Home for Cripples. Address John
Arbuckle, Arbuckle Bros., New York."
This advertisement was inserted In
a Brooklyn newspaper by" John Ar
buckle, the aged millionaire sugar re
finer, who said:
"I am planning to build a much
larger home for cripples than I first
intended. I have invented various
things that cripples who can use
their hands and arms can do quite as
well as men and women who have
the use of all their members. In
summer they can plow and harrow,
drive mowing machines and hay
rakes, cultivate corn and potatoes and
all k'nds of vegetables.
"In winter they will be employed
in large workshops, so that the year
round they will not only be self-supporting,
but can have a bank account.
I expect them to earn from ,8 to .10
a week. The women will pay $3
weekly for board and the men $4. "
"I have invented a sewing machine
with which a cripple who cannot use
his feet can earn from $7 to $8 a
week. This invention will be patent
ed, but any cripple can have free use
of it."
Mr. Arbuckle's Home for Cripples
Is a part of the "Mary and John Ar
buck'e Farm," situated at New Plats,
N. Y.
"You sc my wife had better judg
ment and a bigger heart than I have,
so her name goes first," remarked the
aged millionaire.
The colony consists of seven con
tiguous farms, conta'nlng over 800
acres. The Idea is to give work to
old men and old women who need
employment in the open a!r and nu
tritious food to bring them back to a
condition of health that will enable
them to withstand the wear and tear
of city life.

which constructed the bridge. It was
opene'd by the prince regent in the
presence of the Duke of Wellington
on Waterloo day, 1817. Waterloo

worth every penny of it. Foremost
in enthusiasm was Caneva, who pro

In the world," alone worth the Jour

Asked what most impressed him in

Steeplejack Climbs Forty Feet Above
Roof to Reclaim His Timepiece.
New York. Men have been known
to hang their watches on the chande
lier, after sitting up with a friend,
but J. Hughes a steeplejack who
paints the flagpoles of the city
buildings, went that one better. A
week ago he painted the flagpole of
the Yorkvil'.e court building. A few
days ago he returned there searching
for his watch.
"I looked at it just before I went
up the pole, and I can't recall having
it, since," he told John R. Rooney, the
court janitor They went to the roof
to Investigate.
"I don't see it, but I hear something
ticking," observed Roney, during a
lull In the gale. He was leaning
against the flagpole.
Hughes looked up and soon was
climbing aloft to where the watch
hung from Its silk fob in the hal
yards of the flagstaff, forty feet above
the roof.
"How do you account for that?"
asked Rooney. when the steeplejack
descended.
"The aviators call it ethereal as
phyxia," said Hughes. "Let's get an
antidote."
