Stories of Jewels of Fabulous Worth
Hint to Clever Thieves

q Hint to Clever Thieves.
Boston Herald: I wonder if the
Claude Duvals of the present day read
the society columns of the great metro
politans newspapers If they keep an
eye on the doings of the rich and giddy
butterflies disporting therein, and if
they read the glowing descriptions of
the jewels, the profusion of their dia
monds, the reckless displays of for
tunes on the persons of timid, fragile
women in the great wilderness of our
social life? 1t makes surprising read
ing, even for those who do not envy
these danes their baubles, but what,
then. must it seem to a class whose
profession" is to take what isn't
his'n?"
When Miss Trains Social Highway
man" was published it-was thought the
owners of costly jewels would learn a
lesson, and at the same time some
bold robber might act upon the idea.
which the writer so cleverly put into
the public mind But fortunately moth
ing came of this story beyond the en-
tertainment it gave to the reader, and
the opportunity of making a rather
pleasing dramatization of it for the
Hollands. Burglars and thieves con-
tinued TO abstract diamonds. it is true,
but the romantic highwayman did not
materialize. But night after night New
York ladies exhibit fortunes at the
opera, and if by chance Claude Duval
is in the audience. he must be ready to
tear his hair, knowing he can no more
seize the gems than the moon itself;
but if he has any imagination, his tor
ture is certainly augmented a thousand
fold.
After the performance. the Mrs.
Bradley Martins and the Mrs. Astors
of New York's diamond world are en-
cased in voluminous wraps, and the
glTTtering necklaces and tiaras are
quickly shrouded from the vulgar gaze
while their owners step into equip
ages. that dash them to balls and
dances TO wind up the night. To a lay
mind, absolutely diamondless, the SEN
sation of bearing so many thousand
dollars worth of jewels through cold
unsympathetic streets is highly dis
pleasing. One shudders even in the
midst of fanciedn security. What if a
detective does ride as footman on the
box seat? What if the gallant escorts
do sit opposite2 Who knows what "ac-
cident'' might not displace them. as in
Miss Trains story, and the world be
treated to a "hold-up'' worthy of the
dashing eighteenth century bandit?

The Shrinking Bride.

Washington Evening Star: Wash
ington is the Mecca for brides and
grooms. One of the last couples who
spent the first days of their honeymoon
in the capital city left yesterday The
bride was very large and the groom
was correspondingly small At the
first meal the groom confided in the
elevator boy and told him that his WIFE
was of very shrinking disposition, so
he would please have the clerk send
meals to the room. This was done. The
groom approached the clerk during the
afternoon and told him that his wife
was of a shrinking nature and did not
like to go out the public way, and
asked him if there was not a private
exit through which they could go TO
take a carriage drive around the city
The bell was rung quite frequently
during their stay and the bride with
the shrinking nature became subject
of great curiosity to the help. When
they left the porter caught sight OF her
and stood in open-mouthed astonish-
ment The clerk angrily asked him
what he meant by staring at guest
Couldn't help it, nohow, boss. L jess
he'd to look at that shrinkin' pusson.
I'd jess like to know how long she's
been shinlxin'' and what she 'peared
like befo' she shrunk."

about 500 TO 400 feet above the sea. It
is a dreary waste of sand, but the
Waikiki and Pituri tribes have shed tons
of blood through the ages defending
this odd cline and its precious plant
from the hordes of invading blacks who
have hunted it out, and surged down
upon them to conquer this country.
Years of fighting and constant training
made the myall of the sand climes
invincible to his ancient foe and a ter
ror to the slow entertainments of our
civilization. The writer has lived and
fought with these people; he has slept,
many times the restful pituri sleep,
and feels that he does his race a serv-
ice m divulging this medicinal secret
of his own tribe. This strange plant
cannot be transplanted. All efforts to
do so have failed.

