Deposited His Stolen Money

About the strangest case that ever came to my notice," remarked the sheriff of Madison County, Indiana, to the Louisville Courier-J Journal, twas that of a young man who stole $2,S00 and planted it with the purpose of sim ply laying up in prison and coming out that much to the good. This fellow took the money from a grocery in broad daylight, and was arrested few hours later without resistance. At le trial he pleaded guilty, declined to accept the services of a lawyer, also refused to tell where he had hid the money, and was sentenced to imprisonment for four years.
 "As 1 was taking him down to the train he asked me if I would go with him to a certain street. He requested it as favor and did so. Arriving at a shady spot of a. somewhat unfre- quented street he stopped down and pulled up loose brick in the pave ment, under which was the $2,SO0 in paper money, just as it had come out of the bank.
 "tWhat are you going to do with thatT I asked, my first thought being that he intended to return it to the man from whom he had stolen it. Of course I had no authority in the matter, for the reason that the money was his own and sentence had been passed upon him. Well, sir, that fellow insisted on my going to the bank with him, and there he deposited the $2,SO0, where 1t remains to this day, drawing interest and waiting his pleasure when he shall have served sentence and be free to enjoy the profits of his prison term. Such cases are not uncommon"

Generous Diet for the Tropics.

Experience shows" says Maj. G. w. Ruthers. of the Commissary Depart ment "that the American soldier Serv- ing fn these islands needs the full army ration. including the full allowance of fresh beef; his health cannot be main tained without it. In addition, his ap- petite apparently craves sweets and acids.'' In this connection he men, tions the demand for sauerkraut. Without abundance of nutritious food, he says, the health of an American can not be maintained in the Luzon eli mate. The health of FilipinoS living on American foods. he says, Is much better than those living on native foods.

THE TRAINED NURSE
An Occupation Which At
 tracts Many Refined Girls.

Many girls of education ana renne- ment are turning to the profession or trained nurse as means of liveli- hood. It is a serious occupation and a responsible one, for the word of all experienced nurse carries great weight in matters relating to her profession. It is this fact that prompted an in- teresting interview with Miss Kath- ryn Nash of North and Plattsburg avenues, Burlington, Vt, published in the News of that city. To reporter she said:
 q had been caring for a patient steadily for nine months without rest and was run down and tired. l had very litle appetite and sometimes would skip one or two meals and not feel it at all. While visiting in Bos- ton, an abscess formed back of my ear. I had no strength and, although I was always drowsy, sleep did not seem to refresh me. After I came home I had seven abscesses on my back, near the waist line, and was unable to sit up much for three or four months. The doctors who treat ed me said I had blood-poisOning from which I would never recover.
 That must have been very discour- aging,'' said. the reporter.
 "It was. It took all the ambition out of me for a while. But one day when I was feeling particularly de spondent, a friend advised me to try pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo, pie. She was taking them with bene' fit and thought they might also helI me. I bought some at once and be- fore I had used one box of the pills found I was gaining strength. My appetite and digestion improved ano I felt rested after sleeping, instead Qi being tired as I was formerly. l sooI became entirely we'll and able to re sume my duties''
 "Then you believe the Pink Pills cured you?"
 "I am certain they did and intend ! to keep Dr. Williams Pink Pills fol Pale People by me all the time, SC ! that I can take them if needed. l recommend them to my patients al we'll as to everyone who is suffering from any complaint brought on bl Arrangement of the blood or nerves.

SOME STAGE FORTUNES.
Leading Actors Are Amuent Unles

Leading Actors Are Af1uent Unless
 They Are Spendthrifts.
 The actor richest in -4is direct earn ings is Joseph Jefferson, says Every body's Magazine2.s He has drawn very large audiences during more than forty years, the plays he presents cost him nothing in royalties to their authors, his companies are moderate in the pay roll. he divides with no partner and his share of the gross receipts leaves no large portion to the theater in which he appears. LOtta Crabtree is much wealthier than he, but through the in- crease of the capital with which she re- tired from the stage years ago. So is Sol Smith Russell, who has invested his savings fortunately. William Crane is another who has turned some of his income into accumulation Denman Thompson would be as we'll off as Rus sell or Crane if he had not lost con- siderable part of the heavy profits of his tours.
 An actor who made a great deal and then sunk it is Neil Burgess. The same thing is true of Edward Harr!gan. The Irish comedians, Andrew Mack and Chauncey OlcOtt, may be put down at $20,000 each for the season, their man. agers making as much more. Peter F. Daley is whereabouts. The same fig ures will do for those German mimics, Louis Mann and the Roger brothers, Weber. and Fields, two more of the German dialect actors, have joint for tune of $400,OOO, made by attention to the business side of their efforts.
 To get back into the irreproachably legitimate field there are many stars of good degree-such as Helena Mod jeska, James O'Neil, Henry Miller, Sa- rah Cowell Le Moyne, James k. Hack cit, Louis James, Kathryn Kidder and Robert Mantell-whom the managers do not regard as "moneymakers." Yet they clear $10,OOO apiece annually on the average. That isn't so bad for calling once despised and ill-paid. There are dozen to twenty actors and ac- tresses getting the equal of that in salary with resident or travelling com panies, with no uncertainty about it, but there's the distinction of starring to take into account.

