SECRET BURIED IN A TOMB “Jerome,” Nova Scotl*’* Legleae Man of Mystery, Silent for Half Century, la Dead. Within a few hundred yards of a beach where fifty-one years ago two fishermen found him with bls legs amputated, "Gerome,” Nova Scotia's man of mystery, died a few days ago, silent to the end about his identity. Although he undoubtedly possessed the power of speech, "Gerome" had not conversed with anyone In the half century he had been cared for by Didier Comeau and the latter’s sons and daughters. During all of this time "Gerome" had remained a mystery to the settlers here, most of whom are known as "returned Acadians,” being the descendants of the compatriots of Evangeline who returned to this part of their adopted country after their expulsion by the English In 1755. Away back In the summer of 1861, according to tradition, a ship different from these usually seen here, put off a small boat which made for the shore and deposited above the tide line an object that several hours later was discovered to bs a man. His legs had been freshly amputated and there was a Jug of water and a package of ship's biscuits beside the man. who had suffered greatly from exposure. Wrapped In blankets and taken to the Comeau house, where, ever since j he had been a welcome member of ! tbe household, the man was finally revived by a physician. In half a dozen languages the man was asked: "What Is your name?” To this question, in Italian, propounded by the ' elder Comeau, the man made enut- | tered reply: "Gerome!” Never after that, however, did “Gerome” utter a word except on one occasion, when asked where he came from. “Trieste” was the reply made, seemingly in an unguarded moment. Physicians from all parts of the world who liase visited this land of Evangeline in the fiftyo-ne summers that have elapsed since "Gerome" was found on the beach, have studied the man’* case Most of them have agreed that he might have spoken had be desired to do so: one or two have vouchsafed the, opinion that some terrible experience through which “Gerome" passed frightened him out of his senses and rendered him unable to utter at intelligible word. —New York .World. A Home Ruler Before Gladstone. Sir Wilfrid Lawson was a home ruler long before Mr. Gladstone. In 1881, when the Liberal government , yas engaged in a policy oi flCtlY 6 | presfilou in Ireland. Lawson. In Ats an- , drees to his constituents at Carlisle, j summarized the situation with charac- j tertlstic shrewdness. "I am convinced ; of one thing.” he said, “that, as sure- ' ly as I stand here, a disaffected nation. | hating the rule of the nation that gov- j eras it. is not a source of strength I to that country, but a source of weakness to everyone concerned in the matter. Suppose you had a housemaid who was continually breaking the crockery, who w'ent into hysterics once a week, and had to be put into a strait waistcoat, and three or four policemen brought in to keep her in order. would ycu keep her? No; y6u ’ would say: ‘Wayward sister, go in | peace’”—London Chronicle. Sir Henry Irving a Victim. Mr. Grossmlth, the noted English I funmaker, just deceased, was an In ; veterate joker, and Sir Henry Irving j was once his victim when they were I both staying at the same hotel at : Manchester. Mr. Grossmith. seeing an enormous crowd outside the hotel, | said to ths porter: "Are these peo- | pie waiting to see me?” Ou being told that they were waiting tj see Sir Henry he turned up ths collar of his overcoat, adjusted his eyeglasses, pulled his soft hat down over his eyes and walked down the steps with the Irving gait. There was great cheering, but when Sir Henry Irving went down later the crowd bad dispersed. Afterward. when Sir Henry heard of the incident. he said to Mr. Grossmlth, with a twinkle In his eye: “You ought not to have done that: I pay those people to come here every night.”—London Mail. ■ Belated Appreciation. A workman called at the home of i President Taft's brother Charlie, in I Cincinnati, to perform some odd job, and he paused to note some of the priceless paintings In Brother Charlie's private gallery. He was attracted to a small original Van Dyke and i moved up closer to get a better look I "Ah!” he exclaimed. ‘Tve got that same thing down home. Yes. it’s ex- I actly like that. My wife got it some . place here in town. Are they worth j much?” "That one is worth $35,000,” he was told. "Hum!" he murmured. "I guess I'll ' have ours framed.” A Well-Meaning Bride. “Darling, ’ said the young bride, “1 don’t mind you going to baseball games.” "Thank you. dearie,” be said. "But there Is one thing 1 wish you'd do.” "And what ia that?" he inquired. "When the team is going to play aa extra-inning game I want you to call me up beforehand so that I will know when to have supper ready." Nothing of th* Kind. “Do you think that student ba* »o» Ulgia?” "Oh. nothing no serious a* Gwt He’s lu*t homesick ”
