Safe Liqht for Miners.

Nowadays the up-to-date miner car
ries a package of electricity about
with him while underground. It is a
small storage battery attached to the
back of his belt, and is connected by
a cord with a lamp fastened to the
front of his cap. The lamp, provided
with a reflector, throws quite flood
Of light in front OF the miner. But its
chief advantage is absolute safety. In
olden days miners (who must, OF
course, have light) carried about With
them open-hame lamps. These caused
innumerable disastrous accidents
through ignition Of coal dust or gases.
Sir Humphry Davy's invention OF
safety lamp whose flame was protected
by a wire gauze saved an immense
number of lives. 1t is in common use
today, but the electric mine lamp is
better and more convenient.

The Cynical Actress.

The late Oscar Hammerstein be-
lieved that the actresses should lead
a pure life.
Cynical, disillusioned actresses are
no good" he once said at dinner.
II remember an actress Of mine some
years ago who fell down badly in
part I'd given her.
"Look here I said the morning
after she fell down, all the critics say
you don't show half enough emotion
in the scene where your husband
leaves you never to return
'The cynical, disillusioned creature
gave a tart laugh.
"'Oh, I don't, don't Il? she sneered.
We'll, look here, Mr.. Hammcrstein,
I've had six husbands leave me never
to return, and I guess 1 know how
much emotion ought to be shown In
such circumstances as we'll as any

Death Took Old and Young.

During the war the London Times,
either Willingly or unwittingly, pub
lished innumerable items about the
very old men and women in the Brit
ish empire who were dying off. Their
great age. their longevity, formed a
melancholy contrast to the slaughter
of youth then going on in Europe. Dur
ing six months in 1918, 312 persons
over one hundred years old died in the
British isles. but the figures Of young
men who fell during that time before
the guns Of the enemy and who died
with Influenza mounted toward mil
linn NOT one of the old, be It said
IN rassing, died from 'f1u."

FAMILY MARKED BY 0DD!TY
London Newspaper Tells of Strange
Fate That Pursued Group Both
II Life and Death.

There lived at Ipswich in the reign
Of William III a family known as the
"odd family" most appropriate
name, as the following facts prove,
London Answers states:
Every event, good. bad Or indiffer-
ent, came to that family in an odd
year or an odd day of the month, and
every person was odd in manner or
behavior or appearance. Even the
letters Of their Christian names al
ways amounted to an odd number.
The father and mother were Peter
and Rahab; their seven children Gall
boys) bore the names Of d avid, Eze-
kiel, James, Jonas. Matthew, Roger
and Solomon. The husband possessed
only one leg and his wife only one
arm; Solomon was blind in his left
eye and Roger lost his right in an
accident; James had his left ear torn
of in a quarrel. Matthew'S left hand
had but three fingers.
Jonas had stump fOOt, DaVlu was
humpbacked and Ezekiel was 6 feet 2
inches at the age Of nineteen. Every
one of the children had red hair, not
withstanding the fact that the fathers
hair was jet black and the mothers
white
Strange at birth, all died as
strangely.
The father fell into a deep sawpit
and was killed, the wife died five days
after from starvation. Ezekiel enlist
ed, was wounded in % places, but re-
covered. Roger, James, Jonas, David
and Matthew died in 1713 in six diff
ferent places on the same day; Solo
mon and Ezekiel were drowned in the
Thames in 1928.

A VAGAB0ND LOVE
BY MILDRED WHITE.

