From South America comes still stranger
news-the confirmation of the long ru-
mored discovery of a living representative
of the gigantic ground sloth. Some years
ago a collector named Ramon Lista re-
ported to DIR. Ameghino of Buenos AyreS
that he had seen and shot al a mysterious
animal in the interior of Santa Cruz. in the
southern portion of the Argentine territory.
According TO his description, the animal in
size and shape resembed a pankolin-the
scaly ant eater of the old world-but was
without scales and covered with reddish
hair. He was confident that he had hit
the creature which was proof against his
bullet, and disappeared in the thick brush
Intellectual The collector was known to be
a competent naturalist. a good observer
and trustworthy man.
Nevertheless, the tale seemed so extraor-
binary that DR.. Ameghino felt sure that
Lista had been in some way mistaken. Yet
the correctness of his observations has
now been completely indicated, for some
remains of an animal shot by Indians In
Patagonia have recently been sent to DR..
Ameghino, and these, in his opinion, put
the existence of this creature heretofore

A Weed Garden.
From the Boston Herald.

1t is remarkable how many really beau
tiful flowers are discarded because ordina-
rily they are classed weeds. A woman
who had plenty of land and taste for ex-
perimenting made a weed garden" this
year which is a great success. She doesn't
know the names of all the outcasts she has
gathered in, but she noticed last year all
the wild things that grew and Powered ne
elected by the wayside, End transplanted
those that appealed to her most strongly.
THE main reason she urges, that thew
attract so little notice when growing wild
Is that they are not massed and arranged
as we place cultivated flowers to get the
best effect Now, that is what 1 have done.

fully termed. that is too fragile to be
thought much of will make a delicate
feathery mass which will be vastly admired
when planted together by the score or
more"
Even such despised thing as the conn
mon ragweed is worthy Of admiration If
you happen to. look at 1t Alright, and It IS
finely effective as foliage for cut flowers
This weed gardener has provided for a
succession of blossoms from yiolets and
dandelions to golden rod and late fail
grasses, and nothing has repaid the garden
er's efforts with better results than these
absolutely free flowers.

DEATH OF A NOTED CROOK
Tom Meyers Escaped Jail Only to Die in the
Woods.
His Three Comrades Buried Him in n
Rude Grave Near Wauke-
gan, Ill.

CHICAGO, October 1G-Buried in th.
woods five miles north Of Waukegan, Ills,
in grave dug by comrades is the body of
Tom Meyers, a well-known confidence man
and forger, who, on the night of August 81
escaped, with three other prisoners, from
the Waukegan jail. Pete German one of
the jail breakers. who assisted in the burial
of his dead comrade, was recaptured in
this city by Officer Condell, and has told
the police the story of the forgers end.
Meyers, according to the statement of the
prisoner, died September 3, as the result of
privaton and exposure for four days in the
woods, where he and his companions had
taken refuge after their escape. With in
finite difficulty the three men followed out
place for his remains. The two men still
at liberty who broke from the Jail are Geo.
Z. Schneider and Joe POul.
Until Germans arrest no trace of the
escaped prisoners had been found. 1t WAS
generally supposed the four men had made
their way to Chicago, but instead they took
to the woods. For four days the jail-brea6-
ers remained hidden in the underbrush.
They We're without food all the time and
were exposed to inclement weather. 1t
rained the second day, and they spent that
night in their wet clothing. The following
morning Meyers, who was older than the
others, could SCARCELY speak. He complain
ed that he was Terry sick and his compan-
ions assisted hrn to walk about, but he
returned after a few minutes too weak to
continue the exercise. His comrades gave
up their coats ana with them German con-
structed a bed dfls tlret ground for Meyers.
1t had been their plans to go further that
day, but the condition of the sick man
made travel impossible for him, and the
others refused to desert him.
None of the gang had money with which
to buy food but German, impeled by the
necessity of obtaining nourishment for the
sick man, went to a farm house and begged
for some bread. That was the first mouth
full of food the fugitives had had since their
escape. Meyers told hss comrades that he
was better the next mcfning, but that night
he expired. Tom Meyers was we'll known
to the police Of almost every large city in
the country. He was about fifty years old.
