ALL THE COMFORTS OF A HOME.
A Kansas Thief Wants for Nothing,
Not Even Medicine and q Gravestone.

A Kansas City dispatch to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat says: Kansas City has de-
veloped one Of the most unique thieves that
has yet been heard of in real life. Several
months ago the police force learned that a
sneak thief was making depredations upon
cellars and pantries. and even on outlying
grocery stores. and carrying on canned
goods and Such eatables as were not per-
ishable.
There were certain peculiarities about the
robberies that led the police to believe that
they were all done by the same person, but
there was no clue that they could follow TO
catch the thief. After amassing a goodly
quantity OF food on which to start TO
housekeeping the thief began on fuel, and
whole cart loads were carried away, each
case showing the evidences of the food
thief. When full supply OF coal was TAX
en- the thief turned his attention to furni-
ture. and carried on articles Of all kinds,
from light chairs to a heavy bedstead with
mattresses. An entire bed room set was
taken from a house and no trace left The
family was absent for a night and on their
return they found their room despoiled.
Having furnished his bed room and parlors
the depredator set about getting his Kitchen
In order. and first an ice chest was taken
from a house in Armourdale. and then a
cooking stove and kitchen table from a
house In Rosedale. BY this time the police
were fully alive to the fact that the steal
ing was going on right under their noses,
and they began to talk about the queer
thief. This attention seems to have dat
tered the thief. for he signalized his pres
ence next by carrying of a large base
burner stove from a parlor in Kansas City,
Kan. while the family was spending the
evening with neighbor. This occurred
last week. and since then IL appears tina,
the man has his furniture, food. and fuel
for the winter. for the depredations have
ceased.
Another phase. however, seems to have
broken out and IL is evident that a mem.
Der OF the thief's family has sickened and
died. few days ago a drug store was
broken into and medicine taken and last
night the climax was reached when the
thief went to the cemetery out on the Quin.

stone. There Is a talent here that shows
the development OF a system that would

realism. The shells Of hard-boiled eggs,
brown paper bags, refuse bread erusts and
empty bottles and sardine cans attest the
march of the people. Two dozen booths,
with their Indifferent assortments Of cheap
mementos. carved penhoIders toy chalets,
watch charms. gaudy postal cards and the
like distract the attention of many people
from the view. The rarity Of the air makes

From the Pacific Tree and Vine.
In Monterey, as we'll as Santa Clara
county, there grows a weed called the rat
tlesnake weed. 1t Is SO named from the
story that when rattlesnakes get to fight
Ing and bite each other. this weed, If eaten
by them, will prevent death. 1t grows
about six inches tall. has a red stalk and
slender leaves. On the top Of the stalk
comes a head of flowers, and the seeds of
these flowers are said to be very annoying
to one in passing through a mass Of them,
as they are furnished with sharp barbs
commonly called stickers. The early set
tiers who had herds Of sheep always made
their herdsmen keep with them a bottle of
strong tea made Of rattlesnake weed. and
when any of the sheep were bitten they
were drenched with this tea, which always
saved them.

A NEW Use FOR THE MES
QUITE BEAN.

A new industry is likely to bs
created in the southwest through
the discovery Of San Antonio,
Texas, !msn, who has been srpsri-
menting With the mesquite bean,
and has discovered that it 10 mos:
valuable substitute for cetfss, in fact
equal to the best Java as 4 bsv.r-
age. says the Silver B.lt.
A chemical anal ysis OF the bsan
revealed that its constituents ara
much the same as coffss. The dis
covsrsr also invested and had pat
entsd method for removing the
tibross Substance surrounding the
bean. As = beverage it 10 said to
possess a delicious aroma, asd
while it acts As . stinlulant in
much the same way as coffee, there
are no unpleasant eff.sts frllowing
its use.
A company with ample capital
has been formed to convert the
mesquite bean into q marketable
product ssa substitute for coffes.
It is believed the industry is dss.
tined to become OF considerable i'm
portance.
The prairies of that portion OF
Texas, south and west OF the Colo
rads river are covered with the
mesquite tree, growing in its wild
state. The tree Is also indigenous
to New Mexico, Arisona and the
greater part of Mexico. 1t thrivss
in { dry climate, and gives its great
yield OF beans daring seasons of
severe drought. 1t 10 estimated
