One of the places in out neighborhood which is shunned alike by saint and sinner is tho old spring near our town, in Logan county, known as the Blue hole. Though legendary, the story I shall relate of this spring is true, for it has been corroborated vby -; the ' former ; generation, by . the older men of the present century. .1 According to - this story, when the Shaker village at South Union was first established by a few venturesome though hardy pioneers, a member of the sect was dispatched on horseback to put the money in a safe In the county capital. -? , When the treasure bearer reached the spring, ne rcae nis norse in to give it water, but rider and animal were swal lowed up, never to rise again. It is said that the Shaker's friends used as much as 600 feet of rope in an attempt to re cover tne ooay ana coin, out never Struck bottom. I myself have heard old men say they havo tried to find the bot tom of the spring by using hundreds of feet of card and a lead sinker, but with out success. Auburn (Ky.) News. Gratitude In Women.

It makes some of them decidedly uncomfortable when they pass a pin by, and even if expe rience has taught them that there is nothing to be gained by scooping up the pointed bit of wire they still dive for one whenever they see it An aged man was toddling across Payne avenue at its junction with "Wil son' tome time ago when between tbe street car rails at the very center of the curve he noticed a pin. It was a bright pin, and it caught his. rather, enfeebled gaze at once. Being a superstitious old gentleman, he determined to secure that pin. - With considerable effort be man aged to, bend over, when, just as his trembling fingers closed upon it,' with a whoop and a roar a cable car came swinging around the curve at the usual terrifying rate. The old man went one way, his cane and glasses and hat went the other. They rushed to - him and picked' him up. He was .badly bruised, and the ambulance wasy called. fAs they were lifting liira 4ntaJt- somebody no ticed something shining between his clinched fingers!) " ' It was the pin.

At one of the iron works in the north of England a good story is told at the expense of one of the foremen at the blast furnaces. ; f ' f " - The men ; known as the barrow men have a certain number of rounds or tar- rows of ore to wheel. to the furnace dur ing their eight hours of labor. One stormy night the foreman, who was suffering from a severe headache, retired to his cabin; but, being of a sus picious nature, he left the 'door open that be might hear if anything unusual The men had worked steadily on for aome time, passing the cabin with each barrow of ore on their way to the lift. At last one man in' passing the door re marked loudly to another, "One more TOund, Pat, and then" But the fore man, overhearing the remark and know ing it was a long way of ''knocking off" time, rushed to the door, exclaim ing: Ht!,,vt . .r' "And then what, my man?" "And then another," coolly replied the barrow man, and the foreman re tired. Liverpool Mercury. In the public schools of Japan the English language is required to be taught by law. ' - - in ii.
