1t Was Tough,

A pretty little woman came out of a
big dry goods store the other day. Her
eyes were flashing fire and her face
was flushed with indignation.
"Whats the matter?" inquired a
friend who met her at the door.

Animal RarOmefers.

The tortoise is not an animal n
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid Of rain, but it IS singularly
so. Twenty-four hours or more before
rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes
for some convenient shelter. On a
bright clear morning, when not a cloud
is to be seen, the denizens of a tortoise
farm on the African coast may be seen
sometimes heading for the nearest over
hanging rocks. When that happens, the
proprietor knows that rain will come
down during the day, and as a rule 1t
comes down in torrents. The sign never
fails. This presentation, to coin a
word. which exists in many birds and
beasts may be explained partly from
the increasing weight Of the atmosphere
when rain is forming, partly by habits
Of living and partly from the need Of
moisture which is shared by all. The
American catbird gives warning of an
approaching thunderstorm by sitting
on the low branches Of the dOgwoOd
| tree whether this union Of the feline
with the canine is invariable the depo-
nent sayeth not, uttering curious notes.
Other birds, including the familiar rob
in, it is said, give similar evidence OF
an impending change in the weather.

Legend of Nantucket.

About Vineyard sound there are
numerous legends of a famous Indian
giant. 1t is SAID that the rocks at Sea-
comet are the remains Of his wife,
whom he threw into the sea there. He
turned his children into fishes, and emp
tying ont his pipe n day formed
Nantucket out OF its ashes. This latter
story Of Nantuckct's source must &C
count likewise for the we'll known story
Of that old Nantucket captain who was
accustomed to make his reckonings by
tasting the earth brought up on sound
ing. One day the lead was dipped III
some earth brought on board ship from
the island. and the captain, after tast-
ing, leaped from his berth in great ex-
element exclaiming, "Nantucket's
sunk, and here we are right over old
Marin Hackett's garden" Naturally,
he would recognize the taste Of tobacco
ashes.-Boston Transcript.

Big Men and Women.

What enormous fellows and what le-
viathan persons some Of these Swedish
men and women are! Nowhere Will
YOU see such noble specimens of adult
humanity as in StockhOlm's streets.
The feature seems to pervade ali class
es, though it is not least striking among
the nobility. Six feet Is a common
height for q man here, and really L DO
not believe ! exaggerate in saying that
men of 6 feet 3 or 4 inches are as
abundant in Stockholm as men OF = feet
with us.
The tallness of the women is just as
noteworthy. You remark it less, how
ever, because they are SO we'll proper
toned. They say 1t is easy to tell by
the size of the boots outside the doors
which rooms Of a hotel are occupied by
the Swedish fair. This is a very en-
durable hit at the Swedish ladies.
Though they do wear skies or sevens in
shoe leather, no sculptor would tnd
fault with them on professional
grounds. Moreover, they have most
winsome compilations, and Of course
blue eyes are nowhere more intensely
blue than here.
1t is comforting to know speak on
the evidence of II of the pensionnalres
that Swedish maidens have a great adj
miration for English bachelors. They
read French novels, but they believe III
English b~ridegrooms. The blood bond
still exists | suppose, between them and
us.-Cornhill Magazine.

Jowett's Congratulations.

Another story of Professor Jowctt.
\ student who had passed his greats
with some distinction had, as was his
wont, been taken up by the master 'Ti
asked to partake of his hospitality.
Tete-a-tete, the master inquired Well,
Mr.. , what do you think OF meta
phvsics?" oh" was the consequent
tial reply, my two years study has
convinced me that metaphysics are
humbug." Indeed, calmly observed
the professor, then You are q very
lucky man, Mr.. -, for there are some
who have studied metaphysics until
their SEVENTEEN or eightieth year and

ROGUE5 DREAD The CAMERA.
Photographs re the Greatest Police Aid
In Capturing Criminals

