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. Ouzts, of Greenwood,
the stormy petrel of the state
senate during the session just closed,
was injured slightly while retuihiing
home from the legislature with his
wife. Their automobile turned over
near Newberry. Mrs. Ouztflj was not
injured.'

Old time Bed* Rigidly
Excluded Freeh Air
A study of (he evolution of the bed
fro in the (line of the Normta conjuest
of England to the present
[hov<ta Interesting.
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

"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.
Bashfulness
Dr. Egbert Moron, the psychoanalyst,
said In a recent lecture: .*
"Bashfulness Is a defect easily
eradicated by psychoanalysts?and
what a wretched $hlng bashfulness Is!
"'How bashful' you are!' ax pretty
girl said to^a young man.
" Te8,' said he. 'I take after father
there.' ,
" Was your father^ bashful^.
"*Waa he? Why, mother*-says H
father hadn't been so darn bashful
Td be four years older.'"
Easily Adjusted- ' i .
It was the first play he had ever
written*, ..and at the same tkfte the
worst thing his friend, the producer,
had read for years,
"Sorry, my boy," remarked the producer,
"but I couldn't do this, It's too
Idng for the stage." .? ?
"But, I say," expostulated his
friend, "surely a little thing like that
copld be .flx<$ up. Couldn't you
lengtlien the stage a bit?"
Slave to Fashion
"I met your friend Zuckerfast yes
terday. But yon gave me quite a
wrong Impression of him. The fellow
It so shabby that one Is <fuite sorrj

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.

Unique Rock Discovered
W. T. 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.
