Tha Gndad Fool.

Amid the many curious stories cur
ront about the late Max Lebaudy there
is one to the effect that he was to be en-
ticed into Spain in order to see a bull
fight and detained there until he was
declared a deserter by the military .au-
thorities. The persons who organized
this plan wanted to obtain from the
millionaire, in the event Of his having
to stop in Spain rather than face a conrt
martial. a power of attorney to control
his colossal fortune in France. The plan
was, it is said. defeated by Mile. Marsy,
the actress, who prevailed on the young
man to remain at Amelie- les Bains.

Jotted His Ideas Down.
An examiner Of lads under 10 for the
civil service 5mmission gave for a cues
ton, Describe the habits of fish," Here
Is a literal transcript of one ont of a
patch OF somes hundreds of answers:
1.-The shark is about 20 feet4lonp and
mas I'VE rows of teeth when the shark is
going 10 catch it's pray it turns OH its
side. The sharks are found in Indiad.
where they are very numerous in AT.
rlca, etc. The way they catch sharks is
lowering a piece of meat on a sharp
hook (and sailors will do it for amuse.
ment), and the shark is very hungry al
ways, that he will grab at the meat and
lind himself caught.
'On OF his foes are the sord fish it
will go and run its sword through its
stummick.
when the shark has been floating
about on the water for some time it gets
a lot of small fish in it's mouth and they
will go and lay on the beach and let
small birds come in their mouth and
pick them off and will not heart them.
The shark can live in water and OH land.
Going from England to Indiad, you will
see sharks in the nile, they will follow
ships for many miles on purpose to get
some meat. and then perhaps not got
any. They are different kinds of sharks,
the Black shark, Etc.
1.-THE shark is a very curious animal,
it can lay its teeth down when not
catching any food.
'Once upon Il time there was q ship
going to america, and on board some
slaves the slaves were pack SO close to-
gether that they could not live. and the
captin of the ship yous't to let some
come upon deck. and many of the slaves
yous't to jump overheard, and be eat
with sharks, SO the captin determined to
stop it if he could. So one day a black
slave woman was just in the acted to
jump overheard when the captin caught
her, and had had as many slaves as be
could get upon deck. Andt hen he had a
rope fastened around her vast. and low
cred her overheard, wen a shark came
and bitt a half off her off, and then the
captin had the other half pulled up and
own to the slaves on deck, and then
said to them hat he would do any one
of them the same way if the jumped

De course some men are born thieves

them could not be secured at the time
But Mr.. Elliott with the aid of the
authorities kept laboring on the case

had been disposed OF at Rock Island,
and by the Wulffs, at that. This
was enough evidence to satisfy all
concerned in their capture. and yes
