capture Of the boodlers in Canada.
a week ago, last Saturday evening,
White receipted for $4,000 that came
by express. This, with the other cash
on hand, amountedto over $4,000
White and Gross took this and a large
sumwhich they obtained by hypothecat-
ing the banks paper, packed it in two
valises and left Raleigh, saying they
were going to Chapel Hill to see a
sick relative OF Whites.
They left in the bank So, 800 in bills,
and over $1,000 in silver. The lat
ter they could not carry off. The bills
were for the teller for use Monday
morning, SO as to avert suspicion
A police officer said he saw Cross
and White taking the train Saturday
at 6 O'Clock. Behind them was the
negro janitor, carrying two satchels.
The negro is named John Griffiiths.
He was the ianitor of the bank. He told
his wife he was going to Apex for a

All the parties who had private val

officials had taken the private valua

them guilty of theft-an extradition

be guilty ofan offence that would pro

Not a Pleasant Resort.

When an invalid goes to the Carlsbad
Spa or cure, in Germany, he is informed
upon his arrival that the spa is not a
pleasure resort. There are rules of habit
and diet that must be observed. ALI
guests of the spa must arise at certain
hour in the morning. At @ a. m. there
is grand promenade concert. Full dress
is required upon this occasion. One hour
and half later is the breakfast hour.
The fare Is Of the simplest. Should a
patient grow restless consequent upon the
meagerness of the menu, and indulge in
forbidden luxuries, the physicians of the
cure fatty refuse to longer treat him. He
is practically banished from the spa. The
whole thing is, of cou-se, under govern
ment control. A most careful diagnosis
is made of each arriving patient. If so
be it that his ailment is not one to be
benefited by the waters, the patient is
told so. can recall an instance of St.
Louis grain merchant who went to Carls-

through with him, he said: Il can recon-
mend but one place that will do you good;
it is the Hot Springs of Arkansas. DIR.

From Quaint Old Nantucket.

happenings there.
ssYou see, we are somewhat out Of the

tramps seldom trouble us, and it is only
when our summer visitors come that we
think of locking our doors at night.
Last fall a man was tried for petty lar
ceny, and sentenced by the judge to
three months in Jail A few days after
the trial the judge, accompanied by the
sheriff, was on his way to the Boston
boat when they passed man saving
wood.
The sawyer stopped his work, touched
his hat and said: GOOD morning,
Judge"
The judge looked at him moment,
passed on short distance, then turned
to glance backward, with the question:
"Why, sheriff. isn't that the man sem
fenced to three months in jail?"
eyes, replied the sheriff, hesitatingly,
Eyes, that's the man; but you-you see,
judge, we've haven't any one in jail
now, and we thought it a useless expense
to hire somebody to keep the Jail for
three months just for this one man; so
gave him the Jail key, and told him that
if he'd sleep there nights it would be all
right. '-R. A. Mari in Harper's Maya

Wouldn't BE Popular Today.

''Macaulay," said a talker whose con-
versation ranged over three generations,
''did not talk, he lectured. He chose his
subject, it mattered little what, and he
delivered discourse on it; poured out
masses of facts, or arguments, of his
torical illustration. He was not witty,
he had no humor, he was not critic, as
he himself confessed, he was devoid of
imaginative or poetic faculty. But he
had the most prodigious memory ever
possessed by human being, and on this
he drew, without stint and without end. !"
People in those days listened to him, his
authority was established, his audience
docile, nobody interrupted, controversy
was out of the question. Now" con-
tinued the witness, 'tno dinner table
would stand it; he would be stopped,
contradicted, his long stories vetoed; no
monopoly or monopolist is tolerated. If

And over hill and hollow rings again the loud

And in the field and garden thousand blossoms

Within the farmers meadow brown eyed daisy

Do We Really Save Timer

The faster we go the faster we want to
60. We go as fast in four hours today
as our forefathers went in forty eight,
and yet railroad travelling is SO slow and
such a waste of time. 1t IS only ques-
ton Of time, however, when railroad
trains will carry passengers so fast that
sensible folks will take to stage riding
just to see something of the world they
live in. Time is really not SO much Of

save much time by all our modern appli-
ances after all, for we get there SO early
we have to waste it in some other way.

Japanese Love of Flowers.

The love for flowers is innate in every
japanese, and the poor coolie, who draws
one for miles in a jinrickisha, is as en-
thusiastic and as deeply stirred over a
flower show as one of the upper classes.
Instead of stopping to rest after long
run to one of these suburban flower
shows, the coolie spends all of his time
admiring, exclaiming over and talking
about the flowers, and my particular
coolie the other day made me go here
and there to see this and that mar
vel, and walk back and forth to COM
pare and review the superb flowers.
There was no doubt but that he under
stood, appreciated and felt the beauty
and sentiment of the exquisite peonies
far more than we did, and it seemed
cruel that such really refined, aesthetic
soul should have to run like pony in
the shafts Of jinrickisha. New Or
