Disappointed Suitor Tries Kidnapping,
e^
Allentown, Pa., Jan. 11.?What fe w
declared by the police and the par- ri
ents of the girl involved to have
been a sensational attempt at kid*
napping ended when a taxicab in sl
which the young woman was being ^
whirled away by two men late to-day
crashed into the Soldiers' monument b'

rest of the alleged abductors'
The girl is Miss Anna E. Steckel,
23 years old, daughter of one of Allentown's
most prominent citizens, ^
and a prospective heiress of a quarter ^
of a million dollars. The men who
are charged with the alleged, abduc- L(
tion are Samuel Sinclair, a State H
v highway supervisor, and his friend, re
R. Walter ^tarr, a University stu;
dent. The two men were committed w
? ? m
to jail to-night in default or $3,000 OT
cil
baiL St
According to the story told bv^Miss
Steckel, she had rejected the attenp
. So
tion of Sinclair on numerous occa^
sions, but that he persisted in trying ^
to call on her. To-day ?^e was re- b(
turning from a shopping ibur and
noticed a taxicab standing near the tv
front of her home, which is in Al- c
lentown's fashionable residence sec- j
tion. As she was about to enter her ^
as
home, Miss Steckel said she was seizS
ed by two men who she recognized as ^
Sinclair and Starr, and was forced
into the cab despite her struggles and
cries.
ec
The driver of the taxicab in taking
up the story at this point said he had
been engaged at noon to-day by the
two men "for a wedding." When the
S6
girl was forcibly thrust into the cab
> ot
he said he suspected something was ^
wrong and when given the order to
drive "fast into the country," he ^
determined to take the party to the
police station. When approaching
* S
V Center square he was unable to turn
his marhinp auickly enough and ^
crashed into the monument, a policeman
heard the cries of the girl and ^
took1 the entire party to the police
station. After the girl told her story k
* 6he was taken home by her parents
(who. had been summoned.
At the police station to-night Sinclair
said the girl loved him and that
they were to have been married in ^
spite of the father's objections, but
tc
* that she went back on him.
New Crack Found insjjiberty Bell. ^
tt
It was hinted yesterday by a city
official that the Liberty Bell probably ^
never again will be taken from this
city, owing to the alarming condition
>* j of the relic, says the Philadelphia
L"* Ledger.
r 6 m
Several examinations of the bell
have been made during the last week
or 10 days, and all of these, it is said,'
have shown that the bell's condition
has not been at all exaggerated, but, tr
rather, that its dangerous state real- r<
* ly has not been fully appreciated. m
* The crack, it was said yesterday,
now extends from the end of the original
crack to a point in the shoulder
* ' of the bell at a point between the let- u
t^TH! tt arid a in the word "through
out," in the inscription which has
given the bell its name: * "Proclaim
liberty throughout the land, and to <.
all the inhabitants thereof." The
new crack can be readily seen when e,
the attention is called to it, for it
has not.yet been opened up. But it
'*' is none the less evident. b<
Not only is it improbable that the di
city authorities will permit the bell p<
to be removed from the city, but it si
was said yesterday that the bell is so S<
badly damaged that prompt steps m
must be taken to insure its exist- ct
ence, even while it rests in its case n<
at Independence Hall. Several at- di

proper protection of the relic, and hi
these, it is pointed out must be fa
fashioned like a cushion, for the bell ei
no longer is safe while it sustains its al
own weight, and some form of base
must be devised to distribute the n<
strain and weight. ti

"DAD, HERE'S TO YOU."
rummer Offers Good Toast to Much
Neglected Dad.
Here is what he said:
"We happened in a home the other
ight, and over the parlor door saw
le legend worked in letters of red,
Vhat is home without a mother?'
cross the room was another brief,
lod bless our home.'
"Now what's the matter with 'God
less our dad?" He gets up early,
ghts the fire, boils an egg, and wipes
If the dew of the lawn with his
Dots while many a mother is sleepig.
He makes the weekly hand-out
>r the butcher, the grocer, the milkan,
the baker, and his little pile is
idly worn before he has been home
.1 hour.
"If there is a noise during the
ight, dad is kicked in the back and
Des down-stairs to find the burglar
id kill him. .Mother darns the
>cks, but dad bought the socks in
le first place, and the needles and
le yarn afterward. [Mother does up
le fruit; well, dad bought it all, and
Li's and sugar cost like the mischief.
"Dad buys chickens for the Sunday
inner, carves them himself and
raws the neck from the ruins after

Still Het Up.
Apropos of the recent resolution of
le Bible Students' Convention in
'ashington repudiating the doctrine
I a literal "hell fire," relates the St.
auis Globe-Democrat, Dr. Philip
ale Curtin, of Wheeling, said to a
sporter:
"Hell fire is rarely mentioned any
ore except in jest?except, for ex
nple, as in the body-snatching
ory.
"A doctor, according to this story,
w late one night, a fine automobile
ilted outside a cemetery.' He hid
ihind a tree, for he suspected that
)dy spatchers were at work, and
ire enough, in a few minutes he saw
i'0 body snatchers stagger from the
?metery carrying a body. They
aced it upright in the automobile,
> though it were alive, propping it
,'curely in the back seat, and then
tey hurried back to the cemtery to
1. the violated grave again.
"The doctor in their absence lift1
the body out of the automobile,
d it under a hedge, and took its
ace himself.
"Soon the scoundrels returned. One
:ated himself at the wheel, and the
;her seated himself in the back seat,
iside the body, so as to support it.
hen, in the darkness, they glided
f.
"After a while the man in the rear
;at said in a rather awed tone:
" 'This body seems mighty warm
ir a corpse.'
"The chauffeur reached back his
ind and touched it.
" 'Don't it, though!' he muttered,
jtween perplexity and fear.
"Then the corpse, in deep, sepIchral
tones, exclaimed:
" 'Warm, of course I'm warm; and
you had been where I've been for
ie last two days, you'd be warm,
>o!'
"With loud yells of horror the
)dy snatchers leaped from the autoobile
and fled. The doctor seized
ie wheel and drove it home. He
is the car, they say, still."

