Powers of the logging firm of Powers & Simpson, is arranging to dissolve partnership, says the Duluth Evening Herald, under a Hibbing date line of the 19th. Mr. Powers 1s arranging his affairs that he may go|3 8 to the state of Washington and attend to his large logging interest in that state. Mr. Simpson will close up the business of the firm here. Mr. Powers is one of the Pioneer citi- zens of this section and general re- gret is expressed over his determipa- tion to move away. Origin of Expression “23” The origin of the expression ‘‘23” for you” is in dispute. Some claim that it came from Dickens’ novel, ‘A ‘Tail of Two Cities,’ where the hero was 23 at the guillotine. But23 is also the number that telegraphers use for ‘keep off the wire,” is the number of the insane ward at Bell- evue hospital, is the nuraber of verses in Genesis where Adam and Eve were wrdered out of Eden, and was the number of the rule in old base ball books giying the umpire authority to ct a player from the grounds, It said that the race tracks were formerly laid out wide enough for 22 that 23 would be left. ther story 1s that a big New York .in numbering its rooms acci- tally left out No. , and the < whenever he had an objection. uest registered. would tell. the to “show the gentleman No, 23,” meaning to kick him out. ‘SHOE RERAIRING Rubber Work, Ete, Have had 35 years’ experience FRED WANSTRUM es so Your patronage solicited.

The folly of hunting for a leak in a gas pipe with a lighted match is not 80 much because of the danger of an explosion as of other damage, as is Shown by the experience of a West Philadelphia householder last week. One or two small leaks were detected by going over all the pipes and hold- Ing a lighted match to them.

Another visit to the celHar showed a charred floor joist a little distance above a gas pipe. These was no apparent cause for this until ® very close examination discovered that a tiny jet of gas was issuing from the pipe beneath the beam. It was lighted, but was so small as to be blue in color and nearly invisible. It had been lighted by the match used fn the first investigation, but had not been noticed. “If that leak had happened to be in a lead joint instead of an iron con- nection,” said a gas man, “there would probably have been work for the fire department. The smallest vossible jet of lighted gas issuing through lead will-in time heat and melt the lead and make the leak larg- er, until a big flame is issuing. This may make a fire hours later, in the dead of night or at a time when no one is in the house. The only prop- .er way to look for these very small leaks is to paint the suspected pipe with a smooth soap lather. Just as in the case of a bicycle tire, the tini- est leak will blow a bubble in the lather, and there you are.”—Philadel- phia Record. LAST BOURBON AT VERSAILLES Orange Tree Has Survived Rule of French Dynasty. There is at Ver S an orange tree close upon 500 years old. This tree, which was taken from Fontaine- bleau to Versailles on the completion lof the Orangery, was already fa- mous under the title of the Grand }Bourbon. According to tradition, the |tree had been planted in 1421 by a | Princess of Navarre, and, after sev- eral changes of owners, came into the possession of Francois I., by whom it was placed at Fontainebleau. / When it reached Versailles the King came to yisit it, and two Grand Bour- bons were then face to face. The man passed, and even his bones, torn from their tomb at St. Denis and tossed in- to a trench, have perished; not a pinch of his dust remains. But the tree lives and blooms and bears fruit —the only Bourbon at Versailles—se- rene, invincible,- enthroned.—From Farmer's Versailles. _ Fist Known Use of Paper.

Few Women Faint. It is a curious fact, of general re mark, and observed not by physicians only, that fainting is less common han it used to be. It is rare that one sees a woman carried out of a church oe theater, yet forty years ago it was a mafter of such common occurrence as barely to excite remark. This is due in very great measure to the out- door life young women lead in these days of tennis and golf and other sports. The heart and the circulation are strengthened by exercise in the open air and it takes a great shock to disorder the blood balance in the body of the modern woman. Scared by the Sentence. When the late Judge Newton of Southboro presided over the court in Westboro, he had before him one day g. poor and illiterate Frenchman ac- cused of selling liquor. As it was his first offense, he was fined $50, Evidéntly $50 was a fortune to the Frenchman, and it was also evident that he had a vague conception of | the seriousness of his crime, for, turn: ing a startled look on the judge, he exclaimed in wild tones: “For God’s sake, judge, why didn’t yer hung me?” —Boston Herald.
