UNAFRAID OF GERMS
George Banka, a Bangor, Mich., Pio-
neer, Has Worn the Same Suit of
Clothe* for the Last 32 Years and
HI# Diet Is Simple.
Bangor, Mich.—-Health demonstra-
tion trains run around the state,
health officers lay down their laws,
newspapers cry out—all with the doc-
trine that cleanliness means longevity
—and ancient George Banks goes
right along living, unmindful, In his
dirty old log cabin. Germs and George
have affinities for each other, or else
germs hate George ao badly that they
won't go near him. George himself
neither knows nor cares.
Ae near as has been figured out,
George la one hundred and fifteen
years old. That would ilx his birth In
the year 1788. FYom a little picka-
ninny down on a Kentucky plantation
he grew up Into a strong young slave
About L827 he escaped, and he man
aged to stay escaped until the Civil
war came along and made him free
technically. George helped make him-
self free, as a matter of fact, for he
fought all through the war on the
Union skle, leaving hla present abode
to Join the army.
It waa In 1846 that George came to
this region. He built hlmBelf a little
log house seven miles from Bangor
and there he reared a family. The
family has been burled for a good many
years, except for a granddaughter,
now fifty-two. who takes care of him
to a greater or less extent—for her

matador tantallxlngly waved a red

he held hla sword In place with his

The bull didn't pay attention to the
bandanna at all. He made straight

dodged him. Again the bull disregard

that something was wrong. Either this
bull didn't understand the sport or he
waa foxy. The wlelder of the sword

five or six feet high.
The bull tore after him and caught
the unfortunate bull fighter as he was
making a flying leap. He sent him
ten feet Into the air and the matador

Battle.
PotUtown. Pa —A large buck deer
suddenly appeared among Edwin Oer-
bers cattle, grazing In a field near
this town, and attacked one of the
largest bulls In the herd. A fierce bat
tie emsued. The deer plunged Its
large antlers into the bovine's sides
and head and had an advantage in the
fight becauae its antagonist was de-
horned.
Farm hands heard the commotion
and, armed with pitchforks, hurried
to the scene of conflict. The deer
jumped a five-foot stone fence and die

SILK ORIGINATED IN PERSIA
Considered Fit Only for Womri in Ti-
berius’ Time and Forbidden
to Men.
Wrought silk was brought from
Persia to Greece in 325 B. C. It was
known in Rome at the time of Ti-
berius,, when the senate prohibited
the use of plate of massive gold, and
forbade men to debase themselves bv
wearing silk, tit only for women
Heliogabalus first wore a garment o(
silk in 220 A. T). Silk was at first
of the same value with gold, weight
for weight, and was believed to grow
on trees. Silkworms were brought
from India to Europe in the sixth
century. Charlemagne sent Olfa, kina
of Mercia, a gift of two silk vests
The manufacture was encouraged by
Roger, king of Sicily at Palermo
when the Sicilians not only bred the
silkworms, but spun and wove the
silk. The manufacture spread intc
Italy and Spain, and also into the
south of France a little before flu
reign of Francis I., about 1510; and
Henry propagated mulberry trees
and silkworms throughout the king-
dom about 1000. In England sill,
mantles were worn by some wo met
of the nobility at a ball at Kenil-
worth castle in 1286.
Los Angeles, fnl—The case of little
Anna Samaroff at the children's hos-
pital has baffled not only the nurses,
but physicians who attend that Insti-
tution In the daytime Annie is just
as hale and hearty as can he, but be-
fore she lias been asleep live minutes
she Is clucking like a hen.
Hour after hour Annie, apparently
sleeping peacefully, will bo heard ut-
'erlng Indescribable sdunds. which are
best conveyed as a monotonous “cluck,
cluck, cluck." The night nurse, whose
attention was first drawn to Annie's
peculiarity, reported the matter to
Miss Vannier, superintendent of the
children's hospital, and it was then
brought lo the attention of the house
physicians. For several nights follow-
ing this discovery a careful watch was
maintained over Annie, and every
night the monotonous clucking would
be repeated before the girl had been
asleep five minutes.
She does not say the word cluck,
but actually makes the same sound in
her throat that a hen makes. Her
mother was questioned upon her last
visit to the hospital as to whether she
could give any reason why Annie
might have had this habit “thru.* upon
her. Mrs Saiuuroff, however, could
remember no ciijm instances that
would lead to such a mysterious habit
and stated that she had not observed
the clucking noise until after her
laughter had been returned home
from the county hospital, where she
had been sent to have a broken log
treated.
