in Missouri, who had been arrested for
stealing wood from a railroad company.
time to time, so when the culprit was ar
rested the company was so anxious to
make an example of him that it employed
special counsel and prosecuted the case
vigorously. The evidence against the old
man was convincing. He mad been seen
sneaking around the woodpile and was ar
rested while carrying off a load.
Il had subpocnaed about twenty we'll
known business men to testify to the
previous good character of the defendant.
When the prosecutions case was closed 1
put one on the stand and asked:
60 Do you know the defendants reputa-
ton for honesty and integrty?'
Yes was the answer.
What is it-good or bad?'
Bad. He will steal anything he can
get his hands on
"A litter ran through the court room. It
wasn't the answer 1 had expected. but it
was too late, so l put on bold front and
called another. He testified as the other
witness had and the prosecuting attorney
rubbed mis- hands with satisfaction. Be
fore l got through with my witnesses

thief, who had never known to neglect
an opportunity to steal some thing, no mat
ter how trifiing 1t might be. Then l called
a couple of physicians, proved the existence
of a mental disorder known as klepto-
mania, read some authorities to show that
it was a good defense if proven, and sub
mitted my case The old preacher was &C
quilted. ard thereafter stole with impunity,
for he considered his acquittal in the face
of facts equivalent to a license to steal"

meal you try to do hard work you will exhaust
all your energy. There will be none left for your

A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.
A Would-Be Suicide Carried 1t for
Ten Years.

n
Ten Years.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.
The autopsy on the remains of Hermann
Ploesctke, who died at the German Hos
pital Thu, sday brought to light the re-
markable circumstance that he had lived
for ten years with a bullet in his brain.
The ball was encysted beneath the left
temple and appeared to trouble Ploeschke
very little.
Ploeschke was at one time a successful
business man, but ten years ago became
i'll, neglected his business, and becoming re-
duced in circumstances, decided to commit
suicide. He took thirty -eight-caiiber re-
volver, placed it to his right temple and
fired
Ploeschke was unconscious for many
days, and for weeks he lowered between
life and death. The surgeons vainly probcd
for the ballet and it was supposed the mis-
sile had DETECTED downward, passing
through the reck and lodging in the mus
Giles of the shoulder.
Ploeschke finally recovered and was, ap-
parently, none the worse for his expert
ence
During the past three or four years Plo-
eschke complained of neuralgia pains on
the left side of the head which some timas
became so agonizing that he prayed for
death to end his sufferings. He applied to
the physicians, but none of them could
afford him relief. He told them a bullet
as if some one was squeezing his head in
a vice. The doctors laughed at him, and,
as Ploeschke numbered among his many
weaknesses an inordinate love for strong
stimulants his story was deemed a crea-
ton of diseased fancy.
Some weeks ago Ploeschke became i'll
from an organic disease and he was sent
to the German Hospital by some friends
His disease had a fatal termination Thurs
day, and it was decided to ascertain the
course Of the bullet fired into his skull ten
years ago. The brain was removed, and
over the left temple a cyst was found
This, on being cut open, brought to light
the bullet which Ploeschke had firmly
maintained pressed upon his brain.
The ball on entering the right temple
passed through the right eye, through the
upper nasal bones. thence it plowed it's
way beneath the left eye. Here it was de-
fiected upward, locating above the left
temple. How Ploeschke ever survived the
wound is one of these mysteries which de-
fies the best efforts of the surgeons to ex.
plain satisfactorily. Yet he lived ten years,
and aside from the pains its presence oc-
casioned at times. was none the worse for
the affair.

A Thrifty Maine Woman,

From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal
Talk about nerve! A Caribou dentist
tells the Journal that a woman came TO
his rooms one day lately, and, showing
him an aching tooth, asked If it would
come out hard. The dentist, after an in
spection, replied that it would be an easy
tooth to pull; whereupon the sufferer re-
marked: oval. I'm glad. A blacksmith
promised to pull the tooth with a pair of
pinchers, and 1 guess I'll let him do the
job, if the tooth is comm easy" And
away she went, leaving an astonished and
bewldered dentist to gaze at her in WON
der as she started for the blacksmith
shop.
