"ENOCH ARDEN" IN REAL LIFE
Daughter Finds Father, After Fifty
Three Years, Who Failed to Calm.
Remarked Wife.

Tarrytown, n Y.-As the last chap
ter in a dramatic story which closely
parallels Tennyson "Enoch Arden"
Capt. Lewis B. Hunt of Tarrytown,
N. Y, now eighty-four years old and
quite feeble has started for Oregon
with his daughter, who has just seen
him for the first time in fifty-three
years He left his wife to another
man she had married in the belief
that he was dead.
When Captain Hunt came home to
Buffalo, n. Y, in 1895, after being dis
charged from his regiment at the
close of the war, amazed friends met
him at the station and told him they
had believed for several years that he
had died in battle.
They told him that his wife had be-
lieved the reports of his death and
had married again. Like Enoch Ar
den, he turned his back on Buffalo
and went adrift into the world, leav-
ing his wife in ignorance and to the
new happiness she had found.
When he went to the war his daugh-
ter was two years old When he re-
turned to Buffalo he wanted to see the
child, but he dared not, because the
knowledge that he was alive would
ruin his wife's happiness. Therefore
he dropped out of sight of all who
had known him.
This daughter grew to womanhood,
was married to man named Miller
French and moved to Clatskanie, Ore
gon. Mr. Hunts wife and her new
husband moved to Wisconsin. AS the
daughter of a Civil war veteran Mrs
French recently wrote to the pension
bureau to see if she could not obtain
a pension. The bureau informed ner
that her father was alive and living at
Tarrytown. where he was receiving a
pension
Mrs. French hurried here and then
for the first time in fifty-three years
met her father.

the other night, through the La Sale
street tunnel, up Clark street, and
out Broadway. 1t was the first eVi-

The car, with no sign save the I'M

around the loop at the alcoholic hour
of 1880, just when the most people
wanted a car.

Retired? Not So That Anybody Could Notice 1t

n INCINN.tTI, O.-Not long ago an
~ aged man presented himself at the
new account" window of a local bank
and asked to have his semi-annual in
terest entered in his passbook. Rec
ognizing him at once, the teller on
duty asked: Are you still retired?"
Il reckon l am, as far as ever l
was" replied the depositor smiling
grimly.
The little joke dates back a year or
two to the day when the account was
opened. Accompanied by his wife on
that occasion, the aged farmer from
Ohio's onion belt rendered the teller
roll of banknotes counting up in the
thousands.

pursuant to the banks practice of
keeping such bits of information on

AS it was to be a joint account, the

close to the bank of the stream, are
some old Indian graves, and near by
are some carved stones or 'piedras pin
tadas
From the weathering of these and
from the pottery and other objects,
remnants Of an ancient Indian culture,
buried in them it is known that they
are at least 1000 years old and proba-
bly, considerably more. Since these
graves were made the Caidera river
has not cut it's chaPnel more than ten
feet deeper over about one-tenth of
the total width of its valley bottom.
This is equivalent to a deepening Of
the whole width of the valley one foot
From these data it is seen that the
minimum rate of excavation of the
Caldera valley, under. approximately,
present conditions, would be one foot
per thousand years At this rate the
present valley, which is $50 feet deep,
would require 100000 years for ex-
cavation However, during the first
few centuries excavation of it went on
much more rapidly than now. This
is due to the fact that in falling
through the atmosphere the coarser
rocks of the volcanic debris dropped
faster and are more concentrated in
the lower part, while the upper parts
of this formation are chiefly of fine
ash"

Cleveland Firemen and Police in Fy-Trap Race

firemen had an unreasonable adj
vantage over the police in the matter
of flies.
Then, all confidence, Trump chaI-
lenged Cregan to a fly-catching con-
test between their respective traps.
Because the firemen had the advan-
tage of the stable, Trump gave Gre
gan a handicap of 100 flies.
For days firemen and policemen
watched their traps earnestly. Wagers
were made on the result and In
terest grew to a fever heat Each
side accused the other of catching
flies by hand and "stuflng" the traps.
But, strangely enough, the police trap
continued to attract more flies
An approximate gave Cregan a lead
of possibly 1000 flies and the fire
fighters we're in despair A terrible
disappointment awaited the police enc
morning. With the break of dawn
Cregan went out to inspect his trap.
He sent in a vocal riot call. The flies
were gone and nervous bat was
alone in the cage.
The fremen laughed loudly and
long. but the police may laugh last
Cregan took the bat, chIoroformed it
and performed an operation. Armed
with rubber gloves, a nGtpick and
reading glass he proceeded to salvage
enough flies from the remains to en-
able the police to make up the lead
the firemen are gaining every hour.
