A family named Lobdell lived in Delaware county, New York. They dwelt In a cabin in the woods, where Lucy Ann was born. From the time the girl was old enough to walk she was a great favorite among the hardy woodchoppers and raftsmen. They often took her to the logging camp, where she remained for days at a time, and early became Inured to the hardships and privations of their life. The lumbermen were all good hunters, and before Lucy was eight years old they had taught her the use of the rifle.

Tramp Delaware counties, New York, and Wayne and Pike counties, Pennsylvania. She had cabins in various places, and would return home not more than once a year, and only appeared in the settlements to sell her game and skins and to procure ammu- nition. Shattered physically and mentally, she appeared at Basket Station and resumed woman's clothing. She said that in the eight years of her experience as a hunter she killed 190 deer, 11 bears, numerous wildcats and foxes, besides trapping hundreds of mink and other animals. She had Contests vlth both wounded deer and' bears, as ugly seams and scars upon her body amply tee tided. For two or three years after her return the woman led a mendicant sort of life through the valley, and finally entered the poorhouse at Delhi. In the spring of 1865 a young woman was put off a passenger train at Basket Station, as she could not pay her fare any farther. She gave her name as Mrs. Wilson, and said she had been deserted by her husband at Jersey City. She was in feeble health and was taken to the poorhouse at Delhi. There she met Mrs. Slater, and an attachment sprang up between the two. The two women left the poorhouse the following year. The next summer a party of fishermen discovered two strange persons living in a cave in Barrett township, Monroe county, Pennsylvania. Soon thereafter there appeared in one of the villages a man carrying a rifle and leading a bear. Accompanying him was a woman about 25 years old, who he said was his wife.. For two years these vagrants wandered about the county. At last they were arrested and lodged in jail, where the discovery was made that the supposed man was a woman. They were Mrs. Slater and Mrs. Wilson. The authorities sent them to the almshouse whence they came, but the two women did not stay there long. The next winter found them living in a cabin ten miles from Honesdale. They wandered into the town one day, were arrested and again sent to the alms- 1 house. where they both died recently. g hand-to-han- d half-grow- n CAR. Nearly Loses His Lift After Doors Are Fastened. Sioux Falls, S. D. A tramp who crawled Into an empty refrigerator car In the Sioux Falls yards of the Rock Island Railroad company had an experience which he will not care to repeat, and which nearly resulted In his death. After the ,tramp had crawled Into the car, and while he was asleep, the yardmen had occasion to switch the car on another track. One of the yardmen noticed that one of the doors of the refrigerator car was slightly open, and as a precaution to prevent an accident, the door was closed and fastened, and the supposed empty car was placed upon another track, which chanced to be a siding in a remote part of the yard. More than 24 hours later one of the yardmen was passing In the vicinity of the refrigerator car and heard a a- muffled sound, which resembled voice. While looking about in differ ent directions with the object of discovering from whence the mysterious sound proceeded, his attention was attracted by a moving stick, which protruded from the side of one of the doors of the refrigerator car. The yardman went to the door and opeded it, and found the tramp In an almost lifeless condition. It took some time for him to recover sufficiently to relate what had befallen him.