Peculiar Taste.
An Associated Charity Worker,
iaking a visit to a poor mountain
oman in a Southern town, observed
lat her three small children wore
)ectacles.
"It's a pity that they all have
ouble with their eyes, isn't it?" she
?marked, sympathetically, to the
[Other. ,
"There isn't anything the matter
ith their eyes, 'm."
"Then why on earth do you disfigre
them with glasses?" asked the
isitor in wonderment.
\
The woman bridled. "Why, I
links they look lovely,-' sne said.
I likes them on little children. I
links they're real dressy."?Harpr's

Joseph Barrett, an eleven-year-old

a hog at a cost of 3.06 cents per

farmers and farmers in other
Duthern States, claim there is no
oney in hogs at seven and eight

at too old to learn, and no prejuce
against information about farnj;g
obtained from others prevented
im frnni taking advantage of the
Lets which had been learned by oth s
about the feeding of hogs. It is

THE SLEEPER OF OKUO.
Swedish Woman Spent Thirty-Two
Years in a Trance.
There have been several cases of
long sleeping quite apart from the
celebrated persons of Ephesus and
Rip Van Winkle. One of the most
remarkable was the long sleep of a
government German official named
Arnheim, who had an accident in
which his head was injured in 1904,
and, falling asleep, was still unconscious
four years afterward, and may
be sleeping still.
But the most interesting example
was that of a woman named Caroline
Olsson, living in the little Island of
Okuo, off the coast of Sweden, who
fell asleep in 1875 and did not awake
until 1907. Dr. Froderstrom, of the
Saltpetriere Asylum, in Paris, has
made a detailed examination of her
experience and now publishes the
result of his inquiries in the asylum
journal.
It seems that "the sleeper of
Okuo," was born in 1861. The first
fourteen years of her life were passed
in perfect health, although extraneous
difficulties prevented her
from attending school. It was not
until just before her 14th birthday
anniversary that she received any
schooling. At the following Christmas
she fell ill.
On the all-eventful day she came
home fi;om the school, which was
three miles off, and complained .of
toothache and indisposition, and was
put to bed. A very few hours later
she fell into a trance, uttered no
word, seemed to hear nothing and
showed no trace of feeling anything
when needles and such like things
were run into her arms. For thirty
C
years and more, according to her
mother's evidence, Caroline remained
in this condition, without a sign
of change. Only once, in reply to
the despairing cry of her mother for
a prayer, did she move her lips and
< "??? " T />nn r- Vt nTTA TV* ATATT A n mat"
i>cty, J e? us, ua?c mciV/.i uu ui%<
Some three or four times did the
invalid leave for a moment her bed,
on which all the rest of the time she
lay in a crouching posture with the
bed clothes drawn up over her head.
It is saifl that her whole nourishment
consisted of two cups of milk a day.
When her mother died Caroline must
have been conscious to some extent
of the fact, for she burst into tears,
thbugh otherwise no change was noticeable
in her condition. After
the mother's death -a brother undertook
the charge of the sleeping girl
and her food, but after two years he
was drowned, and this sad event occasioned
a second fit of violent weeping.
The care of her then devolved upon
a housekeeper, and Caroline seems
to have shown more intelligence and
sharpness in noticing ?er presence.
It began to be noticed that her hair
was always kept tidy and that her
nails did not exceed the usual length.
As the result of an experiment in
leaving her alone for some hours of
the day a suspicion arose that her
trance could not have been so complete
and unbroken as formerly. At
last there was no doubt about it.
Food disappeared mysteriously.
A few months later Caroline suddenly
asked for her mother, and
when her brothers hurried to her
side she waved them away, saying:
"You aren't my brothers; they were
quite small." From that moment she
was a different being. The trance
had ceased and left her quite well
and hearty. The most careful examination
failed to reveal to the doctor
the slightest trace of weakness or of
mental defect. She remembered
every detail of her early life, but
showed a great reluctance to speak
about her illness.?The Hamburger
Nachuchton.
Oldest Woman Dead.
"Aunt" Kushiah Shelton, a negress,
aged 120 years, said to have
been the oldest person in the upper
1 part of the State, died at her home
near Cross Keys, in Union county,
several days ago. She was the mother
of 19 cnidren, all of whom grew
u^ to manhood and womanhood. Her
vounerest son, George Shelton, aged
53 years, works at the coal chutex at
Spartanburg Junction.
"Aunt" Kushaih was always a
strong and rugged woman. Although
uneducated and illiterate she recognized
the results to accrue from right
living and eating plain wholesome
food and it is said of her that she
never took a dose of medicine in her
life. She was a domestic and during
the days of slavery she was owned
. by Daniel Shelton.?Spartanburg

The new Maryland child labor law
went into effect lately and the result
was an addition of 300 pupils to the
already crowded Baltimore schools.
Provision was made for ilia in tne
day schools an4 the rest will be allowed
to work if they attend night
schools. The minimum age for child
labor has been raised by the new law
from 12 to 14 years. The charity organizations
are preparing to aid
those parents who depend upon the
wages of the children.
