RUMELY MAGAZINE PRAISES FELTMAH Veteran Gaar, Scott Shopman Called an Ideal Workman by Employers. In the February issue of "A News Bulletin," a monthly publication of the M. Ruraely company, to which corporation the Gaar-Scott plant was sold recently, there is a high tribute paid to David Feltman, of this city, who has been in the employ of the Gaar-Scott company for more than 52 years. The article follows: "Men rust out some wear out, but not 'many. Time and work have dealt kindly with many men like" David Feltman and John Hanna (an employe of the Rumely company at La Porte.) The stories of these two men are much alike stories of sobriety, contentment, healthful surroundings, and an instinct to do useful 'things so long as the whistle blows 'and the heart throbs. "To the subject of this sketch, Darvid Feltman, the first day of March 'each recurring year is, next to his Ibirthday, a day always remembered. On this date in the year 1860 he be!gan his apprenticeship in the old GaarjScott shop at Richmond, Ind. At that Itime the motive power was a water wheel and H. H. Land for many years :the general superintendent of the factory, was a foreman in the machine 'shop. Mr. Feltman has worked almost continuously on a lathe, at which work he 'is very skilled even at his advanced age, 70 years. "He was 18 years old when he beIgan his trade and in all the fifty-two lyears of his service he has lost but jfew day's work. He is one of the few linen in the Gaar-Scott factory who 'have been in the company's employ for more than half a century. His recollection of the early struggles of the little shop with an ordinary farmer's dinner bell to announce the time of beginning and quitting 'work, is very vivid. "Mr. Feltman is a well-preserved man for the weight of his years and 1b able to turn out as full a day's work as most .of the younger men in this big department of the Gaar-Scott plant. "He has reared a family that is a credit to the citizenship of Richmond and several of his sons are prominent business men in that city."

', An Age of Great Gamblers. The eighteenth century was the age of the great gamblers. On Feb. 6. 1772, there was a debate in the house of commons on- the thirty-nine articles, and It was noticed that Fox spoke .very indifferently. Horace Walpole suggests an explanation: "He had sat tip playing at hazard at Almack's from Tuesday evening, the 4th. till 5 in the afternoon of "Wednesday. Gth. An hour before he had recovered 12.000 that he had lost, and by dinner, which was at ?o'clock. he had ended losing 11.000. On the Thursday he spoke in the above debate, went to dinner at 11:30 at night, from there to White's, when he drank till 7 the next morning; thence to Almack's. where he won 6,000. and between 3 and 4 in the afternoon he set out for Newmarket," London Chronicle.

- A Blade of Grass. As an English writer has -written: 'Whenever you can find a single blade of grass, however small, there you stand face to face with the mystery of life and an the responsibilities of existence. It is of more interest than many of the stars, for. if astronomy is right, some stars are ceaselessly burning, and therefore, beautiful as they are from a distance, life' upon them (in the sense in which we understand life) Is Impossible. The roots of the humblest blade of grass go down to the . beginning of life in the world, and its - tip points to the sky. If you should chance to find a blade of grass witnering In a rocky place carry it a little (water for the sake of the thoughts that spring from it"

Wheu Landor was reading "Aurora Leigh" he wrote to John Forster that it was a great poem, "but there are a few flies on its surface." From that it is Borne distance to the contemporary lyric: There ar no flies on me. There may b on you 1 A bushel or two. There are no flies on me. . So when the poet Henley complained there is a wheel within my head" he little knew what a horrific future bis metaphor was to see. Collier's.

George W. Beatty, the well known Wright aviator, who has been doing all sorts of stunts with his aeroplane on Long Island lately. Beatty's latest was to fly to the rescue of an amateur birdman whose machine had taken a sudden dive to the earth, at the far end of the Mineola aviation field. Beatty jumped into his machine and flew tp the spot , where the wrecked machine and its injured pilot lay in a tangled mass.' Beatty put the injured man in his own machine and flew with him three miles to the large hangers where he was given medical attention. This is the first case on record where an aeroplane was used as an ambulance.

An

HIDDEN TREASURE. .T Ancient Church That U Said to

Guard a Precious Secret. A small building popularly known as "The Church of Hidden Treasure" stands in the little town of Barelas. N. M. During the Mexican war many of the richest families In the neighborhood hid their gold and Taluibles In all sorts of curious places. Senor Sandoval, a very rich landown

er, chose the thick walls of the Tillage church as his treasure vault, according to a writer in the Wide World, and tradition says that the precious board has never been removed. , Only a few years ago several groups of men. armed with pickaxes, crowbars and other implements. besieged the place in search of the fabulous wealth said to be concealed somewhere on the premises. The treasure is believed to be contained fo a large wooden chest. 6uch as most of the wealthy Mexicans formerly iossessed. It is claimed that the box contained thousands of dollars in gold, besides emeralds, diamonds and pearls, set In pure native gold. The Sandoval family, however, guard the place most carefully, while they in turn are jealously watched to see that they do uot disturb the church property. Bold and daring plans are sometimes laid, but nothing seems to come of them, and the ancient building still guards its precious secret.

SOILED POSTAGE STAMPS.

if They Are Ink Splashed They Wont Do to Put on Letters. "How dirty can a postage stamp become and still retain its usefulness in the eyes of the government?" was a question propounded to muddle the already overworked brain of a busy man. Happening to meet a postman who was collecting mail, the man handed him a stamped letter. "That won't go," said the postman. "Stamp's dirty." As was his wont on special, occasions the busy man resorted to sarcasm. "Since when," he demanded, "did the United States government become so immaculate that it requires none but unsullied stamps stuck on its letters?" "Well, they've always been pretty particular," returned the unperturbed postman, "but there are some kinds of dirt that count for more than others. That stamp's got ink on it. Inky stamps don't go because an ink spot could be used to disguise a canceled stamp." "Then I suppose every stamp I happen to drop a speck of ink on is wasted?" "Ob. no. Turn "it in to the office where you bought it, and after a certain period you will get your money back." "How long will that take?" the man asked. "About three months." "I'm afraid I can't wait." said the man. and over the discredited stamp he stuck a spotless stamp. Jfew York Times.
