NO FLIES ON HIM.
a Kansas Mans Trick to Get Back
to His Home.

TO x211 00mes
A seedy and hungry looking German
entered the Sheriff's Office yesterday,
and shutting up to the railing he ad-
dressed Under-s Sheriff Reese:
Say, vas you der Zheriff?"
Yes" replied Reese, seeing there was
something little queer about the vis-
ator, What can I do for you?"
Veil. mebbe you don'd know me
my name is Yacob Germeshausen. Say,
hHf You a warrant for me, ain'd id?"
No., replied Reese, II don't think we
nave any warrant for YOU
We'll, say, want to gif myselluf up,
or vat you call him-don'd you can lock
me up? I'm bat man."
Have you committed some crime?"
he was asked.
'Yas, pack in Kansas. Der boleese
offussers pack dere dey want me. For
doc years dey've peen chasin' me, and
now I want dem to dake me-.
why are you wanted in Kansas
what did you do there?"
Vel, 1 dell you," and the visitor
(who is not built like General Shafter)
bent over the railing and said, in
sort of confidential way: II vas a
morigtch on a savunty dollar mowin'
mashin for forty dollars und run away.
Und now dey want me pack in Kansas.
l s'pose you gan sent me ofer dere
init der railroat-vad?"
But what became of the moving
machine?" asked Reese. did you
take that with you?'
Take dot ting NIT me? You didn'd
xo1x 1o%3
dot NIT der morgitch man. I get a
1edder from a trent und he say dey
want me, und my gonshuns droobles me
all der dime, so I Ike ter go pack ter
Kansas und pc bunshed. Anyhow, I
want to get locked up in chail."
The Under Sheriff reflected a moment,
md then, in half-whisper, he said:
Say, my friend, this is too easy. We
don't like to make arrests this way as
there are people who would give us
the laugh. We can get you back to
Kansas all right, if you borrowed forty
dollars on a seventy-dollar machine
and skipped the country, as you say,
but we can't allow you to give your
eelf up so easily.
Now I'll tell you what to do. You
cash out of the office into the street
and run as fast as you can. I'll call
two or three deputies and they'll take
after you and fire a few shots, and
then you can throw up your hands and
surrender. Well say that you are a
Kansas desperate who is wanted back
there for murder, and that we had
just discovered you
.'Vad! let dree or four men shood at
me like dot! mine Got, man! You don'd
want me ter get killet? No, No!
don'd like dot vayh Say, won't yer put
me in der chail? I vas awful hunkry." :"
Rese told the mad man from Kansas
that he couldn't help him out unless
he would do as had been suggested,
except that he might go into hiding
for the night and then give the Sheriff
a chance to put his sleuths on his trail
and run him down in the morning.
They had to make some sort of show
ing, for the Kansas authorities would
not send for him unless they thought
they were getting some real criminal .
We'll, dot goes" said the visitor but
say, mine vrent, gif me der money ter
bay fer a ped"
Reese staked the old man and he
went away firmly believing that he had
paved the way for free transportation
back to bleeding Kansas.

SOLDIERS GET DOUBLE PAY.
Federal Government Does Not De-
duct Pay Received From States.

duct ray Received 1xom states.
Governor Gage yesterday received q
telegram from Adjutant General Corbin
wherein he overruled his decision of
September 3Oth, relative to the pay due
soldiers who served in the Federal
army, after having been State militia
men, His first decision authorized the
Withholding of pay for periods when
he drew a salary from the State say
ing: This is in order to prevent a
double payment to the soldier, which
the law does not contemplate.
ION more mature deliberation," says
the Adjutant General, Il am of the
opinion that I was wrong in such hold
ing. No deductions should be made
by the pay department from the pay
that would be due a soldier under the
Act of July Z. 1898, on account of the
payment that may have been made
under the State militia law from the
date of his enrolment or joining for
duty to the date of his acceptance into
the volunteer army of the United
States.
ssThe States make this payment to
him as a State soldier, and because
Congress has seen fit to reimburse the
States for these payments is no suffi-
cient reason for the Government by in
direction to take away from the soldier
what had been paid to him by State,
and no sufficient reason why the law
of July Z, 1898, should be- evaded.
Hence 1 hold that no deduction
should be made in a soldiers pay ON
account of any payments made to him
by the Governor of a State or State
authorities as a militiaman before his
acceptance into the volunteer army OF
the United States"

Sidewalk Of Iron Rust.

People passing the North End park
last week were no doubt surprised to
see a young woman on her hands and
knees, in the midst Of a gang of work.
men, engaged in building sidewalk
Miss Winnie M. Robinson, hailing
from Oxford county Maine, who was
doing the work, is a pioneer woman
contractor in this country. She is
about 26 years of age. She has invent
ed a new kind of sidewalk, but as she
does not wish any one to take her
word for it unsupported, she obtained
permit from the city of Boston to
build a section and allow time and
use prove its worth.
The sidewalk presents much the
same appearance as does asphalt, as
far as its smoothness is concerned, but
its color is a reddish hue. Those who
have seen it say it looks like iron rust,
and such 1t really is, for it is a side
walk made of iron rust.
1t remained for the inventive skill of
woman to utilize preoxide of iron
flllngs,so that when mixed with chem
icals and solutions, a mixture is form
ed much the same as mortar, and when
spread out and allowed to harden it
forms a solid mass.
Two or three years ago, while at
work in a mine operated by her father
in Nova Scotia, her trained eye as an
expert mineralologist noticed that
what was once ore had formed itself
into a mass with quantity of gravel.
Miss Robinson Immediately saw there
were excellent possibilities by combin-
ing the ore and gravel. She accord
ingly made experiments to determine
just how such firm substance was
formed, and, as a result, she formed
the combination of materials which is
to be seen at the North End park
Boston Herald.