Photographs Are the Greatest Police Aid
In Capturing Criminals
The greatest all that the thief taker
Of today has IN his possession IS the
photograph. The thief and outlaw
dread the photograph above all things.
The long immunity from arrest OF
Frank and Jesse James was due to the
fact that no pictures OF them had ever
been t4ken. They were nus enabled TO
walk the streets Of Kansas City and St.
Louis, u attend thcatcrs, play faro II
crowded banks, loll around the rotunda
Of the Planters hotel and attend the
race meetings of the west.
The vanity OF the wild western train
robbers, bank Loldups and horse thieves
has, in scores of instances, led them to
pose before the camera Of the travelling
tintype artist. After that capture was
easy. The Dalton and Starr gangs owe
their capture to this weakness. But
the high class crook never has a picture
taken unless it is taken by force and
by police officers. A glance at the
rogues' gallery on the walls Of the chef
Of detectives Office will show a hum
dred instances Of where men have
fought desperately against the process.
All this amounts to nothing. \
man can distort his face SO as not to
leave a recognizable feature. He can
| not change the shape Of his nose, his
chin, his ears or the general outline of
his head. The ear is particularly a
valuable feature in Identification. No
| two men In the world have ears exact
| " alike. The construction will differ,
and the general expression Of the ear
has an individuality Of its own. One
| pair Of ears will stand out from the
head like wings; another pair will lay
| lose to the skull as if pinned there.
1t will be noticed that the SUBJECT is al
WAYS posed so as to bring IN the ears.
Police prefer a view Of the face and
head, the larger the better, to a full
length view. Where there are pecul-
~iarities of carriage or eccentrlclt1es OF
form, such as short legs, long legs, long
body, long apelike arms or a peculiar
SLOUGH, additional pictures are taken,
but as a rule these matters are left to
the descriptive circular.

Every police and detective agency in

den or prison governor are supplied with
a copy of it. He is taken in on sus-
picion on the strength Of his features
made familiar. His alias is swept
away by comparison with it and the
details that accompany it. The search
for a fugitive is continued into the
prisons of the country. 1t is a very
common thing for criminals who are
hard pressed for the commission OF q
capital crime to do like Jack Shea, the
murderer of Officer Doran, did-commlt
a burglary or some minor crime and
get put away for a few years IN prison.
Many q man has eluded pursuit when

AN INSANE MANS TERROR.

Panic In a Street Car.

Only a Conductors CooIness Prevented q
Panic In a Street Car.
A big, broad shOuldered, handsome
man boarded a Russell avenu car at
Wisconsin street and took a seat near
the front door. He was perhaps 40 OF
As years Of age we'll dressed, and Of
imposing appearance, but there were a
wild, startled look about his face and
an uneasiness in his manner indicating
that something was wrong. The car
had gone only a short distance when he
began to pull ~nervously away from the
corner, casting frightened glances over
his shoulder as though he saw some
thing beside him.
Suddenly he jumped up and rushed
to the door of the car throwing his arms
wildly, as though beating off an assail-
ant, and falling over the other passen-
gers in his haste to get out.
Shoot him.! Shoot him. he shout
ed to the conductor.
Shoot him quick, or I'll have to pull

longer. He's after me! Shoot him, l
say, or III pull his head off,"
The quick wittcd conductor, taking
In the situation at a glance, pulled
him out on the back platform and slam
med the door behind him. There.
he said, ''he cant get you now. Ill
keep him in the car"
But the assurance did not satisfy the
| unfortunate man. He covered behind
the conductor and peered over his Shout
der to watch his imaginary pursuer.
There he comes! Throw him out!'
he shouted again, clinging to the con-
ductor in abject terror.
"You stay here, and III throw him
out the front door" said the conductor,
to pacify him.
Twill you throw him over the dash
board?"
yes"
"And will the mules trample on
him?"
Yes"
And will the car run over him?"
yes"
That's right-that will serve him
right-throw him over the dashboard, .
and he laughed III great glee over the
project Of getting rid of his adversary.
The conductor went into the car anc
pretended to take somebody out of th.
far corner and push him out Of tnt

platform shouted his appreciation anc

AL COBLER GIVES BOND.
THE ITEMS IN EACH OF THE SIX
INDICTMENTS.
The Ex-Deputy Assessor Maintains a
Discreet Silence and Claims
He VIII Be Able TO Ex-
plain Matters.

