There are two little boys in Germany
who honestly believe they have rid the
world of the devil They live near Hunte-
burg and are and 70 years of age. The

at home to take care Of the house. A man
with blackened face and black attire sud

devil. Where do you keep your money?"
Faith and fear alike induced them to be-
lieve the intruder. They instantly pointed
to trunk where the modest wealth of
their parents was treasured While the
murky impostor was ransacking the chest
the younger boy whispered to his brother
to go and fetch the gun and shoot the devil
dead The brother jumped at the idea,

KANSAS IN GREAT LUCK.
way Discovered For Utilizing Her Jac.
Rabbit Crop.

The Kansas jack rabbit, which from
time immemoral has been accorded The
unquestioned freedom of the prairies, with
only an occasional jack rabbit round up to
disturb his peaceful possession of the fields
hencefOrth must be ever on the alert, for a
price has been set upon his head.
Thousands upon thousands of dollars are
thrown away every winter because sports
men do not know that jack rabbit hides
are valuable. Sporting clubs and individ-
ual hunters kill many thousands Of the
1.-the limbed jacks every winter simply for
the sport of killing. Occasionally a cargo
Of the rabbits thus slain is sent to the re-
lief committees in the larger cities for
gratuitous distribution among the poor,
and many a family in the tenement dis
tricts of the great cities has sat down
thankfully to a steaming hot dinner of Jack
rabbit soup, a dish not to be scOrned by
any lover of game meats. But, despite the
inroads of hunters upon the ranks of the
Kansas jack rabbits, they have followed
the Scriptural injunction to increase and
multiply until they are SO numerous in
some counties as to be regarded as pests.
A number of dealers in hides in various
cities in Kansas at last have awakened to
the fact that jack rabbit hides, known in
commerce Jas American hare pelts, are in
great demand in the eastern markets, and
notices similar to the following are appear
ing in many papers throughout the state:
We will buy nicely handled, cased jack
rabbit skins at 3 cents each; opened or
damaged, half price; culls and pieces, 8
cents pound; cotton tails at 513 cents a
pound. Must be perfectly dry and free of
meat.
The buyers say that these are almost

at these prices may easily make 50 day,
besides having his usual sport The skins
of the jack rabbits are used for making
hats. The best quality of hats are made
from fur, and the fur has heretofore been
obtained from Australia, where the rabbits
are successfully disputing the possession of
the country with the human inhabitants.
The skins go through a shaving machine,
and the fur is shaved off very close. Il Ia

then coated with bitumen, lime and pound
ed rosin and Sthen wound from head to
foot with bandages which had been soaked
in some glutinous preparation. The ago

dences gave the scientists their clew. His
age was probably about %. The gold or

4 MILLIONAIRE MURDERER.

The prevalent idea that money will
save criminal from just punishment
receives a severe blow in the convic-
ton and death sentence of Arthur
DuestroW, the millionaire murderer of
of ST. Louis.
About two years ago DuestrOw, who
was prominent physician, returned
to his home one day from his club flu
rious with whiskey. He met his
four-year-old boy in the hall and,
holding him against the wall,
blew out his brains before the
eyes of his mother, who had just APP
{ peared on the scene. He then shot
the mother to death and tried to kill
the housemaid who attempted to save
her mistress.
DuestroW was captured soon after
his terrible murders, and being a rich
man found no difficulty in procuring
eminent counsel to take his case.
The theory of the defense was, of
course, that he was insane when he
committed the crime. That is always
the plea when no justification can be
found for bloody deed, and the more
heinOus the crime the more vigorous
ly is the insanity idea insisted upon.
The smart lawyers who were en-
ployed by Duestrow produced mass
of expert testimony to prove that
man might from habitual or even Occa-
siOnal INVESTIGATION reach a state where
he was not morally responsible for
his acts. They succeeded in befud-
ding the jury, or what is fully as
probable they got some men on the
jury who were resolved that DuestrOw
should not hang, and there was a mis-
trial.
In murder cases a mistrial removes
all prospect of conviction
except in a degree lower than the
terms of the Indictment But the
prosecuting officers pressed this case
and last fall succeeded in securing a
conviction. An appeal was made on
technical grounds to the supreme
court of Missouri-anything to save
the neck of rich man, even .if he had
slaughtered his own wife and child.
The supreme courtgrefused to inter
fere and DuestroW was sentenced to
die on the this month.
His lawyers are now attacking the
supreme court on the charge that it
did not read the record in the case and
that its opinion was written by one of
the attorneys for the prosecution.
These assertions are on their face so
unreasonable that they will probably
be disposed of without delay, and dur
ing this month Arthur Duestrow,
born to wealth and social station, edu-
Gated in the best schools, prominent in
his profession and capable of honora-
BILE and useful service to his fellow
men, will pay the supreme earthly
penalty for one of the most hideous
crimes in the calendar

show a fine stripe instead of scrolls.
White satin and lace are the best ma
terials for trimming. Ribbon velvet is
also much used, and has quaint, old
fashion air that makes it thoroughly
up to date. A charming gown is Of
pearl gray silk with fine hair-line
stripe in black. The skirt is narrow,
with what little fullness it has drawn
to the back. Yet the trimming easily
cvercomes any scant appearance about
the bottom. It introduces six flounces
of white satin, the upper one headed
with two bands of black velvet rib
bon. The bodice is bloused with mar
row basque skirts Of white satin. In
front it opens in large white satin re-
vers, to reveal a short vest of the same
material, and below crosses to the left
side, fastening with three large pearl
buttons. Wash silks will also be
