GIRL'S QUICK WIT
flow Mias Fhirf nr<> «nvc«l
__ $■'10,000 to
(Billon'll Treasury.
Tlie failure of the Canton (O.) State
bank developed a heroine in the trim
little person of Miss Florence Bid well,
daughter of Citj' Treasurer Bidwell,
s a special dispatch from Canton,
0 ., to lhe Washington Post. Miss Bid
well saved the city of Canton $30,000.
The State bank was a city depository
and had $100,000 on deposit there the
day it suspended. The hank opened its
doors as usual the other morning. But
they were open only twenty minutes.
This was enough for Miss Bidwell.
When she reached the city treasurer’s
oilice, where she had been In charge in
the absence ot her father, who is 111 in
a hospital in Cleveland, Assistant City
hST^Vivere: a a Sp o^r
™
Miss Bidwell Is only eighteen, but
she showed quickness of thought and
mature Judgment enough for a person
twice her age. Quickly putting on her
hat, she slipped over to tlie bank and
asked Coyle how much easl* *he city
eould have. About all the cash In the
hank was a bag containing $30,000 in
gold. The proper check was made out,
Coyle took the gold from the vault and
at the girl’s request helped her with it
back to the cRy treasurer’s office. By
the time Coyle reached the bank again
It had been decided to suspend, and the
doors were closed.
GARDEN ON A REAR PORCH.
Kanaan Ctty ( Kan.) Woman Grow*
Frnlt and Vegetables In Darrels.
The problem of how to have a gar¬
den on the rear porch of a flat has
been solved by Mrs. Frank A. Vaughn
of Kansas City, Kan. Mr3. Vaughn
wanted to plant strawberries and raise
some vegetables, but she had no
ground for the purpose, says the Kan¬
sas City Star. She secured two bar¬
rels, bored 250 holes In them and filled
them with dirt. In the boles she plant¬
ed strawberry vines and other things
usually raised In a garden.
“I know It is rather a novel way to
have a garden,’’ said Mrs. Vaughn re¬
cently as she proudly displayed her
growing strawberries and vegetables,
“but I want to dispel the idea that
people vho live In a flat can have
nothing good to eat except what they
buy from the market. Wo have ber¬
ries and vegetables of our own, and,
while they are in no great abundance,
they are berries and vegetables Just
the same aud so mucli better than
those we buy. If they would only
make the barrels higher we could plant
more in each barrel.”
WOMAN’S WOLF FIGHT.
Attacked by Pack of Thirty, She
Foucht Them OS an Hoar.
Mrs. Marie Pauchos and her two lit¬
tle children wero ou their way recently
from the Ltican ranch to Blauoonia,
Tex., when a pack of wolves came up
liehdid the buggy ami began barking,
says u dispatch from Refugio, Tex.
Tho wolves attacked the horse aud
soon had the animal dowu. Mrs. Pau¬
chos used the butt end of the buggy
whip to defend herself aud the chil¬
dren. 'I he wolves gathered and tried
to leap at the throats of the woman
aud children.
There were about thirty wolves iu the
pack, aud the light soon became au un¬
equal one. In an hour Mrs. ranches
was lu an almost exhausted condition.
Just when she was about to give up
the struggle a government mull carrier
came along aud fired iuto the pack,
scaring them away.
Proposed St. Bornuril Tunnel.
According to llu* Borne correspond¬
ent of the London Standard, the great
Simplon tunnel, although not yet open
to traffic, is already spoken of as an
old story, while another scheme is Joe¬
( shorten the

Journey between central Europe and
the north and west of Italy The new
undertaking consists of a proposed line
from Martlgny, in (he Rhone valley,
under the fa^rnns St. Bernard pass, di¬
rect to Turin, In au almost straight
"lhie. At present the distance from
Lausanne to Turin by the Simplon
routo is about 225 miles and by the
Mont Cents route a mile or so farther.
By the proposed Si. Bernard tuuuel
route the distance will la* reduced
to about 140 miles, « saving of nearly
uiuoty miles, or, in other words, more
thau a third of the present distance.
Ti|» From a Sermon.
On a recent Sunday L>r. Wishlngtou
Gladden of Columbus, O., outlined in
an evening sermon what he would do
with a million dollars if l»e bad it,
says a Columbus dispatch Among
other projects, be said he would put
about $300,000 of it In model tene¬
ment houses for the use of working
people, to be modern iu every way and
to Ire rented at rates that-would net
not more than 4 per cent on the in vest

“A doctor here lias sued me for $12.50
which I claimed was excessive for a case
of cholera morbus, ” says K. White, of
Coachella. Cal. “At the trial he praised
Ids medical skill and medicine. I asked
him if it was not Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy he used,
as I had good reason to believe it was,
and he would not say under oath that it
was not.” So doctor could use a better
remedy than this in a case of cholera
morbus. It never fails. For sale bv all
