The Absent-Minded Man.

A very respectable citizen of Detroit
decided the other day to try the blue glass
cure, and he took the glass and glacier
home with him and pointed out the win
dow where it was to be put in. 1t wasnt
the glaciers business TO notice that the
window was on the north side of the house,
where no ray of sunshine ever came, and
he finished his work according to instfuc-
tons. The citizen returned Just as. the
job was completed; and after walking
around the house two or three times ne
remarked:
"Well, it seems to me we have got the
wrong window"
"No sun here" replied the painter /;
"what shall l dol" &,
well" said the citizen, ashe sauinted
around, " we'll leave it for day or two
If can get the sun around here some
way it will be all right. If / can't well
have to take the glass out"
The glazier is waiting to see if the man
can handle the SUM- free Press.

upon his wife, insisted that her story was
true, and in support of his theory read
the following letter, written by her twelve
days after the arrest:

The magistrates, it is comparatively
pleasant to report, acted upon the theory
of the prosecution and recognized degrees
of responsibility. The young wife was
sent to prison for eight months, while her
husband and aunt were sent TO imprison-
meut for a year and a day, which, the
term exceeding a year, involves confine-
nient at one of the central prisons, where
the discipline is much more severe. Be
sides this, the two seniors will be subject
ed to five years surveillance by the police
after regaining their liberty.

One Mans Failure.

The following story OF wealthy mans
colossal fortune and the manner of his
ruin is from the pen of New York cor
respondent;
One of the heaviest real estate men has
been under the harrow for some months.
To-day lie has abandoned the fight, and
given up everything to his creditors.
He was a very successful cotton broker
All the money he made he put into real
estate. His revenues were very large. His
income was eight hundred thousand
dollars year. One building, near Trini-
ty church, yielded him a rental of ninety
| thousand dollars per annnm. Everything
he touched turned to gold. He was load
ed down with cotton. One day a mer-
chant handed him a check of three hun
dred thousand dollars to casccl Z contract

ged up and he made fortune. He

railroad. He bought bonds at sixty.
Soon after they went down to forty, and
the gentleman bought all he could lay
hands on. He took the road He pro-
posed to run 1t. He found it unfinished.
He equipped it;spept three hundred thous-
aud dollars in locomotives and rolling
stock. Ruin came to him as il comes to
every one who dabbles in outside matters.
The panic completed his demoralizations.
His fine New York property was mortgag-
ed for more than it was worth. To-day he
has ceased to struggle. Few men will be
warned and few men will be wiser for all
this. Here is a man who few months
ago had royal income of eight hundred
thousand dollars a year. He wanted to
make it million. To-day he is hopeless

scene was witnessed in the court of the
Eleventh chamber a couple of days since.
On the seat allotted to defendants cited
to appear but not restained of their liberty
sat woman some 80 years of age, of i'm
posing appearance and naughty demeanor,
with head such as one sees on a Roman
cameo. She toyed negligently while be-
| ing questioned with a jeweled fan, and
gave her answers disdainfully. Beside
/ her, but upon the prisoners bench, was a
! girl of 1S. a tall and slight brunette,
whose dark eyes, wet with tears, resem.
| bled those of Madonna in ecstatic pray
/ er. They were aunt and niece, both of
/ Spanish origin. The elder, Virginia Pull
| gar, is the wife of a Venezuelan general,
who in 1874 represented Venezuela in
/ France; then became governor of pro-
/ vince; then revolted and was defeated.
He is now planning another revolution,
| while his wife lives, or rather lived, an
elegant life, having an ample fortune of
| her own, In one OF the most elegant hotels
on the Champs Elysees. The niece, Car
men Losseda-" Nina" as her aunt called
hers the daughter of an ex-president
of Venezuela, wife of handsome young
were married last winter, and came tC
Paris to spend how sad honeymoon
In some respects the case resembl es
that of Nine. Kouwitchinski, the wealthy
Russian, who forced her little daughter
of 12 years, Nodine, TO steal in the shops
they visited. According to the prose-
cution the young woman I" lifted every
thing she could secure at the counters,
! - ~
shopman occupied. Why people so rich
should steal as these stole, why they
should steal as omnivorously as these stole,
the prosecution did not pretend to explain;
but at Nine. Pulgar's residence the police
found articles of all descriptions and
every value from 1,500-franc ring down
to pair of coarse wooden hose, from gold
bracelets to handkerchiefs at francs a
dozens cents apiece.
The young girl indicated as principal
offender took upon herself with touch
ing resignation the sole and entire respon-
slbility for the theft. She had but one
thought, one desire-to save her husband
and her mothers sister by establishing
that she had taken the articles in gues-
ton without their knowledge or assistance
