DISCOVER $4,000 IN HOUSE
Public Administrator Finds Life Saw
ings Of Couple Who Never
Used a Bank.

MOberly. Mo.-Ten thousand dollars
saved by Mr., and Mrs. Johanna Radell
during their lifetime was found here
in the family residence recently by
Public Administrator J. Frank HOl-
man. Mr. Holman was called in TO
take charge of the estate of Mrs Ra-
dell. an elderly woman who dropped
dead. He summoned three assistants
and with them made a search Of the
house.
Secreted in an old cabinet in a pin
cushion the searchers found $1,000
and locked in an iron-bound trunk the
men found ST,150 hidden in IA flour
sack. The administrator believes
more money is about the premises.
The Radells never made n deposit
at a bank They paid their debts in
currency. Mr.. Radell owned a bak-
cry here which Mrs. Radell was run
ming at the time of her death. No
children survive the couple and only
distant relatives can be found.

The needle is one of the very Old
domestic instruments. The earliest
were probably Of bone. Steel needles.
close upon the modern style, were
made by the Moors at a very early
period, and there is a record of their
introduction into England in the four
teenth century that the matchmaking
industry became quite an important
one in England, and companies were
formed for making them. Needles
made of fish bone. bone of other ami
mails and also ivory, sometimes hay
ing an eye at one end and sometimes
having an eye in the middle, have been
found among the refuse of the cave
dwelling peoples of Europe The ma
chinery now employed in making nee

ing is quite as wonderful as the ma
chinery used in making the pins that
the world uses SO recklcssly.-W Wash

the comment of one of my companions
as we passed through its streets.
Hardly a house in he place but
what has suffered from the German
bombardments, especially the fierce
bombardment of January and Febru-

actual damage, concussion has. In the
cellars a few families still reside, de-

''lobbed over" by the Germans.

We went into one building where,
only very recently, have been found
scrubbed, on the walls the names of a
number of Enghshmen who were kept

If battlefields are already being
leased for tourist purposes, what a
profitable project it would be for some
of these forehanded spectators if
they could only obtain an option on
such protit-making is when the war is
still before its very doors.

or Shrapnel. Between the cobbe-
stones in the street the grass was
thriving, just as ii was on the rail-
road tracks at the big station.
We climbed piles of debris from the
cathedral and wendell our way through
some of the narrow streets until we
came to a place where it was possible

in peace times, thousands of cheeses
are stored after being brought In from
the country roundabout.
A smiling Frenchwoman who lives
at the very entrance of one of these
deep cellars took us into one. where
we walked by candle light to a place
where the light from above suddenly
came through a shell hole. For three
days and nights she and others with
number of children remained in one
Of these cellars, subsisting on raw DO

submarines were no such menace as
frequent bombardment. She smiled
and said the cellars were quite safe
during such times and, anyway, they
were getting used to it.
On one of the main thoroughfares
we stopped to have an Open-air lunch

street, which in ordinary times was
one of the most creditable in the city.

jST MATTER OF PERCENTAGE

BY Which He Voted Right in Ma

Ealus pattern and the faculty of be-

|ous by voting No" on every bill, res

Fame up. However innocent a meas
/ re might be, this man voted against it

Finally a legislator weakened under
