Story Of a $50 Bill.

A most charming Philadelphia wom-
an came to New York for the day and
her husband handed her a hfty-dollar
bill for tips and small change. relates
the New York Telegraph.
At the station in Philadelphia she
left the Pullman to buy a periodical,
leaving her bag carelessly on the
seat. There was another woman oc-
cupying the adjacent chair. Upon her
return the Philadelphia woman opened
her bag and found no hfty-dollar bill.
She made no accusation, but when
the other woman fell asleep she quiet
ly opened her bag and distracted the
bill.
In New York they bowed amicably
and parted. When the Philadelphia
returned home her husband asked her
If she had enjoyed the trip.
YES, but I spent all the money
she replied.

"Old Rough and Ready" full credit

Discarded Girl Sought Death.

While tramping across the great
Central plain Of Hungary recently
several workmen made a pathetic dis
covery, finding a beautiful young girl
lying in a newly dug grave. Happily
life was not extinct. and the workmen
carried her tenderly back to Gross
Warden. when a doctor soon restored
animation. The girl then stated that
she lived in a village some 200 miles
away, but had tramped the whole dis

she got to the barracks her sweet

she was ragged and dust-stained and

home, but as she had no money and
had eaten nothing for three days, she
decided to commit cuicide and bury
herself alive.
