SPEEDY CURE OF A
SMASHER.
HAT

A well-known man about town, other
wise sane has taken a fiendish delight
in smashing the headwear Of MS
friends. No tile was sacred, no nas
too fine for his aim. Until Friday y
was this mans proud boast that ne
had sm ashed at least thirty hats since
winter. One particular acquaintance,
a big. broad-shouldered, good-natured
fellow. who had escaped the fiend'
was just itching to have his ule
crushed. His desire was granted Oh
Friday, for the fiend swooped down
upon and drove his hat into a shape
less mass Instantly, however, ms
own hat was off and the next instant
in shreds, and himself rolling arounu
the street under a mauling that was
not so gentle even as paving sweeper
The hat smasher presented a sorry
spectacle when he emerged from the
cyclone, but its safe betting that ne
won't destroy any more headgear.-

FRAUD MADE EASY.
How Impositions Can Be Carried Out
in Matters Of identification.

THE unreliability of evidence Of
Identification has long been recog-
nized,' said Charles w. Fisher, Of
Rochester. y. u, who was at tas
LiEdell yesterday.
1T is even possible for man to
identify himself. or rather to claim
that dead body is his own, when be
wants to make it appear that tie IS
dead A man who deserted his fam.
lily some years ago had the audacity
TO do this. Reaching a town far
enough away from home to make In
quiries difficult, he deliberately visited
the morgue and identified the dead
body of a stranger as that of his own
giving a false name and address and
claiming that the deceased had ac-
companied him from Rochester and
had gone out the previous evening to
hunt up some friends. A marked
copy of newspaper reporting the
Identification was mailed to the de-
sorted wife. and when later she de-
sired TO get married again she wrote
and obtained what purported to be a
burial certificate of her own husband.
A year or two later the trnant hus-
band repented and returned to his
home to find that he had been hoisted
with his own petard and that all his
deceit had resulted in was inveiglin.

petition or memorial to present at Yer
%sailles. He Immediately introduced
him to Louis XIV, remarking that he
was under a special obligation to him
The king grarted the favor asked Tor
and then inquired of the due what
might he the nature of the Obligation.
But for him, your majesty, | should
be the ugliest man in your dominlons:
