CHICKENS CAUSE TROUBLE
Deaf Mutea at Outs and Three Arrested for
Embe xzIement

Theee deaf mutes, Robert d. Living
ston, William and Sarah Cook, appeared
yesterday afternoon in the police court
for arraignment. having been arrested
upon an embezzlement charge preferred
by William Ward, also deaf and dumb.
All parties to the matter reside on Cen
trail avenue in the Vernon district, and
the trouble between them has arisen
over the disposal of dozen chickens, a
box of sewing machine attachments,
choppng bowl and knife, pincushion
and pair of scissors.
The property described was left by
Ward in the care of defendants, and he
claims that it was disposed of without
his knowledge or consent. Several
days ago he preferred a petty larceny
charge for the same offense, but the
complaint would not hold and the case
fell through when brought into court.
Each of the defen dants entered a plea
of not guilty, and trial was set for
Tuesday next. A special interpreter will
have to be secured to translate the evil
dence, and the hearing promises to be
both novel and interesting.

The German Tribes.

We know nothing of the German
tribes until about 100 b. Q. Suddenly
they loom up in the north, aggressive
foes of the Romans. For some time
they were held in check by the stubborn
resistance of the legions, until finally,
when the restraining hand of Rome was
withdrawn. they spread all over west
ern Europe in the fourth and fifth cen
turies of our era. Such are the we'll
known historic facts Let us see what
archaeology may add to them. The first
investigators of ancient burial grounds
in southern Germany unearthed two
distinct types of skulls.
The round headed variety was quite
| like that of the modern peasantry round
| about. The other dolichocephalic type
| was less frequent, but strongly marked
| in places. An additional feature OF
| these latter was noted at once. They
| were generally found in burial places
of a peculiar kind An easterly slopint
hill was especially preferred, on which
the skeletons lay feet toward the rlsins
sun-probably matter OF religious I'm
portance The bodies were also regu
larly disposed in long rows, side b.
side, circumstance which led Ecker e
term them Reihengraber, or row graves
Other psychologists, by study OF tn
personal effects in the graves, succeede
in identifying these people with tn
tall. blond Teutonic invaders from tn
north. Such graves are found a
through Germany as far north as Thu
ringia. They bear witness that Teutonl
blood infiltrated through the whole pol
ulation. - Professor w. q. Ripley

A PRACTICAL VIEW OF 1T.

The folks that write of fields of green where
birds and daisies rule,
III bet you, never struck them fields and
plowed a Georgy mule,
And them that write of tinkling bells in dells
where cattle roam,
III bet you, never had to drive the scamper-
ing cattle homel
And them that sing of woodlands sweet and
softly signing pines,
I'll bet you, never had to tramp through prick
ly briers and vines
And cut cord of wood or twol No matter
what they say,
The country amt as purity as it looks from
far away
Just let 'em come and try it-where people
have to rise
Before the sun has blazed way along the
chilly skies
A-a work from then until the stars look from
She darkening dome
Ia bSt you, fore the day was done they'd all
AXE tracks for homel
AMI yet they keep on Singing of country life
''Go sweet"
And leave out all the mortgages and notes we
have to meeti
We thank 'em for their compliments, for all
the words they say.
But still we amt as purity as we look from
far away

Louis XVI and Malesherbes.

Miss Anna l.. Bicknell contributes an
article ON 1.-The Last Days of Louis XVI
and Marie Antoinette," to The Cen
tury. Miss Bicknell says:
Malesherbes, in deep distress, went
to the temple. and as Clery hastily
came forward to meet him he told him
that it was all over and that the king
had been sentenced. AS Malesherbes
came into the kings presence the latter
said to him: For the last two hours
have been examining my conscience and
seeking whether during the course of
my reign | have voluntarily given my
| subjects any cause for complaint against
me. Well l can declare in all the sim
| certify of my soul, as man about to ap.
| pear before God, that have constantly
striven for the happiness of my people
and that have not INDUCED in single
wish contrary to it. '"
This was too much for Malesherbes,
who fell ON his knees, sobbing so as to
be unable to speak The king tried to
comfort him, saying that he had OK
pected what such grief announced ano
that it was better to know his fate.
The three counsel urged him to try tc
appeal to the nation. He consented re
luctantly, being convinced that it woulo
be useless. De Seze and Tronchet ther
retired but the king detained Male
sherbes, who was still overcome will
grief. my friend, do not weep, h
said, pressing his hand. 1--WE shall
meet again in better world. l an
grieved to leave such a friend as yo'
are. " The king followed him to tn
door with another "Adieu!' They me
no more, although Malesherbes cam
again and again to the prison entreat
ing for admittance, which was refuse
