An Odd Fellow‘s pocket piece, with an inscription showing that its owner had belonged to Keystone lodge, in Bethlchem, I\’a., was picked up on a battlefield in France and eventually came into the possession of C. L. Fox of Houlton, Me. An article about the little aluminum disc was published in the Houlton Times and a copy was sent to the lodge in Pennsylvania. C. H.

Taking Out the Squirt. . Relief is in sight for the man who, hurrying through his breakfast to get downtown, has had to run for the .car with one eye blinded by a generous stream of very acidy juice which sprang out of his grape fruit as he applied an overamount of pressure. Department of agriculture experts have taken out the squirt, and inciâ€" dentally some of the other qualities of the grape fruit which prevented it from becoming as popular as it might etherwise have been. The new fruit has been produced by crossing the grape fruit with the tangerine orange and it is called the tangelo. It is deâ€" scribed as being not nearly so sharp in taste as the grape fruit and asreâ€" sembling a ripe orange. It requires re sugar and the pulp is so tender that it may be removed with a spoon without having previously cut the segâ€" ments. R To Reorganize Scarlet Riders.

Investigation by the poli¢ce verified the boy‘s statement. They learned that the house had been occupied by Mrs. James Sandham, a recluse ninety years old, who had died a few days before. The boy was the first person to enter the house after the woman had been removed to a hospital, and the money, thought to be rents from her tenants, had lain where she hbhad thrown it on the floor as she reâ€" «ceived it. He was playing in a New York East side street the other day when he fell through a coal hole. There wasn‘t much in the cellar to excite his interâ€" est, so he tried the upper floors of the house, which he found to be deserted. There, he told the police, he found rooms with their floors strewn with money ;. $5 and $10 bills had been wadded and thrown in every corner, and jéwelry littered the dressing tables. A coal chute may be a prosaic subâ€" stitute for Aladdin‘s lamp, but one found by a New York boy delivered the goods as satisfactorily as ever did the old oil burner of "Arabian Nights" fame, observes the Kansas City Star.
