Robbery Disclosed

While fishing near the Chris Hahn farm, just south of town, in the Blue Grass last week, Charley Evans discovered something very unusual in the water and upon examination found it to be some jewelry. He Immediately came up town and reported the matter to the city marshal, B. L. Darnold. Mr. Darnold went with him to the place and they took out of the water's edge about half dozen hat pins, three watch foos, two bracelets, some side combs, and several small pins. Tnis was all good jewelry. Mr. Darnold called upon each jeweler in the city and F. M. Tharnish was the only one who claimed any part of the jewelry. Mr. Darnold turned the property over to Mayor Spencer and be turned it over to the County Attorney H. J. Mantz. There is possibly some $25. or $30. worth of the jewelry and how it got there is a mastery but it was evidently dumped there by souie one who became alarmed lest he was being discovered with stolen goods. The County Attorney will hold the property for investigation and then if Mr. Tharnish can prove his property be will get it and the balance will be turned over to Charles Evans. (Charley certainly acted the part of good judgemert in reporting the matterr-to on officer before be touched it.'

MACHINE MAKES NOODLES

Complete Little Manufacturing Plant In Italy That Will Cut the Goods "To Order."

A noodle machine Is a complete little manufacturing plant In itself, and will turn out In a short time noodles enough to supply the town. It can be operated by hand or by mechanical power. It requires only about oneeighth of a. horsepower to run the 'larger-sized machine.

The machine can be adjusted in a second so as to 4ut the noodles different sizes, from the width of a thread up to half azx Inch. Although a small machine, it Is mighty in the work It performs. It may be placed where customers can see it, and the noodles "cut to order."

Contrary to general supposition, noodles are also used for dishes other than soup. Noodle Boup In itself, however. Is a (fish relished by nearly everybody regardless of nationality. The noodles must, of course, first be boiled by the housewife, after which they may be served In various ways.

The Germans often serve noodles with German prunes. Noodles may also be served with milk seasoned to guit the taste with salt and butter. They may be served with chili. The Italians take the cooked noodles, add seasoned tomatoes and bake for half an hour. Noodles make an excellent dessert by pouring melted butter over them and adding chopped nuts or fruit—Baker's Weekly.

SELOUS A HARDY EXPLORER

While Traveling In the Wilds of Africa for Year* He Always Slept on the Ground.

Mr. Selous, a distinguished hunter and explorer, was in England, and telling something of his methods when In the wilds of Africa. How little he cared for personal comfort qiay be gathered from his remark that he Inever thought of taking any sort of ,conveyanoe, even to the extent of a 'hammock for ease by day or rest at 'night, and would not be encumbered jby a tent. Igor weeks together, year 'after year, he slept on the ground, icovered only by something in the 'shape of a blanket. Asked If there were any reptiles to disturb repose under such circumstances, Mr. Selous replied that, although venonTous snakes were to be found, bites from them were very rare, and in all bis experience he had never known anybody, either native or European, killed by a snake bite In Mashonaland. "In fact," he said, "you run 'more risk of being killed by an omnibus In London streets than we do by Venomous^ snakes In African forests."

WHY LINCOLN GREW A BEARD

Amusing and Pretty Little Story of a Wee Miss Who First Suggested It to Him.

There are thousands of authentic portraits and pictures of Abraham Lincoln in existence today. When he was a young lawyer in Illinois, "riding the circuit" in the country districts of that state, he was photographed by local photographers hundreds of times, and gradually, as he became famous in politics, his picture was taken many more times by experienced and skillful photographers in the larger cities, each one of them attempting to excel the other in the best likeness, of the man who was occupying so much attention throughout America and Europe, says a writer In Pittsburg Dispatch. Naturally, too, during nis administration, and as a successful close, he was not only snapped, but caricatured at every possible phase—from the sublime to the ridiculous.

During Lincoln's presidential campaign he received a letter from a cer-

"You See, Grace, I've Let My Whiskers Grow."

tain small "Miss" expressing very frankly the opinion that she thought he would look much nicer with "whiskers." The child's naive simplicity evidently appealed to him, for he at once began to "cultivate" them.

Several years after Mr. Lincoln's death, the incident, by many people considered a myth, became known in detail, and was found to have an exceedingly substantial basis. The little girl in question was Grace Bedell, who lived in Westfleld, Chautauqua County, New York. Her father, who was a stanch Republican, was a great admirer of his party's choice for president in 1860, and one day carried a big campaign poster home with him. On the poster was a picture of Lincoln and Hamlin, around whose faces was an appropriate border of rail fences. Little Grace examined the picture carefully, and then exclaimed: "Mr. Lincoln would be twice as good looking if he had /^Mskers like you, papa"—over whichvopinion the family had a he&rty laugh.

But the child was mortified at their mirth and at the fact that her remark was being made a joke of when she was in dead earnest about the matter. In the privacy of her room she determined to write to Mr. Lincoln herself, feeling sure that he would not misunderstand her, even though her own family had.

Imagine her astonishment, when, in the latter part of October, a letter came to the village postofflce for Grace Bedell, with a signature which said, "Your very sincere well-wisher, A. Lincoln." The letter was as follows:

My Dear Little Miss—Your agreeable letter of the 15th Is received. I regret tfce necessity of saying that I have no daughter. 1 have three sons one 17, one 9 and one 7 years of age. They, with their mother, constitute my whole family. As to the whiskers, never having worn any, do you not think people would call It a piece of silly affection if I began wearing them now? $

Your very sincere well-wisher, 'UiS A. LINCOLN. The letter didn't exactly promise he would follow her suggestion, but ap parently he took it to heart and acted on It shortly afterward. He evidently kept the girl in mind all the time, too, for when he arrived In Westfleld on his campaign tour he asked from the platform whether here was a small miss In the audience named Grace Bedell. When the surprised girl was brought forward Mr. Lincoln climbed down oft the platform, took her up in his arms and, kissing her, said: "You see, Grace, I've let my whiskers grow for you."

And thus it has gone down In history that It was on acoount of a child's request that Mr. Lincoln "grew whls kers." The little girl, Grace Bedell, who brought about this ohange, married before she was "an old maid" and Went to live In Delphos, Kan.
