WRECK DRIFTED 1000 MILES
Schooner Lottie r. Russell, Lost on
April IS, Is Found by Revenue
Cutter Seneca.

Washington.-A bottom-up derelict
which the revenue vutter Seneca
found $50 miles east of Halifax and
towed into that port recently proved
to be the American schooner Lottie
R. Russell which was abandoned
seven miles east of Cape Henry on
April Is. In five months the wreck
had drifted ore thousand miles and
it's final capture in the path of Gem
merce by Captain johnson Of the Sen
eca was regarded as one of the most
unusual incidents in the history Of
the revenue cutter service
The schooner, lumber laden, left
Charleston, S. c., for New York on
April II, and a few days later met
disaster. The crew was taken off by
the British steamer Georgian Prince.
For several days the revenue cutter
Onondaga searched the shoals of Hat
teras for the disabled craft, but it had
been driven to sea and lost. Early in
September a derelict was reported
in the path of commerce off Halifax.
The Seneca, on September 5, started
on the 700-mile chase which finally
solved the mystery Of the Lottie R.
Russell.

utilizing these great natural energies
for the production of light, heat and
power.
A traction plow run by wind power
has been invented by H. NJ Fletcher,
Of Plainview, Tex. Some years ago
he began experimenting with wind
power for operating plows and other
agricultural machinery. He now
claims to have perfected a mechanism
which makes it possible TO put the
wind at work in a practical way on
the farm. Seated on his wind pillow"
he made a trip of 20 miles In the vi
entity of his home with the wind as
the only motive power.
The winds are usually strong and
steady in the Texas panhandle"
where Mr.. Fletcher lives, so that his
machine is especially well adapted for
use in that section. By means of fans
ingeniously adjusted, and so arranged
as to resemble the wheel of an ordi-
nary windmill, he can guide his ma
chine in any direction he wishes ir-
respective OF the quarter from WHICH
the wind happens to be blowing His
early experiments convinced him that
the problem of lost motion was the
one which presented the most difficult
features, but he Obviated that be de-
vising a special kind Of gearing by
which the outfit is moved rapidly and
with sufficient power to cut 10-inch
furrow, even though the wind force
may be comparatively small.
1t is said that Fletcher's neighbors
gathered about him while he worked
on his plow and laughed at him, just
as Noah's neighbors did when he was
building the ark. But like Noah he
kept on with the work and followed
the plan outlined until he attained
success.
That he was successful is shown by
an account which says that no greater
wind pressure is necessary for oper-
ating this pillow than is necessary for
flying a kite.

SWEARS AT HIM, NOT BY HIM
Atlanta Woman Explains Fine Dis

to the Court.

Atlanta, Ga.-Mrs. Grace Keefer,
formerly Mrs. Grace Macy, testified
in suing Daniel H. Keefer, a lawyer,
for alimony and attorneys fees, that
she drinks, smokes and swears.
Swearing is commonplace. Nearly
everybody does it," she said. And
besides" she added, there is no harm
in swearing at anybody or anything.
The Bible itself says only that you
must not swear by anything 1t says
nothing about swearing at people"
Mrs. Keefer declared, however, that
she did not swear at her husband ex-
cept when he started swearing at her.
"He set the fashion," she said
AS to drinking, Mrs. Keefer declared
that she had always had wine on her
table, but was never intoxicated ex-
cept when her husband brought home
cocktails which were doped." She
formed the cigarette habit, she said
through Mr. Keefer's example.
Judge Ellis declined to grant ali
mony, saying he would leave the
mess" as it was.

best, has been a remarkably quiet

one who has passed over such great

Morris is bachelor and a confirmed
woman hater, and right here is where
q grain of romance inserts itself. In
his young days, it is said, many
years before he came to this country,
he was engaged to a buxom English
girl. The wedding day had been fixed,
but before its arrival the girl sickened
and died. Morris so cherished the
memory of his beloved that he could
never be brought to look with favor
upon any other woman.
As the years passed his antipathy
toward the fair sex increased until,
at the present day, with one hundred
and twenty years to his credit. he
stands forth, an openly avowed WON
an hater. Who knows, but what this

Morris was born in the year 1894,
at Berrey, Montgomeryshire, North
Wales. and if he lives until the l2th
OF next January he viii have reached
the wonderful age Of one hundred and

Blackstone, H., he quietly followed

himself understood. Tobacco is his

to derive much nourishments from
large quantities of coffee. which he
drinks at all hours OF the day and
