with his parents until 1888 and there
he picked up the rudiments of the bar
bers' trade. When he began to ap-
proach mans estate Isbell decided to
leave the little country town in which
he was raised and strike out for him
self in Chicago. His shop soon became
the favorite of all the politicians of that

Slave Trade in Morocco

Late accounts from Morocco show
that the Moors still carry on slave trad
ing at the very doors of western civili-
zation. A powerful administrator of
the Gharb district, named El-Ameen-
Oold-el-Dawia, recently purchased
three slaves, one of them being hand
some-looking woman of about 81 years.
for which this official paid ED. This
slave buyer is a persona grata at the
shereefian court and makes presents
to influential court personages. At
times these distinguished courtiers find
they possess more slaves than they re-
quire, so they send these wretched be-
ings to the public auction market in
the capital. and generally obtain good
prices for them.
Generally the slaves are taken from
negro families that have been brought
up from their childhood in Morocco.
and dealers are continually bringing
others from the Soos provinces At
least two dealers journey to Tangier
itself twice year, bringing boys and
girls, who are sold privately to the rich
Moors of that city. Moorish govern
ment officials do not stop this disgrace

Birds Puzzled by Kites.

Many amusing experiences have been
the lot of the scientists who have been
manipulating kites for scientific pur-
poses. Large birds are always interest
ed in the strange devices floating In the
air and cannot quite make out what
they are. Prompted by sharp curiosity,
they hover around the floating kites
and subject themselves to the danger OF
becoming entangled in the silken string
and being dragged down to earth.
No bird, however, has ever alighted
on kite or attacked one, says the Chi
cago News. While one scientist was
flying a train of five kites a couple of
years ago a large silvertipped eagle
came suddenly out of the higher air
and swooped round and round the first
kite, looking against the sunset sky
like huge silver ball. AS the train OF
kites was pulled in the eagle followed,
visiting one kite and then another,
seeming uncertain just what to do. In
II few minutes when he seemed to have
decided that they were not good to eat,
and he knew nothing about them any
way, he Indignantly flew off and was
lost to view.
Another experience was had with a
stork that came from the New Jersey
side of the Hudson and flew straight
for the queer object in the air. He ap-
parently had made up his mind to go
straight through 1t, but changed and
dived underneath it. He went around
and above 1t, and through a glass it
could be seen that he cooked his eye at
the intruder In a most comical manner.
He started away few hundred feet,
changed his mind and came swooping
back. He finally reluctantly went away,
mystified over this queer addition to
the inhabitants of the air.
While kites were high in the air one
March fiocks of geese flying in the v
wedge flew over. They Invariably
stopped, broke up and lowered about
the queer object, and at last slowly re-
formed and flew away. While the larg-
er birds all come from heights above
the kites, the small birds of the air will
allght on the string holding the kite
and sway to and fro.

WOMAN is AN EMBEZZLER.
Alice NJ. Barrett's Case Disproves the
Sex's Innate Honesty.

Sex's Innate Honesty.
Ever since woman entered the do
main of active business, accepted and
performed the duties of trust and re-
sponsibillty, it has been urged that the
gentler sex is essentially honest. A
woman embezzler has been regarded as
an impossibility. The sex has not been
sufficient 10 protect them from the
commission of other crimes, but that
one would deliberately steal from an
employer and endeayor to conceal the
defalcation has been considered of the
things not possible to nature.
This dream of superiority in innate
the tragic fate of Miss Alice NJ. Bar
rett, the Boston bookkoeper and stenog-
rapher, showed that under the same
temptation and with the same incent-
Ives at work, there can be and Is but
little difference in humanity, whether
clad In skirts or trousers. Sad rs it is
to the sorrowing relatives, sad as it
may seem TO all who sympathize with
them in their double bereavement, the
evidence was too direct to admit of
doubt. The young woman not only took
the funds of her employers, but. fear
ing the inevitable exposure incident to
a change in the makeup of the firm,
followed in the footsteps of so many of
the same class. She ended her own
life, rather than face the consequences
of exposure.
The story Of the death and all of the
circumstances surrounding it has been
told. The fact that an effort had been
made to destroy the cash book by fire
was known within day after the fact
was known that bullet and not light
ming caused the death of the attractive
young woman.
Scarcely anyone could be surprised
at the result of the examination of the
firms books, after her mother had adj
mitted that the girl had lived on scale
that her salary could not possibly JUS
tify, and after 1t had been shown that
the girl had suffered serious losses in
wildcat speculation. A complete chain
of circumstantial evidence had been
forged. 1t shows that Alice Barrett
was extravagant in her expenditures,
that she gambled in stocks, that she
took her employers money in order to
keep up this speculation, that she set
fire to the books in order to conceal the
defalcation, and perhaps with the in
tention of destroying the building in or
der to do so, and that she finally shot
herself in order to avoid facing the dis

Thomas Jefferson saw u continuance Of
this sort, tried 1t, and wrote to General

was of gold and the ink tube Of silver
and, according to Jefferson's letter, the
maker was Richmond watch repairer,

father was inside, and he indicated the
general direction of the tombstones. l
found the digger sweating freely in a
half-tnlshed grave, and instantly offer
ed my help as a means of earning a
dinner. The graye-digger was an Irish
man. He leaned at ease upon his spade,
and soberly looked me over. and then
declined my offer. He was polite, but
not at all communicative man, and
he met my advances with the one re-
mark that his ''old woman" was not at
