Charles Fleury of Grand Isle some
months ago broke into the Methodist
church and stole all the utensils OF an
oyster supper. He invited his friends to
a big oyster supper the next evening.
But the things taken from the church
were missed. Fleury was suspected and
arrested and subsequently brought into
county court. He pleaded guilty to in
formation filed against him and was
fined 5000. The Information read: That
Charles Fleury not having the fear of
God before him, but being moved and in
stigated by the devil, did feloniously and
burglariously break and enter said
church, and stole, took and carried away
tberefrom, diverse pieces of crockery
ware, kettles, salt and pepper shakes,
knives, forks and napkins and the largest
part OF a key of oysters, together with
crackers and a hall bottle of tomato
sauce.

MOTHERS GOLD.

1t Has = valae Higher Than That
Which Comes from Alaska.
The scene was in a Ninth street barber
shop and the time was a morning earlier
in the week. The "tonsorial artist
nearest the door had just called out
"Next!" when there entered . very
pretty young woman leading by the
hand a four-year-old boy, with long.
golden finglets. He was manly look
ing little fellow. and his hair was just
the shade of the young woman's, al
though she looked almost too young to
be his mother.
"Are you the man who cut this little
boys bangs last time7" ahe asked.
"Yes'm; want 'em cut agains"
mo, not this time. I want his hair
cut short all over. And won't you try
to cut each curl OF separately, for !
want to send some of them out Of town
and one to his grandmother"
She had pasteboard box In her hand
in which to take away the gold that was
more precious to her than any that has
come from the Klondike. She said she
wanted the little boys hair cut. Itwas
probably the lads father who wanted
it; she had only acquiesced.
Several 81 the ebony -hued artists
gathered around to watch, while the lad
took his seat in a big chair, as proud az
Punch, for he was to be mothers
little Lordy Fauntleroy" no longer. He
smiled. but there was a suspicious tre-
NOR about his mothers lips as she took
n brush, and for the last time curled
his beautiful ringlets about her slim
and tapering finger.
Snip! Snip! went the scissors. and
one by one the curls were carefully laid
away in the box. Before the last one
was gone the young mother was hud-
died up in the bootblack's chair crying
as If her heart would break. There was
no doubt now that she was the cliild's
mother. He was a baby no longer. 1t
was much more comfortable for the
child, and 1t was time it was done, and
all that, but Just the same he would
never be mammals little baby again.
and she could not see the wealth Of fall
ing gold for the tears in her eyes.
Not man in the place smiled, and
even the "Shine, mister?' seemed to see
q bit of pathos in the scene. The barber
over in the corner had to stop moment
while the man he was shaving wiped .
sudden tear from his own eye. The
man, gray-haired and somewhat crusty,
was thinking of lock of gold tucked
away in the back of his desk in . busy
downtown office, and his memory had
zone back to the time when he tucked
that strand beneath his blue soldiers
blouse and with musket ON his shoulder
had started for the front.
