“FINDINGS ARE KEEPINGS."
They Arc, Provided You Can't Locate
the Rightful Owner.
There ar.e a good many popular
sayings on mutters legal which if
followed literally may lead to trou
ble. The old saying that “find
ings ure keepings” is one of them.
It is true that under the law the
finder of lost property is entitled to
keep it against all the world except
the rightful owner, but he may get
himself into serious trouble unless
he makes a reasonable effort to lo
cate the real ownei;.
At least that is so in New York,
and probably in some of the other
states where New York’s penal code
is more or less closely followed.
There is a section of that code
which provides that unless he makes
a reasonable effort to restore it to
its owner the finder of lost property
is guilty of lar.ceny.
Just what amounts to “a reason
able effort,” must depend upon the
circumstances of each particular
case. One would not be expected to
go to any considerable expense to
locate the owner of an article of
little value, but on the other hand
if the property found were worth
several thousand dollars, the finder
might reasonably be expected to ex
pend his own money, if necessary,
to locate the loser.. If he didn’t, he
would, be guilty of larceny under
the statute.
There is no duty upon the part
of the finder to advertise for the
owner unless that method seems to
be the most likely one to locate
him.
If you find a gold watch on a
street car it is your duty to turn it
over to the conductor or to the lost
property department of the rail
way company, not because the com
pany has a better title to it than
you, but because that is the most
likely method of locating the own
er. If the pr.operty is not reclaimed
within a reasonable time you may
insist upon having it returned to
you. For this reason, when you
turn over lost property in this way
either obtain a receipt for it ad
mitting your claim to it as a finder,
or, if you cannot obtain such a re
ceipt, deliver with the article a
letter asserting your claim, keeping
a copy of the letter.
Again, if you find a pocketbook
in a store and there is no clew to
its owner it is your duty to inform
the shopkeeper of your find, but
there is no reason why you should
turn it over to him unless by so
doing the owner may he more easily
found.
Articles found in the public high
way may be turned over to the near
est police station, hut in most cases
it would suffice simply to notify the
police authorities of your find.—
New York American.
A Trying Job.
“The doctor has ordered my wife
to go to a rest cure.”
“Why should she need rest? You
have no children; you have servants j
to do all the work around the ,
house; your wife has an electric, so j
that it never is necessary for her to j
walk anywhere. 1 suppose she never
finds it necessary to do any sewing
or darning or anything like that,
and I have no doubt that she even
hires other people to polish her
uails and arrange her hair. How
can a lady so fortunately situated
possibly be in need of rest?”
“She’s got all tired out trying to
think of new ways in which to make
me more worthy of her.”—Chicago
Recor,d-Hernld.
Record Hailstones.
It would be difficult to determine
whnt the hailstone record is. There
are numerous pretty well authenti
cated cases of hailstones weighing
half a pound and riiore, but claims
far beyond that are made. Stones
of six or eight pounds were said to
have fallen at Namur in 1719. The
missionary Father Hue records the
fall in Tartary in 1843 of a block of
ice as big as a milestone which took
three days to melt. In May, 1802,
a Hungarian village reported a
1,100 pound block, requiring eight
men to move it. And in Tippoo’s
time one as big as an elephant was
said to have fallen near Seringa
pa tarn.

“ CURIOUS HERM ISLAND.
A Romantic Feudal Spot Cloaa to tho
Engliah Coast.
A real feudal island, where the
inhabitants are ruled by rigid regu
lation* reminiscent of the middle
ages and where even visitors have
to conform to Spartan laws—such
is the island of Herm, about four
miles from Guernsey.
Herm is only about eight miles
in circumference, but kangaroos
run wild within its confines, and
the inhabitants are not allowed to
have either guns oi; dogs.
It is difficult to believe that
Herm is a real island only a few
miles from the English coast and
not a dream island in the south seas
invented by some fanciful novelist.
It is leasdd from the British gov
ernment by Prince Blucher, a de
scendant of the famous Waterloo
Blucher. His residence stands on
the summit of the island and can
be seen from the sea for miles
around.
There is only one landing place,
and then one can only get ashore
under certain tides. No one is per
mitted to land without paying a
fee, and people have to give a rea
son for their visit.
Visitors are only permitted at
Herm during the summer season
from June to September.
The law in this romantic feudal
island is enforced by the chief boat
man, who holds the office of con
stable. As an emblem of office he
carries a miniature ebony silver
mounted baton. People arrested are
taken to a curious little stone pris
on near the landing place, shaped
like a beehive. Herm has forty in
habitants, all dependents of the
prince.
The most fascinating feature of
the island is the herd of kangaroos,
with a few rock wallabies, which
leap about the place as if in the
heart of Australia.
A former inhabitant of Ilerm
put two kangaroos on the island.
The present herd, several hundred
in all, are their descendants.—Lon
don Cor. New York Sun.
Pitcher’* Tragedy.
Connie Mack, who takes great
pride in developing young pitchers
and then prophesying how they
will show up in action, sent in one
of his finds in an exhibition game
not long ago: The slaughter of the
young slab artist was pitiful to be
hold. At the end of the second in
ning Connie was somewhat peeved.
“What’s the matter with you,
son?” he asked the youngster as
kindly as he could, which was not
remarkably kindly.
“I—1 don’t seem to he able to get
the ball over the plate,” said tiie
pitcher sadly.
“You’re mighty right you can’t
get it over the plate,” observed
Mack, his peeved condition much
aggravated. “And I’ll tell you why.
Every time you start it over they
knock it hack at you.”—Popular
Magazine.
Vegetarians.
In his hook, "The Natural Food
of Man,” 11 ere ward Carrington says
that the natural food of man is
neither meat nor vegetables, but
fruit and nuts, and remarks: “One
of the chief causes of failure on the
part of those who leave off meat
and attempt to take up vegetarian
ism is that they do not rightly bal
ance their diet and do not supply
to the system the proper amount
of protcid food to take the place of
that which the meat supplied. Vege
tarians. as a rule, eat far too much
food. Under the impression that
they must eat more in order to'off
set the supposed greater nutritive
value of meat, they eat far more
than they should.”
Word Derivations.
“Disaster” is an astrological term
meaning “unfavorable star,” one of
the many words that astrology 'has
bequeathed to' the English lan
guage. “Predominant,” “ill star
red,” “in the ascendant,” are other
instances, not to speak of the ex
pression “My stars!” Even “influ
ence” is really astrological, signify
ing the flowing in upon human af
fairs of the power of some heavenly
body. “Petrel” and “petrol” both
descend from “petra,” a rock. “Pe
trol” comes directly enough through
“petroleum.” rock oil, but “petrel”
through St. Peter, after whom the
bird was named because it appeared
to walk upon the waves.
With Thanks.
John Budd was a most sedate,
precise and altogether exemplary
young man. When he wooed and
won Susan Smiley, the belle of the
village, everybody rejoiced at John’s
good fortune. However, he bore
his triumph with modesty and de
corum until the day of the wedding.
Then for one awful moment his air
of aplomb failed, him. When the
officiating clergyman asked. “Will
you, John, take this woman to be
thy wedded wife?” John respond
ed blushingly, “Yes, please.”
