A delicate question was recently de-
cided by an alderman Of Wilkes-Barre.
Pa, when he was called upon to adj
Indicate as to how much It Is worth to

ious to step from bachelorhood into
the bliss OF married life. Opportunity
to determine this question came when
q woman brought suit against a man
to recover 500 which she alleged was

his condition OF bachelorhood and en-
gagged her to hunt him wife. Sac To-
Gated woman, introduced her to him
and their marriage resulted. Follow

to pay the 500 he had promised. The
alderman. who is a bachelor, ruled that
1t was well worth 500 to find a wife

LONG mo- MANS LAND
FALKLAND ISLANDS NOT CON.
sIpERED WORTH POSSESSING.
Though Now a Part Of the British
Possessions, This Dates Only
From the Eighteenth Gen.
tury-Rlvers Of Stones.

The Falkland islands, which will
always be memorable in the history
OF the war, we're first discovered by
Captain Cowley in the days of
Queen Elizabeth, but it was not until
1764, in the days of King George, that
the British decided to annex them.
1t was then found that the French
had established colony there in the
previous year and had annexed the
Islands in the name Of the king of
France. The British, however, later
came into possession, but were evict-
ed by the Spaniards by main force.
A war between England and Spain
was averted, and the English resumed
possession, only to abandon the place
three years later. Until the transac-
lions which took place between the
Argentine and the British governments
In the early part of the eighteenth
century the islands were a no-man's
land.
Lecturing before the Royal Colonial
institute IN London recently, Major
Quayle Dickson, formerly colonial Sec
rotary for the Falklands, remarked
that the rivers of stones were con-
sidered by many to be the most in
teresting feature Of the Falklands.
They varied in length from a few
yards to two miles, and from a dis
lance looked like rivers.
There was no accepted explanation
OF their existence, but one theory put
forward was that the whole country
dncluding Patagonia) was at one time
covered with ice. When the ice
melted these stones were left bare
and slipped down the hillsides into
the valleys where they were now
found. 1t was also suggested that the
bowlder streams were due simply to
the natural disintegration of the solid
rock.
The blocks were not water worn,
their angles being only little blunt
ed. They varied in size from one to
two feet in diameter to ten or even
twenty times as much, and were not
thrown together in irregular piles,
but spread out into level sheets or
81 cat bIT6dul6.
It was not possible to ascertain
their depth, but the water of small
streamlets could be heard trickling
through the stones many feet below
the surface. The actual depth was
probably great, or the crevices be-
tween the fragments must long ago
have been filed up with sand and
peat dust. So large were the stones
that one could easily find shelter be-
meath one of them.
In some cases a continuous stream
of these fragments followed I'D the
course of valley, and extended even
to the very crest of the hill. On these
crests huge masses, exceeding in d.
mansions any small buildings, stood
as II arrested in their headlong
course.
There also the carved strata of the
archways lay piled on each other like
the ruins Of some vast and ancient
cathedral.

APPLAUSE is OF MANY KINDS
But There's No MISLEADING the Genuine
Article, When 1t 10 Heard, Says
Victor Murdoch.

With nearly every successful ad.
dress applause plays leading part,
writes Victor Murdoch in Golfers
Weekly There are several varieties
of applause. The common variety is
the perfunctory handicap poor,
weak contribution which makes but
terfiy look long lived In comparison
A. second variety is the charity offer
ing OF an audience to the oratorical
beggar.
The speaker ends profound decla-
ration with pause which is next door
to an open declaration of war II the
audience doesn't come across. or he
works himself up in series of mental
paroxysms which impel the auditors
to rush to his rescue before it is too
late. All spellbinders pocket this va.
rfety of applause as real coin. OF
course 1t is nothing Of the kind.
The genuine issue in laudation is a
spontaneous and volcanic eruption of
approval and delight. 1t blows out
violently from the subterranean fires
of folk. and when it has reached its
climax there comes, suddenly and COR
geously from the midst of it q second
and more terrible explosion, and as
this is reaching its highest point, a
third and seismic spasm rockets up
through bedlam and overwhelms ey.
erything and everybody. This is the
real thing. 1t cannot be made to or
der and it cannot be counterfeited.
The prearranged outbursts at national
political conventions following the
nominations are pitiable attempts to
manufacture 1t. Claques and lotteries
of devotees try occasionally to pro-
duce 1t mechanically. They never do
successfully.
All veteran speakers know 1t, and
having experienced 1t, live on in the
bright expectancy Of the golfer who
has accidentally driven 275 yards and
believes that any minute 1t is liable
to be done again. There are many
communities which have never wit.
messed such scene They never will.
For there are some communities that
are strangers to all manner Of re-
Spouse.

