A Fool and His Money
A sucker is a man who sends his
money to a city fakir The mails are
burdened with tons and tons of circu
lars of every discription sent out by
fakirs or fakir sharks in the big cities
offering inducements to men of means
for investment They cover absolutely
every field of speculation Annually
millions upon millions of what they call
in places like Chicago and New York
country money is absorbed Nobody
Knows better than the shrewd city spec
ulator that the man who thus sends is
a sucker He is a lamb who walks into
the wolves deu The only astounding
feature is that it is possible to continue
the same game year in and year out
They keep up their business however
on the theory that a sucker is born every
minute Bent Murdock

A BASHFUL LOVER
The Professor Was a Shy Wooer but
Finally Got the Lady
Dr Llaldsine at one time a professor
of St Andrews university was a very
shy man This latter failing prevented
him from asking any lady to become
his wife until he was well ad sauced
in life
However he plucked up courage oiip
day redecorated his house and went
to call on the object of bis affections
The lady seeing the doctors emhiir

and painting yet Pin told yum new
carpets sire just heautifu Thej say
the pattern o the dining room chairs
is just quite out o the way In stmiL
that everything a boot the House is just
perfect
Here was a providential ooening he
was not such u goose as to overlool
He advanced his chsiir sidled toward
her simpering the while raised His
eyes furtively to ber face and said
with a gentle inflection ol his voice
which no ear but a willftilli deaf one
could have misinterpreted- si na
Miss Jane its no quite perfect It
canusi be quite that so long as theres
one thing wanting
And what can thsit be asked the
Imperturbable spinster
Utterly thrown on his beam ends b
her willful blindness to his meaning
the poor doctor beat a busty ret resit
drew back his chair from Us dsinger

in tones of blighted hope gsisped forth
his declsiration in these words- Kh

THE WORD FELL0WV
Its Course From the Universities Into
Everyday Life
The word bachelor mean originally
cowboy a youth who looked attei
the cow from the low Latin Dacca
and through the classical Lsitin vacca
In course of time the term wsis gi
en in scorn to voluntarily un wedded
men by ladies who had sharp tongues
The word was taken over by the um
versilies in the middle ages and tin1
degree of bachelor was not supposed
to be given to any man who mid en
tered into the state ot marriiuouy
The word fellow has had a some
whsit similat fate as tat as the ladies
and the universities were concerned
The universities of Oxford and Cam
bridge to name but two grant fellow
ships worth from 1f00 to JnIOOU pel
annum at the various colleges to un
married honor gradmiies of high dis
tiuction If a fellow should enter
into matrimony he srill loses oi tor
feits his fellowship As the fellows
were generally men ot apparent opu
lence or at lesist comfort in regsird to
living and dress they readily attracted
the attention ot ladies who were think
ing of settling down in life When
an acquaintanceship was formed be
tween a fellow and a marringeble
lady things usually went very delight
fully until the tsiir schemer discovered
the academic status ot the man Then
the expression Pooh he is a fellow
came very nam rally to her lips And
so it crept into secular or lay lite and
begat its unkind meaning Hut of
course if the graduate was willing to
sacrifice his fellowship and its emolu
ments for the sake ot the fair indys
lovely eyes and why he be
came a good lellow which Is a horse

TWIN EARTHQUAKES
Two Distinct Series of Shocks Are Felt
Almost Simultaneously
Among the most Interesting earth
tremors from a scientific point of view
are those known as twin earth
qusikes where two distinct series of
shocks are felt separated by an inter
val of two or three seconds In each
series the vibrations increase to a
maximum and die away the whole
duration including the quiet interval
being eight to twelve seconds In some
parts of the earthquake zone the most
powerful shocks are nearly always ot
this kind When they occur how
ever there is always a strip of coun
try where only one shock is felL
Apparently there are two distinct
points of origin for these shocks and
the strip where a single shock is telt is
that where the two sets of vibrations
arrive simultaneously The fsid that
this hand is straight shows that the
twin shocks occin togethet and that
therefore one is not a consequence ot
the other Probably there is an S
shaped bend in some interior layer of
rock and the twin foci are at the points
of greatesi displacement namely the
bends of the S The movement thsit
causps such a twin earthqusike there

earning the title the hero of the era- of the fold in the eurths crust iew

played
The third division of the Ninth army
corps was commanded by General
John F Iltrtrsinft who led the divi
sion in many other notable engage
ments besides those in the vicinity of
Petersburg After the war he served
as governor of Pennsylvania
On the east and west sides of the
monument are inscribed the enlist
ments the killed wounded and prison
ers of the six Pennsylvania regiments
of infantry in General Flnrtrafts divi
sion The names of the places where
they fought are marked on the obelisk
Directly in front of the monument
stands a Federal soldier of heroic size
in bronze holding a banner and a rifle
During his stay in Petersburg Pres
ident Taft was entertained at Center

now the residence of Charles Hall Dsi
