A Prize Snake Story.

J. w. Miller, farmer of Harvey county, lost eight cows during the past six weeks as the result of the strange freaks of bull snakes. Mir. Miller was at loss to account for this state of af- fairs, and after ke had lost eight COWS he spent day with the animals to watch developments. He was rewarded with the strangest sight he had ever witnessed A monster bull snake 8 feet in length appeared ill the pasture, and raising itself to the udder of the COW grasped the teat with its mouth and sucked out the milk. When it had satis- fled it's hunger, it dropped off MT. Mil Ter killed this and five other bull snakes that he found ill his pasture, and since that time his cows have not been trou- led.-Topeka Dispatch.

 Five hundred dollars" said the brother, and it was paid.
 Then out stepped all the bad men, complimented the bogus brother on his clever acting and told the smitten one that they would spend his $500 for a very fine dinner and most carefully and thoroughly drink his health. They did so, and he decided not to protest. He will be very grateful when he observes that his name is not mentioned here. -- New York World

Born a Thief.

James Logue, a white haired crim- inal, 50 years old, who is serving 0 two years sentence in Sing Sing for bur- glary, is said to be incurably sick. For this reason John F. O'Brien, counsel for the man of many burglaries, applied to Governor Morton for Logue' pardon.
 He bases part of the application on the assumption that Logue is Q heredi- tary criminal, in proof of which o 'Brien submitted letter from Logue's mother to her son, which says, in part:
 Just before you were born your fla ther spent all his wages in drink. l found it very hard to get bread and meat At last it got so that the only way could get his money was by wait ing until he was asleep at night and then picking his pockets. Many and many a night I have got up when he was asleep in the bed by my side, tip toed over to where his clothes lay, like thief, to go through his pockets and take what money found there. He was at that time drinking so hard that every night almost he would go to bed drunk, and the next morning he could not re- member whether or not he had any money when he came home.
 "Thus I went through all the brain sensations of daring burglar, even such as lam informed you have become. Shortly after that you were born, and firmly believe you came into the world thief, owing to that crimelike, though necessary, practice of mine. "-Cincin. natl Enquirer.

CLEVER FRENCH POTTERS.
They Initiate the China of All the Nor
Famous Makers.

Entering china shop recently, asked
the dealer the price of a small and very
beautiful piece of Delft which had attract
ed my eyes Tor weeks whenever l happen
ed to pass the window. knowing it must
be very expensive, had so far resisted the
temptation. Much to my surprise, the
dealer named very moderate price
''It is not Holland Delft, you know, ~
he said. 1.-The same piece in Holland
Delft would cost twice that at least. y
'Well, what is it then if not Holland
Delfts' 1 asked. ITO be Delft it must be
made in the Holland potteries.
''That is no longer true" said the deal
err smiling Strictly speaking this is
not Delft, for it was made in France AT
the same time we call it Delft and even
an expert Of the first order would find 1t
difficult to distinguish it from the genuine
article except by the mark of tho pottery
on the back. To all purposes, artistic and
otherwise 1t is Delft. Now, here il; a
piece of real Holland Delft, and l will
wager you anything you like you canuot
tell the difference.
This was true, though the pottery
marks were different The dealer went OH:
Modern French potters are the clever
est imitators i'll the world, and of late
years it is next to impossible to distin-
guish their limitations of famous Dutch
and German and even English wares from
originals except by tho marks. You caa
always depend on the marks, for the
French seek to initiate, not to defraud.
"Thcir industry and cleverness, however,
are in certain sense unfortunate, not
withstanding the excellence of their wares,
for they make famous glazes and patterns
cheap and common and thus lessen the
value of originals.
The many potteries at Limoges anG
elsewhere in France, besides making in
Vulnerable original creations of wonderful
beauty, initiate about every other well
known china in the world.
Here is the flower pattern of the Royal
Dresden for instance. The time was when
great prices were charged for that Dresden
ware. Tho pattern was found in royal
palaces and the homes of the wealthy al
most exclusively. But nowadays tho
Limoges potteries turn ont this pattern in
a thousand forms and shapes till it is be-
coming one of the commonest on the mar
ket. "-Exchange.