Eat Chicken for Moral Tone.

Prof. M. E. Jaffa, the nutrition ex.
pert Of the University of California,
has declared that different sorts of
food have distinct. but varying effects
upon the moral character Of human
beings, the San Francisco Bulletin
states
IF one eats chicken exclusively it
brings out the finest qualities of the
persons higher nature" he said.
THE light foods, such as vegetables,
tend to make an esthetic On the other

beef before playing heavy tragic
role. He found the added savagery

Judicial HearInn-

Judge T. J. Moll of the superior
court, room 5, has the reputation of
being accommodating to those attor-
neys who have cases pending in his
court. Recently a relative of local
attorney suffered an accident which
made him almost deaf. The attorney
was telling another lawyer of the acct
dent, and in the course Of this said a
specialist, who had been consulted,
gave no encouragement of restoring
hearing. After listening to the nara
tive, the second lawyer asked his
friend:
Why don't you take it to Judge
Moll? He'll give your relative his
hearing at an early date" -Indianapo-

Refractory 20 Anessbes,s.

Red Cross surgeons find that French
soldiers are refractory to anesthesia,
it taking far larger quantities than
usual of chloroform or ether to put
them asleep" This is believed to be
due to their habit of drinking wine
freely and smoking cigarettes inces-
sanity. So when operating on them
the surgeons see that they have their
customary wine and cigarettes.

The official ratcatcher of the British
Western Railroad company died few
days ago. For over forty years this

Cruelty.

New York, Aug. 12.-Although Samuel
Richards, foreman of John e Eccles and
Co., elevator manufacturers. according to
his own statement never smoked nor
drank, always devoted his wages, which
aren't big, to the household, spent his
leisure hours at home and worked stead
lily, even to the extent of taking only
one day off, except Sundays, in twenty
years, Mrs. Richards has charged him
with treating her in a ''crUel and in
human manner"
Justice Crane, in the Brooklyn Su-
prNme Court, has reserved decision on
the wife's complaint.
Mr.. Richards has filed an affidavit
denying the charges. He alleges that
Mrs. Richards was under the impress
sion" that another woman has entered
his life. He declared his wife had re
ceived or achieved the impression
through shuffling cards in an effort
to forecast her future. And Jealous, too,
is Mrs. Richards. according TO the hus-
band. who asserted that when on her
birthday he presented her pair OF
fancy slippers, she accused him OF doing
It because they didn't fit the other wO-

Details of Traffic-Accused

New York, Aug. I2-Using well-dressed

he told Assistant District Attorney Smith.
who made the confession public today.
Many Of his victims were only six
teen years old, Botwin told Smith. They
came generally from families too poor
to provide food, clothes, and entertain
ment for them.
Botwin's agents loitered around school
houses and firted. Then came gifts of
candy, automobile rides to Coney Island,
and finally a trip to a Broadway resort,
winding up with a night in a hotel.
Then the girls were induced to write
notes to their mothers. saying they had
eloped. and were taken to a nearby
city where they were kept for a few
weeks before they were brought back
20 New York and placed in dlsorderiy
houses.
But didn't they ever try to run away
and go back to their homes?" asked the
Assistant District Attorney.
"Older girls might have done that, but
the ones we handled never went back
home after we gave them their start" d"
said Botwin. That's why We picked
school girls"
BotwlR has pleaded guilty on one OF
the FIVE indictments found against him
in the investigation of the vice trust I"
