects to the
presence of the branches which extenR
over his property the owner oG. tile
tree must remove them. Buff the
owner of the tree applies fol, ,Jdle fruit
or asks permission TO -entereand take Il
the owner of the land over which the
branches extend cannot refuse permis-
sion for entry for this purpose. If lie
refuses either to hand over the fruit
or 10 allow the owner of the tree TO
enter and take IL, then the owner Of
the tree may enter without permission,
but he must use no force nor commit
any damage in so entering.
Certainly the most ncighborly thing
to do would be to divide that fruit.

Wheeler plsaruntled, but Hopeful.

Columbus, O., Jan. 11.-Wayne B.
Wheeler superintendent Of the Anti
Saloon league, issued this statement:
"The large majority of the temper
ance committee in the house is decid-
edly wet. The Anti-Saloon league did
not ask for a temperance committee
that would smother bills. They did
ask for fair committee, and such a
committee was promised to our
friends in the house. The appoint
ment of partisan wet committee
means a hard fight. We believe, how
ever, that majority OF the legisla-
ture will represent the public sentl-
ment of the state and refuse to
amend the county option law"

The charred bodies of the Piatt
brothers were found in the ruins of
their farm house nearly a fortnight

to have been burned to death. An
investigation by Sheriff John Eckart
of Scioto county however, showed
bullet holes in the two skulls and the
coroner. later returned a verdict of
murder.
Sheriff Eckhart learned that
threats had been made against the
Piatts and has been quietly investl-
eating the case since.
Nichols was arrested at his home
and brought here in an automobile.
1t is declared two other arrests will
be made today but Sheriff Eckhart
refuses to discuss his plans.
Rocky Fork is in an inaccessible
