SICKLES AIDED BY FORMER WIFE WOMAN PAWNS JEWELS TO PAY DEBTS OF CIVIL WAR HERO RELICS AND RARE BOOKS AT STAKE Ropes of Pearls, Heavy Bands of Gold Set With Diamonds, and Bracelets are Among Gems Pledged NEW YORK,. Sept. 13. The price less collection "of art objects, relics and rare editions belonging to Gen eral Daniel E. Sickles, which recent ly was orderd sold under the sheriff's hammer to satisfy an $8000 judgment was saved today. The judgment was paid at the cost of humiliation and sacraflce on the part of the woman . of noble Spanish birth whom the Gen eral married 41 years ago, but from whom he has been estranged for twenty-seven years. That the husband with whom she could not find happiness might not know the sorrow of parting with his loved books and works of art, this woman took her jewels, tokens, of the days of her youth, when she was a belle at the Spanish court, and pass ed them over the counter of a Sixth Avenue pawnshop this afternoon. She parted with enough gems to draw from the coffers of the lender the money needed to satisfy the judgment against General Sickles' rel ics. Accompanied by her son, Stan ton Mrs. Sickles went to the offices of the Knickerbocker Trust Company soon after noon) and took away, a pasteboard box containing her jewels. The two then proceeded to the pawn shop. There, with trembling hand Mrs. Sickles broke the string that bound the cover to the litle box she laid on the counter. Tears trickled down her cheeks. Her son stood by her side, his head bowed. Mrs. Sickles took the jewels from the box one by one. There were ropes of pearls, heavy bands of gold set with diamonds and bracelets and brooches of antique design.

If "you are superstitious and courting bad luck you will certainly have it today. The following sugges tions are timely; If you own an au tomobile and go motoring today it would be well not to try to run over the Shasta Limited. If you have a case in court do your best to get a postponement. If you have ap pendicitis wait until tomorrow to have your vermiform appendix made nil. If you can't get out of playing billiards take on an easy man like John Cooke or J. E. Hedges. Ignore, by all means, all of Charley Babcock's invitations to play. And for goodness sake, don't find -the book the Colonel lost in Portland, for if you do, you will go to the penitentiary for life. Governor West, of course, will see that there are no hangings.
