'Earthlv Remains of Her Late Husband'

nENVER.-Mrs. Nathan Messenger
- of ROxbury, wrote to the Central
Jewish Aid Society here for informa
ton concerning her husband. 1t is
no wonder she wrote. She had re-
ceived an urn filled with ashes and
an anonymous letter which conveyed
the information, important If true,
that the urn contained the "earthy re-
mains of her late husband" Mrs. Mes
senger also stated that she and her
husband had frequently quarreled, and
that after their last domestic spat he
had departed for parts unknown. Nat
urally, therefore, she suspected

The Jewish society here got busy
and found Nathan Messenger alive
and well. He was arrested at 2370
South Adams street by State Humane
Officer Harry Richter, and is being
held at the city Jail pending further
investigation.

near the Sacred Heart station at night,
hurled in front of a north shore cleo

miles an hour, carried a distance of
80 feet by it and pitched back into

And all three persons crawled out
from under the twisted, spintered
pile of wreckage uninjured, save for
a few cuts and bruises and a bad
shaking up.
Both coaches of the limited train
were derailed by the force of the i'm

girls from north shore towns to

Pride and Poverty-but how? The
question Infatuated the husband. His
wifes silence famed the fires of jeal-

other children out for a walk.
When the children returned they
found their mother dead, with bullet

lay dying beside her body. His hand

The children told the police of his
accusations against the mother. De-

Halls an hour later in the Highland
Park hospital they were calmly tell
ing a reporter how it all happened.
Dettmann was driving his car south
in the Waukegan road, which parallels
the Chicago, North Shore and Milwau-
kee tracks for distance of two rn.-~-
through Lake Forest and Fort Sheri-
dan. when he saw the northbound
truck approaching. The truck, owned
Waukegan, was being driven by H. G.
ShaleS.
Dettmann says Shales did not give
him room to pass. He drove up as
closely to the tracks as he could but
the truck struck his car with such
force that it was hurled squarely in
front of the train.
Many women on the train became
hysterical as it jolted over the rails
and out into the roadway, and some
had TO be assisted ont through the
windows Some of the girls in the
front coach received slight cuts and
bruises.
The load Of fruit on the truck was

boy, Henry O'Neill, who were asleep
on the load, were not j0lted off.

RUBY is JULY BIRTHSTONE
Gem Has Been Associated Through the
Centuries With Some Remarkably
Quaint Superstitions.

The ruby is the birthstone of July
1t was associated in ancient times with
many queer superstitions. How these
old fancies originated or how they
could have been palmed off on the pub
lie 1t Is difficult to imagine The fact
that the common people had implicit
faith in them proves how very much
more credulous the world once was
than 1t is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that If ruby were worn about the
neck It conferred the power Of seeing
in the dark. One wonders what monu-
mental faker started this absurd con-
ceit and for what purpose. 1t was gen.
orally believed, however. possibly be-
cause rubies were costly and the COM
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves.
The ruby also was supposed to be a
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. BY the deepening
Of its color it forewarned its wearer
against impending misfortune If tied

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"DoLLRR.s

WHILE the ~ United us Is; state" ties
wv was the first to coin the
piece of money known as the
dollar" the word itself vas
coined long before, as evidenced
by the fact that Shakespeare
uses it frequently. In Mac
BETH" for example, appears the
statement:
Nor would we deign him burial OF
Till he disbursed, at ST. comes
Inch,
Ten thousand dollars to our gem
eral use.
This quotation, which sounds
suspiciously like a modern
strike order" proves that
, Shakespeare was familiar with
the dollar, despite the fact that
there were no coins of that name
known prior to July 5, 1850,
when the United States congress
.passed the resolution referring
to he first money put OFT by
the new government. Where,
then, did Shakespeare get tlle
word?
The answer lies In the fact
that dollar" is an Anglo-Saxon
corruption of the German thai

chimsthal. The coin met win
popular favor and, during the
reign of Charles V, emperor OF
Germany, king of Spain and fora
Of Spanish-Amerlca, 1t became
the standard currency of the
world. Shakespeare merely
adopted a slight change OF the
name, thus antedating both the
United States and Great Britain

Of England In 1904.
