ODDITIES OF THE MEWS
Fra?k Incidanta ia tha Llfa Story of
? ha World aa Hap vtad by ill*
Daily Paper
Tbe say i np that truth is stranger
than tiction is trite, but its truth is
ever brought to mind in the reading of
that slight reeoid of things that hap
pen, found in the daily newspaper. If
this imperfect record of fact puts fancy
to rtight, what would happen if the
story was complete? Here are a fe%
of the oddities of the news taken from
a run through the bunch of exchanges
that arrived in the last mail:
J. W. Dennis, a wealthy citizen of
Hardinsvilie. III., visiting Portland,
Ore., was taken by a friend to the Hei'
ig theater together with bis wbo'e fam
ily, two of bis daughters oeiog grown.
Neither parents or children bad ever
before seen the inside of a theater.

In tbe same courtroom at David City,
Neb., where four years ago she was
found guilty of murdering her husband
and sentenced to life imprisonment,
Mrs. Lena M. Lillie was recently given
a judgment for 12500 on a life insur
anc policy taken out by her murdered
husband. The policy with interest
amounts to $3050. A year ago Mrs.
Lillie was pardoned by Governor Mick
ay and is now employed in a Lincoln,
Neb., department store.

Herman Heoz, consumed with an am
bit too to build an airship be bad in
vented, but not having money enough,
turned hfs talents to making counter
feit coin. Although his work waa 10
excellent that the product could not be
distinguished from the real stuff, some
children discovered his p'ant and put
the authorities on. He goes to Sing
Sing for six years.
? ??It
The blowing up of a locomotive en
gine is one of the most unusual of hap*
peniogs, but recently such look place
near Burke, Idaho, on the Northern
Pacific. Three men were killed and a
fourth badly wounded. The mangled
body of one of the men was thrown a
hundred feet, falling into the front
dooryard of his motner's house. The
mother, running out to see the cause of
the noise, found it there.

Benjamin Hadley, a millionaire, died
at Somerville. Mass., 90 years of age, a
bachelor. Only once had he been be
yond the limits of the greater Boston;
he never joined any kind of organiza
tion, never had his life insured, never
purchased a ticket for any sort of en
tertainment, never ate a meal in a hotel
or restaurant and did not spend more
than one dollar in his entire life for car
fare. He b?d not voted for forty years.
Phillip Rarapt, a one-armed German
farm laborer, New York, 60 years old.
husband of second wife, father of 23
children, was sent to pentitentlary for
abusing wife habitually. He had al
ways escaped punUhment before by
getting his wife to withdraw the
charge and then beating her for it
when they got home. The unususl fea
tures here, i< should be stated, arc the
penitentiary and the 23 children.
Wives who stand for the beating and
the children are not so rare.

Charle? W. Chace, a well-to-do farm
er of Massachusetts, 99 years of age,
whose friends were interested to see
him round out the century mark, disap
pointed them bv taking paris green.
Be left a note saying: "I would like to
keep on living as a matter of pride, but
what Is the use. I am tired."

Two incidents worthy of coming into
this story have been printed la the
Alaskan: The death of Nancy Neaaton
at the age of 95, it the result of a bath,
the first since her babyhood, and the
death of an employe of the Waterbury
Buckle Co., a woman who bad missed
but Ave days from her machine in forty
six years employment and who had rc*
fused vacations and a raise of wages.
On the day of the funeral the works
were chut down. Tbe proprie ors saw
where they should do honor to ih<t sort
of employe.
Tbat story about the "biggejt build
ing" to be located at Tacoma would In
dicate tbat the advertising agent of
that town was out after an increase of
salary.
If Indiana is not for Fairbanks who
should be for him?
E1E/S PROMISE
Forth from our Paadise we have
Oten driven.'
With stern and flaming sword btf .ire

Implacable the awful Angel waits;
Those mighty walls cannot be scaled
or riven,
And unto us 'twill nevermore be given
To wander in tbe Summer-soented
air,
To dream through lllied hours with
out a care;
With bitter sorrow we must now be
shrive j.
Bleak lies the world before our troubl
ed gaze;
And yet? we are togather! Tt^nk
how bare,
'10 cae of us left wandei log lonely
there,
Eden itself bud seemed, how loner the
days.
Oh, Adam, lordfof roe, lift up thine
eyes ?
1 yet sb ill lead thee back to P ratline!