The arrest of AL Cobler, ex-deputy
county assessor, was the subject of con-
siderable comment yesterday.
During the day he was taken before
Judge Smith and gave the $500 bond
required in each OF the six indictments
found against him BY the grand jury.
making $4,000 in all.
The sureties on these bonds were
Mrs. Eduardo B. de Brundige, his sister
in-law, and John F. Forster.
The arrest of Cobler released the in
dictments from the embargo put upon
them by the court. but the general ma
ture OF the charges have already been
given by the HERALD.
They are all directed towards alleged
felonious misappropriation By Cobler,
while deputy assessor. OF various sums
of money collected by him on account of
personal property taxes, and not turned
In by him.
THE indictments aiiege that on March
"a 1898, ,the defendant, as deputy asses-
sor, received $l2 from Julius Blum and
Villa Lubin, a firm, and { eloniously
hQDTOpIlhLbu ~ w Al6 OWH ubds
That upon May IL, 1898, he received
$50 from Messrs. Garrett & Sampson,
undertakers, and did not account for it /;
That upon March 10. 1892, he received
$2l from Julius B. Cohn and kept it:
That upon March "a. 1892, he received
$25 from Garrett & Sampson, and
kept it;
That upon May 10, 1898, he received
$50 from Leopold Goldsmith and kept it !;
That upon March 16, 1898, he received
$27 from Julius b. Cohn and kept it.
1t is said that there are Still other
charges that could be made against
Cobler, but the grand jury has at any
rate given these as q starter.
One thing to which public attention
has been directed by these indictments
is the small check the assessor has in
the way his Office is conducted upon de-
signing deputies.
1t has taken two years for some of the
Cobler items to come to the surface.
The indicted man does not say much.
He declines to make any statement be-
yond the general one that he expects to
come out all right.
His wife accompanied him to the CITY
after his arrest by Deputy Sheriff Yon-
ken Friday afternoon. Sne was present
at the ranch in the Cshuenga, where he
was found by the officers. together with
q Mr.. Bilderrain.
1t is stated by the officers that from
appearances he would not have been at
the ranch house if they had gone there
q little later, but that it looked as if ne
was preparing to take trip into the
mountains.
Alter Cobler's bonds had been ap.
proved yesterday afternoon he was re-.
leased from custody. and will be at lib
erty until his trial, the time for which
has not yet been fixed.

THE CITY ASSESSMENT.
Slow Work This Year with Talk o
Dull rimos.

Slow Work This Year with Talk of
Dull Timas.
City Assessor Hinton in talking about
the work OF his deputies in the field yes
terday reported that the statements were
coming in rather slowly. He further
stated that in some instances there had
been falling of in the valuations as
presented in statements submitted, but
as general rule they were on par
with those submitted last year. There
WAS, however, considerable complaint of
dull times and he anticipated that COL
lections would be rather slow this year.
The city assessor, by reason of the
provisions OF the charter, is required to
alphabetically arrange all statements on
the assessment rolls, and this necessi-
tstes shutting off the taking of state-
ments about the 1st of May, in order to
complete writing up the assessment roll
by June lst for the tax collector.
In the county assessors off ce they
are enabled to take statements up to
the last moment, inssmuch as the
names OF owners are entered in an
index. 1t is for this reason, the limited
time, that Assessor Hinton is 60
anxious to have all owners of property
eend in their statements as early as
possible. He is now receiving at the
Office, exclusive of the work OF the
field deputies, an average OF 100 state
ments a day,
