HONEST GIRL RETURNS
$500 AND GETS $4,000
Story of New Brunswick IN. ~
Teachers Act Reaches Coast,
Where Cousin Made Her Heir.

New Brunswick, n. J.-Once more
pointed morals which adorn the tales
on the shelves Of Sabbath school IL
braries have been upheld. Honesty is
at times the best policy, and Miss
Ethel Adele Wood can prove it. Peo-
pie called her prescriptions when she
returned to the board of education
5000 which she felt she didn't earn.
Now they're calling her lucky since
she realized $4,000 by her investment.
The board of education was paying
Miss Woods expenses in a training
school for teachers of defective chill
dren She left to take another posi-
ton and returned to the board the
price Of her instruction. Such unusual
honesty was featured in the New
Brunswick papers. One of these, no
one knows how, reached the Pacific
coast. Recently letter from Los An
geles informed the upright girl that
she was heir to $4,000 through the
death Of her cousin, William B.
French. Thus was virtue rewarded.

AGED RANCHER MAKES
COSTLY TRIP TO ST. PAUL
Loses $500 In Quick Time-He
Has, However, Two Mummies
and a Freak Sheep to Show.

st. Paul.-An interest in two mum
mics, one six legged sheep and a bro
ken down auto truck is all John Nc
MahOn, one time lOngshOreman and
priZefghter and later North Dakota
rancher, has to show for $500 from
which he has been separated since
coming to st. Paul last December.
Mcmahon is sixty-five years old and
says he ought to have known better,
"but folks talk so we'll that an old fel-
low like me believes them"
When McMahOn reached st. Paul he
met a man who took him to his home,
and there, Mcmahon says, he was rob-
bed Of $3.50. The case was taken to
court, but the defendant was dismissed.
"Well, that was the beginning Of my
troubles" Mcmahon said. "The police
tried to look after me, but | wouldn't
allow them, and now | have only $500
left out Of the 81, 100 which 1 got when
| sold my ranch near Bowman, N. D.,
and came here"
Shortly after this experience McMa-
hon met Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph La Porte,
who were living at the same hotel with
him.
"They were mighty nice folks at first
and took me out for a good time" Nc
Mahon explained. eve went to shows
and had dinners and nice little parties"
After the first weeks entertainment
by the La Porte family, Mcmahon said,
they started to talk to him about the
show business. They told him Of the
money they made travelling with car
nival companies using the six legged
sheep and the mummies for attractions
ct looked like gold mine to me, and
I asked them to let me in on it, and for
awhile I was worried for fear they
wouldn't do it," the old man said
"But later they let me in, and | have
been spending money on that sheep and
those two fake mummies ever since"
