A curious incident came TO light at
the Capital Hotel u day or two ago, which
is in mannr interesting, aud the public
ton of which may be beacon 20 guide
some mis Judged unfortunate, perhaps,
into doubtful lenieucy az least. For year
or so the LrOprletOrs have been aware
that money was disappearing in small
quantities, which was a source of great
annoyance. Finally, "a trusted emplOye
WIS discovered in the act OF abstscting
small pmOuut Of his employers funds,
which had beer taken in through the Office.
He was az once accused OF having secured
a considerable amount, aggregting in the
neiRhb0rhood Of several hundred dollars
and ultimately apprehcnded for the theft.
He confessed 10 petit larceny, which
was atl that could be proved against him,
and m stuutly maintained his innocence
In exoess OF the amount he had confessed
10 taking.
Circums' auco- however, were against
him and he paid the penalty. The matter
was settled satisfactorily perhaps. and he
left She state. A day or two ago the cash
drawer was found 10 be short OF q balance
IN the sum OF $50. A careful review OF
the entries revealed no remedy, and the
prOperlst0rs we're puzzled 10 account for
the shortage Finally the cash drawer
Was removed from jts position and a
large sized hole discovered through which
rats or mice had gained an entrance into
the money drawer Further seaoh reveal.
ed the fact that a new nest had been con
structed underneath the eounter-top,
which va- built of paper taken from the
drawer. In addition TO this the nest was
lined with three fve-dolar bills and ono
ten dollar bin which balanced the account
with the cash drawer.

Its tender message seems TO say;

Forever flies from every tomb;
Thy darling on His breast finds room.
Noinky plumes Of wicd-toss'd shape,
No willow Wteps. no shred OF Grape

Where Jesus love bears Eentlest sway;
No nights, no Winters there-ti May"
