around until she left the store, and then
when she was about to board a car arrested
her. You will have to step back to the
store" he said to her. The woman turned
deadly pale. She took from the paper bag
cup and saucer and held them out to the
detective, saying: Here is all | took.
Now, let me CO." He took her back to the
store where.one of the saleswOmen searched
her. She had stolen pair of earrings. three
necktles, four pieces of yelling and lot of
other small things. Besides these there
were some articles which she had got at
Hearn's. The prisoner sent for Harry
Meizger, a saloon-keeper, who signed bond
for $500. This morning the detectives and
Mr.. Metzger appeared in court. They
waited and waited, but the prisoner did not
appear. M. Metzser grew very nervous as
lie glanced from the hands of the clock to
the door. At noon Justice Mcmahon called
the case. The detectives said that the
woman's husband had called at Macy's
early in the morning and tried to settle the
case. Half an hour after all those inter-
ested had lett the court the prisoner ap-
peared, accompanied by her husb band. She
was very pale and weak, and could hardly

His head fell forward and he burst into
violent weeping. Justice Mcmahon turned
his eyes to the ground and moved uneasily
in his chair The wOman's eyes were
closed, though tears trickled down her
cheeks. She still clasped her husbands
hand. After minute of oppressive silence,
he dashed the tears from his eyes and said
" Please let her 60, Judge. If she has
taken anything will pay for it over and
over again. l am clerk in banking

ALWAYS been very domestic: a rigid disciple

gifted with what is called magnetism, he
is vet peculiarly suaye and mildly genial,
and manages to have his way in caucus
and committee without giving offense.
In general appearance ne is like a sturdy
Englishman, but his complexion is so dark
that ne might easily pass for native of
some climate much warmer than ours.
And lastly, the shape and poise OF his hesd
are so very Napoleonic that every one IA

sican notices the resem blance at first sight,
and recognizes the fitness Of his popular
nickname The existence Of these EXTREME

ethnology; and IL the latest conclusions OF
scientists are correct, Major Mckinley
must be credited with a share of the blood
OF those dark aborigiues whom the invad-
ING Celts found il Great Britain and Ire
land.
Supporters and opponents alike agree
that Major Mckinley is very much in

of his special subject is due 20 prolonged

Wonderful Stones

The brain of the tortoise was supposed to
contain a wonderful stone, which was eff
cacious in extinguishing fire. and when
placed under the tongue would produce
prophetic inspiration. Another stone pos
sessing the latter property was to be
found in the eye of the hyena. The head
of the cat. however, was thought to con-
tain what would undoubtedly have been
the most wonderful and most desirable
treasure of all, could it have only had
real instead of an imaginary existence, for
that man who was so fortunate as to pos
sess this precious stone would have all his
wishes grauted.-Chambcrs' Journal
