SNAPPED AWAY HIS WIFE.
A Little Family Complication Amicably

Little Family Complication Amicnbly
Arranged.
The very unusual story of swapping
Il daughter for wife is reported from,
Toledo, Wash, says the New Yorl;
World. \ farmer named Thompson
lost his wife short time ago. She left
linn little baby girl. The child he
took to a neighbor by the name of Put
quent visits were made to see how the
baby was getting along.
Mrs. Putnam was quite a comely FER
son and very soon attracted the atten
ton of the widowed farmer. Then lie
soon learned to love her and, worst of
ell, his love was reciprocated. The hus-
band discovered the situation The low
ers naturally expected scene but there
was none.
Instead Of making the neighboring
hills resound with jealous rage Putnam
called upon Thompson and they dis
cussed the matter in n business-likc
manner. Putnam professed to be tired
OF his wife and said he would as lief that
some other fellow would take her away
as not; but he wanted something in re-
turn. He wanted some one around the
house to minister to his wants; som
one he could learn to love. Thompson
had daughter who suited him very
well and, If it was just the same, he was
willing to trade his wife for her. Thai
suited Thompson and the girl, too. So
q bargain was struck and The exchange
made. Thompson and Mrs ;'utnam went
to Aberdeen and the girl 20 Castle Ro"L

CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
Young Lady Locked Up for Stealing
Diamonds.

Diamonds.
Chicago, Aug. 12.-Lillian Dickson,
a prepossessing young woman, is lock-
ed up in the woman's department Of
the county Jail here, charged with lar
ceny of $4,000 worth of diamonds.
The complainant in the case is j. w.
Hearn, New Orleans cotton mer-
chant, who, with his wife, has been a
guest of the North Shore hotel, Lake
View avenue, between Deming and
st. James court, for over two weeks.
The loss of the diamonds has created
a great sensation on the North Side,
owing to the fact that the hotel is
regarded as one of the most exclusive
in that portion of the city.
Lillian Dickson, as she is known by
her companions, was employed as
chambermaid. Mrs. Hearn was in
the habit of concealing the jewels IN
der the pillows at night and locking
them in burglar proof trunk in the
morning. Wednesday the precaution
was forgotten, and the diamonds were
left under the pillow of the bed.
Miss Dickson asserts her innocence.

ENGLISHMEN AS LINGUISTs.
Some Good Advice That May be Not.
ed by Americans With

Some Good Advice That May be Not
ed by Americans With
Advantage.
From the London Times.
Our consul at Naples, in the latest
reports, says that Englishmen are ex-
cellent linguists and ours is the only
nation which does not force it's lam
guage on subject races. Wherever
we go we administer justice in the ma
tive language, and if our own Ian
guage spreads, it is rather in spite of
us than otherwise.
Having good deal of experience"
he writes, II have no hesitation in
saying that, in the case of a vast ma
jority of the languages of the globe,
it would be found that Englishmen
spoke them better than any other ma
ton. We have many British subjects
here who not only speak Italian, but
also the unwritten Neapolitan patois
in manner to defy detection by the
ablest native, and the same thing NAV
be said of native languages all over
the world. The work ACCOMPLISHED
by the Bible society alone is stand
ing proof Of our capacity.
"The marvellous facility of the Lee
vantines must always leave them in
the forefront of the battle in some re-
spects. The extraordinary number of
languages spoken within the radius
of few hundred miles, from say.
ConstantinOple or Smyrna, leads the
people to acquire numerous Ian
guages from their cradle, and accus-
toms the the ear to take in and the
tongue to reproduce divers sounds
with marvellous accuracy. And when
young person has made himself
master of four languages, it is a mat
ter of no considerable effort to learn
two or three more. But the Levan-
tine has rarely a thorough knowledge
OF any language. He can only speak
it, but however little he may know.
he pronounces that little perfectly"
The consul thinks that the import
ance of languages to commerce is not
adequately considered. 'Tt is pitiable
to see the British commercial traveller
stumbling along with an Interpreter,
while his German competitor is con-
yersing fuently, and one is still more
sorry for him when his patterns and
samples are marked with English
weights and measures. 1t does seem
absurd that the first commercial ma
ton in the world should measure their
horses by hands and their dogs by
inches, their cloth by ellis and their
calico by yards; that such impossible
numbers should come into their
square measure of 30Aand 1910, and
in their measure of solidity as 1928
And the weights are worse still.
1T can never be too much impressed
upon British trade that all goods fol-
sale on the continent should be mark
ed in meters and kilos, and all cata-
logues sent to the continent should be
in language understanded Of the

A FIRE THIS MORN ING.
The First That Has Occurred In This City
 since the goth of July.

St-O pA C0td'
 Between 1 and o'clock this morn- ing an alarm of fire was sounded, caused by the burning of two houses on Louisiana street, between Third and Fourth avenues, owned by T. J. Ormsby.
 The first building was almost eoH- sumed before the alarm reached the fire department. The fire laddies succeeded in checking the flames in the second building after it had been gutted.
 How the fire originated is mys- terY. Ormsby's household goods were all consumed and the inmates of the houses barely had time to effect their escape after the fire was discovered.
 The two buildings, which were old frames, together with their contents, were probably worth $1,2O0. We understand the owner had no insur- ance.
 This is the first fire that has oc- cured in this city since the 3Oth of July; however, at this season of the year, one fire is usually followed in rapid succession by several others. Our people had better be on their guard, and have their flues and chimneys carefully examined.
