ing the name OF Judge G. D. Camden

checks after his death. and antedating
them to make 1t appear the transactions
were during life.

DEXTER STOLE A BICYCLE.
to Have One and COuldn't
Resist Temptation.

Frank Dexter is a young man with a
conscience which works contrary to his
desire to acquire the property of Others
in unconventional ways. Last night he
went up to Policeman Judge at Louisiana
Avenue and Ninth Street, pushing a new
bicycle, with a new lamp on it.
"A man sold me this for $3.50. he said.
II guess he must have stolen it"
Judge thought such a supposition very
likely one. as the wheel was valuable, and
he took it to the police station, Dexter
going with him. There 1t was found that
the wheel had been reported stolen early
in the day by its owner. Harry Bushby.
of No. 1871 Ninth Street northwest. who
had left it standing in front of the Con-
gressional Library building.
Judge questioned Dexter further, and
from tile unsatisfactory answers he re-
ceived concluded to place the young man
under arrest. He locked him in a CELL
and in a few minutes Dexter sent for him
and admitted stealing the wheel. He said
he had wanted one for long while. and
seeing this one, could not resist the temp
tation to take it. He wanted to return 1t,
however. and took this unusual means of
doing so.

Daudet had q lurking kindness for
sinners. He pitied them, for he could
not see how in the long run they could
succeed in anything But the self right
eous were more offensive 10 him. l
think he was right in saying that men
and women who pass for having never
sinned are unpleasant companions, and,
from the day Of Judgment standard,
perhaps the wOvst sinners of all. The
sensibility shown in Jack and other
works did not extend TO animals. Dau--
det. though a cigalier, was deaf TO the
chirp of grasshopper and cricket. Birds
have no place in his rural sketches. He
could not understand the touching
beauty Of the last friend" at the poor
mans funeral. Animals were simply
brutes to Daudet. At best they were
warnings to human beings not to live
merely to eat. sleep and leave posterity
behind them. They sometimes were
vices incarrate. Such were the fox, the
serpent, the scorpion. What a selfish,
heartless thing the ant wasl II had q
head if you will, but it was the sort Of
head that organizes labor in sooty fac
tory towns. The dog was the beastliest
beast of any. Daudet fed from every
drawing room where he saw lapdog.
