Not long ago, in one of our smaller
American cities, bank cashier was
found to be a dCfaultcr for large sum
nearly or quite hundred thousand
dollars. Previous TO his fail he is said
to have been the most popular man in
the place, and "nOted for his church
work"
There was no question about this
mans guilt. Indeed, he confessed at
once, and without reservation.
Now comes the remarkable part Of
the story. Despite his confession, many
people absolutely refused to believe him
a thief. The jailer in whose charge be
was put, fatty declined TO lock him up
he took the dcfaulter to his own home
and had him eat his meals there.
The next day many of the leading
professional and business men called
upon him TO extend their respects and
their sympathy. His church associates
did the same. Bonds to twenty times
the required sum were offered to secure
his release before trial
The tendency shown in this case is
not uncommon. SO long as n man has
cheerful, companionable qualities, too
many people are apt to pass by his scri-
Gus defects.
Jim Fisk was good to the poor" was
the refrain of an old song by which a
maudin attempt used to be made to eX-
cuSe the notorious railroad pirate. 1t
is easy to be generous with what one
does not belong TO ones self. 1t is
equally easy to use a character once
gained to trade on for disgraceful ends.

THE "SWEET PEA" GIRL.
Durrant's Persistent Admirer Turns
Out to be a Married
Woman,

San Francisco, Cal, Sept 1G.-The
identity of the ''swect pea girl. the mys,
FERROUS young woman who has constantly
attended the Durrant trial. ana VINO has
attracted so much attention by her dcvO,
ton to the alleged murderer, has been
discovered. She is Mrs. Grace Bowers.
the wife of an insurance clerk. Last
"Wednesday she left her husband as n
result of her infatuatiOn for Durrant. Mr..
Bowers says that his wife never knew
Durrant, but that from the beginning She
has taken a great interest in the trial
and believes Durrant innocent II ia
thought that her mind has become affect
ed and that she is not responsible for
her actions.
The Durrant trial entered upon its
ninth week this morning. y slight change
in the programme for today was made
necessary by n death in the family OF
Mrs. George z norgan, whose cNauti-
nation was not finished when court adj
jOurned last Thursday
Durrant's defenders will he unable TO
persuade Mrs. Elizab beth Cr0sett to modi-
~ her testimony regarding her ride i'll
Valencia street car on the afternoon OF
April 3. The old lady is as sure Of the
day as she is of the fact that she rode on
the same car with DUrrant and tried to
attract his attention from the girl who
was with him.
Mrs. Crosett's visit on the following
day was TO the home of her Son-in-law iii
Alameda. The aged woman remembers
the day she went and her friends wro
went with her to the ferry will be able
to corrOborate her.
The testimony of Mrs. Crosctt will
be the key to the prosecutions argu,
ment. BY it the evidence of those VIII"
saw Durrant before he entered the
church and of those who saw him after
will be supported. Through it an ;,hso-

The crew of the tug Pcnnwood, which

The shark, which was about eight feet
long. had followed the tug for some

BATTLE WITH COLONY RATS
Over One Hundred of Them Siaught-

It was a hard-earned victory that
Walter Carter won over an army OF

fierce battle was finished he counted

Carter had no difficulty IN killing three

rats emerged from seemingly nowhere,
surrounding the young man with the
club on all sides. To show an instant's
fear meant probable death for the in
vader of the rats domain. 1t must be a
fight to a finish. Carriers retreat was
cut off. and he started i'll to fight.

| At last. however, he felt that the rats
were gradually thinning out, and
he had less trouble in keeping them
off him. This gave him fresh courage,
| and at length he realized that he had
won. No more rats appeared.
Almost overcome by the eXertiOns and
excitement, Carter staggered out into

and, piling up the dead, found that he
had killed 1O2.
