Three hundred and twenty dollar gold piec.es were melted into a solid chunk and five hundred in currency burned up. A prosperous truck-farmer—afraid of the banks —hatl stored them in his corn crib which, in his absence, burned to the ground. WIRELESS AIDS LtAN CUPID Most Modern of Method!# Seised on for Use of the Resourceful Qod of Love. Cupid has sped his dart by devious ways. The address of a guileless country maid, written on the shell of a new-laid egg has been known to bring her a husband. The girl In the factory has often scribbled her name and address on the material which she helped to make and it has more than once fallen into the hands of a, mechanic many miles away and wed ding bells have rung. The telephone has cemented romances galore and "Central" hns captured her future lord and master by her silvery "hello!" Even the airship has en tered the service of Little Dan Cupid. So far as is known, however, for the first time wireless telegraphy has been responsible for uniting two lov ing hearts that never would have met had it not been for the mysterious ether waves carrying messages of love and endearment. The young man who has added wireless to the "Aids to Cupid" is Arthur Barr of Elizabeth, N. J. For more than a year he has been experi menting with "C. Q. D.s" and other signals with fellow amateur wireless operators. Their experiments stopped some time ago. Strange messages from the direction of Staten Island was the cause. When Arthur de ciphered these he suspected there was "a woman in the case." Barr's suspicions proved correct. In Mariner's Harbor Elsie Sheiton, eighteen years old, had been tamper ing with the wireless apparatus which her brother had rigged. By watching him she had lenrned to send messages and receive answers. She soon picked up Barr's "Marconigrams" and trans lated them Into the language of love. The messages continued. The couple met and Barr soon expects to make Miss Sheiton his wireless bride. MIGHT HAVE PUT LAST FIRST Old Lady Wound Up With Excellent Reason for Not Liking the Dominie's Sermon. Walter D. Moody, meanaglng direc tor of the Chicago plan commission, told (he following story at a recent luncheon of the Chicago real esfht* board: A Scotch clergyman who had made a particularly brilliant attempt (as he thought) in the preparation of a certain sermon, felt highly elated on the Sunday on which It was delivered. Walking home from church after the service he encountered an old lady who was one of his Btanchest parishoners. Slipping his arm through hers he asked: "Aunty, how did you like my ser mon today?" Expecting, of course, to receive a fine word of approval from the devout old lady, who was a great admirer of the minister, he was grlned when she replied: "Good do minie, 1 did not like it.' "You did not like It, aunty! Well, what was the reason?" "There are three reasons." "Three reasons! 1 declare! I pray what was the first one?" "I do not like sermons that are read." That was not disconcerting, so the minister pressed the old lady for the second reason. "Well," she said, "I did not like the way you read It." "Come now, aunty," continued the minister, "that is not so bad. What was the final reason?" "Well, I dlnna like to tell you, good dominie, but I thought It wasn't worth reading." Glass Paving Falls. Seven or eight years ago a plant was established at La Demie Lune, a suburb about four miles from Lyons, for making glass paving material. After many experiments carried out at the factory, the manufacturer ap plied to the Lyons municipality for the right to make a trial on one of the chief thoroughfares. The necessary authorization was granted, provided that the inventor would bear the en tire expense of the undertaking. The place chosen for laying the glass pavement was a section of the Place de la Republique, where traffic of cabs, automobiles and wagons of all kinds is very heavy. The glass bricks remained in place for less than two years, and were then taken out, as they were in very poor condition. The edges were all broken, and in many cases the blocks were split through and through. The opinion of officials at that time was to the effect that this glass pavement could be used un der favorable circumstances for foot paths, but not for the middle of streets. Nothing Like Byatem. "Don't tell me you can't remembev things!" murmured Jobbs to Dobba. "Memory is all a mater of system. Now, in what year was the Battle of Aglnoourt fought?" Dobbs pleaded that his memory fall, ed him on that Interesting hlstorloal fact. "Exactly!" replied Jobbs. "Now, how many days are there in a week?" "Seven," came the answer. "Very well. Twice seven are four teen. Multiply by a hundred—four teen hundred. Number of days la June, thirty. Half of thirty, fifteen. Fifteen and fourteen hundred?" "Fourteen hundred and fifteen," hasarded Dobbs. "Right! That's the year of the bat* tie.

In an office building whose seventh floor 1B occupied largely by doctors one elevator displays the sign: "Take this elevator for doctors' offices." "Why are doctors' callers restricted to this one car?" asked a passenger. "Germs," said the operator. "A lot of the tenants In this building are more afraid of a germ than of a gat llng gun. Most people who visit a doctor are supposed to have germs of one kind or another, and the regular tenants object to riding in the same elevator with them. They raised a big row when the doctors moved In and threatened to leave, but tho trouble was finally settled by making the sick folk stick to one elevator." Last Co-Eds All Take Honors. The passing of co-education at Wes leyan University Is made notable by ! the fact that every young woman In ; the graduating class this year, which is to be the last class of women to re ceive diplomas from the university, has been awarded honorary member ship In the high scholarship society of Phi Beta Kappa. Only a small propor- j tlon of the men received this honor. One of the arguments which the 1 men students have advanced against co-education, which becomes extinct at Wesleyan this year, is that the young women have taken scholarship honors which otherwise would have gone to men.—Washington Evening Star.

I know some people who have been indulging in a family group. Which is all right, if they feel that way about it. Uut where are they going to keep it? I have one down cellar and another under the bed and a third in storage. There was a mistake made in the order, so we each got thro apiece. Any one has a right to be in a family group, but no one has a right to show it to his friends.— Exchange. Makes Unique Home. In Zaratanto, Spain, a case has oc curred which is probably unique of its kind. A child has just been born while his father, grandfather, great grandfather and great-great-grandfa ther are all living. His name is Urrl- I ticocechea, and the family are Dasque tarm laborers. The great-grandfather 1 and the great-great-grandfather have ■acted as godfathers to the latest ar rival. The united family constitutes nearly a whole village. Royal Letters Prized. Royal letter writers may expect that, in the vicissitudes of the centuries, their popularity will come to the test of that democratic implement, the auc tioneer's hammer. Judged by this standard, King Edward 111. and Queen j Elizabeth have no reason to feel slighted. In London the other day one ■of the king's letters sold for $1,460, and a letter from Queen Elizabeth to Henry 111. of France brought $1,225. No Monument to Eve. The proposal to erect a statue In honor of Eve may be dismissed with out inquiry as to the worth of the woman. It simply wouldn't do. The garb of the first woman of the land does not lend itself both to the statu ary scheme and the growing sensitive ness of the public as to the amount of drapery necessary to make a marble person au fait.—Los Angeles Tribune. London Fogs Costly. It is said the London taxpayer is put to an extra expense of $600,000 annually by reason of the prevalence of fog.
