A Nice Legal Point.

The magistrates of Toulouse, in
brought under their notice which will
tax their discernment and legal wisdom
to decide. 1t originated with a curious
incident which occurred, we read, a
short time ago in the refreshment rooms
of the Toulouse railway terminus.
A customer, having finished his break
fast at the table d'hote, drew hundred
franc note (f2O from his pocket and ten
dered it to the waiter. The latter being
a little too far off to reach it, an obliging
neighbor took it with the object Of pass
ing it on to the waiter. Accidentally,
however, he let it fall into sauce tureen
that was being handed around at the
same moment.
Another gentleman picked it out OF
this receptacle, holding the sauced bank
note delicately by the corner. Before he
could give it to the waiter large dog,
smelling the sauce, seized the note and
swallowed it. All the witnesses of the
incident went to the police commissary's
office, the customer to whom the note be-
longed demanding that the dog should
be killed, SO that he might recover his
money.
The dogs master, however, objected
that the dog was worth far more than a
hundred francs, and the matter was. left
in suspense till the following day. BY a
singular coincidence, in the course OF the
night the dog, taken with some sudden
illness, died. The carcase was opened
but no trace Of the bank note was visi-
Bile. The magistrates Of Toulouse have
been called upon to decide who ought to
sustain the loss OF the bank note. = Lon

A PRETTY pANSY EAKLE

The pansy has five petals petals arc
leaves of a flower and five sepals (scpals
are the leaves Of the calyx, and the
calyX is the green outer covering or leaf
like envelope of a tlowerl In most
pansies two of the petals are plain in
color and three are gay The two plain
petals have single sepal, two of the gay
petals have sepal each and the fifth,
which is the largest of all, has two
sepals. The fable is that the pansy
represents family consisting of husband
and, wife and four daughters, two of the
latter being step-childrcn of the wife.
The plain petals are the stcp-children,
with only one chair between them; the
two small gay petals are the daughters
with a chair each, and the large gay
petal is the wife with two chairs. TO
find the father you must strip away the
petals until the stamcns and pistils are
bare, and you will find they have a fanci-
ful resemblance to an old man with a
flannel wrap about his neck, his shoul-
ders upraised and his feet in bath tub.
The story is probably of French origin,
because the French call the pansy the
step mother. - Detroit Free Press.

Weather Crop Report.

CRoP bulletin No. 13, issued from the
United States Weather Bureau at Hu
ron gives the following summary Of
crops in south Dakota for the week
ending July 4:
While, state considered, the amount
of rainfall has been Il little below the
average, reports indicate that heavy
rains have occurred over portions Of
some counties, notably Brown. Clark,
Kingsbury, Edmuhds, Faulk, Grant,
Moody, and Iankton, the fall over
these counties averaging about one and
one-half inches The average over the
State was about "a inch, but every
where the showers were well distrib-
uted and the ground is amply moist
The nights have been almost too cool
for corn, but this crop looks well and
is steadily advancing, especially in the
southern counties. Wheat barley, rye,
and oats have grown rapidly, barley
and rye heading nicely, and much OF
the early sown wheat is heading, while
much of the later sown Is jointing.
Grass has made marked growth.
A few localities report rust on some
OF the wheat and that sown on stubble
ground getting y, low while in other
localities where this condition existed
last week the condition has much i'm
proved.
On general average the week was
very favorable, although higher tenn
perature and more sunshine would
make general crop Improvement more
marked. Reports continue to indicate
that tho prospects for bountiful har-
vest continue favorable. No damage
reported from hail and no trouble re.
ported from insects or worms.

WISDOM FROM A CHILD,

A story is told of Harvard professor
who entertained a number of adva d
students at his parlors with learned
dissertation upon the expansion Of
heat and contraction of cold. He gave
numerous illustrations of an interesting
and convincing character and his guests
were evidently greatly edited and
pleased, while he appeared in the best of
moods with his success. As he took his
lseat his tlc-daughter, who was sitting
in corner with her doll, asked:
Papa, If cold contracts, why did the
frozen water break my glass last night!'
The great scientist and the clever
students were alike dumbfoundcd hy the
question. No answer was attempted.
Which was the greater teacher the
college professor or his little child?

THE GARDEN BIRD

There is little bird in England called
the garden bird which we have been
learning about in school, and thought
some other children would be interested
in it, too, writes little Edith Jackson.
The little husband and wife not only
build house for themselves, but they
also make a garden around it.
After having made up their minds to
build the first thing they do is to find a
nice spot of ground with some kind of
shrub growing near the center of it.
Then they pile green moss on the ground,
all around the shrub. Next the birds
bring long green twigs, which they have
broken from off the branches of trees,
and stick them into the ground SO that
they will lean against the top of the shrub
like the framework of small tent. One
side is left open for door.
When the little house is built the birds
at once set to work to make their garden.
The husband bird does the heavier work.
and all around the house he clears off a
space for a lawn, carrying away every
stone and stick and bit of straw that is
in the way. He then covers the space
with the finest green moss that he can
find and upon the velvety lawn he lays
many pretty berries and pink flowers,
and as often as the flowers fade he takes
them away and brings fresh ones.
This house, which is three feet long
and more than foot high, is very largo
for two little birds. Indeed the house
is ample enough to accommodate a family
of twenty. The garden, too, is large in
proportion and is sometimes six feet long
and even longer. 1t is said that the
people in that far-off country think SO
much of these birds that they never harm
them. And now you may wish to know
how this little warbler is dressed. The
top of his head, his back, his wings and
his tail are brown and his breast green
ish red In size he is about the size of a
robin. u New York Mail and Express.

Wichita, Kan, special: After a five
weeks hunt the gang OF desparadoes that
held up the Santa Fe train at Red Rock,
Indian Territory, and later atte mpted to
run to earth by United State Marshal
Grimes OF Oklahoma, his first deputy. Jim
Madsen and Deputy Lily, after brief con-
hict. News OF the robbers having beea
seen some miles from Guthrie reached Mar
shal Grimes, and without waiting to organ
ize Il posse the three officers started after
them. After a ride OF forty miles the mar
shais caught up with Billy Fox, one of the
gang, and a, already reported captured
him near Union City, oklahoma.
The officers secured fresh horses and
pushed on after the other outlaws. and
lust after dark the three fugitives were
overtaken near the Washita River in the
Gaddo country. An interchange Of shots
was had. but In short order the oatiaws
found their horses shot from under them
and themselves disarmed aud in irons. The
officers who made the capture rode nearly
lh' miles In eight hours in their pursuit.
Since the robbery the outlaws have been
chased from Red Rock to the Panhandle
and back to the Rock Island and Santa Fe
Railroads, and though hundreds OF depu-
ties have been after them IL remained for
Marshal Grimes himself to get the big re-
ward. The capture shows that the Daltons
had nothing to do with the train robbery.
