"SPOTTER" USES A CAMERA. q

The railroad company has adopted a.
new scheme for detecting any dishonesty
among their employees, inc 1t Is reported
that a brakeman on a Reading freight
train is the latest victim Of the neWly-
adopted method.
For some time past the company off,
Gals have been suspicious that passen-
gers are allowed to ride on the freight
train, the fares collected by the brake-
man and 10 return made of the same.
A "spotter' was instructed to look into
the matter, and he proceeded up the road
to a certain station and arranged his
plans to entrap the guilty employees.
He disguised himself as a hobo, and,
in company with two genuine hobos, he
waited for the freight train. When it
arrived they approached one of the
brakemen and asked for a ride to
Reading. At the same time one of the
hobos handed the brakeman some money
for their fare.
In due course Of time the guilty brakes
man was given his discharge. He went
to the superintendent and inquired the
reasons for having lost his Job. He was
informed that he had taken money from
hobos for riding on his train and failed
to remit to the company. The young man
stoutly protested his innocence and wants
ed an investigation.
The "spotter" had furnished the super-
with a snapshot of the brake
man in the act of taking the money from
the hobo. The evidence was i~nd1sputable,
and the young man Immediately departed
to hunt up a new job.

THEGIRL MODELER
LINCOLN OF MEXICO MAKES A VERY PRETTY LIVING MODELLING
BEAUTIFUL AMERICANS ABROAD.

Paris, Feb. 20.-Paris IS now getting to

wants to work out her own fortune. In
Paris there are both English and Ameri-
cans. and where these are there is money.
1t used to be a long trip to Paris, now
you can arrive there in the time it takes
you to get from Washington to the Gold
en- Gate, and sometimes sooner. The
young woman who finds business "a little
slack in the states, boards a steamer and
sails for Liverpool, thence to Paris, or
maybe she goes a shorter way, by the
French line. But it is a good thing to
stop over in London and let your friends
know you are on your way to Paris.
If Americans quote London, then Lon
don quotes Paris. 1t has come to such a
pass that English women go over to Paris
to get their hair waved. going home with

cloths to keep the curl in. AS for the

a tall stand of Cairo design with a base
for the tools. AS she models she talks,
sometimes rapidly, sometimes slow, as
the expression of the subject becomes
evasive. The fair sitter opposite listens
with intent expression and the modeler
gets lust what she wants, a llfe-like
face.
Behind the sitter hangs a big, red cur
tain which forms the WarmeSt, prettiest
background for the face. An expression
will show up against red when the face
will he vacant without the friendly hue.
Upon a table near by, wrapped IN damp
sheeting. is another figure, partly mod

wonder if she, herself, will be consigned
to so unhandsOme a wrapping. Nor does
she wonder long; for the instant the sit
ting is finished the sculptor bids her pa

statue and sends her away, while an
other sitter takes her seat. 1t all goes
on so "a pidly and the sur in the broad

rather a hasty manner. The constables
received information that the poacher
was in the house. Before entering it was
agreed that King should go into the
kitchen on the left and McNiven into a
bedroom or the right. There was no
light in the dwelling, and the officers
had to feel their way in the cleaning.
McNiven entered without difficulty, but
had only reached the bed when he heard
a shot fired. He shouted to King, but
received no reply. After an unsuccessful
search of the apartment McNiven came
to the door and was told by a rural post
man who was standing on the roadside
that MacCallum had left he house
shortly after the report of the shot. In
the kitchen he found King lying on the
floor with the gun across his feet. With
the assistance of the postman he had him
removed outside. Then they discovered
that King was dead, and the hue n cry
was raised, but MacCallum had got a
good start. He had bolted minus his
boots, and later in the evening he visited
a crofter's house and procured a pair.
That was the last that was seen Of him.
1t was about 4 o'clock on Tuesday, De-
cember 20, when the ira gedy occurred,
and for the next GA hours the wretched
outlaw was abroad in the hills of Strath-
spey, skulking behind bOulders, hiding
in caves, ~shrouding himself among the
mists of the mountains. He was without
fOOU, without Snellef, WITHOUT lTlelub.
Even his dog, which at first followed
him, had deserted him. Sixty men were
at one time engaged in the man hunt.
Now and then rumorS would come in
that he had been seen, but they proved
to be ~unfounded.
Not until Friday, December %, did au-
thentic information Of his whereabouts
come to hand, and, as the fugitive was
by this time exhausted by his privations
and exertions, and was known to be un-
armed, measures were taken to secure
him. AS dawn was breaking Deputy
Chief Constable Chisholm, Sergeant Fra
ger and Constable Macbeth ran him to
earth in the neighborhood Of Nethy
bridge Upon a piece of rising ground
which bears the ominous name of the
Gallows Hill. MacCallum, who bore
traces Of the hardship which he had
undergone, was brought to Inverness and
lodged in the castle. A large crowd as

A HOPELESS LOVE.

