A Brilliant Fraud.

A small weekly magazine was started
here II years ago by two hustling young
men. One was editor, the other writer
and paster. They clipped, extracted
and rewrote. An advertising agent was
employed ON a commission of 25 per
cent, and it was caution the way he
filed up the pages with black type and
cuts. Some contracts were made for a
month, some for three months, some
for year, The only cash in advance
was half of the commission, which was
paid as soon as the contract was turned
In.
Prosperity peeped from its pages. The
magazine rapidly grew fat. In the Sec
ond week the American News company
ordered ID, 900 copies. Money flowed
out like corn from hopper and not a
cent came in. The writer and paster
went around at the end of the month to
collect from the 80 day advertisers and
what do you suppose happened? He fail
ed to find one! Every advertisement was
a fraud. There were no such names, nc
such businesses, no such addresses as
the agent brought in for publication.
He happened to have an engagement in
New Jersey on that fateful day and
never has been seen since. Contracts
supposed to be worth SO, 1000 were moi
worth cent. The magazine died.

Corfield wired everywhere and an air.
ship dispatched in search, provided with
blankets and spoon food. But the night
passed, and still the wanderers had not
returned. Baby was obliged to go into
court the following morning without
her anxiety having been allayed. There
were number of cases to be disposed
of, and the necessity of attending to her
official duties helped to distract her
mind An amusing assault case, in
which the occupants Of balloon and a
flying machine had come to blows in the
air, even caused Baby to forget her fam
lily troubles for brief space.
The next case in the sheet was q
charge of two minors being at large
without any visible means Of support
Baby had barely glanced at the list and
| when her parents entered the dock in
the custody of two policewomen she was
completely paralyzed for the moment
with mingled establishment and conster-
| nation.
Then when she had recovered herself
dignity and etiquette were alike forgot

bench, knocked over couple of forms
full of spectators in her eagerness and
rushed into the dock
"My poor little parentsl' she cried,
clasping the frightened woman and man
alternately in her arms. 81 thought you
were lost Oh, how glad am to have
found you again.
Many of those present in court shed
tears at this touching scene. The Cor
fields were, indeed, objects of pity.
They had been out all night in the cold
and rain, having been ultimately dis
covered in a suburban ditch, into which
they had crept for shelter and then
cried themselves to sleep.
Of course Baby gave them good
scolding on account of the escapade
when she got home and dismissed the
nursery tutor. But she was very thank.
full to have got them back safely and
made up her mind that they should be
better looked after in future.
In spite of all her care, however, she
soon found herself an orphan. Papa was
choked at a parents kindergarten party
through swallowing a sweetmeat whole,
while Mrs. Corfield, few weeks later,
succumbed to sudden attack of Group.
Baby, warned by her parents fate,
resolved to remain spinster. She thus
selfishly retained her ripened faculties
for herself instead of aiding the world s
progress by allowing the law of heredity
its natural operation of instantaneously
transmitting their developed maturity
to a succeeding generation. London

In q Buddhist Nunnerx.

Sir Charles Gordon's "Recollections
of Thirty mine Years In the Army"
contains this anecdote: "In 1860, at
Tien-tsin, the two Gordons, when seek.
ing for hospital sites, came across a
Buddhist nunnery. Despite the warn
ings of one of the inmates, who appear
ed in boys clothes, they entered the
building and found that the inmates all
wore male clothing. The Buddhist
women were greatly shocked at the in
tFpsion.

were informed that the community
within adopted male costume as an in

VANITY.

The sun comes mp and the sun goes down.
And day and night are the same as one.
The year grows green, and the year grows
brown,
And what is it all, when all is doneP
Grains of somber or shining sand,
Gliding into and out of the hand.
And men go down In ships to the seas,
And hundred ships are the same as one,
And backward and forward blows the breeze,
And what is 1t all, when all is donep
A tide with never a shore in sight,
Getting steadily on to the night.
The fisher droppeth his net in the stream
And hundred streams are the same as onev
And the maiden dreameth her lovelit dream,
And what is it ali, when all is done2
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes

A professor of zoology at Lille. M
Charles Barlios, was making a tour
through Morbihan, in France AS he
was walking along the road he noticed
that q multitude of dragon flies were
alighting ON the telegraph wires. The
singular thing about it was that they
all rested,at an equal distance from each
other, and al occupied the same posi-
ton, with head turned toward the west.
From all sides the dragon flies arriv-
ed and always placed themselves in the
same position and at the same distance
from each other. They remained H., if
glued to the wire, motionless and para
lyzed. Each new arrival flew over the
fixed bodies of the others and took its
place in the line. ...
This chain stretched itself out toward
the west and turned toward the setting
sun. Professor Barrios followed the
route for long distance and found the
same strange phenomenon. He estimat-
ed the number at so. 900. at least. At
an abrupt turn of the road to the south
the telegraph line turned also. There
not dragon fly was in sightl The wire
was absolutely free from theml With
the change of direction it seemed to
have lost attraction for them.
Was this chance? Did the electric
currents running from the east to the
west exercise any influence upon these
insects? Was it the solar reflection? Ex-
plain it, who can. In any case it would
be interesting to know whether this
phenomenon be an isolated one or not.
