Once Was Blind But Now Can See Washington, Pa.?Totally blind since she was less than a year old, 18-year-old Mary Grabowsky, second daughter of Walter Grabowsky, penniless coal miner of Coal Center, this county, walked out of the Washington hospital today, scarcely /able to conceal her delight and asking officers of the Red Cross to hurry her home that she might see her mother for the first time. Pronounced hopelessly blind, with verdicts from many physicians that she would never see, Mary was to have been sent to the Western Pennsylvania School for the Blind. A rare and unusual operation performed on her right eye a few days ago, was pronounced a success. When bandages were removed Mary immediately pointed to hospital attaches, distinguishing between men and women, and when a pin was held before her sh^ was able to plainly distinguish it. Eggs-actly. A farmer's wife shipped a crate of eggs to a wholesale house in a city, but before doing so she wrote on one | of them: t "I got a penny for this egg. What did you pay for it?" * She added her name and address. A year later she received nn an.v ' wer. It was written on the highly embelished stationery of an actor. "My dear madam," he wrote, "while playing the part of Hamlet, recently, I received your egg for nothing." Senator D. A. G.

The old bed of northern Europe, from which our own evolved, pM a 'urge wooden it (fair entirely Inclosed lo panels. It had a roof and waa like a small room within a room. When Hie occupanta, aeveral In number, crawled luto It and closed the sliding ; panels, they were completely protect* <1 from the night air. The panels ,lHter were replaced with curtains, but the back panels and the top were kept. These were carved beds of Queen Elizabeth's time. Then In 1700 the back , and the roof went, leaving the four posts whl^l support ed a wooden cornice from which cur fains hung. These beds were still ponderous, and were wide enough so that the children as w^ll as the parents could share the warmth of the curtains and billowy feather bedding. The Aro place and the bed were the only warm spots In the house, and the best sprinter got the best place. By J780, the wooden cornice was replaced by a valance. It wus at this time that the fourposter reached Its finest expression. The draperies, no longer a necessity, were hung to enhance the beauty of the bed. By 1800 the draiierles were gone. Then the four posts, were cut down shorter and shorter until at last they disappeared and the headboards and footboards crime bncli.?Kansas City Star. "Sleep and Grow Thin*' It New Prescription One of the quickest wuys of getting thin Is to go without sleep two nights In succession. This method Is not popular, and most people would rather fast for two weeks. Enforced sleepleBsnesB, however, causes flesh to disappear more thnn twice as rnpldly|as rigid starvation, even though the nonsleeper Is on full diet. A doctor who was treating a man for obesity by the usual diet and exercise method was recently surprised by an amazing discovery. The course of the treatment was unavoidably held up by the patient breaking his leg, and It wns feared that the enforced rest would seriously retard the loss of weight, even though the strict diet was kept up. When, at last, the man, who had had little sleep, wns able to get to the scales again, It was found that the rate at which he had lost weight was almost exactly double the rate at which he had lost It while taking active exercise. Hans Andersen Hans Christian Andersen, the famous writer of fairy tales for children, was an only child of poor parents. He was born In 180ft, In the beautiful little town of Odense. on the Island of Funen, Denmark, and he Immortalized his native birthplace In the story, 'The Bell-Deep." Son of a shoemaker, he was sent to the poor house school In the town, where his natural abilities and love of study caused him to gain distinction. After years of struggle, he eventually became famous, when he visited many countries of Europe, and as a notable man was much sought after. Andersen came to know Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns, besides many other distinguished writers and poets.' He died at the age of seventy, and was buried In Copenhagen.

ATTEMPT TCKBURN BUILDING In Heart of ItuHiive*N District of Sumter Stopped By Firemen But for the fust and efficient work vf the Sumter Fire Department the Heid building on the cornerpf Meiii end Hampton avenue thit morning would be u muss of ruins. Fire, which was later discovered to he of incendiary origin, was firs.t Been towards the rear of the building shortly before 10:30 o'clock Sunday night. Th8 firemen responded to the alarm in fast time and when they arrived on the scene had spveral hose lines up the stairs in a few minutes. The smoke was dense and suffocating and the fighters found it hard to stay in the building. The fire started between the ceiling and the roof and in order to get at it a ladder was set up under a manhole leading to the attic and several of the firemen ascended. * As soon as they stuck their heads in the attic a strong odor of kerosene was detected. Within a few more minutes the fire hkd been extinguished and* they were able to enter and investigate the kerosene odor. 3 he cause of the odor was not hard to find. Placed at short intervals were five or Bix receptacles of kerpsene. These containers, were connected by rags soaked in the liquid, go that as soon as one became ignited the flames would spread rapidly to the others. Had the fire reached one can of the kerosene the building would probably have been doomed. Damage to the building was confined to the roof and attic and to several rooms blackened by the smoke on the second floor. The lower flqor was not hurt. Although a careful .estimate of the loss has not yet been made, it is not believed that it will run over, three or four thousand dollars, all of which is covered by insurance. The Reid Building, was bought several. months ago by the Brody's, local shoe repair shop and department store owners, at a reported price of $54,000. Extensive repairs have been made since the purchase, and the building was said to be in good shape. Police are working on the case, but so far have been unable to get any clue as to who started the biaze. No one was seen hanging around the entrance to the second floor during the early evening and no motive for the destruction of the building has come to light.?Saturday's Sumter Item. Klan Moves To Washington Washington, March 16.?Except for its regalia factory and printing plant, which will be kept in Atlanta, all of the activities of the Ku Klux Klan hereafter will be conducted from the city of Washington. This announcement was made Tuesday night by Dr. Hiram Wesley Evans, imperial wizard, after the work of moving into the new quarters on Massachusetts avenue began earlier in the day. Dr. Evans said the activities of the klan were growing and that the headquarters had been transferred" here because he believed Washington was a more effective location for the dissemination of klan doctrines.

Barton of this city, engaged with Tucker & Daxton in the erection of the later water tank at the waterworks station just south of the city, brought to The News office Friday an interesting and unique i piece of rock that had 'been dug up , in excavation. The stone is about 8 by 10 by 4 inches, and on the perfect- j ly smooth side has beautifully stamp- , ed foil^ge resembling cedar limbs and other kinds of shrubbery branches. The markings of the branches on the rock are as perfect as if placed there by an artist with a brush. The stone ( was dug up from a depth of about 12 feet underground and was imbedded in the middle of a large rock. Mr. 1 Barton says there is another largo rock at the place where the first one was dug up that has similar beautiful markings. Who knows but what the markings is the work of human hands of the long ago and has a history that would be interesting in the extreme.?Lancaster News.
