A Small Boys Discovery.

Mr.. Giltillau, ex-treasurer of the
| nlted States, has been telling 4 Ie-
porter something about various rob-
berries winch were made at different
times, Of Uncle Sans Golfers. One
bold thief was detected during Gener-
al Splnners time, the amount of
whose stealings can never be known.
Very little has ever been said about
hInI, as the amount or nature of his
crime has always been surpass ID. Mr..
GIltlllan gave very interesting sketch
of this robbery. The thief was {. IL.
Cornwall, the chirt Of the redemption
division. lie was 4 very ingenious
man, particularly skiIlful in palming
and sleig ght-of- hand tricks and was on
the committee charged with the de-
structlon OF money redeemed and or
dered TO be cancelled. The method
employed by the committee was to
first cut the bills IN two lengthwise
The packages Of half notes were then
thrown into "A furnace. Pratt, treas
ury bureau man, Vet in the employ
men: OF the government, was u MEM
Der Of the committee and one dav his
little son went with him to see the
money cremated. Tie little fellow
was very much interested aud when
he came out and was going home he
asked his father why one of the men
put the money IN his pocket Instead of
the fire.
'Dou I talk nonsense, said Mr.. Pratt,
hurrying along toward his home.
But The child was persistent and
was not to be suppressed. The next
time money was to be burned he again
accompanied his father, and this time
he was so vehems mt IN his assertions
that the man did put the money in his
pocket that Pratt reported the matter
TO the treasurer. Cornwall was i'm
medlately arrested and very serious
condition of things was revealed
much more serious than the authori,
ties cared to acknowledge.
1t appeared that Cornwall bg his
dex'erity in the art of palming was
able TO pocket number of divided
packages These he afterward sub
sntnted for uncut packages redeemed
and was able to withdraw whole notes
from the redeemed packages and SUBJ
stitute in their place the cut packages
he had stolen from the mouth of the
furnace. In this way the records were
made good and no trace left of the
theft. CORVALLIS house was searched
and large trunk was found full Of
cut packages of stolen notes to be used
in future substitutions. No whole
notes were found, however, and. Corn
wall pretended that he bad only been
able to get out few packages. He
was prosecuted for the theft of one
package of 500 notes and was con-
slcted and sentenced to short term
IN the penitentiary. Very little was
said about the case and the thief was
almost Immediately pardoned through
powerful influence. How much he
captured will never be known. 1t NAV
have reached into the millions.

A Fair Offer.

/ happened in Illinois. A buryir.g-
ground had been sold by the town and
time given for the removal of the cof-
fins The purchaser finally took pos
session, and one day while engaged in
plowing, he suddenly appeared before
the village shoemaker and said:
Henry, I've just plowed up the
bones of your father up there
'Eh! Is that SOP
'And what shall be done with emp
well, | Dunno
'I'll tell you what I'll do, Henry
I'll box up the bones and bring 'em
down here for dollar, or I'll plow
'em under as a fertilizer and allow
you fifty cents on what you owe me-
'Well,' replied the shoemaker, after
taking some time to think it over, L
guess you may credit me with fifty
cents: but if you find the bones of the
old woman, too, shan't take less than
seventy-five cents cash for the heap

One Chinaman who Got In.

In the case of Chew Fong Lee, who
applied for admission to this country
this week, on the grounds that he was
a student, the learned Judge asked
counsel for applicant what art or pro-
fesslon Lee was studying.
He is, your honor, conducting a
series of experiments and investiga-
tions in the art of desiccating and
freeing from moisture the long tailed
decapod crustaceans which inhabit the
waters of our beautiful bay; also in
pulverizing the palaemon vulgaris and
utilizing the carapax of macroural and
the cephalo thorax Of the anamoural
as an article of food
That sounds very good,' said his

w hat a Woman Can Do.

She can say No and stick to it for
all time.
She can also say NO in such a low
soft voice that it means Yes
She can sharpen lead pecil if YOU
give her plenty time and plenty of
pencils.
She can dance all night in pair of
shoes two sizes too small for her and
enjoy every minute of the time.
She can pass display window of
dry goods store without stopping-if
she in running to catch train.
She can walk half of the night with
. colicky baby in her arms without
once expressing desire to murder the
infant.
She can appreciate kiss from her
husband seventy-five years after the
marriage ceremony has taken place
She can suffer abuse and neglect for
years, which one touch of kindness or
consideration will drive from her re-
collection.
She can go to church and afterward
tell you what every woman in the con-
gregation had on, and in some rare
instances can give faint idea Of what
the text was.
She can look her husband square in
the eye when he tells her some cock
and-bull story about being detained
at the office, without betraying in the
least that she knows him to be
colossal liar.
She can rumple up $4,000 worth
of dress goods and buy spool of
thread, with an order to have it de-
livered four miles away, in style that
will transfx the proprietor of the
establishment with admiration.
She can-but what's the use A
woman can do anything or everything
and do it well. She can do more in
minute than man can in hour, ,,and do
it better. She can make the alleged
lords of creation bow to her own sweet
will, and they will never know it.
Yes, woman can do everything, with
but me exception; she cannot climb q
tree.
