MADMAN INVADBS
BANK OF ENGLAND
Demands Money on Ground
He Is VictOria's Eldest Son.

London. Jan. "a German engineer
giving the name OF Robert Buchler, who
arrived from New York few months
ago. entered the Bank of England this
afternoon. Owing to his strange conduct
a detective followed him as he moved
about the rooms. Buchler went to the
cashiers window and presented a letter
in which il was stated that the bearer
was the eldest son Of the late Queen Vic
toria, and that the bank had a lot of
money which was due him. Unless Buch-
Ter got this money. the letter declared,
several people would be killed.
The detective by a ruse got the man
out of the bank. and with other detec-
tives succeeded in Turing him toward a
police station. regarding the man as a
harmless lunatic.
Buchler suddenly became suspicious
and drew a loaded revolver from one of
his pockets. He leveled the weapon at
the officers. but before he could pull the
trigger was overpowered and disarmed.
but not until after a violent struggle with
his captors. The mans pockets were filled
with cartridges.
Buchler will be examined by a medical
board. 1t is understood that he is insane.

PELLAGRA SPREAD
ALARMS DR.. WYMAN
Congress Asked to Appropri-
ate Money to Stuy Disease.

That pellagra is increasing at al
alarming rate in this country, $4,000 cases
having been iscovered in one State. is
the substance of a statement made by
DIR. Walter Wyman, Surgeon General OF
the Marine hospital Service DR.. Wy
man asks Congress for an appropriation
to enable the service to make COM
prehensive clinical study of the disease
a few years ago, the Surgeon General
points out in his report, pellagra was
practically unknown in the United States
Cases have been reported now from
thirty States and the District of Column
bia. 1t is absolutely necessary in .he
interests of the public health DIR. Wy
man asserts, that the government Shall
take cogniZance of the growth of the
malady.
The nature of pellagra is obscure. ac-
cording to DIR. Wyman. The medical
profession has made little progress to-
ward aScertaining the cause of the dis
ease and thus far failed to find rem
edy Owing TO the fact that the disease
prevails in large measure in rural COM
munitieS, little opportunity has been
given to trained investigators to study
its nature. DR.. Wyman asks for author
ity to treat such cases in government
marine hospitals. His request is in
dorsed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
who has jurisdiction over the Marine
hospital Service.
DR.. Wyman suggests that an appropri-
alton be made empowering him to con-
duct an inquiry into the nature of the
disease and that as an incident of such
inquiry authority be given to receive
ten peIlagra patients in each of the ma
rine hospitals of the government. The
Wyman report made a deep impression
upon members of Congress. and indica-
tons are that the recommendations will
be approved.

Brown o believes it is expedient to
begin getting a line on the best ath-
letes in the country in the different
events and also start the raising of a
fund to defray the expenses of sending
the team abroad.
A short time ago the National Am
ateur Athletic union gave $1,000 to the
fund, and several times this amount
already have been pledged by promi-
nent athletic enthusiasts throughout
the country. 1t is understood that
President Taft will take steps to have
a certain amount advanced from the
national treasury, while a similar &C.
ton is sure to be taken by some of the
governors of the different states.
With the expense fund practically
assured. it now is up to President
Brown and Secretary Sullivan of the
national body and the presidents and
other officials # the different associa-
tons of the union to confer and hold
trials to select the strongest men in
the country to take part in the various
events which make up the Olympic
program. In all probability several
trials will be held in the different sec
lions, and the athletes who make the
highest average on q percentage basis
will be selected.
The fact must be admitted that
Americas athletes must be superior to
those representing other countries, and
our representatives will have to win
by comfortable margins to be awarded
the verdicts. Another thing which
must be watched is the team work.
which is liable to be used on the Yam
kee athletes in the different events.
especially the track contests.
It is almost certain that these ath-
letes will be selected to compete in

and been buried by the town. If pro-
vided with a cheap suit of clothes he
would make an end Of himself this
time.
Three months went by and nothing
from Abel. During this interval there
was no talk about the wedding day.
There must be no more surprises. 1t
was lucky that the couple had gone
slow. Mrs. Saunders received by mail
from a town fifty miles away five at
fidavits that a man who had been
found frozen to death in a snow bank
was the lamented Abel. AS the frozen
legs had broken short off in carting
the body around there was no doubt
of death.

