He Threatened Her.

Mrs. Hattie L. Wood. wife of James
Wood. today asked the District Su
preme Court to vacate the order OF
Justice BAILEY fixing bond OF 50 000
for her husbands release from jail
Mrs. Wood is employed at the Bureau

She fears that he will carry out his

was adjudged insane and committed.
Under this indictment Wood was
taken into custody yesterday, and
bond for his release was fixed by JUS

NEW YORK, May 1s.-Of the many
strange ways which people have found
to make a living in New York City,
perhaps the strangest is that selected
by Bill Smith. Beside being a porter
with the Federal Reserve Bank OF
New York, Bill is a champion duster,
and confines his activities to gold bull
lion.
The gold stored in the underground
vaults of the bank must be kept just
as clean as the floors and Office furni-
| ture in other parts of the building.
Accordingly it is busted whenever the
vaults are opened. This may be every
month. every three months, or even
every six months depending upon how
| fast Uncle Sam spends his money.
| On these occasions 1t is nothing for
| Bill to grasp his trusty duster, step In
| to the vault. and flick the gray coating
! from several million dollars worth OF
cleaning gold bars in an hour or two.
The gold is piled In a manner to make
Austing an intricate job, but Bill ap-
proaches his subject in a masterful
way. His dexterlty frequently anazes
the guards who accompany him into
the vault.
Another Sells FishwOrms.

Isaak Walton who set out via Battery

Fancying neither fishing tackle nor
dusting. there are other individuals
who wrest the necessities of life and
some of the luxuries from the odds
and ends abandoned by their fellow
men. Some persons salvage waste
paper from the streets, working fast
in the first flushes of early dawn to
beat the competition offered by the
city Street Cleaning Department.
Their paper salvagings are carefully

miles in the drifting snow and
shortly after midnight was stuck
between here and West Union with
no hope of assistance. The bus
was kept warm as long as the gas
held out, but when this was ex-
hausted the passengers were fore
ed to seek other quarters ito keep
from freezing. The stranded
party in their search came upon a
vacated farm house which luckily
was furnished with a stove. Here
the remainder of the night was
spent and in the morning team
and sleigh from nearby farm
was summoned and the snowbound
group was conveyed back to Sank
Centre.
Several autos were abandoned
after making numerous attempts to
pillow through the deep snow on
highway and byway. w. A. Moore
in returning to his work at St,
Cloud Monday morning trailed a
Northland bus out of Sank Cen

bus was ditched just below Free
port. Mr.. Moore was unable to
pass with his car. In an attempt
to get the bus in a position to
afford passage, the gentleman lost
his cap in the teeth Of the gale
with the result that both. his ears
were frozen.

spent itself highway patrolmen

Nothing much is known about the
