WOMAN, 101, TRAVELS
Aunt Mary Is Not a Real Hobo,
for She Works
Mrs. Everett of Maine Has Wander
lust as Certainly as Any Weary
Willie—Aids Farmers in
Their Work.
• .
Fort Fairfield, .Mfe, —Recently Mrs.
Mary-Everett celebrated ber one hun
dred and first birthday. It Is rather
difficult to say where “Aunt Mary"
will be in a few days, for she has the
wanderlust and may be ’way up in
Madawaska or down at Mattawam
keag.
Mrs. Everett is one of the oddest
characters in New England. She was
born in St. John, N. 8., in 1812, ac
i cording to the parish register. Her
people were well-to-do and she went
to school until she was about eigh
teen. /Then, she says, there were reli
gious differences in her family and she
left home and never went back.
Eventually she came to Aroostook
' county and was married to George
Everett, a farmer. He died many
years ago. Their one daughter is still
living.
For fifty years Mary Everett has
earned her own living, and she does
today. Sprightly and vigorous as the
average woman of sixty, she travels
continually, staying but two or three
days in a place. Everybody knows
her, and almost anybody in the coun
try towns of the county is glad to give
her shelter. “She is as good as a
show,” they say. She has a vast fund
of funny stories and anecdotes, and
no end of quips and epigrams, while
she can relate many incidents of the
early days of the county with his
torical accuracy, and knows the gen
ealogy and the scandals of scores of
families back to the second and third
generation.
In the summer she earns money by
picking up and sorting and selling
apples, the average Aroostock farmer
being too busy with his vast potato
plantation to bother with them. In the
winter she gathers scraps of silk and

New Ulm, Minn. —The Current

stows them in a capacious bag and
makes (hem into quilts, which she
sells. She is skilled with the needle,
which she threads without glasses.
But it matters not how cordial her
welcome and how comfortable her
quarters, she • remains in one place
only a day or two and then takes to
the road with the persistency of the
professional hobo. She trudges along
the road until a farmer’s team comes
along and gives her a lift. Os late
years it is raid she declines to ride
anything but an automobile. She rides
as far as the vehicle goes, no matter
where.

Lost Bible Verses Found
Manuscripts Belonging to New Testa
ment Discovered in Egypt Have
Additions to St. Mark.
London, England.—Some long miss
ing verses of the new testament are
included in the manuscripts of the
gospels discovered in Egypt six years
ago and purchased by Charles L.
Freer of Detroit, Mich., according to
a study made of the Freer manu
scripts by the Times. A facsimile of
the manuscripts has been presented to
the British museum by the University
of Michigan, to which Mr. Freer as
signed the task of publication, and, ac
cording to the Times study, there
have been found In the gospel of St
Mark several verses which occur in
no other known manuscript of the
new testament, although they were
known to St. Jerome, who quotes part
of them.

DOG IS JUDGE IN LAWSUIT
Snarls at One Claimant and Bounds
Into Other’s Lap in New York
Court.
New York. —Shep, a collie, was the
most important witness in the Morri
sania court before Magistrate Marsh
in a suit between Mrs. Anna Morris
sey and Mrs. Freda Maurer.
Shep identified himself as the prop
erty of Mrs. Morrissey to the satisfac
tion of the magistrate, who ordered
him turned over to her.
Mrs. Maurer, who has had possess
sion of Shep for seven months, was
brought into court on a summons is
sued on the request of Mrs. Morrissey.
The animal had been stolen, the com
plainant alleged.
Mrs. Maurer said she got the dog
from some boys and had named him
Prince. The magistrate directed that
the two women sit at opposite ends
of a table in the court room and that
each call the dog by the name she had
given him.
“Here, Prince!” shouted Mrs. Mau
rer.
“Come on, Shep!” called out Mrs.
Morrissey.
The dog appeared confused for a
moment. Then he snarled at Mrs.
Maurer and leaped across the table
into Mrs. Morrissey’s lap.
Thereupon Magistrate Marsh or
dered the collie turned over to Mrs.
Morrissey.
SHAVED HIS BRIDE’S HEAD
To Keep Other Men Away a California
Greek Disfigured His Pretty
Wife.
Los Angeles.—The African tribe,
whose men cut off their wives’ noses
to prevent marital infelicity, has noth
ing on Angel Bours, a -wealthy Greek
of Venice, Cal., according to the story
of his 17-year-old bride, Matilda. She
averred that Angel shaved her head
to prevent her beauty drawing nods
and smiles from other men.
Mrs. Bours, her head as bare and
glistening as if it had never known
hirsute covering, then produced the
shorn tresses from her handbag.
A warrant was issued for Angel.

“And they excused themselves, say
ing that this age of lawlessness and
unbelief is under Satan, who, through
the agency of unclean spirits, suffers
not the true power of God to be ap
prehended.
"For the cause, said they unto
Christ, reveal now at once thy right
eousness.
“And Christ said unto them, the lim
it of the years of the powers of Satan
is (not) fulfilled, but it draweth near

rupt).
“For the sake of those that have
sinned was I given up unto death,
that they may return unto the truth
and sin no more, but may inherit the
spiritual and incorruptible glory of
righteousness in heaven.”
A large number of variations in oth

also pointed out by the Times in the
