Reflections of a Bachelor.
The average woman does a lot of
foolish thins? just to see if a certain
man will "care."
The fact that a woman marries a
man at all Is generally proof that sho
doesn't know as much as he does.
A woman that Is too tender-hearted
to kill a mouse don't think a tiling of
putting perfumery on a bahy.
Before a girl Is engaged she thinks
all the men are alike: after she has
been married a year she thinks they
are all different.
As soon as two people have a baby
all Its relations begin to quarrel over
what Its name shall be; by tho time
this is settled they begin to quarrel
over which it looks the most like; by
tho time they get this Fettled there is
generally another bsby.

EVERY TRAIN
Seemed to be After Edward Conrad's Koo
doo Member,
Allegheny Pa. Edward Conrad, a
freight hrakoman In the employ of tho
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, 'has
an artificial leg 'Which can not keep out
of accidents. In January, 1898, Conrad
was thrown under a train and his left
leg was cut off. Tho railroad com
pany provided 'him with a cork limb,
and' he was given tho position of gate
man at 'tho Washington avenue cross
ing, i
Several months aEo Conrad's cork
leg was run over :by a. c.ir. . About a
year ago, near the Superior Street
Bridge, ho was thrown under another
car r.nd a second cork leg" was cut off.
After the third accident, which oc
curred Inst fall when Conrad lost his
third false leg by getting in 'the way
of a train, he decided railroading was
too exciting for him and he went back
to his trade stone cutting.
Lately Conrad was steering a hob
sled In California Avenue and ran In
to a trolley car. The hoodoo artificial
leg iwas crushed under the wheels, 'but
no other damage was done.
Conrad will not purchase another
leg. He says that his attempts to
avoid crutches have proved too expen
sive. In addition, he Is a little apprehen
sive 'that the fateful ensrfne may get
after his good leg, which would imater
lally complicate matters.

COLLEGE KIDNAPERS
About Time That the Boys Stopped Along
This Line,
Sioux City, la. The secon'J case of
kidnaping of students from Morning
side College In a week was Indulged
In a week or so ago. The first time tho
sophomores spirited away a fro3hman,
but this last time the tables were turn
ed, and Ira Aldrlch, a sophomore, was
decoyed from his dinner to tho street,
bound 'and gagged by freshmen and
carried off. A freshmen's party was to
be held at the house of Miss Faye
Haux, In the northern part of the city,
six miles 'from the oollege. Aldrlch
was taken near there, his face covered
with lamphlack nnd led into the midst
of the freshmen's festivities. He was
made the 'butt of all sorts of humiliat
ing i)r(anks and then turned loose. He
was not to he dismissed, so easily and
hung around until opportunity offered
to sneak in through 'the hack door of
tho kitchen, where tho banquet, un
served, was piled. 'He took vast quan
tities of the more delicious e'Jibles and
left. He got a carriage back to the
college, and, calling his sophomore
friends, they engaged In an impromptu
banquet.
Gigantic Coal Deal.
The largest coal deal yet consum
mated in the Clarksburs district was
closed today when John T. McGraw
and associates purchased outright of
Martin Mullen of Cleveland, O., his
tract of 2,400 acres of valuable coal
territory, lying on the Monongahela
River Railroad, btween this city and
Falrmount, for $250,000. This tract Ilea
on Mud Lick anJ was the only remain
ing field of coal in this county undis
posed of up 'to this time. Engineers
are now making a survey from tho
Monongahela River Railroad to the
territory and extensive operations will
be begun at once, several openings
having alicady been located.
Among Mr. McGriw's associates is
Thomas M. King, of Pittsburg, former
vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad.
Tho offices of the Clarksburg Coal
Exchanges were opened today and ar
rangements perfected whereby the out
put of all coal mines in the Clarksburg
district will bo handled through a gen
eral office, located in Baltimore,, The
object of tho operators Is to secure and
promote uniformity in sale3 and ship
ping facilities similar to the plan long
since adopted in the Falrmount region.