TO FIND SOUL MATE. SCIENTIST HAS FORMULA TO SURE HAPPY MARRIAGES. IN- Unhappy Weddings Due to Ignorance Concerning Scientific Requirements Certain Percentage of Each Sex In the Other. New York. "Before marrying you should find your soul counterpart." 8o says R. C. Auld, F. Z. S a unromantlc Englishman, himself happily married, of 233 West One Hundred and Fortieth street, who Is soon to publish a book entitled The Soul of Society," in which he explains soul affinity. One chapter in Mr. Aulds book is entitled How to Determine Your Soul Mate." In explaining his meaning Mr. Auld in an interview said: Every man has within himself a certain of percentage femininity. Every woman has a certain percentage of the masculine. Now, it is not difficult to determine your soul mate after you find the way. It is the endeavor that men and women make to even up their percentages that creates the tangle of affinities. Science has solved the problem of unhappy marriages, not I. In other words, unhappy marriages are the result of ignorance concerning their scientific requirements. Male and female character may get so mixed up in one individual that the love germ is inconceivably lost in such a person, but soul love is the greatest thing in the world. It has controlled nature and It must ever do so." It the proportion of the masculine and the feminine temperament In a man finds the correct mingling of these proportions In the woman, then has he found his counterpart soul," writes Mr. Auld. On the other hand. If a man made the mistake and the proportions of gray-haire- masculine and feminine percentages in the man and the woman were not balanced, then must come unhappy marriages. In order that everybody may recognize his, soul mate when be sees her, the author has prepared in his volume a schedule which looks like the identification blanks on a passport The student of scientific love who desires a soul affinity and to avoid divorce proceedings and alimony, must study the schedule and check off his parts. The table is called a Schedule of Erogenic Values. The percentage of one sex in the other, further explains the author in his volume, is the real dynamic soul love that creates mutual attraction. Erogenic values are founded upon the theory of Weinlnger. Your definite Inheritance of masculinity and also of feminlnety must be computed to establish a unit Let us say, for example, that a man s Is masculine and feminine, then the proper soul counterpart of such a man Is a woman who Is masculine s and feminine." "Soul Is the sex and one sex attracts the other In proportion as each soul is matched, said Mr. Auld. It Is what the chemist calls chemical affinity. This is wbat we call love, the affinity of like for like." Mr. Auld prints another schedule which the man in search of a wife or the woman in search of a husband must carefully check off so that a proper choice may be made. Some of the Items are character, fondness for Jewelry, good clothes, or accomplishments. Always mark those qualities that you yourself lack Is the formula propounded.

Some there are who think fi humiliating and extoo suggestive of the class who tend their hands for alms, but auch was not the case with Mr. Myatt He has given up his situation with the retired Saratoga Hotel company and with a fortune variously estimated at from 150,000 to $100,000. in Myatt Is on a hunting expedition several has He northern Michigan. farms in that vicinity, and when he is not trailing the deer he is overseeing a number of farm Improvements, The story of Myatt and the pile" he has made out of tips is not unlike popular fiction, with that of latter-dathe difference that the hero of the present tale has bank books, flats, farms and other commercial proof that he is not the flimsy character of a book. For the past 15 years all of Myatts associates have thought him to be a poor waiter who was down on his luck most of the time. It was only recently Manager O. B. Stimpaon, of the Saratoga restaurant, discovered that the supposedly poor waiter was a real estate holder of no little importance. The first I knew of Myatt's having was when money, said Stimpson, men estate real began to prominent drop into the restaurant to inquire for him. One day a man pointed to him and said: "See that fellow? Looks like a common, garden variety of waiter, dont he. Well, hes not worth more than 150,000 at the present time, although his prospectsar'e good. I sold him a flat on the South side the other day for $25,000. When I spoke to Myatt about it he laughingly said that it was a joke. The matter got whispered around among the other waiters, and finally Myatt came to me and said he thought he would quit, as he had other business that required most of his time. I don't know how much hes worth, but I guess hes got enough to live on comfortably. Although Myatt has made a big success and money, all through his knowledge of the art of securing tips, be is exceedingly modest. Of course.

Therefore, when he came to my table again and expected shabby treatment because he did not come through the first time, and was treated Just as well If not better than he ever was before, there was nothing to it at all. That man usually gave up more than double the usual tip and was forever a valuable friend and patron. Then, again, I learned the habits of all the men who came to my table. I knew exactly which man took two lumps of sugar in his coffee and which man liked a double portion of cream. Little things like that make friends for the waiter and absolutely insures large numbers of tips. A waiter to be successful must be pleasant He must smile whether he feels like it or not Treat every man like he was your friend and he will hand you a tip every time." Myatt formerly lived at No. 34 Rush street, where he had a suite of rooms. Then he and his family moved to the South side.
