A freight car thief was found az
Parkersburg, w. Va, the other day In
a Baltimore and Ohio freight car. he
had evidently got into the car at Baltl-

happened along and shut the door and
nailed it, thus Theoretically sealing the
thief. The car had been en- route three
DAYS. and the fellow had been without
food during that time. Every package
in the car was broken into. The pr1s-

Buch : rhing Exists Ii literature bat Mo-
in Real Lise.
IA writer in the Butfalo Courier repre-
SCENTS someone as asking this interest,"
ing question: did you ever know ny
n who could brilliantly at
breakfast??' The question is a good
ONT, says the Rochester Post-Express.
Why, indeed, should not conversation
be brilliant at the breakfast table, when
the brain is fresh, yesterdays worries
have all been slept over and to-day's
have yet to come? And were not the
genial "Autocrat, Professor and Poet
speakers at a breakfast table, where
surely the conversation was nearly akin
to b%rilliancy? There are other books
that give. al early morning talk, con-
versations which their authors think
worth printing, and now and then in
the journal or the letters of a great man
there is a reference to a breakfast-table
discussion. Yet, what one of us has
ever really come in contact with the
brilliant talk at s a. M? The very
fish-balls and buckwheat cakes are
humble, lowly, r~eassuring viands that
somehow do not inspire the %eloquence
that comes with the pungent flavor Of
the venison, the cool, self-confidence
suggested by the orange ice, the cpl
grammatic tetseness of the iafter-dinner
coffee. the genial sunniness of the fruits
and the sweetness of the candies. Even
clothes make a difference, for more or
less we always talk on the level of what
we wear-unconsciously, perhaps-and
1t is one thing to eat with a watch in
your hand and the work before you.
n another with the watch In your
pocket and the work accomplished
which is the difference to most men be-
tween their breakfast and late dinner.
We are reminded. to be sure, that
there are social functions known as
breakfasts" and the talk must be
somewhat interesting and clever or
they would have long ago died out.
But these breakfasts" take place at
noon, and the buckwheat cakes and
fish-balls have been privately and in
dividually served to the guests some
hours before. and so these are break
fasts in name only. There is, too, an
other evidence that the animal nature
has the better Of the spirit usually al
the breakfast hour in the circumstance
that the French, who could not bear ia
be conversationally dull at a meal, take
the first one Of the day in bed! How
very clever they are, and what a repu.
tation for unfailing %geniality, quic&ness
and fascination this one custom pernap:
has given to them! We believe thai
the most glowing description of a orilf
liant talker would be that he (or she.
was so at the breakfast table.

MERCEDES TOVAR DE PAINTING.
women They are graceful as young
deer, with velvet skin and eyes that
could give brilliancy to the stars. One
Of the regal beauties of Caracas is Sc
nora Mercedes Tovar de Painting. She
is tall, of Queenly bearing, and eyes and
hair of a shade Of blackness that Is
said by returned travellers to make the
ravens plumage yellow by comparison.
The Sonora Mercedes, like all wealthy
Venezuelan women, is highly educated
and further polished by travel. It is the
practice Of the South American families
to send their children to Europe or
Spain for educational training, or i'm
port trained teachers in case it is de-
sired to keep the children at home. Ven
ezuelan women to the charms of their
minds invariably add the attractiveness
Of personal beauty. There are few ugly
ones in the country. 1t may be the eff
feet Of the climate, or merely the per-
petuation Of the graces Of their great
grandmothers of far-away Andalusia.
The blondes are few and are almost al.
ways of Anglo-Saxon parentage.

Apache Kid Marked for Prev.

Three lads from Oconomowoc, Wis,
ran away the other day together, head
ed for the wild west described in dime
novels. Their names are Otto Behrendt
and Frank Sclie, each aged II, and
John Hubner, aged 16. Another boy
was to have accompanied them, but
was detected and detained by his par
ents. and from him it is learned that
thew had $40 and three revolvers and
proposed to earn $4,000 reward, al
legged to have been offered for the cap
ture of the Apache Kid, of Arizona.
They are supposed to have left on a
westward bound freight train.

Gladstone at Eighty-six.

The arrival of the eighty-sixth amt
versary Of his birth found Mr.. Glad
stone in good and almost jovial spirits.
and in comparatively excellent health
for one of his advanced age. When he
entered the railway station In London
on his way to Biarritz, a smileson his
face and a fresh flower in his button
hole, he looked a fine figure of a rugged
old man, and the crowd Of spectators
cheered him with unrestrained en-
thusiasrl. His interest in public affairs
continues to be undated.

The children Of the neighborhood
used to wait to get a peep at Hertlein,
whom they talked Of as q miser and
hermit. visited only by spooks and COB
Inns who carried their heads under
their arms. The old man heard some
OF these sayings and realized that when
he went to town to sell his cabbages
It would be inconvenient for his skirt
to be seen. But he didn't take 1t off.
He pulled a pair of trousers over it and
above the bodice wore an overcoat. This
made him look unshapely and awkward,
but he didn't mind that. A few days
ago he took his best set of crockery
in the house. and after cleaning 1t care
fully, put it in a bureau upstairs. This,
he said, was a surprise for he young
wife he meant to bring home in the
spring. At dinner at noon Saturday ne
