The memory of man long dead is
still kept green at Newark, England, by
ringing the "Gofer Bells" Gofer was a
rich merchant who lost his way In
Sherwood Forest. The sound Of
Newark Church bells, however, guided
him to safety. In gratitude he left
money to the church on condition
that bells be "rung for Gofer" on

BARONET LOOKING
FOR EMPLOYMENT
PepperalI, Mass. Handy
Man, Who Inherited Title,
Wants Something to Do.
BY MARTHA DALRYMPLE.

DOVER, England, May "a (P-Sir
John Fagge, former handy man Of Pep
perell, Mass, at present Baronet of
Dover, wants job.
Sir John came to England 10 weeks
ago to assume the title he inherited
from his elder brother, John Charles,
who died in January. Sir Johns life
has not been too exciting during those
10 weeks. He got no money with the
title and he is getting little bored
with his role of leisured country gentle
man who has to live in boarding
house
In fact. he would like a job in Lon
don or any city in the United States
except Pepperell. Sir John doesn't know
yet whether he is going back to the
United States soon, although he is sure
he will return eventually.
Position Has Changed.
"But not to Pepperell," he says. "for
its very different now. you know. I
used to work there. Now 1t would be
different, because my position has
in Pepperell."
The publicity on his acquiring his
title had It's usual results-hundreds of
letters from unknown correspondents
"Most of them are from old maids"
explained the 60-year-old baronet, who
say all they want is sympathy and
understanding and love. Some of them
tell me they have little property
to 60 with my title, you know. But
don't pay any attention to them.
can't be too careful"
Sir John took pains to deny rumors
that he was to be married again. Any
way, If do, 1t won't be pepperell
girl" he said, but right now I have
too much on my mind to think about
1t at ALL"
The baronet explained that he does
not like formality and he has con-
sistently refused all suggestions by his
new English friends that he buy dinner
and evening clothes. Pointing to his
navy blue business suit, his light blue
shirt and his stiff collar, he declared
that one would never recognize him as
the same man who four months ago
piled the trades of nurseryman, carpen-
ter, auctioneer and paperhanger In
blue denims and canvas shoes, and
who didn't own white collar.
Spends Time Walking.
''But this is as far as I'm going" he
said, Ticking bit of dust from his
suit with a gray suede glove.
Sir John spends most of his time
waking ABOUT Kent OF up anu ooWH
the beach promenade of Dover. Twice
daily he goes to his lodgings to collect
mail and have game of billiards In
the back room.
The difficulties Of his financial in
feritance, Sir John said, were due to
the fact that his brother left his en-
tire fortune to two old servants and
none to his younger brother. who left
home when he was II. The problem
Of an heir doesn't worry Sir John at
all. He said he had a 17-year-old
daughter living somewhere near Bos-
ton :, E1is wife died Ii wears ago.

Thernl E. Rsisgn of Glory, Maryland,
who is credited by Country Hsihe with
being the first man to experiment with

in the ranks of men who emancipated
women and lightened their burdens.
Entirely to the contrary, such was the
womanly scorn that Therill aroused in
his sister Emily by his interference
with the sacred Monday morning wash
tub rites, that at the age of sixty he
had to leave his home forever under
the suspicion of being not quite men

The would-be inventor, says the ar
tIcle, had such an aversion to work
that he hated to see others toiling, and
wash day brought him particularly
keen pangs. Mr.. Raisin took dis
carded butter churn, filled it with wa
ter, soap and several pairs of overalls
and induced colored man named Ben
jamin to operate it. ao ..
The idea was superb, the execution
all wrong. The overalls and churn
were wreckage in no time at all and
there was such furore about it that
Therill moved out. go ahead and rub

What n Penny Can Do

crown and pounds and guineas, but
not your heart away. :" Young
men, however, are apt to be careless
Of their hearts, mindful Of their
pounds and guineas, but rarely, very
rarely, mindful of their pennies. A
penny, they know, will tell them their
weight, will purchase exactly one stick
Of chewing gum. Some may even know
that a penny will light a 40-watt bulb
for three and half hours. But pen
MES are generally a nuisance. You
get them when you buy a newspaper.
You can never tip with them.
But this penny can do, so scorn 1t

Inventor of Plane

Bartololhmeo Cristofori was an Ital-
fan harpsichord maker and the in
ventor of the hammer action used in
the modern piaNoforte.
No great amount is known Of his
career. He was born in Padua about
1851, and early served an apprentice
ship as an instrument maker. After
following that work fer some years
In Padua he began to be known else
where. About 1897 Prince Ferdinand,
son of the Grand Duke Cosimo III,
persuaded him to remove to Florence.
1t was during the Florentine period
that he made his first pianos. De-
scriptions and engravings of the time
show that the invention is correctly
ascribed to him. A grand pianoforte
by Cristofori is said still to be pre-
served in Florence. He died In that
city in 1871.

Dead Sea Remarkable la
for Its Lack of Outlet

The Dead sea is, In itself, an inter-
esting phenomenon. It Is about 1900
feet below the level Of the not far of
Mediterranean, and 1t receives Its wa
ter chiefly from one source, the River
Jordan.
There are no especially saline fea-
lures In the basin itself and but few
In the waters which enter into 1t, but
there is no egress whatever. Water
leaves the Dead sea by evaporation
only, and through countless millen-
NUNS such salt as there was has re-
manned in the sea-" until now 1t is
indescribably salty and bitter. The
dryness of the atmosphere alone pre-
vents the sea from overfowing.
l reminded myself Of Doctor john
sons remark to his biographer, In re-
ply to his question, do you not think
the Giants causeway worth seeingf"
IT do, sir, but not worth going to
see." That is exactly my opinion of
the Dead sea.-A. Edward Newton In
the Atlantic Monthly.
