STICKS IN HIS CEMENT BED
Pickax Needed to Assist Sleeper to Get
Up From Soft Spot in Which
He Lay.

1t took a pickax to arouse a citizen
Of this place from his bed. After the
pickax had been used there was also
some strong pulling by friends before
he could jump out, for he had slept all
night in a bed of concrete and it had
hardened more or less during the night
1t was late in the evening, after the
rest of the people of Bayard had re-
tired, that the hero of this episode
stumbled toward home. A new cement
pavement had just been laid in front
of the home Of Capt. w. p. Wilgus, and
workmen had been stopped by the
darkness.
Our hero did not know Of the pave
ment and landed on it with both feet
Finding that he was sinking up to his
shoe tops in the soft concrete he laid
down and bothered no more about it.
In the morning the workmen found
him fast asleep and also fast in the
concrete, which had hardened during
the night. 1t took pickaXes before he
could be pried loose. A new pavement
is being laid.-Bayard (Del) Dispatch
to Philadelphia Record.

"PAY DIRT" UNDER NEW YORK
Legend Which Seems to Point TO Ex-
istence of Gold Under Streets OF
the Metropolis.

A Philadelphia assayer, Walter
Scott by name. recently took several
handfuls of sand from a street exca-
walton near Independence hall, and
after putting it through an assaying
process, extracted a small quantity OF
gold He declared there was enough
gold under Philadelphia, in his Opin-
ion, to make hunting it worth while.
Residents of Upper Manhattan re-
member Thomas Hartshorn, an eccen-
trio chap who lived in the vicinity of
One Hundred and Sixth street and
Fifth avenue for many years. One OF
his hobbies was absolute faith in the
divining rod. He talked about its un-
of metal for many years until he could
seem to talk of nothing else, and he
got to be known as the Rod Crank.
One afternoon several years ago
Hartshorn sailed forth from his home
and, entering Central park, took his
way to where the McGowns Pass tav-
ern now stands. In those days it was
the Mount ST. Vincent House of Re
freshmen. Several boys noticed
Hartshorn walk along the path to the
east OF the tavern and hold out his
divining rod. Presently he was seen
to stop and, after looking around to
see II he was observed, stick a small
stake into the grass.
One Of the boys Swallowed him for
the remainder of the day and told his
father. That night Hartshorn was fol
lowed to the place Of the stake and
they saw the Rod Man fill a pail with
sand. The news spread the next day
or two that Hartshorn had found gold.
The Rod Man never denied it up to
the time he died, and many Harlem
ties still believe there is gold near Nc
Gowns pass.-New York Sun.