A story of a hopeless owe that endured
through all the years of a strong mans
life and made deaths call at last almost
welcome is told of Rev. John r. Thomp-
son., chaplain of the Washington volun-
teer regiment, whose death in Manila a
short time ago caused widespread sorrow
in this state.
Chaplain Thompson came to Washing
ton many years ago and took charge of
one of the few Presbyterian churches in
the far west at Olympia. He had lived
there ever since, and when the war broke
out at once volunteered as chaplain. He
was many years over the army limit, but
influence was brought to bear on the war
department and Governor Rodgers was
allowed to appoint him. 1t is said he
sought the appointment on account of it's
dangers.
Soon after Chaplain Thompson went to
Olympia he fell in love with a beautiful
young woman of one of the most promi-
nent families of the state. His love was
Characteristic of the man. He entered into
it with his whole heart and soul. For
several years he courted her, and it
seemed that she loved him. His wooing,
however, was unsuccessful Time and
again. according to his admission to an
m friend, he asked the woman to
marry him. She always refused him
kindly and h continued to hope. Finally
she sent him away.
Neither ever marred. h is still living
in another part Of the country; and the
secret of hef many refusals. in the face
of her seeming love for the brave parson
lies with her. He finally gave his life
for his lost love, for had it not been for
that he would never have gone to Manila.

Truths About Crowns and Thrones
QUEEN VICTORIA HAS WORN HER CROWN But TWICE AND THE GER
MAN EMPEROR HAS NEVER HAD A THRONE.

1t was Napoleon who said that he re-
garded his imperial throne as a bit of
gllded cardboard and velvet but while
the French emperor was simply bullying
the senate and did not mean what he
said the monarchs of today have become
democratic enough to think just such
about these symbols of their
royalty. Today the thrones of Europe
are practically thrones in name only and
there is more than one of the rulers of the
great countries who does not know how
1t feels to wear a crown. 1t is true that
people still ak about the crowns and
the thrones as if they continued to play

MacCallum has led q most remarkable
career, and during the last ten years he
has been recognized as the most daring
and notorious poacher in the Highlands.
He was born at Loeb Ericht Al years ago,
but his boyhood was spent on the braes
of Lochaber, where his father was head
gamekeeper. From his boyhood MacCal-
lum had a stormy life, frequent conflicts
taking place between him and the men
under his fathers charge. The end was
that he was sent to the Falkland islands
as a shepherd, but he led a wild life, and
seven years ago returned and settled
down to his avocatiOn of poacher in the
wild mountains and wooded districts
known as Monadhileth.
The clever, agile and daring poacher-
outwitted the closest espionage of keep
ers and police for years. He knew every
mile of the wild district, and was the
terror of the gamekeepers around, and
latterly they permitted him to roam
pretty much unmolested. His only COM
panion was his dog, and the few people
who came in contact with him regarded
his as insane from the isolated and wild,
mountainous life he led.
There is no part of Scotland that af-
fords the poacher better opportunities for
prosecuting his calling than the noun
famous districts north of the Grampians,.
stretching from Banffshire on the east
to Fort William on the west. MacCal-
lum had studied, too. where to get the
best markets for his spoil, and many

land, are familiar with his name.

FUNNY

Philadelphia. Record: There was much
ado at a North Eighteenth street resi-
dence on Sunday night, causing hurried
visits of a policeman and two doctors to
the house,. Just as the man Of the house
and his wife had reached the front step
on the way home from church, the door
was hurriedly thrown open and out
rushed the cook, who called for "help!"
When she saw her mistress she declared
between sobs that the kitchen range had
exploded and that her cousin had been
killed. The mistress ran into the kitchen
after sending her husband for the doc
tors. and found the place covered with
ashes and a young man apparently half
dead lying in a chair in front of the
range. His head and face was apparent
~ covered with blood, but it was soon
discovered that he was still alive, as he
said he was only stunned. The house
wife imediately set to work to wash the
mans head and face and prepare him
for the. doctors, but she was moved to
merriment when she found that the sup
posed blood was only tomato juice. In
truth, the cousin was not injured at all.
The explanation was that the cook had
placed a can of tomatoes under the crate
to melt the sealing on the lid, and that
the explosion, which scattered the ashes
and tomatoes followed the expansion of
the frozen liquid in the can. When the
policeman and doctors arrived they We're
