: CHARLIE is LOST.
And His Dear Aunt Mopes For tho Re-
turn of the Wanderer.


Charles aunt came into police head
quarters the other day and wanted the
department. to go out and hunt for Char
lie, whose last name is O'Brien. Miss
ing children are reported every hour Of
the day at headquarters, and they did
not see anything unusual in Charles
disappearance until the facts came out.
They turned Charles aunt, who lives
at 10 Sheldon street, over to Detective
Swan.
The detective, with due regard for
the sorrow at the thought Of the lost
] Charlie, prepared to ask number Of
questions Tears almost welled up in
his eyes as he pictured the little lost
one wandering helplessly about in the
streets of great city.
"What time yesterday did you miss;
him?" he gently inquired.
"Sure, it wasn't yesterday at all I
missed him. said Charles aunt.
How long ago was it?'' softly asked
the detective.
"Three years ago come last Monday
was the answer.
Mr.. Swan fell back in his chair with
dull thud. "Three years, did you
say?'' and he looked out of the window
SO he could have a laugh all by himself
''Have you picture of him?'' asked
Mr.. Swan, and the caller produced
tintype of clever looking little chap.
'That was taken some years ago."
said Charles aunt. "He was years
old then. -
"And how old was he when he disap-
peared?' asked Mr. Swan.
sHe was over IT," was the answer.
Mr.. Swan gasped again. "And then
he's about 81 now, he remarked. "And
then he's been missing three years, and
you don't know where he is, and we've
got the picture Of boy years old to
find him with. That picture looks about
as much like Charlie as I do. The best
thing you can do if you want to find
Charlie is to advertise. Providence

Fought Shy of the Trap.
Some years since, while hunting in
northern Michigan, I tried, with the aid
of a professional trapper, to entrap a
fox who made nightly visits to spot
where the entrails Of deer had been
thrown. Although we tried every expe-
dent that suggested itself to us, we
were unsuccessful, and, what seemed
very singular, we always found the trap
sprung My companion insisted that the
animal dug beneath it, and putting his
paw beneath the jaw pushed down the
pan with safety to himself, but though
the appearance seemed to confirm it I
could badly credit his explanation. An
other year, in another locality Of the
same region, an old and experienced
trapper assured me of its correctness and
said in confirmation that he had several
times caught them, after they had made
two or three successful attempts to
spring the trap by the simple expedient
of setting it upside down, when, Of
course, the act Of undermining and
touching the pan would bring the paw
within the grasp Of the jaws.-Mr. Gre

Electric Shocks.


Here are some odd opinions concern
ing the force of the electric current
given by DR.. G. F. Chandler before the
Columbian School Of Mines: can inter-
esting misrepresentation which exists in
the mindssof many people is one con-
corning the vital dangers which Turk in
the pressure Of, say, 1000 volts. The
newspapers often tell of man-who has
been killed from such a pressure,
whereas, in fact. such a pressure alone
could not kill a humming bird. I have
frequently caught in my hand sparks
possessing an electro motive power of
100, 900 volts without feeling anything
more than a very slight burn. The dam
ger arises only when the volts are re-
enforced by good many ampheres or
currents. In such case the force of the
current suddenly decomposes all the
fluids in tho body. The salt in the blood
instantly turns to chlorine gas, and the
person who has his veins charged with
such deadly poison cannot be expected
to live many seconds ST. Louis Re-
