road Car.
The 100000 champion trotter Cres-
ceus was guardian the other day of a
bag of diamonds worth $4,000 all
through the prank of George H.
Ketcham's $4,000 dog, named Cresceus
after the horse. When Mr. Ketcham
woke up in his berth he reached I'M
der his pillow for the bag of diamonds
he had placed there on retiring. He
found no diamonds. After a frantic
search he hurried Tim Thurman to re-
port the loss to the police. Tim,
followed by the dog. went back to the
car in which Cresceus was stabbed.
Immediately the dog began burrow-
ing in the straw of the stall, and pres
emily came up with the missing bag
in his mouth.
1.-The dog took charge of those dia-
monds while l took charge of bur

must have taken them from my bed.

a great bre akfast was served, at which
all the attaches of the legation were
present and met the membe of Mrs.
Wu's suite.
Two enormous vanloads of luggage
followed the party to the legation.
Queer-looliing trunks and boxes made
of bamboo were piled high, while there
were many bundles wrapped in cane,
splints and bagging.
When Miss WI and the members of
her mothers suite are introduced
formally to society it is expected that
the affair will even exceed the magnifi-
cent functions usually given at the
legation. This is the first time in the
history of the Chinese legation that
young Chinese women of high caste
have been brought to this country for
the purpose of entering society.
Nine. WI is already well and favor
ably known in social circles, and her
daughter and the members of her suite
are certain of most cordial reception.
The young women will experience no
difficulty, as, in addition to Chinese,
they, like a majority of the members
of the diplomatic corps, speak French.
Miss WI and the two young women
of the suite are exceedingly small in
stature. but are as fair as many eau
casian bellies. All wore their hair
brushed straight back. Next to auto

CASHED HER TRUCK PATCH.
Widow SuIIivan's Good Fortune in
the Possession of Piece
of Oil Land.

In the early days of Beaumont's
history as an oil city columns of
stories were sent out in which this
person or that one had come into pos
session of fortune in a day or night.
Some of these stories were without
foundation, but, on the other hand,
many of them were true, for this was
a boom in which the home people and
the original owners of +he land
profited immensely, says a Beaumont
CTex.) correspondent of the st.
Louis Republic. In some eases it was
poor colored family owning a little
patch of ground within two or three
miles of the magic Spindletop
Heights that sold out to some pros
pector who had come to get in on
the ground floor" or a white family
trying to wrest a precarious living
from the ground by means of truck
patch" suddenly become the owner of
comfortable bank account through
the sale of its garden as "oil land"
OF all those who profited by the oil
strike, the widow Sullivan, as she
is commonly known, was one of the
most fortunate.
For several years residents of Beau
mont have been familiar with, the
pathetic figure of a woman, poorly
clad and seemingly half fed. who
drove a wagon drawn by scrawny
team through the streets, going
from house to house. In the wagon
she had three or four barrels, and
into these barrels she poured the
Stops gathered from the various
kitchens she visited. When she had
thus accumulated a load she would
drive her rickety vehicle to her little
farm, about three miles south of the
city, where she would feed the con-
tents OF her barrels to number of
hogs that she kept. In this way, toll
ing through sun and rain, through
heat and cold, Widow" Sullivan has
managed for several years to earn
enough to satisfy her few wants,
though hers was life of the hardest
and meanest kind of labor, with no
vacations or cessation from toll. Her
story was sad one, but no one ever
heard her complain. Her husband
died several years ago. She donned
black calico dress, and the next day
after the funeral she had taken up
the task which she has since pursued
so faithfully.
Widow Sullivan's little piece of
land was nearly two miles from the
gusher, but people thought that oil
was to be found all around the big
gusher, and the widow soon had an
offer for her land that would have
turned the head of most women in
her circumstances. But she refused
all offers until the wild rush after
land had reached its height. She
parted with her little truck patch"
and the same day she walked into one
of the banks and deposited $4,000 to
her credit.
The next day the "Widow" Sullivan
was seen seated on her ricketv wag-
on, making her old round of the
