The fine courtesy of the old time
knights of the road" who robbed
people of quality with their hats in
their hands, and made profound obei-
sances before and after taking their
purses, is not, it seems, unrivaled at
the present less formal stage.
A gentleman who lives in a retired
and lonely district just outside a great
city has met thieves on two or three
occasions when going home late at
night.
One evening he was seized by a man
who demanded his watch.
'Ohi" gasped the gentleman, "you
are the same rascal who took my watch
two months ago"
II hope" said the thief very polite
ly, but without loosening his hold on
the gentleman's throat, II surely hope
your honor has been able to purchase

Exciting Chicken sten1inr.

Chicken thieves raided the henroost Of
a farmer near Belleville. N. Y, early
the other morning. Just after the thieves
got to work a heavy log in front of the
coops dropped and exploded a big tor
pedo. The farmer was up and after the
two thieves in few seconds EIe chased
them to the Second river They jumped
in and started to swim across, and he
followed. In the middle of the stream
he caught one of the men, The other
swan back and hit him in the face.
Stunned for moment he released his
man and sank. When he came to the
surface he had recovered from the blow,
but the fugitives were beyond reach.

How BIacksmithing Has changed.

Forty or fifty years ago the blacksmith
made all iron articles from a nail to plow-
point, and it required an artist in iron to
trim a carriage with braces and so on. To
day, with automatic machines that shape,
punch, upset weld, twist, draw, temper
and all the rest of it, the average black
smith is little more than a filter of things.
The tide is turning the other way, how
ever, thanks to the art of modern archi-
tects and the appreciation of men of wealth
who pay for new buildings There are
today in Detroit two ironsmiths who make
a speciality of producing fine wrought iron
work, while know of three young men in
Detroit who are studying and working
conscientiously and intelligently to become
artistic workers in iron.-Detroit Free
Press.

late war against the Cuban insurgents
His trial developed the facts that several
Spanish officials have been in collision
with the bandits, conniving at their viii
lainies and sharing in the plumber; that
they aided them to eXtort money from
those they kidnapped, and that Colonel
Mendez Rey and Lieutenant Miguel Fal-
con y Morales in particular had assisted in
the robbery of Modesto Ruiz Ruiz was a
sugar planter worth over 81 100000, and
municipal judge of the important town of
Remedies. The bandits seized him ON the
outskirts of his own plantation and held
him prisoner in the mountains, where he
was startled by visit from Colonel Men
dez Rey.
To regain his liberty he agreed TO make
will leaving 100000 to the children OF
the colonel, besides paying the bandits
literally. He did this and said nothing
about it after mis- release, being in fear of
his life but his daughter wormed the Sc
cret out of him and informed the authori-
ties. The result has been that the colonel
was shot and Lieutenant Falcon Morales
is condemned TO eighteen years imprison-
ment. In many parts of the island, local
reports say, this sort of thing has been go
ing on, and in addition the troops plumber
on their own account, so there is great dis
satisfaction and threats of another revolu-

A Fortune in Litiration.

Jean Thiery, a rich merchant and ship
owner in the Rhine provinces, died in
1916, leaving fortune of $4,000 Louis
dor in Paris and 100000 thalers in the
Venice mint. His heirs for some I'M
known reason did not draw the money
from the depository in Venice, 50 at the
end of the last century Napoleon found
it still untouched and appropriated it to
the use Of his army. For the last thirty
years the descendants of Thiery have
been trying to find way of recovering
the 100000 thalers with interest Re
Gently they all met in Cologne, and re-
solved to send their lawyers to Paris to
move the French government to pay

French chambers had already considered
their claims and advised the government
to pay them. Paris Letter.

4 cheap summer outing.

The big bridge Is the coolest place in
the two cities upon hot night, yet very
few persons cross it on the promenade
after midnight. Those who do have
delightful walk, and ono that is bound
to provoke sleep. Several months ago a
Brooklyn school teacher had a very OBJ
stinate attack Of insomnia, which would
not yield to drugs or the mental exercises
suggested for tie relief of the disease
y newspaper man advised her to take
bridge at night in moderate doses. For
Xix weeks she spent an hour on the bridge
each night before going to bed She at
tracted the attention of the police before
she got through, but she conquered the
insomnia, and it has not returned.
1t is not an unusual sight to see well
dressed men nodding or sound asleep on
the seats around the towers or along the
promenade at 2 or o'clock Il the morn
ing. The police do not seem to disturb
them, and a nap up there is said to be
one of the most refreshing things in the
world. An entire family strolled across
the bridge from Brooklyn and back again
between and o'clock the other morn
ing. The father carried babe in his
arms and two children walked with the
mother. They were al neatly dressed,
and looked as if they had come out Of
hot sleeping rooms to get breath Of
fresh pure air.-New York Times.

Japan, also in Colonel Olcott, Mrs Besant

On this theosophy business he said:

books on occultism were best to read, he
was constrained to recommend his Light
of Asia" "Song Celestial" (Bhagarad-
gita), and "Indian Song of Songs" (Gita-
Govinda) as the most accessible, if not the
best, grammars of theosophy to be found.

Antiforeign Feeling in France.

France is the latest nation to take up
the antforeign cry and complain that
strangers are Selling the birthright OF
citizens. There are now lS0,962 aliens of
divers nationalities scattered about the
country, so the Chauvinists assert that
these foreigners absorb the work which
should belong to the natives, or undersel
them. Further, the French say that the
foreigners make fortunes in France and
then go home TO spend the money Bel
gians are the most numerous, Swiss and
Italians holding the second and third
places, while Germans stand fourth Great
Britain contributes 1924 men and 1903
women to he French population. Besides
her hospitality toward aliens, France is re-

she emancipated her Jewish subjects Yet,

little for literature until he discovered that
his two sons had the literary talent. Fran

scores of two or three operas which Francis

Look not upon me with thine eyes,
Lest sleep desert me.
Breathe not upon me with thy signs.
Lest love pervert me.
Lay not upon my lip thy hand;
For though | tremble
In silence, shalt thou understand
How dissembley
II still say no single word,
My thought shall reach thee;
The wish that burns, but is not heard.
Mine eyes shall teach thee.
So breathe upon me with thy signs.
For sleep hath left me:
OF all the night, except thine eyes,
Love hath bereft me.
