Thesare all Borland's 2ST LEGEND OF NATURAL BRIDGE Saved the MotMQMM and Was TlMiiceforth Called by Them the Bridge of God. At a height of 215 feet above Clear reek in Virginia standa the famous natural bridge known all over the world.

Built of solid rock forty feet thick. It spans the creek. It la a great natural wonder. Our great and beloved national hero, George Washington, once climbed It and carved hie name upon its aide. The Moaegan tribe of Indiana called It the Bridge of God and ascribed to It this supernatural origin.

Once upon a time It happened that the Mohegana were at war with a hostile tribe of Indiana The fight waa hot, and a valiant stand they made against their foe. But at last the Mo-, hegana were forced to give way and to retreat On and on they went, the whole tribe with their women and children, and the enemy behind them. Finally they came to a precipice. Below yawned a cavern, wide and deep, and no way to cross or means to escape was anywhere to be seen. Perilous and helpless indeed waa the plight of the Mohegana.

They were ready to give up and submit to the cruel fate that waa pursuing tbem. Then a wise man of the tribe spoke. "My he said, "go down npon your knees and pray to the Great Spirit above, who alone can save us from our misfortunes." All In a body they obered the words of the old medicine man. Long and hard they prayed. When they finally lifted up their heads, lo, there stood a mighty bridge.

Across It they now led the women and children, and then turned upon their foes, who were cIobo at hand. They gave the enemy a hard battle and finally repulsed and defeated them. In gratefulness to Manltou, the Great Spirit of the world, they named this bridge the Bridge of God.

Adv Comm Pleas Court The February term of common pleas court convened yesterday afternoon, the first case being taken up before Judge If cllvaine. A number of cases act for trial have been continued, settled or otherwise disposed of. The case of Jonas M.

Gee, of North Charleroi, a civil engineer, against the Pittsburgh Railways set for trial yesterday has been settled. The case was formerly heard and the plaintiff was awarded $3,200 damages for per sonal injuries. The Railways company appealed to the supreme court, and the judgment of the lower court was reversed. Later the settlement was agreed upon, and counsel concerned said it was perfectly satisfactory to both sides. Mr.

Gee was run down at Second street, this city, one night, as he was about to take a car. He received very serious injuries, was laid up for many weeks, and still suffers as a result of that accident. The principal witness to the accident was the late A. H. Anderson, of Venetia, to whom Mr.

Gee had just been talking before hi was truck. Mclivaine Williams represented the plaintiff and Irwin Wiley the defendant company. Will Not Pay Warrants County Controller John H. Moffitt aid yesterday he would not sign any warrants calling for payment of the premiums on the fire insurance policies recently awarded on county property by the commissioners. The controller, an advice of his attorneys, takes the grounds that the insurance was illegally awarded, since bids for its placing were net received and the buildings insured with the company or aompanies quoting the lowest premium late, as provided by the state statutes.

No warrants for payment of premiums have yet been submitted to him, but unless the agents with whom the policies were placed expect to pay the premiums themselves, it is certain that such warrants will shortly be given the controller for his signature. Measles Holding Up Court Measles have held up the Juvenile court of the county. Four children, awaiting hearing before the court, are detained at the home in Washington, but the presence of a case of measles there has caused the house to be quarantined, and so no juvenile court can be held until this quarantine is lifted, unless it may be a case where the child has not been at the home. Three of the children will likely be sent, upon hearing, to the Children's home. They could not oe committed to the Children's Home last week, as that institution was under quarantine for measles.

That quarantine was lifted on Saturday. Now the detention home is under quarantine, and there is nothing to do but wait the lifting of the quarantine. Bond Filod. In the suit of L. C.

of Bentleyville, against the Westside Electric Street Railway the defendant company yesterday, through its counsel filed a petition for the approval of a certain bond given to secure damages for right of way over plaintiff's property, in bentleyville.

Forsale by All Dialers. Adv. Ignorance of Law. In speaking of tho epidemic of measles in that town the Charleroi Mail says the following. Ignorance of the law probably had the indirect effect of fostering the epidemic of measles from which Charleroi is just emerging now.

In num- eruus cases the disease was not serious. In fact though it was readily recognized by the parents of the afflicted chil dren it was not serious enough in thesa particular cases to warrant calling a doctor. Thu result was, no quarantine. Consequently people would not be as careful. Visitors with children, would carry away the measies or in some cases the people themselves would spread it.

After a child has had the measles it is necessary to secure a pprmit from tho health authorities before the child can re-enter school. The period cf quarantine calls for 21 days. Where the health officer waa not notified, of course there could be no way of keeping track of his quarautine, and considerable embaiassment was caused. Tne fine for not reporting contagious diseases to the health authorities ranges from $5 to $20 or not less than 30 day jail. a IF YOU ARE A I' You had better stop once or you'll lose your job.

The gas and electrical departments of a corporation in Glasgow, Scotland, are competing keenly in the exhibition of appliances for the reduction of smoke from furnaces and kitchen ranges. The electricity department has a complete electrically fitted restaurant where all the cooking, the kitchen work, the cleaning, the heat-ing and the lighting are effected by electric current.

The gas department has a "gas equipped house," In which all the cooking and heating Is done by gas fires, as well as many of the other operations In connection with housekeeping, and in which all the lighting Is obtained from incandescent gas burners of different types. The corporation is encouraging the reduction of smoke, not only by holding these periodical exhibitions, but also by lending gas cookers free to all the citliens. It has loaned 87,000 of these cookers since March 1. It is also supplying gas fires, and the demand for these has been so great that it cannot be met without considerable delay. Down the Scale.

A certain bride is very much in lore with her husband and very willing to admit it She likes to sound his praises to her mother and to her girl friends. She has a number of original expressions. When her husband Is good she says he Is "chocolate cake, three layers deep." When he Is very good he "chocolate cake, four layers deep," and so on up the scale. Occasionally, however, things take turn. The bride's mother dropped in th other day.

The bride was a trlfl peevish, but her mother pretended not to notice this. "And how Is John today?" was hei inquiry. "Chocolate, four layers deep?" "No." "Three layers deep?" "No." "Two layers deep?" "No." This with a pout "Then what is he?" "Dog biscuit!" National Monthly. Virtue In the "But.

The boxes in which these crackers came were marked O. K. We were always eager to get hold of these 'O.
