Flicker of an Eyelash Sam Man From Morgue Detroit, June 3. The flicker of an eyelash changed E. M. Sartheim's destination from the morgue to a re ceiving hospital when Deputy Coro ner Conley called for the body of the supposed suicide. Emergency measures taken by the hospital re sulted in his recovery. Sarheim slashed his throat with a razor in s fit of despondency and was reported dead. After ordering a slab the morgue prepared for the body. Conley responded to the call with a coffin. He was about to de posit Sarheim in the coffin when a slight quivering of the man's eye lash indicated that he was not dead.

Question of Who Was Right War Dropped by Oldest "One Side About as Right as Other' Sisters De cide After CI Years. El Paw, Tex., Junt 3-A eon. troveny of 61 years standing over war lias been settled at Clint, near here, without ny sid from Washing ton. In fact, the Washington peart conferees knew nothing about the dispute at Clint and the conferees at Clint hsd but slight inkling of the jamboree at Washington, ilthougri both had far-reaching effect. The Clint controversy began with the civil war and the "conferees." both seed women and twins, never separated for more than a few days at time, could never agree on wnetner the north or south was right in that conflict. The husband of one served with the union army and the hunhand of the other was in the southern army. The Clint twins are Mrs. Mae I'eake and Mrs. Hell Billings. 83. Since birth they have lived together, before their marriage, while their husband were lighting during the civil war and afterwards. They got along well together, both say, until this war came along, and then they had their hmt dispute. And while they have always been sisterly and af fectionate, there were times when they almost decided it was best to live apart, and the deaths of their husbands, 16 and IK years ago, failed to end the controversy. Decide to Bury Hatchet The twins were born at Camden, Me., in January of 1839, went to Keokuk, la in 1854, and a few years later to Missouri. The family name was Tarbell. Mae Tarbcll married Dr. W. I'eake, a Virginian. Bell Tarbell married at the same time John Billings, a Connecticut man. Naturally Virginia and Con necticut could not see .the war in the same light, so Peake joined the southern and Billings the northern army, leaving the twins at home. The wives took up their husbands' cause, Mse championing the south ;vnd Bell the north, and they have been championing thus for the last 61 years. Mrs. Peake. the spryer of the two, acted as spokesman and told of the decision to bury the hatchet. "You see, it was this way," she ex plained. "Bell is a mighty sweet girl, always has been, and we lived The Handy JACK KNIFE Boy Scout Special $1.75 Spoar anS PuncS Blade,. Mills .

Bell and I wouldn't be separated from each other, and yet we would not agree on anything in that war. Only once were we apart, and that was when Bell's husband was captured. She went to the southern camp and, although olficers there tried to get her to come home, she wouldn't do it without her hii-har.d, and. being persistent, she finally got him. Well, the war ended and our husbands came backhand we all went together to California, but Bell and I still argued about the war. That was the only thing we did argue about. Our husbands said they wished there never had been any war, if it was going to result in such a long quarrel, but what could we do? We're from Maine, and neither of us would give in. Almost Had Peace. "During the Spanish-American and world wars, we almost had peace, but something would always come along to start the fuss. Then a few days ago Bell a,nd I were out in the" yard making a kettle of lard. We always worked together. " 'Bell. I said.

'Doesn't make any difference if we are from New England. Life's too short to wor.y over something that happened that long ago. I want to take things quietly from now on, and besides the papers say there ain't going to be any more war. If you'll stop and not mention the war again, I II do the same. 1 think you're part right, any way.' "Well, Bell looked at me kinda funny and smiled, and said: 'Why Mae, I've been wanting to stop talk ing about that blamed war all these years, but I just hated to give in. Pne side was about as right as the other anyway, and I'll quit if you'll quit. There's nothing in war any way.' Has 13 Children. "So that's how it happened, and we're happier than we have been since 1861, and we don't care any thing about the old war now, do we Bell?" and she turned to her twin for confirmation. Bell smiled a wrinkly, but kindly smile. , "We certainly don't," she said, and picked up her sewing. Mrs. Peake has 13 children and 26 grandchildren, but her sister has no offspring.