Gloria opened the easement and STEP
ped out into the pillared veranda: Pres,
emily, when Aunt Prudence was not
looking, she would fly across the lawn,
like a bird released from its cage, then
then she would seek him. Honestly,
to herself, the girl admitted it.
When one could find, by just walk
ing down to the bridge, all the Joy
of pent up dreams, why not dare a
little, for; that compensating pleasure?
There wi as much to endure in her
.Lled, monotonous life; compensation
was deserved.
"He" would be there at the bridge.
The girls eyes softened in anticipation.
For a little while he would pretend
not to hear her step, or be aware OF
her presence. Then, suddenly, all
eagerness he would turn with his dear
welcoming smile.
She could see in fancy, the grace
full disorder of his attire-the vel
veteen jacket, the soft shirt with it's
held so caressingly his violin.
Gloria thrilled anew, at the thought
of the dark eyes bent upon her, as he
swayed the bow. "A song Of love to
you," he would say, while the low mu-
sic which followed filled her with
emotion.
"a vagabond," the villagers called
him, "a poor adventurer living by his
wits"
Their ridicule and mockery stung
her cruelty. he was her wonderman,
whom none save herself could under
stand. Some day, she meant to run
away with him, to be his wife when
he should ask her, sharing willingly
his care-free life. She knew that trying
to influence Aunt Prudence or her own
father to her viewpoint, would be un-
availing.
how strange the girl thought
with a sad little smile, that this reck-
less romance should end her sheltered
girlhood. No young man of the neigh
bOrhood, however promising, mad Deen
allowed to call.
'sHis daughter must make no unwise
8 .tachments," her father decreed.
Gloria happened to meet the stran'
ger one morning on the rustic bridge.
At her glance Of surprise toward the
old violin which he carried, the man
motioned her silently, as one ac-
customed to be obeyed, to bench on
the bridge; she had sat therein a
sort of a dream, while he played.
When she thanked the man primly Tor
his music, he had laughed carelessly,
and babe her "come again if she liked
it." And Gloria the prudent, the guard
ed-went again.
Almost against her will it seemed at
first-the music lured and drew her

natural thing. And one day naturally
also, it seemed, this roaming musician
spoke of his love for her and Vher
heart went out to him in return.
Many hours of unhappiness the girl
spent, her cheek pressed against her
wet pillow; so useless was it to strug-
gle against this charmed fate, SO
grievously would it hurt those nearest
to her.
The very townspeople Knocked at the
mans idle irresponsibility, making
shift for himself, in an old shack by
the waters edge. Crude was his furni'
ture, they said, and he must be poor
There were days together when ne
failed to come in his worn velVeteens
to the village for supplies.
"A little cracked" these same people
considered him, lying alone In the
marshes at night, making Welrd
sounds on his violin, and this was the
man her successful father and conven'
tional aunt, must hear Of asher
husband.
.Must!" Gloria whispered passion
ately. For life without this one mans
tenderness-would be to her unbear'
able.
When she found him again at the
bridge, and was folded close in his
arms, Gloria sobbed out her story. Some
one had hinted about their meetings.
her father was sending her away-to
visit a cousin in the city, hoping that
absence would obliterate her fancy fol
him.
The "vagabond" comforted her with
pentle words and caressing touch.
"I will come to you," he said at
last, "and you shall marry me-.
So Gloria went away. She wondered,
troubled, how her lover might SEND
word to her, and where he would ask
her to meet him. The cousin, Of course,
must not know.
It was the suggestion Of Aunt Pru'
dence that some desirable man be
found to take her niece about and by
way Of comparison to bring her to
q sense of former folly.
So with this new escort Gloria was
sent to the theatre. 1t was to be an
evening of music, the young man told
her, with "notables" participating.
Traynor, with his speaking violin, was
alone worth hearing, his imitation OF
bird calls being wonderful.
His companion was listless sort
of girl-the escort thought. When
Traynor came on the stage with his
violin, his opinion quickly changed.
BreathlpsS. her eyes shining, Gloria
sleaned forward. At the end of the per-
formance. the obliging and perplexed
young man was abruptly dismissed
while no less a person than the celeb
rity possessively took his place.
Out in the starlight Gloria faced
him.
"You lived like tramp out there,
she accused, land you never told me
who you were.
Traynor laughed happily.
Il was learning and relaxing" he
said. "And-it was so sweet to nave
you ;J.. me for myself
