VALUABLE RELIC TAKEN
FROM SPANISH. WARSHIp

Harrisonburg, Va. Dec. 23.--W. J.
Dickens. general held agent for the
K. j Reynolds tobacco company, is
tho possessor of a cane which Is
relic OF the Spanish American war.
The cane was taken from the sunk
en- Spanish battleship Maria Teresa,
which was ono Of the victims Of Ad-
mirals Simpsons and .Schley in Hax-
ana harbor when that vessel was sent
to the bottom by the accuracy OF the
American gun fire. The vessel was
some years later rescued from the
graveyard of the sea" and brought
into the harbor of Norfolk.
The cane is followed out and forms
a sheath for Spanish rapier about
three feet in length. The rapier Is
manufactured OF Toledo steel and Is
engraved on one side. 1t is as bright
AS the day it was made and the point
Is razor like in sharpness. The relic
was purchased by Mr.. Dickens. who
then lived In Norfolk, from a sailor
and it Is priced very highly by him.
While nothing Is definitely known
as to the personal owner Of the cane
originally II Is possible to have had a
great history. Probably many a man
has been run through and through
with the weapon in the hands of a
treachcrous Don.

FAMOUS WE'LL CAVES IN
AFTER 100 YEARS SERVICE

Timberville. Va. Dec. 23.-With a
crash and roar like distant thunder
the old town well went down Satur-
day night or Sunday morning.
The well was eXcavated by Messrs.
William Thomson and Adam Lick
liter between seventy five and hum
bred years ago and for many years
was the towns sole supply for drink
ing water.
In late years, however. cisterns took
the place of the old well and it was
filled up to about fifteen feet OF the
top and covered over.
1t Is thought that the heavy rains
of the preceding week caused the in
side walls TO collapse. making cav
ity of several hundred feet and tear
ing away a portion OF the sidewalk.

Mothers Aid

Tic State Board Of Mothers Aid is
frequently asked whether the aid 10
mothers with dependent children Is
limited to widows. The law distinct
ly specifies that under certain con-
ditions Il deserted mother may nave
the aid, but the deserving husband
must first be followed up under the
on-support law. AS to mothers
whose husband is not deceased or &C.
serted the policy adopted by the
Board is as follows:
1.-THE Board is of the opinion that
the husband must be considered
when he is living with his family, as
the head OF the family. Upon him
devolves tho responsibility OF pro
vidirg for the mother and children
If he is not able to do SO apparently
he must apply to the town for assls-
lance in the form Of pauper supplies
Execution is being made by the
Board to this rule only in those cases
