a PITTsBURG lover has sued the
Adams Express Company for So, 900
damages for the loss of his sweet
heart 1t is not the actual bodily
loss Of the dear creature, as though
she had been shipped as express
freight and mislaid by careless
messenger; that would be bearable
to the unhappy lover, for he could
then cherish hope Of some day find
ing her in the motley piles of I'M
claimed express packages annually
offered for sale to highest bidders.
His is more serious loss, even the
loss Of her heart affection, which of
course carries with it the grosser loss
of her buxom self. And in this wise
it is that the exp. ess company is re-
sponsible: On Christmas day the
Pittsburg lover sent to his adored
fancee, living in New York, more
or less golden watch and chain of the
retail value of $45. The precious
package was conflded to the care of
the Adams Company, but it didn't
reach the expectant maiden and
hasn't reached her yet. She had
been given solemn promise that her
lover would visit her within the pc
riod of the holidays, or, failing of
that, would send her a handsome and
valuable present. Naturally she pre-
ferred the present; and when it failed
to come she grew anxious, then sus-
picious, then resentful, then down.
right angry. Then she summarily
and irrevocably Cred the lover. The
Pittsburg young man did not accept
his bounce calmly and philosophical
ly, as the less ardent Philadelphia
young man, for example, would have
done; far the contrary. He kept the
telegraph wires hot trying to explain
the situation to the irate damsel, and
when she still continued to he irate
he dispatched a mutual friend from
Pittsburg to New York to assure her
that the watch had been sent, and
that his affection was unchanging
and feryent-mOSt fervent. But she
promptly fred the mutual friend as
she had fred the lover; and in the
ecstacy of her sorrow resolved to alb
jure mankind forevermore. There
was nothing left for the heartbroken
Pittsburger to do but sue the express
company as the author of all his
woes. His bill Of particulars recites
that ne wants $50 spent on tele-
grams; 500 fo. expense of mutual
friend to New York; $3.50 for anxi-
ETY. of mind. annoyance, humiliation,
and loss of sweetheart; total s., 900.
The defendant company declines to
pay the money, but magnanimously
proposes to send out a tracer after
4. the lost watch.

Got Him Sure.

Whoever has seen the Washington
monument in Baltimore, with the
crouching bronze lion of Barge near
it's base, will appreciate the story
they tell about the rustic huntsman
on his first visit to town. He was
shown all the objects in Baltimore
one by one, but gave each only a
passing glance, and not even SO much
as a word of comment. When he
came in sight of the Washington
monument, however, new light
shot from his eye. At last it was OBJ
vious that something had been found
to interest him. He scanned the
shaft for some minutes, running his
eye from the base to the point on
which the statue stood and back
again, Their fastened his gaze on the
crouching lion as ii fascinated. His
lips parted, and his city friends drew
near to hear his criticisms of the
sculptor's art. At last out came the
words:
"B'gad, he's got the old man freed,
amt he!"-Kate Fields Washington.

where the mind is waiting to be
pleased, the very sounds Of life, rural

That Was the Place

No one, of course, will deny that
energy is the secret of success. This
belief is the foundation upon which
a Boston clothing dealer hopes to
build fortune, and with this end in
view he advertises widely, and his
windows are filed with attractive
signs. But the other day he became
too energetic, for in the most con.
spicuous place in his largest window
he displayed this sign, painted in
black and red: Don't Go Anywhere
Else to Be Cheated; Step Right In
Here!."

pounds, and the Christmas plum pudding,
in the preparation of which a half dozen
chefs of the royal kitchen have been en-
gagged for more than six weeks will weigh

MURDER IN WASHINGTON
annie Leahy Shot by Her Steptathcr and
Brutality Kicked

Washington, Dec, PA horrible mur-
der was committed in the northeast sec
ton Of the city this evening. Joseph
Fl, Bean shot and killed his step-daugh-
ter Mrs. Annie L, Leahy, sending five
bullets into her body. When the deed
was done and she lay on the floor in
pool of blood, he kicked and stamped
upon his dying victim. The noise of the
shooting drew number of citizens to
the scene, but the murderer held them
at bay, threatening them with his
still smoking revolver. Congressman
MeiklejOhn of Nebraska, who was on
his way home from the capitol, heard
the shots and hastened to the scene,
and succeeded unaided in capturing the
murderer.
Bean is a carpenter Of dissolute habits
and for two months has not lived with
his wife, who became tired of support
ing him IN idleness. Congressman
Meiklejohn wears a Masons charm and
button and when he appeared on the
scene Bean noticed it.
"Are you a Mason?" he cried to the
congressman yes, answered the lat
ter, approaching, so am l." shouted
IlI5 JIuI 'tGi VI anu n II anu Army IldIs
l have killed a woman and they are try
ing to kill me. l want you to protect
me"
While Bean was saying this the con-
gresham slipped around him and pin
toned his arms. In q moment he gained
possession Of his weapon and handed
him over to the police, who took Bean
to the station. 1t is thought that Bean
is insane lie does not appear to regret
his deed, which he says was an act of
humanity, nicely accomplished.
