DECEMBER 1 -97. Vulgar Notoriety. A 14-year-old girl disappeared from her home in a New York tenement one tiny last summer. Her letter of farewell said that she Intended to dvown herself because she was tired of tending the baby. For 2a hours or more her pa rents. assisted by the police and the re porters, hunted for the child. They finally found her in the cellar of her own house. On second thought,sht bad jJecided to live a little longer—in spite of the baby. Later developments indi cated that she had gained her principal purpose. It was shown that she hail been an industrious reader of the sen sational dailies, and that she yearned to share that publicity which they gavs to the deeds of people who are mentally weak and morally crippled. She suc ceeded. At the cost of a day in the coal hole, she got her picture in the papers. The "stories" that were printed about her occupied very satisfactory space among the evil deeds spread out in the demoralizing columns of the sensation jal papers. Of course, says the Youth's Companion, she was happy. She would have been happier yet had she realized the full extent of her good fortune! ,Eminence like hers could not easily have been won by any little girl born earlier than this nineteenth century. A hundred years ago there were no "yel low" daily papers to rouse or reward a girl of her high ambition. Had such a girl threatened suicide, her mother would have given her a dose of jalap and put her to bed. Had she run away, she would have been physically punished. It never entered the heads of our old, fogy ancestors that when a child did Something foolish or mean, or wicked, the proper thing was to tell amusing stories about it. They had the notion which seems to be in some danger of be coming obsolete, that a wrong or a senseless act should not be paraded be fore the public. Counterfeit silver dollars of greutcr weight and fineness than those turned out from Uncle Sam's mints are the latest in the counterfeiter's art, and St. Louis is the first city to suffer from them. For some days St. Louis bank tellers have been accepting the coun terfeits in question without hesitation. It was only when they reached the St. I.ouis subtreasury that the spurious character was detected. United States Treasurer Small sent one to the mini for assay. He received a reply in which the statement was made that, although tiie assay had not been completed there was no doubt that there was more sil ver in the counterfeit than in the gen nine coin, and. according to Col.'Small, the coin weighs 13% grains more than the genuine, which weighs 412 grains. Jts fineness is 04 per cent., while that of the genuine is but 90 percent. The following is an exact copy of a letter received by a Syracuse young Jady who, possessing a piano and being about to remove to a small country town, advertised) for room and board with a family "musically inclined:" "Deare Miss, we think we kin sut you with room and bord, if you prefer to he where there is musick. I play thelidde!, my wife the orgin, my dottier Julethe akordion, my other dotter the bantgo. ray son lien the gittar, my son John the floot and koronet, an' my son Clem the base drum, and all of us sings Gospel hims in which we wouldlbeglad to have you take part both Yocal or instrument al if you play on anything. We piny by ear and when we all git started there is real musick in the air. Let us know if 'you want to come here to bord." Political changes in this country have been o numerous and their oonvi - quenees often so sweeping, that it is a surprise to learn that there is still in the service of the country a postmaster who received his first commission under President Jackson, and has been con tinuously in the postal service for f7 years. He is W. 11. Wallace, post ma i r at Ifn.mnxmdsville Station, O. In ; let ter to the postmaster-general he recalls the early days of lias service, when it cost 25 cents to send n letter, and the postmaster, who was also a merchant, took pay for postage in oats, potatoes, butter or eggs. Mr. Wallace is now in his 86 th year. Educate Your Bowel* Willi fHMeiret*. Uaudv Ciithartic, cure constipation forc\cr. 10c. If C. fail, dnuryists refund money. CASTOIIIA. The fas- /J .

One Hnmlreil and Twelve Yearn of Autre IN Hetty Dowlingr. The Cincinnati Enquirer some time ago Mated that "Aunt Betty" Dowling, ot Seymour, Ind., aged 101, was prob ably the oldest old maid living. There lives a few iniles southwest of Hunting ton, Ind., an old maid who is 11 years older than Miss Dowling. ller name is Margaret Ann Bailey. There are rec ords in the possession of the family which prove beyond doubt that the old lady has reached the advanced age of 112. "Aunt Peggy" Bailey, as she is fa miliarly called, was born in Harrison county, Ky., March 10, 1785. She re- AUNT BETTY DOWLING. (The Oldest Old Maid in the United States.) mained in Kentucky until 1803. Since that time she has made her home with a great-grand niece, Mrs. Maria Bailey, and they live now on a farm nine miles southwest of Huntington. Aunt Peggy's mother lived to the age of 106 years, heV father was 102 when he died, and she had an aunt, Ruth Tay lor, who lived to the age of 116 years. Aunt Peggy was the eighth of 11 chil dren, and she is the only survivor of the family except her youngest brot her, Washington, who, so far as she knows, is still alive. IT living, Washington is near the 100-year mark. Ever since Aunt Peggy was eight ye ars old she has smoked tobacco. She works about the house the same as the rest of the family, doing chores, milking the cows, feeding the chickens, hunting the eggs and assisting with the cooking and other housework. She has splendid eyesight, and has never used glasses in her life. When asked why she never married, the old lady replied, with apparent fecd "Just because T didn't want to. This getting married business is a desperate thing, and T never wanted to take any chances. 1 have seen so much of it that I don't think I want any of it. 1 never saw any m&n that I thought I would like well enough to marry." "Did you never have a sweetheart?" "That's nobody's business, young man," she replied, warmly. "When T was a young girl 1 used to go with the fel lows to dances, log-rollings and husking bees, and had as good a time as any of the rest of the girls, but I never wanted to get married. We had .just, as good times in those days as the young folks do now. but it was different," Aunt Peggy's health is good. During her entire life she has had but one se rious sick spell, and that was about 12 years ago, but at present she is well, and apparently bids fair to live and enjoy her old pipe for several years to tome.
