His Pocket Picked

John Stevens, of this place, visiting
his brother, Rev. William Stevens,
pastor of Baltimore NJ. f. Church,
South, went to Annapolis last Satur-
day with the General Conference ex-
cursionists. While the two we've go
ing through the cadet quarters of the
Naval Academy in a crowd, says the
Baltimore Sup-
someone iostled John Stevens, causing
him to turn quickly. He detected a pick
pocket in the act of removing from his hip
pocket pocketbook containing between $40
and $50 which the thief held in his hand.
Mr. Stevens says he caught him by the wrist
and he dropped the pocketbook and fled, as
did confederate. They were pursued by the
preacher and his brother. The thief was
stopped at the academy gate by sentry
and placed in the guardhouse. United
States Deputy Marshal Stinchcomb took
charge of the prisoners, but as the prescott
ing witnesses were not known to the deputy,
having returned to Baltimore on the steamer
Louise, the accused was sent out of the city
by the first train. lie was about % years old
and of slender build. He wore Derby hat
and spring overCoat. He passed his half
hours stay at the guardhouSe rolling cigar
cites and nervously consulting his watch.

4 IIraIcInal Act.

a cripple tricycle., costing $50, was
shipped this week to Sandy Smith by
the Fay Manufacturing company,
Elyria. Ohio, for George II. Miller, of
this place. The tricycle. is gift to
Miller by the Fire Department and
Order of Red Men, of this place, each
sharing half the cost after the com
pany donated 20 per rent. Miller, it
will be remembered, incurred over a
year ago spinal injury from fall of
coal in Ocean mine which lost to him
the use of his lower limbs. Hence a
gift, which is an expression Of charity
in its best sense. Wednesday even
ing members of the two organizations
presented it to him and were rewarded
by an appreciation of their thought
fulness which the beneficiary could not
adequately eXpiess. After his own
affective hurt Mr. Miller lost the ser
vices of the only son old enough to
help the family. The lad, on his way
to work, fell under car and had leg
cut off, making two cripples in a com
palatlvely Young family.

If "Another Stakeholder" has the
courage of his innuendo he can easily
find out whether the JOURNAL has ever
gotten anything from the gas company
that has not been earned in the reg
ular business way. If he can find Il

it is proper to say the JOURNAL has
shown no partialty to the gas com
pany in its contention for fair play.
Both the gas and electric corporations
are town institutions, and it is i'm
proper, not to say indecent for the town
authorities to discriminate against
either.

take, however, in not giving it to the
JOURNAL as an accompaniment for
an English penny, found on same

The Forum impeaches the integrity
of Messrs. B. 7. Schofield, Gershon

in its charge that they gave the Jour
NAL a job at 500 over the amount of a
competing bid.
The facts are
l, The JOURNAL was asked for an
estimate.
=, The manuscript was very
voluminous pile, written irregularly.
3, There seemed to be good reason
to believe it would make in print at
least 100 pages, which, reckoued at
$l.S5 per page for $50 paper-covered
and 80 leather-eovered copies, made
the estimate $3.50.
t, 1t made, however, 81 pages, and
the JOURNAL charged accordingly.
That is to say, it could have gotten
$3.50, but it charged and was paid
$l55.40.
5, Not only so-in going over the
work the JOURNAL found that the
index, prepared by the compiler, was
very inadequate. The JOURNAL went
to work and compiled neso and COM
plete index, for uhich it charged nothing ,
6, Lastly, until the Forum mentioned
the fact, the JOURNAL never knew that
Mr.. Zimmerly had offered the com
mittee bid. Its own figures were
given the committee as an estimate, and
when the bill was given to Mr.. An
thony that gentleman expressed great
qualification at the fact that the work
amounted to 5000 less than antci-
pated.
Later-The JOURNAL submitted the
foregoing paper to Mr.. Anthony, who
obtained the JOURNALS estimate, and
he authorizes the statement that at Is
correct," and to add the further infor-
nation that "Mr. Zimmerly's estimate
did not include any leather-bound
copies
Herein is difference of $27. Add
$40 60 and the sum is $500.
And thus the 500 overbid dwindles
to -. 10 at the most.

In the first place, the great paper
cannot well enough hear the preach

In the second, il hears too well the
miserable church music in vogue.
Indeed, it is not music, certainly
not anything like devotional music.
"Coronation," "Boylston," Rocking
ham, and "Old Hundred" are worth
more than all the so-called gospel
hymns that have been constructed
since Hold the Fort" was con.
ceived. There was some vitality in
devotion until the churches began to

Bats md where TO Find Them.

Frogs are most plentiful on the
shores of ponds aud streams filled with
plant growth and in low moist places
in meadows. In searching for them in
grass wait till you see one jump, then
catch it in your hands, They are not so
easily got from the shores as they
are apt to take to the water at the first
alarm.
Crabs are usually found under stones
along the shores of a stream or pond,
and in some localities in low moist
places iii grass lands. Seize the crab
back of the pinchers and it cannot nip
you.
Dobsons are only found under messy
stones in swift running waters. They
are of a dark gray color, have many
legs, and when fully grown are about
three inches long. The head is shield
shaped and armed with good stout pin
GERS, so handle the dobson as you would
q crab The best way to get supply OF
dobsons is to have some one hold one
edge of q fine meshed net on the bot
tom of the stream, while you turn over
the stones above the net with a hoe.
The dobsons, loosing their hold ON the
bottom, will be carried by the current
into the net. Put frogs, crabs and dob
sons into pail with plenty of grass and
some water. If you are to keep them for
some time, change the water occasion
ally.
Grubs are excellent bait for trout ear
ly in the season. They are found in par
TALLY decayed tree trunks, stumps and
old timbers left in moist places. Cut
into the wood with an AK, and if you
find it full of holes of the size Of lead
pencil knock it to pieces and pick out
the grubs Put them in a tin bait box
with some of the rotten wood you found
them in --Harper's Round Table.

A Curious Lion story.

When lions were still numerous and
easily observed in southern Africa, they
were sometimes seen instructing one an
other in voluntary gymnastics and prao-
ticing their leaps. making bush play
the part of the absent game. Moffat
tells the story of lion, which had
missed zebra by miscalculating the
distance, repeating the jump several
times for his own instruction. Two of
his comrades coming upon him while he
was engaged i'm the exercise, he led
them around the rock TO show them how
matters stood and then, returning to
the starting point, completed the lesson
by making a final leap The animals
kept roaring during the whole OF the
curious scene, talking together, as
the native who watched them said By
the aid of individual training Of this
kind industrial animals become apter
as they grow older; old birds, for in.
stance, constructing more artistic nests
than young ones, and little mammals
like mice becoming more adroit with
age Yet, however ancient in the life of
the species these acquisitions may be,
they have not the solidity of primordial
instincts and are lost rapidly If not
used. M. g. Letourneau in Popular
