10 the Jail and as he entered he met
Mr. Felt just coming out. With the
tears streaming down his face Mr..
Potts grasDed the hand of the less for
funate father and shook it in silent
thaukfulness for the words 81 his son

an innocent boy. With choking voice
Mr. Potts assured MIR Felt that he
had no feeling toward him on az count

common wish that had they known the
true but awful state Of affairs that led
TO this tragedy. long before now, that
they might have avoided the sorrow
and suffering il had entailed upon all.
The two fathers were still talking
when young Potts came out Of the jail
and with joy iG every line % his face

that the story related by Clyde now is

planned in the same manner.
The matter that is puzzling the Off

they were taken there later by Clyde.
The lad declares that they were never
moved by him after ne hid them the
first time and he declares that the
towel was on the inside Of the bundle.
When the clothes were found the towel
was four feet from the bundle and the
officers maintain that the bundle was
disturbed by some one.

The Sultan's Jewels.

The wonders of the ARABIAN
Nights" live again in three large halls
which compose the great treasury OF
the Sultan of Turkey, says London
Answers. Priceless jewels CLEAN on
every side, rare and costly curios,
coins from all lands, and furniture
studded with precious stones.
1t is very rarely that any but royal
eyes are permitted to look upon this
magnifcence. At the entrance OF
the first hall stands throne, which
was captured from the Persians it is
nearly covered with pearls and pre-
cious stones. An enormus emerald
adorns the center of another jewel
studded throne. A dressing-table
studded all over with pearls, is among
the furniture.
In this room is also marvellous
collection of gold and silver cups,
plates and dishes, jeweled daggers
and knives, suits of armor, and cases
containing hundreds of necklaces,
brooches and rings. In the midst of
all this .plendor, ancient and modern,
are very up-to-date dressing bags,
cameras, telescopes and even case
of ;razors, all with fine silver mount
ings, but seemed rather out of place
among such regal surroundings.
Gold and silver ornaments and
bric-a-bric are some of the contents
of the second hall, including COL
lection of quaint little toys made of
precious metals and stones carefully
arranged.

The Judge declares he has broken

the show in the Club Theatre. hire
band, serve light refreshments and
throw doors wide open. The persons
directly interested no doubt will al
most fill the house. In fact, if all the
parents and children should attend
there would be about $500 to enter
tain,
There are 700 couples in Joplin

November, 1897" said Judge Nc
Adams. Like Araham, they have

hard to say within hundred just
how many persons owe allegiance to
my DEGREES.

six children. l know of several who
have five, and it has occurred to me
to give premium to the best looking
boy or girl in the lot under FIVE years
of age. I shall appoint or let the
crowd choose three judges, three pro-
nounced bachelors, and leave it to
them with privilege to the audience
to appeal from the decision of the
chair.