METHODS OF SUICIDE.
How Desperate Persons Adopt Pre-
 vaiIing Styles of Destruction.

HOW desperate feESOnS AOOpI EEG~
 vailing Styles of Destruction.
 'gThe remarkable methods several sui cides have adopted in this city recently call attention to the fact that methods of self destruction are largely matters of suggestion" said doctor. 'When a man gets in that condition where he wants to die, he has little inventive ability and adopts the method that has been brought to his mind. You will no- tice that after one person kills himself with acid there follows long list of acid suicides. It is the same with any unusual method. One person gets up an original way, and that inspires the next one to try his hand until we have a whole series of such grewsome nov cities.
 "I have proved this theory. Several years ago I was discussing this feature of suicide with several friends, includ- ing the coroner. They ridiculed my theory. I offered to prove it. 1t hap pened that shooting and hanging were popular just then. 1 wrote an article for a newspaper on the horrors Of strangulation and pistol wounds and explained the ease with which one could kill himself with prussic acid. Death from prussic acid, you know, Is absolutely instantaneous and, many be- lieve. painless. There had not been suicide with this acid for more than year but within a week after the arti cle was published there were four, and one of the unfOrtunates had clippings of my article in his pocket.
 "Of course I was accused of killing these four by suggestion, but l was never arrested and do not feel guilty, for when once person has decided to kill himself the method is slight mat ter. No person in his right mind will commit suicide We all know in our sane moments of easy ways to end life, but when in the suicidal frame of mind nature seems to rob us of our reason in this direction, as if in desperate hope of nrpypDtfnp the sacrifice"

 The largest woodworking plant in the State of California has been erected by the unions of San Francisco, and is now turning out material as fast as 2,- GOO union carpenters can place it on the buildings in two cities.

The legal ex- penses in connection with the several cases were $2,000. t
 The position of affairs in this country from trade union point of view is not by any means. bright or satisfactory at present, writes Pete Curren. the British labor leader. Of course, our respective organizations are maintain l ing their numerical strength, and many of them which are affiliated with the General Federation of Trade Unions are increasing in numbers, but on the oth- CT hand, the general state of trade is causing considerable amount of anx- i iety.

Parasites Cause All Hair Troubles.

Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp and hair are caused by parasite germs. The importance of this dis covery by Professor Unna of the Char ity Hospital, Hamburg. Germany, can not be oYerestimated. It explains why ordinary hair preparations, even of the most expensive charac- ter fail to cure dandruff; because they do not. and they cannot kill the dan druff germ. The only hair prepara- ton in the world that positively des- tross the dandruff parasites that bur row up the scalp into scales called seurf or dandruff. is Newbro's HerDl- eide. In addition to it's destroying the dandruff germ Herpicide is also a delightful hair dressing, making me hair glossy and soft as silk.

Irring,a Intensity.

The piercing eyes and intense ex- pression of Henry Irving once had the effect of making a fellow actor alto gether forget that he was on the stage at all. It occurred in Manchester dur ing a performance of Macbeth" and in the scene where Macbeth says to one of the murderers, '"There's blood upon thy facer' Irving put so much earnest ness into his words that the murderer forgot his proper answer C''Tis Ban uuo's, then'') and replied in a startled voice: "Is there?

A Chinese Joke.

There was man in Ch'ang-an who was very fond of giving dinners, but the food given was atrocious. One day a guest threw himself on his knees in front of this gentleman and said, Am I not friend of yours?
 You are, indeed" replied his host.
 "Then I must ask of you a favor" !" said the guest, "and you must grant it before rise from my knees"
 Well, what Is it?' inquired his host in astonishment.
 "Never to invite me to dinner any more,'' cried the guest. at which the whole party burst into loud roar or lauChter.-Nnrth China Herald.

An Extrayagant Custom.

In the Austrian court it is contrary to custom for perishable articles to appear twice on the imperial table. The result is large perquisites for the attendants. To one man fall all uncOrked bottles; to another the wine left in the glasses; to another the joints, and to another still the game or the sweets. Every morning a sort of market is held in the basement of the palace, where the Vien- nese come to purchase the remains.
