A MOUSE SENDS A MAN TO JAIL
Extraordinary Discovery of an Old
Time Thief at the Capital Hotel.

Extraordinary Discovery of an Old
Time Thief at the Capital Hotel.
From the Denver Times.
A curious incident came to light at the
Capital hotel day or two ago which is in
manner interesting, and the publication
of which may be beacon to guide some
misjudged unfortunate. perhaps, into doubt
full leniency at least.
For q year or so the proprietors have
been aware that money was disappearing i'll
small quantities, which was a scource of
great annoyance. Finally, a trusted en-
ploye was discovered i'll the act of abstract
ing a small amount of his employees funds,
which had been taken in through the office
He was at once accused of having secured a
considerable amount, aggregating in the
neighborhood of several hundred dollars,
and ultimately apprehended for the theft.
He confessed to petty larceny. which was
all that could be proved against him, and
as stoutly maintained his innocened in ex-
cess of the amount he had confessed taking,
Circumstances, however, were against
him, and he paid the penalty. The matter
was settled satisfactorily, perhaps, and he
left the state A day or two ago the cash
drawer was found to be short Of a balance
in the sum of $25. A careful review of tho
entries revealed no remedy. and the pro-
prietors were puzzled to account for the
shortage Finally the cash drawer was re-
moved from its position and large-sized
hole discovered, through which rats or
mice had gained an entrance into the
money-drawer. Further search revealed
the fact that a new nest had been con
structed underneath the counter top, which
was built of papers tax IN from the drawer
In addition to this, the nest was lined with
three S. bills and one $40 bill, which bal
lanced the account with the cash drawer.

FORGOT HIS CERTIFICATE.
A Savannah Bridegroom Near
Misses His Wedding.
From the Brunswick (Ga.) Breeze.

From. the Brunswick (Ga) Breeze.
Mr.. Eliot Dunn gave the Breeze the de-
tails of quite an amusing incident that hap
pened on board the train while on his way
to Atlanta.
Shortly after the train pulled out of
Brunswick he noticed Savannah man on
board with an unusually happy smile on
his face.
The man seemed wrapped in silent medi-
tatlon on some pleasing subject, as he would
occasionally chuckle to himself. and Mr.
Dunn was quite amused watching him.
Presently, much to the surprise OF Mr..
Dunn, he sprang suddenly to his feet with
the exclamation: Great Scott I've for
gotten to get health certificate, and won't
be admitted into Savannah without it,"
The conductor coming through, the man
explained his dilemma to him, and the ur-
bane official introduced him to Mr.. Dunn,
who regretted his inability to furnish him
with the desired certificate, as he had
neither blanks or pen and ink.
but, my dear sir" said the Savannah
man, "Fm on my way to get married, and
if I'm detained shall be ruined"
IF you get me pen and ink, I'll write you
a certificate" said Mr.. Dunn.
The conductor said there was none on
board, and that it would be impossible to
detain the train until it could be obtalned
at Jesup.
"But, nv dear sir, the girl, the preacher,
and the guests, will all be waiting and
wondering why do not put in an appear
ance," said the man.

vannah, where there is no telegraph sta

Finally Mr. Dunn gave him his own GER
tiAcate, and told him to see IL he could pass
on it.
This morning Mr.. Dunn received a letter
from stating that the certificate bad passed
bin all right, and that after getting married
De had added the words 'and wife" TO 1t, so
that it read elliot Damn and wife," under

quarters OF an hour ago by the clock, she
and her little boy; she walked through until
she found table unoccupied and took pos

Lord love you, it barely holds one like her
comfortably. She had the waiter bring a
high chair for the young club, took of his
hat and coat, used oae big dinner napkin to
pin around his neck aud another to lay
over his lap, filed the other two chairs
with her bundles, cloak, etc., then picked
up the menu card and began to study it.

minutes before she confided to the patient
waiter her wants He was back in less

milk for sonny.
Bread, of course, is served with the soup,
and the two have made slow and hearty

WHY WOMEN SWIM WELL.
Their Precious Bones are Lighter and
Their Flesh is More Buoyant.

Their Flesh is More Buoyant.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The records of the humane societies on
both side of the Atlantic show that of late
years fair proportion of their medals fall t.
the lot of girls. There " ere several notable
instances of rescue from drowning last sum
mer by girls under 20 years OF age Many
women are accomplished swimmers This
is but natural. AS their bones are gener-
ally lighter than those of men, and their
flesh more buoyant, they have less diff
Guilty to overcome in acquiring the
art. Some of them could float at their first
attempt, if they could acquire the requisite
faith in the power Of the water to hold them
up.
Swimming is very much an art of faith,
for it is generally the case that when per-
son believes sufficiently in the buoyancy of
the water to trust to it his precious body,

girls at Newport last summer who could
float on the surface of the ocean with no
no more difficulty than they experienced in
lying upon sofa. They could have floated
for hours, if necessary.
Some of the most famous swimming feats
have been accomplished by very young
women,
