me cellar in which the vaults were
heated was reached by heavy stone
Infeps, supported by brick or stone
arches, a method handed down from
amediaval times. One of the vaults in
which bullion was stored consisted

number of copper coins, bearing the
dates 1916 and 1918, were found, as
well as a quantity Of scrap copper
from which the coins had been cut.
'From old papers relating to a lawsuit,
found by Frank H. Stewart, president
of the company which owns the prop

buildings were originally included In
the old mint, all of them grouped
around the coinage building. 1t is an
historic fact that this old structure,

CLOCKS AFFECTED BY COLD
Change In Weather Causes Oil In
Bearings to Get Dummy and
Hard.

Two or three times In the course
of a month this mans clock had
stopped with no apparent reason, for
when he swung the pendulum II
would start off again and run all
rigk: Dut it also now began to dis
PLAY c-o.her eccentricity; occasional
ly it would strike once about Is min
utes before the hour and then strike
the rest Of the strokes for that hour
at the regular time. So he thought
he had better take 1t to the clock
maker.
There on a shelf behind the counter
he saw ranged along dozen or more
clocks of almost as many styles.
"All patients" said the clockmaker,
"and most Of them with slight all.
monts like yours. We always have
many clocks brought in with colds.
They run along all right, but when
nasty weather comes the oil on the
bearings gets hard and gummy and
then the clock is liable TO stop. II
needs cleaning and reoiling.
1T is always so; we have more
clocks brought in TO us when the
weather is bad than at any other sea.

WHY SHE CHANGED HER MIND

Mrs. BiIthers had not always found
herself in an approving mood in rel

sterner sex. and her opinions concern-I
ing golfers who spend Sunday on thel
links. or sportsmen who shoot
pigeons. were 30 very decided that
Bllthers invariably looked around for

imagine his surprise. the other night,
when the good lady suggested the
idea OF his taking her to horse race
some time. The notion that she could
bring herself to approve Of such
diversion had never occurred to Blith-
ers, and he gazed at her in simple
amazement.
"You don't mean to say that you APP

Professional chaperons.

In a girls finishing school in New
York they have professional chaperons
who do nothing but take young wom-
en- out, walk them around and fetch
them back again. They take their
charges 20 trains and meet them at
trains. They are paid, not by the
week or month. but by the job, so
much an assignment And the curious
thing about II is that they are bonded.
They are actually bonded. The girls
themselves have never been able to
ind out why they should be bonded.

Barred From 4ous. Of Commons,

An irish peer was expelled for fdi-
recting a lottery, while for organizing
q Charitable Association" of shady
habits Sir Robert Sutton and two
others were shut out in 1890. Steele
Of the Taller was prohibited the house
for ''maliciously insinuating that the
Protestant succession in the house of
Hanover is in danger under her maj
esty's administration" But perhaps
the oldest reason for closing the doors
of the house of commons upon a man
is to be found in the case of Mr. AS

A friend met a youthful and lazy
author on the street.

he asked.
"Oh, Pve begun it, answered the
author proudly The two did not meet

encounter, the friend again asked;
We'll, how's your novel?"
The author paused moment.

PEST VICTIMS LIE THERE
Grave Of Five Who Died Of Smallpox
In 1911 Found IN BeiIerIes,
Mass.

Closely adjoining the site OF the
Boston q Maine car shops in Blllerica,
he surveyors discovered gravestone
marking the spot where 100 years ago
five persons. victims Of smallpox, were
buried
The stone Is still in good condition,
although messy with age. The foot
stone as we'll as the headstone Is
solid, giving evidence OF careful work
on the part of the ones who placed II
there.
The grave was evidently chosen a
century ago as a secluded spot, and
when found trees, underbrush and
shrubbery nearly hid II from sight.
The, words on this headstone are:
Erected in memory of and to desig-
nate the place where Asa Grost. Jr..
Levi Frost, Eleanor Farmer Sarah
Hodgman and Samuel, Batchelder
were buried. who died Of smallpox,
August, 1911. -,
At first the Boston q Maine con-
sidered getting the consent of the
state to remove the stone and the
dust Of the bodies, but II has been de-
cided to let the grave remain where
X is.
So these five persons will rest
where they are and their bed OF the
last century will not lie disturbed. No
relative OF, the ones buried seem at
all concerned about the grave and II
is doubtful If any descendants Of
them are living IN Billerica or Lowell
at the present time.