Il
The pituri is the strangest narcotic
plant known to man. Strictly speaking,
science knows very little about it. 1t
knows nothing of its uses. Some one
writing in the Lancet a few years ago,
stated that the herb was a dangerous
and poisonous one. which should not be
allowed to be used except under the
strictest medical supervision. While in

ward, L disclosed this medical state
ment to a chief who spoke broken En-
glish, and asked his opinion.
MANY bury FOOL was the stolid re-
ply. There is much in this answer, for,
how can medical science regulate the
beneficial use of a plant which it does
not understand itself? In its natural
green state, the pituri is dangerous
poison. After it has been properly
roasted and treated by the Australian
tribesmen, it is not only perfectly
harmless as a poison. but the most
soothing and beneficial auxiliary in its
branch of medical practice.
Pituri, after treatment by the ma
tives, gives perfect sleep. Its influence
softly steals away the senses until the
whole nervous system is is naturally at
rest. After the period of its influence
on the system IS over the SOOLned
senses bound back to new life. There
are no after pains or aches, and, best
of ali. no craving for the influence of
the drug. Pituri is thus perfect anti
dote to insomnia and an absolute cure
for neuralgia. The writer is a chief in
an adjacent tribe, and is speaking from
his own knowledge of the plant and
it's effect upon himself, as well as that
upon the warriors. Its sleep is perfect
and natural, and its waking that of the
invigorating morning air in the bracing
mountains. For this plant, the wild
tribesmen viii sell their souls 1t is
known and used everywhere among
them, though very few outside tribes
know whence it comes to them. That
secret is left to the tribes about the
Georgina.

Carlyle: If man spends lavishly on
his library, you call him mad-a biblio-
maniac. But you never call one a
horse maniac, though men ruin them
selves every day by their horses, and
you do not hear of people running
themselves by the books. Or, to go
lower still, how much do you think the
contents of the bookshelves of the
United Kingdom, public or private,
would fetch, as compared with the con-
tents of its wine cellars? What po-
sition would its expenditure on litera-
ture take as compared with its ex-

AN EXCITING CHASE
Detective Frank Benedict Goes After
a Mad Dog

A hard luck story is told on Detective
Frank Benedict. Yesterday morning a
telephone message was received at the
police station that mad dog was run
ming loose in the neighborhood of Twen-
ty-ninth street and Grand avenue and
terrorizing the residents, and asking that
an officer be sent down to shoot it. Ben
edict was at once dispatched to the
scene, mounted on his bicycle and pro-
When ne arrived ne 'Iou11d a Dig uog
as stated, running to and fro and froth-
ing at the mouth in a manner indicat-
ing that he was really afflicted with
hydrophobia. He would growl and rise
upon his hind legs and go through ali
kinds Of peculiar antics.
On the way Benedict had received re-
inforcements. consisting of two men
who lived in the neighborhood. All three
started in to lay out the dog. The ca
lime insisted on staying inside vacant
lot surrounded by houses. There was
only one spot where he could be shot
without danger Of shooting into one ,of
these dwellings, and that was where
an opening was made by narrow alley.
Time after time the men followed the
dog from one end of the lot to the other
without getting a shot at him. Finally
they hoped to drive him out by chasing
him from one end to the other on their
bicycles, and for two hours Benedict
raced after the brute. He was at last
tired out, and stopped to rest for a few
minutes. While he was taking his
breathing spell the dog darted out and
got into a cornfield and was lost.

The Rhizobius

The work of the black Australian la
dybrds" is so important that we VIII
offer no apology for the frequent men
ton of it in the columns of The Herald.
We recently called attention to its being
found in Alhambra. We now hear OF 1t
at Whittier. where it is reported as doing
excellent service, and even as far as
Covina, where it is reported to have ap-
peared in force. Il is a matter for sim
cere congratulation that it is so soon be-
coming acclimated. There has been sur
prise expressed that it should appear
at Covina, as it is incorrectly stated
that none have been introduced nearer
than the Chapman orchard The writer
introduced a colony in each of two or
three orchards very near Covina in the
autumn of 1894. Those introduced so
long ago may be, very likely are, the
ance stors of those which today are doing
good service. We have hoped and eX-
pected with some confidence that these
little friends would show up, if given
time. in the more inland regions, where
they were so abundantly introduced.
There is much reason TO hope that the
Rhzobius ventralis may be close Sec
ond to the Novius (Vedalia) cardinals
as Il defense against evil in our citrus
orchards.
