HAD TROUBLE ENOUGH,

A Show OF Misfortune Melts the
Magistrates Heart.
Frank H. Heverin, a weaver living
in the Kensington district, stood dis
consulate in the dock at the Central
station recently. Frank had come
down to see the fire ruins, and in max
ing q round of the grounds had visited
each convenient saloon to gather in
personal "reminiscences of the big con-
fagration. Frank had small sized
fire raging in his own body, the result
of his libations when he got in asurg-
ing crowd. She yelled "Pick-pocKets"
in q clear, loud soprano voice, which
rent the air, and as Frank was one OF
those in her immediate vicinity, he
was suspected OF being the thief and
taken to the Central Station.
The Judge was bordering over the
question OF the mans guilt after the
hearing. He knew the possibility and
probability of the woman's being ser.
iously mistaken, but, in the face of
Elias evidence that she had lost her
purse, and her positive assurance that
the prisoner had taken it, be could
not do much less than hold Heverin
for trial. He was about to pronounce
his decision when youngman flushed
and excited, rushed into the room.
"Your Honor, can l speak to Frank
heverin?"
"What do you want to say to him?"
asked the Judge.
II want to tell him he is q father"
"Is it q boy or girl?" asked the
Judge, with interest.
No. exclaimed the excited youth,
"twins!"
A feeling of sympathy passed over
the magistrates face as the prisoner
assumed the appearance OF a. twisted
oak not.
'Let that man co." said the Judge;
Chefs got trouble enough and Frank
dragged himself feebly out OF the
room.

The Duck and the Clam.

Along a stretch ofsloping beach that
marks the northern boundary of a
certain township on the shore OF Long
Island Sound, q sportsman, while
leisurely strolling in quest Of whatever
game might present itself, noticed, at
some little distance ahead, and but a
short way from the waters edge, q
wild duck swimming along with its
head partly immersed. AS the man
quickened his pace, the duck at the
same time instinctively endeavored to
escape from its pursuer, but with all
it's efforts, it's progress seemed to be
impeded by some unseen cause.
Levelling his gun, the hunter quick
~ despatched the wildfowl, and then
sent his well-trained retriever" to
fetch in the game.
AS soon as the dog had returned
and laid his burden at his masters
feet, the man saw Immediately the
cause of the ducks peculiar actions.
It seems that a large hard clam had
fastened itself upon the entire length
of the lower bill, thus weighing its
head down into the water. How it
came there is perhaps matter ofcon-
lecture, although it is not unreason-
able to conclude that while searching
for food in the muddy bottom of the
Sound, it ran its luckless bill straight
into the open mouth of this peace
loving bivalve, which Immediately re-
sented such an unceremonious intru-
sion by closing its shell. thus holding
him a prisoner, until, after many yio-
lent tugs and jerks for dear life, the
duck at last succeeded in disloging the
clam from its muddy bed.
Upon examination, the duck was
found to be in a very emaciated con-
dition, and was doubtless starving to
DEATH.
Now here, perhaps, is the only case
upon record where a living creature
has been known to be slowly dying of
starvation with its mouth well filled
with nutritious food.

She blushed, smiled coyly, and soft
ly murmured:

Ferreol took facre to more quick

drunk.
1t did not astonish him.
In the waiting-room his valise was
stolen.
Nothing astonishing in that.
In the wagon OF the train one Eng
lishman alone occupied all the four
corners-the first with his person, the
second with his glass, the third with
his umbrella, the forth with his
Baedeker.
Ferreol was not astonished at this,
either.
Then the train ran off the track.
Pooh! child's play.
Ferreol had his nose hall broken.
Ridiculous obstacle!
Briefly, with missed connections and
many hours delay, it was not till the
third day after his departure from
Paris that Ferreol debarked at Brest,
and swift as o startled zebra threaded
his way the Rue de Siam.

THE CITY MUST HELP.
Mayor Ronald Urges Council to
Advertise Seattle.
PRINTING FOR THE WORLDS FAIR
Fabian 3. Potvin Rejected ~ Major
R;ncharts Successor-Saloon
License Ordinance.

At a joint meeting of the two houses Of
the city council last evening Mayor
Ronald addressed the members upon the
necessity Of some action being taken to
insure good exhibit by Seattle at the
Worlds fair. He stated that it had come
to his knowledge that Tacoma and other
cities were already hard at work getting
out maps, literature and other material 10
show the resources they have. He was
confident that the merchants of Seattle
would give liberal support to movement
of this kind, but he thought the council
should take the initiatory steps. The
capitalists of the world would be at Chi
cago, and the advantages of Seattle as
field for investment ought to be laid be-
fore them properly. For $500 or $1,000
fairly good showing could be made. Al
though he was not certain as to the power
of the council to appropriate money for
such a purpose. considerable part of the
work of making maps. collecting data of
resources. etc, could be done by the city
departments.
Corporation Counsel Donworth was
called upon for an opinion as to the power
OF the city to make an appropriation, and
while not prepared to answer definitely
ion that considerable of the work could be
done by persons who should be employed
by the city.
Alderman Jordan said that he did not
think that $500 or S.. 900 would be sufficient
to give Seattle proper representation at the
Worlds fair. To do it in the right way
would take 0,000, which would be we'll
spent. and he was willing to be one Of
twenty citizens to donate 81 900 apiece.
After an informal discussion a motion
was carried for the appointment of COM
mittee. consisting of the mayor as chair
man, and three members from each of the
houses. TO consider ways and means for
the advancement of the movement.
Mayor Ronald appointed Aldermen
Sweeney, Jordan and Miller and Delegates
kloeber. Coryell and Lyon to serve on the
committee, which is to begin its iabors at
once. 1t will hold its first meeting this
afternoon at the MAYORS office.

Inc Detectives Now Think the Missing
Merchant Under Water.

c'Shant unuef "8tef.
John Keefe, the missing Everett furni.
ture dealer, has not yet been found. The
detectives employed by the Washington
Detective Agency have looked into every
circumstance which could lead to Mr..
heefe's compulsory departure, and have
agreed that his absence is due to nothing
OF this kind. They are equally sure that
ne has not wandered away in alteration
OF mind, since it would be almost impos-
sloie that a man so well known as he
should be able TO conceal his identity If
oereft OF his reason or senses This leaves
only the theory Of murder for them to
fall back upon.
one clue has aided the murder theory
ana that il the finding o: hat stuffed
with an Everett paper on Baxter's wharf
on the night of Saturday, December Il.
strengthened in the impression of murder
also by the fact that Mr.. Keefe had good
sum of money with him when last remem-
bered. the detective agency has spent a
large sum in letting of explosives along
the water front from Yesler avenue to Sal
mon bay. thus lar, however. without re-
suit IL is their opinion that if Mr.. keeie
was murdered, il was done along the
water front and his body thrown into the
bay.
j. Stroch, father-in-law Of the missing
man, yesterday secured permission from
the board OF public works TO use powder
in attempting to bring the body to the
surface.
II was only a few days ago that the de-
tective agency gave it out as almost an as
sured fact that keefe had left the country.
1t appears to have changed its theory.
The strange man admitted to the insane
asylum at Salem a few days ago was not
keefe. Upon investigation it developed
that the mysterious patient was young
Irishman from Omaha.
