GOLD TEETH ARE THEIR BADGE
Lumberjacks to Be Known by Gilt
Crowned Ivories.

Lumberjaoks to Be Known by Gilt
Crowned Ivories.
Lumbermen of the southern Appa-
lachian mountains, known locally as
chicks" and elsewhere as lumberjacks,
have adopted the suggestion that they
have their eye teeth capped with gold
as a mark to distinguish them from
other men and identify themselves to
one another.
The idea spread from Asheville, N.
c., along the mountain chain through
West Virginia and south to Georgia,
and dentists have been busy provid-
ing gold crowns.
An Asheville dentist returned recent
ly from a Smoky mountain lumber
camp, where he had 100 customers.
He did not cut off the teeth, but
crowned them with gold. In no case
was crown needed.

BANDITS USED FALSE HOOFS,

Ingenious contrivanoes Are Found
Near Edge Of Swamp.
What is belived' to have been a safe
blowers cache, discovered at the edge
Of a swamp near Long Beach, Cal,
yielded several ingenious contrivances
apparently intended to divert pursuit
after the commission of a crime.
They were a pair Of imitation horse
hoofs carved out Of pine and fitted
with straps so that they could be ad-
justed to a pair OF shoes. An imita-
tion cows hoof fastened to a cane
evidently was intended to be used In
conjunction with the others to help
give the impression OF man on horse
back driving a COW.

FIND UNIQUE JEWISH COLONY
Members Intermarry Before Twenty
and Divide With Ono Another.

A strange Jewish colony practicing
queer customs and peculiar rites and
bearing many resemblances to "lost
tribe" has been found in Los Angeles
by DR.. r. Farber, rabbi of Sinai temple
The colony, which is composed of
members of about thirty families, lives
almost on a communistic scheme, and
the members divide their wealth among
themselves. They do not marry outside
of their own number and adhere to the
belief that it is immoral for a man to
pass the age Of twenty and be un-
married.
They came from Russia years ago
and have been living here for some
time unnoticed as a colony.

Real Gainsborouoh.

A great dealer. now dead. once told
me that sauntering into an auction
room he observed the portrait OF boy
In hat, ascribed to Gainsborough.
He had that power Of eye which can
pierce through superimposed paint,
and looking deep down into that pic
ture he felt certain that the hat was
an addition and the boy a girl. He
bought the portrait for song. to find
that his dream had come true. 1t was
a true Gainsborough. and the likeness
OF a beautiful girl. What had prob
ably happened brings a drama before
us. Some old Squire Western had
disinherited an clipping daughter. had
pulled the Gainsborough down, and
sent it to a country dauber for trans
formation. Dash his wig and buttons

Lord Alverstone recently made a
very interesting reference to a curious
fact that judges do their best work in
what, for other men, is extreme old
age. There are many instances of the
way in which legal lights retain their
faculties. Lord Eldon was in the house
of lords at eighty-fve, and his reason
ing faculties were uninpaired till the
very end. Brougham became president
OF the Social Science association at
seventy-nine. and delivered his install
