A Live HAN in q Trunk.

Thomas W. Vines for several years
was employed as time-keeper for the
Adams g. Westlake Manufacturing Com
pany of Chicago. Once every week he
distributed among the other employees
the weekly stipend to which they we're
entitled. Last week he pocketed the
money in the envelopes, amounting to
$4,000. The embezzlement was soon dis.
covered, and the police we're given 8 good
description Of Thomas.
The fugitive discovered that the exits
of the city were so well watched that
any attempt to escape would be fraught
with considerable danger. He called to
his assistance confederate. a big
Saratoga trunk was purchased by the
confederate and Thomas aud most of his
Doodle were deposited in the trunk.
Thomas is six feet high, weighs one
hundred and eighty pounds, and the
trunk was pretty full when Thomas was
packed in. Holes had been bored under
the handles, and through these Thomas
inhaled air. The trunk was carried to
the depot and checked to this city Hast
night.
The confederate took the check and
WAS to have claimed the Saratoga as soon
as it arrived. The first baggage-smasher
that seized it stood Thomas on his head,
and then, with the assistance of another
smasher, pitched him twenty feet into a
car. His head swan and swelled, but
he was game. Arriving in the car and
bringing up with violent concussion,
another pair Of trunk thumpers picked
him up and tossed him half way across
the car. In minute big sample trunk
came laundering down on him and shook
all the pluck out of him. Then he was

trunks and other pieces of baggage until
lie was threatened with appoplexy and
sufocation. He says:
"They banged and slammed around in
q frightfnl manner, and made existence
miserable for me. I was tossed about
in all ma6ner of ways. Sometimes !
was standing on my head aud sometimes
on my feet. While the trunk was stand

scratched. My head was bumped and

Some New Automatic Toys.

The latest arrival is an Egyptian Harp
i.te, or Moorish queen, according to
taste. She is little body, only two feet
tall and automatic, but she knows more
than some people twice her height and
alive. She is elegantly dressed in Ori.
entail inery. When she is wound up she
plays a harp With great skill and accom-.
panies the exercises with appropriate
expression and gesture.
Ahandsome, dark.skinned troubadour
came over with the harpiste. He isjust
as accomplished as his companion.
When he is started and begins to strum
his guitar his eyes roll is ecstacy. Just
before be runs down, he is overcome with
emotion. His hand goes up to his eyes
and his tongue rolls out of his quiveripg
mouth.
a figure no less noteworthy and no
less talented is little blonde Partisan
lady, dressed with all the latest art. She
is wound up by turning key in her
bustle. Then she turns her head grace.
fully, rolls her eyes coquettishly, puts up
her eyeglasses, fans herself with the ail
of belle and Airts with everybody about
her.
A little French waitress with magic
teapot completes these wonders. When
inspired by 9 few turns of "a brass key she
pours tea into the enchanted pot. Then
the lid of the pot raises and birds, frogs
mice and other charming creatures jump
out.
A blue doll, as big as real girl, is
another of the new contributions of the
French toy makers. She throws kisses
and dances before a looking glass for hall
an hour at time.-Philadelphia Times
