Cotton, dean of Rush Medical College, Chi­ cago, that love is a disease due to a microbe. Mr. Farr has bad six wives, 39 chil­ dren, 231 grandchildren and 56 great­ grandchildren. He has seen his 250 or more descendants married and bearing children, and then, too, his experience as the husband of six wives, and living with all at the same time, makes him an authority on the question of love. There is no fine spun mysticism or sentimental poetry in the mind of this father of thirty-nine children. Hia definition of love was unmistakably plain. "Love!" he said, without hesitation^ MISER'S CHART IS MISSING. Paper Showing Location of Buried Wealth Suddenly Disappears. The recent settlement and distribu­ tion of the estate left by Joseph Co- natser, a miser, has again set the peo­ ple of Whitman (Wash.) county guess­ ing as to what became of a chart showing the location of various places where Conatser had burled his money. Just before death Conatser gave Thos. Keyes, his closest friend, a plat which contained a number of marks, dots and figures, and pointing from the window of his cabin, showed the spot where much money was buried. He asked Keyes to dig it up, and in an old tin can the latter found $260 in gold coin. Conatser gave Keyes to understand that each spot on the chart marked a place where the cola was concealed. When it was found necessary to move the old man to a hospital this chart and his other papers were sewed inside of Conatser's vest. After his death all the papers were turned over to the court, with the exception of the chart The mystery which surrounds the lost chart may never be explained, and the accumulations of Joseph Conatser, the Sunset miser, may remain buried forever. Victory Due to Lost Key. An amusing incident occurred at Cuxhaven during some landing maneu­ vers which were being carried out by the German fleet. An adversary's fleet was supposed to be attempting to force the efitrance to the Elbe, which was defended by troops on shore. The first attack of the "enemy" had been repulsed dur­ ing a severe storm. The troops on shore retired to their bivouac, and to protecet the rifles from the rain, which was coming dow$ in torrents, they locked them up in a small wooden house. Suddenly the alarm sounded, but on rushing to get thei? weapons the key of the house was not to be found. When after considerable delay, the rifles were distributed, it was found that the "enemy" had fqrced the en trance and thus gained the victory.' --London Mail. 'Hove is the natural affection between man and woman that has its founda­ tion in the desire to perpetuate the rslce. That's love, but oh, how many there are to-day who marry with dif­ ferent thoughts in their minds." For a few minutes the old man seemed lost in reveries of years long gone. "Did I tell you that I agree with Roosevelt's views on the marriage question?" he asked. "His thoughts meet mine exactly. "Love often comes at first sight," he continued. "With my first wife it did. It is not always, though, that this feeling comes at first sight. But love comcs as soon as the man and woman are well acquainted. If theyk love each other they do not have to keep com* pany for year* to find It out." PREACHER TBLL8 FUNNY 8TORY. r Dr. Par! Ccmiv Imur Dr. Parkhurst Narrates Anecdote of a verted Savage. urst delivered himself of a story In the course of his sermon in the Madison Square Presbyterian church at New York on a recent Sun­ day. This is the story: "An African chief became converted and moved to London, where he wore fashionable clothes and behaved in every way as an irreproachable man. One day ho was giving a lecture in a church on the advantages of a peace­ ful, civilised lif6. His collar did not fit well, and In attempting to adjust It he tore open the buttonhole. "The ripping shirt band brought back all his old savagery, and he shouted out that civilization was all a sham, and he wished he was back in his old life. Whereupon he pulled off his collar, his coat and trousers and finally stoocl in the garb of the un­ adorned savage. Then he set fire to the church and took to the woods. "If his buttonhole had been a little stronger," added Dr. Parkhurst, "he would probably have remained an Irre­ proachable man the rest of his life. That's the way with much of our civilization and virtue. A very small thing will reveal the real conditions." Agrees to Inaugurate Preliminary Work by Survey of State.

Be off; I never want to see ypu^again." Satisfied Alt Around^ A Philadelphlan wrote Recently to the department of public safety com­ plaining about the barking of dogB in the vicinity of his home.

Great Power Seeks to Pi event War in the Balkans. I gather in the course of a convex sation with a Russian authority on the Near Eastern question that the scope of Russia's plans in the event of war breaking out between either Turkey and Bulgaria, or Turkey and Bulgaria assisted by other Slav nationals, Is sufficiently broad to provide for any contingency. Should Bulgaria, in spite of Russia's warning not to provoke hostilities with Turkey, decide on a campaign against the suzerain power, Russia will nevertheless be forced by her very position as leading Slav power to side agaipst Turkey. My informant adds, however, that Bulgaria's territories at the end of such a campaign would not Include a single foot more Balkan territory than they do to-day.

TOMBSTONE WRONG 125 YEARS. Was Not Placed Over Bodies «f Wf tims of Wyoming Massacre. • A workman digging a pole hole re­ cently discovered a mistake the fright­ ened settlers of the Wyoming valley made in 1778, when, after the mas­ sacre, they returned to the .valley and erected a gravestone over the spot where the two settlers first killed by the tories and Indians under Butler were buried. It was found that the gravestone which marked the spot' was some distance from where the bodies were buried. These men, Benjamin and Stuklsgr Harding, had gone to work in th* fields above Wyoming in what is now Exeter" borough. They were attacked and killed by the Indians on June S0» 1778. The next day a party of men from Fort Wyoming buried the bodies. The following day the massacre oc­ curred, and it was some weeks after­ ward when the survivors, returning to the valley, erected a gravestone over where they believed the bodies to be buried. On it was the inscription, which can be deciphered to this day, "Sweet be the sleep of those who pre­ ferred death to Blavery." In time other graves were dug about this head­ stone and a fence was erected. A lineman digging in the road near the fence for a pole found several bones and two skulls. These lay par­ allel with the headstone, and have been identified as the remains of the Hardings. The bones will now after 125 years, be placed under tfrc ,ftftad- stone. • SI Jfe-i -J Mf-Boy Turning to Stone. James Wells, nineteen years old, who resides near Gorham, N.