Little Ono Takes Money JFrpM Mother's
Purse.V,
Minneapolis, Minn. "Sondme a de
tective right awavl" said , an excited
voice over tho telcpaono'yeVterday af
ter. thA offlcer at police 'headquarters
had said "Hello!" Hi his most pleasing
manner.
A rlaln clothe3 man made haste to
reach tho sceno of the disturbance.
Ho found t. woman who was boiling
over with indignation. She was so ex
cited th".t sho could hardly toll her
story.
She had been rbbbed of $3G, as she
believed. The co?l man had left a
load of fuel at the house, and he asked
for the money. Unwittingly she had
left her pocketbook on the kitchen
table, and when she returned tho driv
er was still there, but the money was
gone. Then she had to get some more
money and pay for tho coal.
The woman's natural conclusion was
that tho coal man had 'been dishonest
and had taken the money. The detec
tive listened to the story and then sug
gested that a search" bo made for the
'bills and silver, which ohnounted to
$36. As the officer was looking hlgn
and low and at the same time discus
sing tho matter with the woman, a
small voice piped out:
"Mamma, there's the money under
the table."
Tho "tip" was correct.and tho money
was found. The four-year-old baby
had playfully abstracted the cash from
tho purse and thrown it on tho floor.
When he heard his mother talking of
tho matter he recalled what he had
done.

SILVER WATCH
Recalls the Days When Old Van
Was Governor.
Twiller
Essex, Conn. Antiquarians are en
gaged Jn examining a watch found yes
terday on Poverty Island, at the mouth
of the Connecticut River, by Huh Gll
lariJ, clam digger ami vender. The
watch is a large silver one, to which
was attached a long, heavy chain, both
ends of which are fastened in the ring.
Five inches above the fastening of the
one end the chain had been cut nearly
in two.
The outside of the watch appears to
have been nicely engraved, but on the
hide which lay uppermost tho design
cannot be made out, as the action ot
the water and sand has made the plate
as smooth as Ice. On the inside of the
outer case is engraved a name, which
can not he made out and the date, 1C27.
Whether this really 13 an olid: relic
and imarks the sceno of an accident or
tragedy probably never will be known.
It is a fact, however, that In 1C32 Han3
Eensluys, of the famous West India
Company, landed at the mouth of tha
Connecticut and purchased a point ot
land from tho natives and erectdd then?
the arms of the States General of the
Netherlands, his object being to obtain
for the company the trade of tho river
valley, a plan which Van Twiller, Gov
ernor of tho New Netherlands, carried
out on a greater scale tho following
year.

SILVER PENNIES
Buried in an Earthen Jar for Almost Six
Hundred Years.
(LonUon Mail.)
Samuel McMlchan, 'plowman, of
Oloseburn, Dumfriesshire, has Just
brought to light a potf ul of silver pen
nles that were burled probably 587
years ago or thereabouts. His critical
eye noticed an unevenness In the
ground, and Samuel McMlchan stepped
back over the clods of that high lying
field to ascertain the cause. He found
that his plow had broken open an
earthenware riot, and before him lay
scattered hundreds of pieces of what
in his homely lowland way he called
-tin."
With a capful of "tin" the McMlchan
went off and consulted the farmer, and
most of the "tin" turned out to be sil
ver pennies of the reign of Edward I.,
who annexed Scotland, and Edward II ,
who lost It. There were over two thous
and of them, all In good preservation,
each measuring three-quarters of an
Inch across. They weighed Ave pounds
In bulk.
Tho oldest of the coins are those of
Alexander, of Scotland, who ruled from
1249 to 1285. There are also a few
bearing the mint mark of Waterford,
in Ireland. The latest are those of Ed
ward II., whom the Scots cheerfully
thra&hcd at Bannockburn in 1314. In
1313 Edward Bruce drove the English
oppressor out of Nlthsdale, and It Is
suggested that some Englishman, be
ing in a hurry to reach the border, put
his two thousand silver rennios In u
potsherd and hid it in the ground.
