A Case of Absent Mindedness That Breaks
the Record.
A stylish and refined looking woman
got into Broadway car the other day.
Seating herself in a comfortable posi-.
ton she gazed with placid counte.
nance on those about her.
Fare, please!' recalled her to stern
reality. With confident air, she put
her hand in her poke t-horror! Moth
ing there but hairpin! Madly she
thrust her hand inside Of her mysteri-
ously made bodice-no thing! Her face
assumed an almost tragic fear, as she
gasped .'Oh, I have lost ltv'

him brand new dollar from its con-
tents. Il am sorry to have kept you
waiting so long," she apologized. The
passengers smiled, the woman blushed,
and the conductor stepped out on the
platform to make change. In mo-
ment he returned and handed it to her,
and his feature had gone back to that
Indifferent, cold stare of thorough
bred horse car conductor. Thanking
him hnmbly, she began counting it.
Over and over she counted that money,
each time her face becoming more and
more puzzled. Once more she tried,
but with the same result. Flushing into
an angry look, she beckoned him to
''come hither.''
"sir, did l not give you one dollar?''
'sYou did, num-" replied he.
We'll, there is but ninety-fve cents
here!' And she almost threw the sill

"And did ye expect to ride free?

she noticed the suppressed laughter of
the passengers, while the conductor
scratched his chin and wondered when
them things would vote Life.

The latest fad in New York and
Boston is to go without ones break
fast. The breakfastless folk say they
are immensely better in health and
that breakfast is merely matter of
habit and is highly injurious. Per-
haps these people may show the rest
of the world how to do without dinner
and supper also. 1t is awfully ex-
pensive to eat; the people of this coun-
try spend hundreds Of millions on
grub every year.

ment of the case is as follows:
On Nov. % Wilhelm Fischer, an aged
German who lived in the town of Brad
ford, was found dead by the wife of his
son Frank, and was buried without the
attention of the coroner having been
called to the case. Several years ago
Wilhelm turned over his property to his

for him in his declining years. The old
man, who was 70 years Of age, lived in
small building separate from the
house of Frank and it was in this build
ing that the lifeless body was found by

Edward Pannell, of the ST. Paul post
Office, was arrested by the United States
marshal at the instance of Postofic In
spector Woods. He was charged with
forwarding package addressed to Sc
attic, Wash. The postage amounted to
50 cents Instead of purchasing the
stamps at the stamp window, it is
claimed by Inspector Woods, that he
pocketed the SO cents and made use of
four cancelled 10-cent stamps. In doing
this he committed a crime which is
punishable by from one to three years
in the state prison, at hard labor. Not
to be detected in the fraud, it. is said
that he took the package down stairs,
which he had no right or business to
do, and there placed it in the mail pouch
which was westward bound. Before
he did this he recancelled the stamps
himself, another act which is consid-
cred wrong in the postofhce.
