"Paul Leicester Ford" says th
Philadelphia Record "was quit
4i familiar figure in .Philadelphi
when- he Avas .gathering- material
forliis biographical works dealing
with the lives of Washington anc
Franklin. Much of his research
was accomplished in-the rooms o:
the Historical Societ' of Pennsyl
.vania at Thirteenth and Locust
streets and there de delved intc
musty documents early and late
seeming. indefatigable in his la-
bors! He had a little desk re-
served for his own use on the
Thirteenth streets side of the
building wharc the light waj
best and there the pathetic till
eagre figufe'of the little hunch-
back" could be seen every day'foi
several weeks poring over the re-
cords and copying notes with ar
apparently tireless -energy. He
'lived very quietly here and made
few friends but many frequenters
of the Historical Society's buildv
ing will recall the crouched up lit-
tle man working away in the corner."-

The Strange Case of Mrs. Gillespie.
A strange case is that of Mrs.
Mary Elvira Gillespie who at the
age of 85 has just been admitted
to a hospital in Denver. She is
the mother of thirty-seven chil-
dren including fifteen sets of
twins but all have drifted away
from her and she knows not the
address of one of them.
Connecticut's Fox Industry.
Connecticut towns have paid
bounties on 1272 foxes killed
within their limits during the
past year. The state law allows
a bounty of $1 for each fox killed
and the state refunds to the town
the amount paid and also allows
the town treasurer 15 cents for
iiis services in each case.
Unique Charleston.
Charleston is the only city of
the United States affirms Victor
Smith 'in which the publication of
women's names is objected to by
the women themselves and their
menfolk. In big Northern cities
society boasts its social secreta-
ries whose duty it is to inform
the newspapers of the movements
of matrons and dowagers employ-
ing them. The highest-salaried
secretaries are those young
women who succeed by hook or
crook in capturing the most space
in the daily journals.. One bright
girl receives $25 a week from the
wife of a New York paper general
for keeping that lady's name be-
fore the public.
Unique Wedding Gift
An ingenious wedding present
has been received by a French
bride from one of her relatives
who is a geographer. The present
is a silver sugar bowl in the de-
sign of a terrestial globe the up-
per hemisphere forming the cov-
er. The map of the earth has
been elaborately engraved on the
outside and tlje route taken by
the newly wedded pair is indicat-
ed by a line of lapislazuli the
names of the towns at which a
stay-was made being inserted in