look good to me-" said Mr.. Drew as
he looked up after reading the afida-
Wits.
Eyes, Abel is sure gone this time"
sighed the wife.
An hour later Abel Saunders walked
in and held his toes to the fire to toast.
Minerva succeeded in fainting away,
but Moses Drew arose in his anger
and shouted out:
"Then you were not frozen stiff"
"Me? Oh, MOI"
"And they didn't break the legs of
your carcass"
Legs? Oh, my legs are all right"
"And you've come back!"
"Come back? Yes, but I'm not going
to stay long. l thought I'd go out skat-
ing tomorrow and skate into an air
hole. You can both come along and
see me do it, and then there won't be
any more false alarms"
you go to grass, sir, and I'll go
home! This is a pretty muss for a re-
spectacle man to get intO!"
Mr.. Drew stamped out of the house.
and Minerva got chilly on the floor
and returned to consciousness to fall
to weeping and to wall out:
"Oh, Abel. l couldn't have believed
it of you!"
"No. of ourse not. l orter got
frozen, but I didn't. I'll be all right
don't cry"
"But Moses!"
"Oh. he'll be all right in a day or
two. Just feels hurt at my coming
back. Thinks I don't mean to skate
into AT air hole, but he shall see. Yes
skate right in, and that will be the last
Of me. Cheer right up, girl"
1t is u matter of record that Abel
Saunders went out on the millpond
next morning and kept his promise,
More than twenty persons saw him
deliberately skate into an air hole and
his body shoot owe the high dam.
They looked for ii, and though it was
not recovered there was no doubt about
the death. Three months later the
long delayed marriage took place. 1t
was a sure thing about Abel this time.
But was it? Six months after the mar
rage d man was killed almost in front
Of the Drew house by a wagon run

to say that he was still alive, but

THE GRASS
WIDOW
By M. QUAD 49,
By M. QUAD
1910, by Associated Lit
erary Press

When a widow is not a widow, but
has a husband hiking around the
country somewhere. they call her a
grass widow. The term might as well
be a hay widow or straw widow, but
it is always given as grass.
Miss Minerva Saunders was a grass
widow. She should have called her
self Mrs, but the report had come to
her that her missing husband, Abel,
had been seen to drown himself in a
millpond. She waited a year and Their
called herself Miss and removed to
Perkinsville. She had not been there
three months when Moses Drew,
farmer, saw her at church and ad-
mired her and began counting. He
should have been told straightaway
that Abel was a d%eceiving husband
and that that drowning business might
have been one Of his little tricks, but
he wasn't. He went right ahead and
courted under the idea that he was in
love with Il miss. About eight months
after meeting the woman he asked
her to be his wife. 1t was then nearly
two years since the ~absconding Abel
was supposed to have gone to the bot
tom of the pond, and Miss Saunders
blushed and stammered and said she
| guessed so.
That was enough for one night. On
the next the wedding day was set.
| On the second the wedding day was
| planned. On the third as the happy
couple sat holding hands the absconder

been drowned. He had not come any
| where near it. OF course there was
I excitement, more of it than as if q
| circus elephant had broken loose.
Abel a%pologized for his advent. He
was sorry he came. He realized what
a worthless critter he was and he
could never forgive himself for hav-
ing broken up a happy marriage. He
would go right away and commit sui
eide and let the matrimonial event
take place. He asked for a dollar and
got it and then disappeared. Mr..
Drew had to he talked to in a sooth-
ing way for q long time. but he finally
sat himself down to wait until the
grass widow became a real widow.
In about three months a stranger call
ed on Mrs. Saunders to say that he
lived twenty miles away and was a
carpenter. He had a man named Abel
Saunders up On the scaffold with him
one day when it fell to the ground and
Abel was a dead man. He only had
time to tell his name and express the
hope that his dear Minerva would now
go ahead and marry Moses.
In five days more the preacher would
have tied the knot, but Abel walked
into the house again. It was some one

HISTORY IN TATTooED ROCKS.
New Zealand Originally Inhabited by
Sun Worshipers.

Clement Wragge. who has inspected
what are known as the "tattooed
rocks" on the coast near Raglan, New
Zealand, is distinctly Of the opinion
that they are the work Of neither Ia
mil nor Maori, but are the inscriptions
of a very ancient race of sun worship
people, antedating the advent Of the
Maori by untold centuries.
The spiral circle, ovals, crosses and
squares, he says, are most significant
and confirm his opinion that New Zea-
land has been inhabited by early man
He considers the Inscriptions are prob
ably connected with those at Easter
island and Central and South America
and are Atlantean or Lemurian in
origin; further, that the Maori copied
the spiral from the relics Of ancient
people and did not initiate it.
