and begged in piteous tones for mercy.
The proprietor of the store, believing
that she was not morally responsible,
assured her that no public exposure
should take place, the property was re-
tanned, and, with profuse thanks, the
victim of kleptomania hurried from the
scene of an exploit that only her high
standing and unimpeachable char
acter rendered a calamity and not a
crime. This circumstance is vouched
for by one wEo witnessed it, but who
would under no circumstances divulge
the identity of the unfortunate woman.
Several other instances are related as
having occurred within few days, most
of them of a trivial character During
the present week a woman, dressed in
the height of fashion, and having every
appearance of responsibility, was detect
ed in secreting a silk neck-tie in her
muff at a store where great sale was
in progress At the same establishment
another female, when questioned, tear
fully confessed to having appropriated
several dollars worth of small articles.
In both instances they were permitted
to return what they had taken, under
the charitable inference that the larceny
was the result of temporary alteration
of mind. The extent of this fearful
and deplorable mania cannot be estimat-
ed Insanity is proverbially clothed
with cunning that defies detection, and
where one case is brought to light it is
reasonable to infer that a score are new
er revealed. Were the whole truth
known, kleptomania would take front
rank among the glaring features of this
age of strange and unaccountable illu-

Dwight's Little Joke.
BY RHYMING ROBERT.

At a soiree, the other night,
! met jolly friend named Dwight,
just launched on matrimony's sea,
And full of pranks as he could be.
''Loeok here" said he, "d'ye want some
Of course you do o-you're just the one;''
And his eyes twinkled as he spoke,
And thus explained his little joke
''My plan is this,'' said he stwhen all
Are leaving, they'll crowd through this
Mixed up together-then the light
Wen have turned down as dark as night.
.Then to complete our little game,
Kiss quick your wife-Tll do the same.n
Indeed! ~ said /. II mean," said he.
"That I'll kiss my wife don't you see p
''Of course they'll both be in a rage
But won't suspect us. I'll engage
Said he, ''to teIl-you needn't doubt it
All that my wife may say about it.
''You do do the same, and when we meet
Again, it will be quite treat
For each of u.s." | said ''AIl right
But didn't see it in just that light.
The whole came off as he had planned,
The lights went out when all were iammed
Together in the narrow hall;
But kissed my wife not at all.
For had seen more years than he

Exactly what my wife would do.

What of your little game last night;
Did you, kiss your wife as you said you'd
"oh, yes, said he, ''and hugged her too'

You've laughed until you're quite laughed

At her indignant tears. But say

VERMONT INDICATED. Having seen
a short sketch in your paper of March 6,
from the Rutland (Vt.) HERALD, headed
sCruelty to Animals in Vermont" Ibeg,
as Vermonter, to take seme exceptions
to said heading. First, there is proba-
bly, no State in the Union whose horses
are treated with less cruelty than Yer
mont next, the places named where the
horses drew such enormous loads was
not in Vermont, and if it had been, |
think it no more cruel to let horse draw
his best than to let him trot his best A
good draught horse has as much ambl-
ton to draw fourteen tons as a good
trotter has for his mile in 215, and hor-
ses that were habitually treated cruelty
would never draw such loads, even on
ice, which was probably the cases refer

THE LATEST SwINDLE.-Mrs. Bella
Thompson, young, beautiful and stylish,
has been stopping at the Newark Hotel,
Newark, for week. She told the pro-
prietor that she was from Georgia, and
was waiting for friends from that State.
On Friday she showed the clerk and
several ladies a set of diamonds, saying
that they cost her $4,000. In the pres
ence of one of the ladies she put them
in her trunk. On Saturday she charged
that her trunk had been broken and the
diamonds stolen She demanded that
the proprietor pay for them. Suspicion
was directed toward guest of the house
and he was about to be arrested when a
letter was received at the hotel, adj
dressed to the woman. The detective
opened it and read, ''Dear Bella, can't
you send me 500; | am d hard up"
The arrest was delayed, and it was found
that the woman had obtained the dia-
monds from Broad street jeweler, ex-
hibited them and sent them back, telling
the ieweler she did not want to buy
them. She acknowledged the swiddle,
and, after paying her bills, quit the
house. e.-Neao YORK. Sun.

SHARP Practice BY New YORK De
TEcTIyEs. Some two months ago, a
firm of New York detectives wrote to
the treasurer Of the Plymouth woollen
mills that they had just discovered q
plot to rob them, and offered their SER
vices in ayerting the threatened danger,
which offer was accepted, and the sharp
detectives made their appearance and
frightened away the thieves, but failed
to make any arrests. They, however,
received their fees and departed. These
same detectives recently informed the
officers of the Wamsutta mill corpora
ton, New Bedford, that an organized
band of New York burglars, in collusion
with the operatives, were to rob the mill
on certain night The gentlemen re-
ferred to Immediately accepted the in
telligence as reliable, and engaged the
services of the detectives to meet the an
ticipated emergency. But as before, the
presence of the officers prevented the
appearance of any persons with burglar
ious intentions, but, on demanding their
pay, the treasurer refused to give them
more than half of what they asked, and
told them that their services were no
longer needed They took the money
without objecting and left for New
York, rejoicing in the success of their
ingenious scheme.

ALL-RAIL Routes TO INDIA.-The Cay
is not far distant when travellers may be
enabled to go to India, from Europe,
''by Bagdad's walls of fretted gold, and
down the Tigris, and on to the Persian
gulf; or, from the south shore of the
Black sea to the crest, seven thousand
feet high, of the Pontie-range, and then
down the Tigris; or, another line, from
Constantinople east to Erzroonl, south
east to Teheren, in Persia, east again to
Meched, and southeast to Chickarpur,
the terminus of the present Indian rail-
road system The distance to India
from Constantinople by this last route
is three thousand miles, and the construc-
ton of the road to Teheran, in Persia,
would be exceedingly difficult Now
comes in the Russian line by an extern
sion in the direction of India of the rail

DEATH OF HENRY A. BELLOWS. Hen
ry A. Bellows, Chief Justice Of the
State of New Hampshire, was, when
called in his house in Concord, Tuesday
morning, found dead in bed. He is be-
lieved to have died of heart disease. He
had returned on Saturday from holding
a term of the court at Dover, and was
apparently in the enjoyment of his usual
health. On Monday he had complained
of slight illness, and at five o'clock Of
the following morning responded to an
inquiry by his daughter as to his health
that he was ''feeling pretty well. At
half-past six she called again, and found
him dead. He was born at Walpole, n
H., October 25, 1903. He was educated
at the academy at Windsor, Vt, and
studied law with Hon. William c. Brad
ley of Westminster. In 1926 he was ad-
mitted to the bar at Newfane, Vt. Soon
after he began the practice of his pro-
fession at Walpole, but in 1928 removed
to Littleton, where he resided until 1850,
when he removed to Concord Septem-
tember 90, 1850, he was appointed an
associate justice of the supreme judicial
court in place of Chief Justice Perley,
who had resigned. Previous to this
time he had gained a high reputation as
a lawyer, and his large practice had ex-
tended to every county but one in the
State. He was appointed chief justice
in October, 1869, succeeding Judge Per
ley, who had received a second appoint
ment, but had become disqualified by
age. Judge Bellows entire judicial ca
reer was one of ability, honor and un-
sullied integrity.
