Stone was also one of the fogr journal
lists who made the staff of the Specta-

years of its existence, which was the
most readable and most widely circulat-

Both Climbed n Laddet.

A ladder leading to an open window
In the second story OF the residence of
]. G. Harlowe. Chicago, attracted the
attention of officer Newman, Of the
Desplaines street station, about o'clock
the other morning. The officer climbed
up the ladder and stealthily entered
the window just as a burglar drew q.
revolver and pointing 1t at Mrs. Har-
lowe commanded her to lie still and
make no cutlery. The burglar turned
upon the officers approach, but the lat
ter was too quick for him, and covering
him with his revolver placed him under
arrest. While engaged in doing this an
other man. evidently a confederate, got
out Of the window and made his escape
down the ladder. The prisoner was taxi
en- to the Desplaines street station,
where he said his name was Walter
Mitchell. He refused to say who his
confederate was. The opportune arri-
val of the officer prevented the men
from getting anything from the house.
Mitchell and his companion evidently
noticed the open window. and going in
to the yard in the rear of the house they
procured ladder. When they entered
the room they found themselves in the
sleeping apartment of Mr. and Mrs.
Harlowe. The noise they made awak-
ened Mrs Harlowe and she screamed.

dence, La, where her father, Judge
Felix Rosworth, was a prominent law
yer and was twice Judge of the parish
In which the family lived, enjoying a
lucrative practice. as well as being n
wealthy, successful planter. Civil war
swept all away; and the thorny path of
journalism started from the ruins of a
luxurious home. Since early childhood
she has had a taste for writing, much
encouraged by her uncle, Senator Joe
Blackburn OF Kentucky, who took great
pride in her education, and directed her
reading from the time she was a very
little girl. Her first experience in jour
nalism was on the old Missouri Repub-
lican, twelve or fourteen years ago.
Having at that time five children, re-
curing much Of her time and attention,
she found a daily paper too absorbing,
and resigned her position of special
work for similar work on the American
Queen of New York, q weekly publica-
ton, and on a local weekly, The Crl-
terion, Of st. Louis. She has adhered
religlously to weeklies since that time,
and five years ago started st. Louis

Is a scheme to Get Fees.

Special Agent Dickson, at Pine
Ridge, S. D.. has reported to the In
dian office that American Horse, the
well-known Sioux chief, has been ar
rested on a charge of bigamy, and re-
leased on bail pending trial. The agent
recommends that steps be taken to stop
the proceeding. which he regards as the
first in a series Of like arrests. All the
older Indian chiefs have had several
wives for forty years and more, and no
one has ever dreamed OF interfering be-
fore. The impression prevails in the In
dian Office that the arrest of American
Horse is a part of a general plan, OF
which the recent Turtle mountain dis
turbances were part, to trump W
cases against Indians and secure fees
for the United States deputy marshals
who make the arrests.

His Pigeons In a stew.

Of reporter of an Antwerp journal who
was sent by his editor to Brussels TO
take down a report Of the kings speech.
In order that the report should come
back very quick the editor gave him two
carrier pigeons, trained TO fly between
the two cities, by which he should send
back his message. When the reporter
reached the capital he went into a res
taurant, and, handing the pigeons to
the waiter, ordered his luncheon. He
was kept waiting a long time, but final

he much enjoyed. When he had fin
