ish-looking but well-setup man near
Twelfth-st and Clark-ave and noticed
that he walked with his shoulders
back, arms at the sides, eyes twenty
PAGES to the front and all the rest OF
those things that mark the man OF
military training.
"Hello!" said THE. when did you
DESERT"
The man denied that he was ever in
the service OF the United States. and
THE ceased questioning him. The
man executed a very precise right
face and started down the street
Here, you!" said THE, Il guess
you had better walk over to the sta
ton with me-"
The man meekly accompanied him
and admitted at the station that his
name was William ]. Kelly and that
he deserted from the battleship Flor

ENTITLED TO $65,000;
TAKES BUT BARE LIVING

PUEBLO. Col, April 26.-Accepting
$4,000 in cash and contract to re-
ceive $75 a month during life, Mrs.
Catherine Smith has relinqulshed all
claim to the 100000 estate left by
her husband, James Smith, who died
two months ago. Twenty-Five years
ago James Smith and his wife enter
ed into a contract whereby the latter
was to receive $50 a month as long
as she lived. Within a few years he
accumulated a considerable fortune
through mining interests.
Included in the strange instrument
was the provision that husband and
wife, then the parents of Ave chill
dren. should occupy the same house,
but that their relations were to be as
strangers. The children grew up in
total ignorance of tho unnatural rela-
lions existing between their parents.
Upon the death of Smith a contest
was begun, but finally a reconciliation
between the mother and five chill
dren was secured.

BIRTH REGISTER in SALT
Novel certificate" in Bottle Shown

Since the old-age pensions act has
been In operation in England, says a
writer in the Strand Magazine, there
has been great search for birth GER

titled to It's benefits to claim their pen.
sions. AS the registration of births,
more than seventy years ago, was not
carried out as now, there has been q
difliculty In many cases in proving
the age of the applicants, and in one
instance at least certificate Of an ex-
ceedingly novel character was present
ed. At any rate, the local pension Of
ficer said he had never come across
one like 1t, and he was quite prepared
to take II as proof of the age Of the
applicant. When a child was born in
this particular family a clear glass
bottle was procured and partly filed
with salt; then the letters and figures
forming the names Of the child and
date Of birth were cut out of a news
paper and placed inside the bottle, be-
Ing put In their. correct position with
piece Of wire, and then more salt
was carefully added to keep them in
place. Sprays of flowers and other or
namental designs, cut from cretonne,
were also tastefully arranged around
the inside Of the bottle, and then the
whole was tightly packed with salt,
and corked and sealed. II was then
placed in a prominent position on the
dresser or In corner cupboard, where
II has been for more than seventy
years. The white salt shows up the let
ters and ornaments in relief. and the
whole effect Is novel and pleasing.

OH|O'S BEST F|ANC|ERS

Evrey now and then John D.

dered in Standard Oil only second

thick wedge Of his fortune and con-
fers it upon some deserving insti-
tuition according to the Cincinnati
TiInes-Star. But it is to be OBJ
served that Mr.. Archibold always
does the slicing. No one ever
hurries up and takes money away
from him. And when he is en-
gagged in business undertaking he
can figure costs and credits down
to the ultimate decimal.
Il learned to do that in Lees
burg, O.. where l was BORN" said
he to friend. Il began my bust
ness life by clerking in a grocery
store in Ohio. The wives OF
farmers would come in with eggs
and butter and trade them for
calico and sugar and other COM
modities. In those days there was
no such thing as one-price rule.
We got what we could and, as
markets had not been systemitized
as they are now, and transporta-
ton facilities were poor, we paid
what We had to, and roughly tried
to figure out a profit. One could
not take a slate and half an hour
to do that figuring il the rear o1
the store, either: It had to be done
right off the reel. and con
vincingly. I've learned a lot Of
ether things in business since then
but the best training l ever hac
was in that little Ohio grocer,
store. 1t taught me the value O.

Some one suggested that Mr.
Archbold probably laid the founda

Men Favored to Teach Girls.

Arguments as to whether men or
women should be employed to educate
girls are being heard great deal
nowadays. Many women think men
teachers exert a greater influence on
girls and make them do more study.
ing, Others contend women teachers
have more refining influence. 81 am
tired" said one man, of the con-
slant demand for women as COVER
nesses for girls. I am convinced gov.
ernesses have narrowing influence
on girls. whereas well.trained men
have broadening mental influence.
II is true the majority Of studies may
be taught more effectively by men
and that their minds are more log
ical. 1t is true women may have
greater tact, more sympathy than
men, but in the training OF children
the mans mind, being broader, has a
more lasting influence "-Plttsburg
Dispatch.
