DISHES NOT ALL SHE'D DO
School Teacher Made Her Position
Quite Plain to the Man Of
Her Choice.

She Is a schoolteacher, who Is anx-
ious to marry, and he is bashful res
taurant owner. For three years she
has dlned at his restaurant and at
some time during every meal he has
come to her table to talk to her. But
he never suggested any sort Of en-
gagement. Yet from the expression
in his eyes and his general demeanor
she has long been sure that he cares
for her. "All he needs Is just little
help" her best friend told her the
other day.
A few days afterward when she was
In the restaurant he came to her table
as usual. II see you'll soon be out of
a Job" he laughed, and added: "Since
your school Is going to close Friday
you might answer that" and he point
ed to a sign on his wall reading
"Dishwasher wanted" "Would you
wash dishes for meT he continued.
Back came the reply: Eyes. and
cook and sweep and keep house In
every way"
He took the hint. Also she Is going
to quit teaching for oil time.-1ndian-

HAVANA A BABEL OF SOUND
New Yorker Alleges That Metropolis
10 Silent In Comparison With
the Cuban City.

Havana may not hold the noise
championship of the world, but at
least little old New York Is silent by
comparison. Unmuffied motors beyond
computation, tram cars that seem far
more interested In producing clamor
than speed, believing vendors of
everything vendible, are but the back
ground of an unbroken uproar that
permeates every nook and Granny of
the city. Honest hotel keepers tell you
frankly that they can offer every CON-
fort except quiet. Even in church you
hear the tumult outside, broken at
rare intervals by the voice of the
preacher. 1t is not simply the day
time uprOar Of business hours, 1t in
creases steadily from nightfall until
dawn. In Olden days the serene, with
his dark lantern, his pike, pistol,
bunch of keys, whistle and rope, wan
dered through the streets calling out
the time and the state Of weather
every half hour. His efforts would be
wasted nowadays.
The long-seasoned inhabitants seem
to have grown callous to the constant
turbulence. I have yet to meet new
conner who confesses to an unbr0kep
hour Of sleep. If you move out to one
of the pensions of Vedado, the house
hold itself will keep you constantly re-
minded that you are still in Havana.
The Cubans seem to thrive on noise. II
they are so unfortunate as to be denied
their beloved din, they lose no time In
producing another from their own
throats. After week in Havana we
took ferry across the harbor and
strolled along the plain behind Cabana
fortress. For some time we were
aware Of an indefinable sensation OF
strangeness, amounting almost to dis
comfort. We had covered mile or
more before we suddenly discovered
that It was due to the unaccustomed
silence.-Century Magazine.

LAY KAISER'S FALL TO GEM
Many Hold That Belief, In View OF III
Omen That Is Attached to
"BIaxe Of Glory"

An ill-starred diamond, which last
shone as central gem in the crown Of
Prussia, Is now credited with having
been factor In bringing about the
ruin Of the Hohenzollern dynasty. 1t
is known as the "Blaze of Glory"
According to the tale brought here
about 1t, the diamond was given by
King Solomon to the queen of Sheba,
having been plucked from his turban
for her adornment, writes the London
correspondent of the New York World.
Curious carvings on two sides of 1t are
supposed to be heraldic tokens Of the
two ancient lovers. Copies of the
gem were carried into Persia, where
they excited the greed of the nOmad
king, El-Hakim II, who robbed the
queen of Sheba's grave to secure it
for himself. Within two weeks there
after he was slain in his palace, and
thereafter, through the centuries, rul-
ers and princes who acquired the gem
came to grief.
The margrave Of Brandenburg,
whose house started the Prussian dy-
nasty, found the gem on Jewish mer-
chant in one of the margrave's raids
into Silesia, and seized 1t, declaring
he would place 1t in the crown Of
great kingdom he was about to estab-
lish. The merchant was instantly slain
when he ventured to remind the captor
of the evil influence of the diamond.
1t seems to have been handed down
the Prusslan line until finally 1t
reached the one-time emperor, now In
retreat in Holland.
1t is said that Herr ZunkelhOrn,
learned antiquary, who had learned
the fateful history Of the gem and who
in some way had forecast that ruin
would come to It's owner between the
years 1918 and 1922, implOred the
young emperor to rid himself Of 1t
before his coronation, and that to this
entreaty William replied:
'You must understand that l am
crowned by the spirit Of God and the
will of my people. The HOhenzOl-
lerns must endure forever. No curse
of evil can harm our dynasty"
SO he kept the gem in his crown and
tradition seems to have justified itself.

Three Vaarant Glasses.

Perhaps you think the hobo, the
bum, the tramp and vagrant are one
and the same. Indeed not. They are
as different as bulldogs and terriers
and collles. They are all Migrants
that Is, persons without physical
means Of support and family attach
ments. But there are three distinct
types: There Is the tramp, the young
fellow who works little and travels
a great deal; the bum, who drinks a
great deal and works little, and the
hobo, who works little, drinks a lit
tie and travels little. The latter
parsonage also differs from the other
two classes in that he will not beg

NEGRO COMMITS A BRUTAL
ASSAULT ON AGED WOMAN
ATTACTS MRS. EMILY TALLEY
WHILE ALONE AT HOME

Ernest Thomas, Virginia Negro, Ac-
cused of Crime and Identified By
Victim and Taken to WOrkhOuse
Believed to be the man who COM
mitted a felonious assault on Mrs.
Emma Talley of near Dexter's Corner
west of Clayton, Ernest Thomas, col
Ored, 21 years old, was taken to Will
mingtOn, Thursday night by Chief of
Police Lee Cochran, of Smyrna, and
locked up for safekeeping pending an
investigation. Sentiment in the neigh
bOrhoOd of Mrs. Talley's home is said
to be strong against the perpetrator
of the crime, and Chief Cochran, fear
ing lynching, took him away. State
Detective Frank w. Mccoy will take
charge of the case. Thomas was ar
rested Thursday afternoon a few
hours after the crime by Chief Coch-
ran near Blackstone crossroads, west
of Clayton, several miles from Mrs.
Talley's house. The man was then
taken to Mrs. Talley, who identified
him as the one who committed the
crime. Mrs. Talley lives about eight
miles north of Clayton, near the Mary
land State line. According to her
story, a colOred man, believed to be
Thomas, came to her house early
that Thursday morning and asked
for a piece of bread. When she went
to get the bread he seized her, she
says, and threw her down. Having
satisfied himself that the woman was
alone, he pulled down the blinds at
the window, tied her hands and bound
her throat with strips of clothing she
was wearing. The man left the aged
woman unconscious, bruised and hys-
tcrical After suffering for some time
Mrs. Talley finally freed herself and
was able to drag herself to the door
and attracted the attention of a team
passing by, where she related what
had happened Other neighbOrs were
summoned and instituted a search
Chief Cochran was notified and organ
lied a posse. Thomas was captured
near Blackstone crossroads, taken t.
Smyrna and given a preliminary hear
ing. Thomas claims to be innocent o
the crime. He says he came to vii
mington about four months ago from
Rockville, Va, and shortly afterwar'
went to work in New Castle for
man named Gal" Wright, junk deal
er of that place. Thursday, he says
he went down the State, riding wit
a meat truck as far as DeXter's Cor
ner. Mrs. Talley was reported in
serious condition as result of the as
sault.
