THE LITTLE HAY TOWN.

I've been searching the highways up

 town; But it's streets are straight and it's
 pavements new. And the interurba0 comes wnirling
 through, And it's taste in motors is quito yomuiv-
 orOus, Locomobilious as weil as 9ivverous; And Broadway sings in & boxed ma
 chiue, And Hollywood froiics across the
 screen, And it's vokels-they of the long ago Now yawn in the face of the radio. I've been looking over the spreading
 map For the place which we ridiculed as
 Yap, But find the dinners are served in
 courses And the smartest marriages breed di-
 vorces, And the social strata of vamps and
 vaneals Has it's full pro rata of scamps and
 scandals, <1a0 CASAO oOSh playS GliS Sd4OpuOu0s And Old Aunt Mary rolls her own. And Reuben-he whom we deemed a
 dub Plays the course in par at the country
 club. I'&e been peering into the innermost
 hooks For the hayseed town of the story
 books; I have heard Of the place in the maga-
 ziLes, have seen it flicker across the
 screens, And the author, famed for his realism. Declared it as true as the catechism; Oh, the people were pictured as hope

Spray Perfumed Gas Into KeyhOle, Rob
 Countess of Jewels

New York.-Perfumed gas sprayed through keyhole is being employed by German crooks to put their victims to sleep.
 This was the story brought back to- day by Countess Alma YOU Butcher, president of the Good Will Charity Circle, of Brooklyn, who returned on the President Roosevelt, stating that she herself had been robbed of $5, GOO worth of jewelry in a Frankfort hotel through this method and had been laid mp eight weeks in hospital.
 1T retired in my hotel room" said Hhe countess, "and soon noticed pun gent odor. It was very pleasant. I remember but little more. When I awoke my jewels. valued at $5,000, were gone. When the police came and I told them of r9 sweet-smelling gas they explained itswas new method of a gang of crooks and had been worked all over Germany.
 ''I was frightfully i'll for two months from the effects of the gas, which the doctors did not seem to know how to treat. The police told me the crooks evidently sprayed the poison fumes through the keyhole with an atom Izer.''

what they really saw was one of their number at work clad only in his under garments.
 An old Mexican miner of Eureka often tells of the time when he and other workers saw the ghost of small boy. It first appeared when the men were at lunch, according to the author ity, and efforts to capture bhe speeter were without result.
 Another ghost story cevolves around a miner who was fatally injured while at work. This spook is described as of a social disposition, for miners say it rides down in the cage and then disap- pears in the drifts.
 In an Oklahoma stope, several years ago, thirteen miners died as the result of cavein. Survivors told of the ap partition Of black dog which dashed back and forth supposedly towarn the workers of approaching danger. In connection with this disaster there is supposed to be the specter of woman, attired in black, who patrols the path from the scene of the ,mishap to the undertaking parlors whore the bodies of the dead miners were taken.

Workers in Mine Are
 Startled By Specters

Eureka, Utah. Stories circulate here from time to time of ghosts in the underground workings of the Tintic Standard mine, and the latest is that the specter of a child, dressed in white frock and white shoes, has appeared in the drifts deep in the bowels of the earth.
 The miner, as rule, is a supersUi- tious individual, and officials of the Tintic Standard scotf at the idea of spooks in their mine. On one occasion recently miners came to the surface with reports that spook had been seen. Investigation developed noth- ing, and the belief was expressed that

 Realizing the needs Of the local scouts for a place to which they may take overnight hikes. etc, the asso- etation has given the use of the prop. srty to them under the supervision of the local Scout headquarters, Scout masters may secure ihe key from headquarters and take their troops there for instruction in seouterat and other outdoor work, II will probably be used also for monthly meetings Of the seoutmasters' a.oei' alton.
 Because of the fact that many Scout leaders do not have an oppor- tunity to get out with their Scouts Tor outdoor tests the Scout executive will be present at the property on certain designated Saturday afternoons to provide this service to troops, He will be there this week Saturday. May is,
