Talk about women not being as smart as men, what do you think of T this? 8* Mrs. Helen Dexter, of Waukegan, Illinois, is reported in the daily press as having beat the United States government out of $100.00 per month in this unique manner. She married twelve men from different parts of the country, men who had served ir. the army and collected their allotments. After each marriage she found another ex-soldier until she had twelev marriages to her credit or discredit and not a single divorce. All this in three years when Uncle Sam stepped in and arrested her an^J put on her the only checks she will get. 11 ?? i GOLD GALORE Much gold is coming into the United States from foreign couatries. One New York bank recently received seven tons of gold, worth $18,000,000. The only trouble about that gold was that it was unloaded in Wall L street where the bankers there are! ^supposed to have money. I If a few barrels of it would come to South Carolina we would all think the millenium just about due. y THE LYNCHING RECORD In- 1920 there were 64 lynchings, tided among the states as follows: oriel a, Mississippi, each 7; Califor^ Minnesota, North Carolina, Okk; each 3; Arkansas, Illinois, Kan^^S^^tentucky, Missouri, Ohio, South Vrginia, West Virginia each ^Hl^overng 18 states.

CATS FOLLOW FISH DEALER Animate of 8heepshead Bay Regular ly Take the Trail of the Peddler Like the pled piper, the Sheepshead Bay fleh dealer has a following of cats as he pushes his cart through the residence section on Friday morning, says the New York Sun. The cats for blocks away hear his shrill cry of "Fresh fish!" or perhaps smell his cargo and come slyly through the streets for a chance at a delectable bit of sea food. When the Ashman gets a customer he cleans and scales the Ash on the ground. This Is the chance for the neighborhood cats. Their part of the feast consists of the discarded heads and tails of fluke and sea bass. Obtaining a prised portion, most of the cats break for home to enjoy the repast, while others not so fortunate hang on the peddler's heels and follow him about until he finally makes a sale and penults theiu to profit on his loss.

"Sandy" Forsyth's band of scouts bad been surrounded by Chief RomqQl Nose's Cbeyennes and In the sandy bed of the Arlckaree river In eastern Colorado they were fighting fori the It. lives one September day In lOuT* Thov hnrl tin fnnrl thplr rlrw*? tor had been killed, and relief must come soon if they were to be saved. Forsyth called for volunteers to so to / fort Wallace, Kan., 100 miles away, for aid. 4) Every unwotlhded man at once of* fered himself for the perilous journey, bijt the general selected Fete Trudeau, an old hunter, and Jack Stlllwell, a boy of nineteen. When night came the two scouts started. Taking off their boots, they walked backward down the dry river bed in their stocklng feet to deceive any Indians who might come upon their trail. When morning came they bid In a * dry ravine within sight and sound of an Indian cainp. They had nothing to ent or drink, and the sun beat upon theni fiercely all day long. On the morning Of the fourth day they found themselves on the open pltfTn with ho cover In sight. Suddenly they "came upon the skeleton of a buffalo-surrounded by a rank growth of green grass. Into this scanty refuge Trudeau and Stlllwelli hastily crept. They were not a minute too soon. A large party of Indians appeared and halted within a', hundred yards of their hiding placet. The scouts were hugging the ground when' Trudeau henrd a hiss In the grass In front of him, and a second later a big ruttlesuake crawled sluggishly out and colled wlthiu a foot .of the scout's head. | Stillwell was chewing tobacco, and Just before the snake sounded his deadly rattle, the young scout lenned forward and shot the spray of tobacco Juice squarely into the open Jaws and eyes of the reptile. The rattler could not stand such a doso. He crawled hastily away. The Indians anon pasRed on without discovering the acouta. Still well's lucky shot had saved their lives. Forty-eight hours later the two men reached Fort Wallace. Trudeau was " completely broken by his terrible cxrVbrlence and he died a few days later,, but when the relief expedition left; Fort Wallace the undaunted Still well! rode at Ite.' head. He lived to become* a Jn.""z? .n Texas and a leading figure i In that state until his death n few/ years ago. "VAMPS" WHO | MADE HISTORY S j ; By JAMES C. YOUNG. S i (? by McCtura Ncwapup?r Syndicate.) A BEAUTY OF OLD NEW YORK.. EVERYONE who knows New Yorllhas seen the famous Jumel mansion which crowns the highest point; on Manhattan Island, overlooking the* Harlem river. The woman who ruledl there In better days was one of the* most fascinating personalities of American history. She was born on a ship in 1701) anrt lost her mother at birth. When the vessel reached Providence n kindly woman adopted the child and gfive her the homely name of Eliza Bowen, better known as Betty. She goon gave promise of unusual beauty and a nimble wit. At seveuteen she was brought to New York by a former British officer, and soon became celebrated In that half world Just below society. Many famous men knew and loved her, among others Aaron Burr, vice president of the .United States, and Alexan*. dor Hamilton, first secretary of the. treasury. Bad feeling had existed be-, tween the men. This was accentuatedby their ddule courtship, and Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel, killing; his man on Weehawken heights July11, 18<>4. That saiug year Betty married! Stephen Jumel, a wealthy Frenoti win* merchant, and bought the mansion* which was to be made famous by her name. But society looked askance aC , her and she went to Paris. Na|>oleon was then at the height of his power.

But In ten days they quarreled and he left her. A reconciliation ensued, then another quarrel, and Burr died alone on Staten Island not long afterward. But Mine.
