The most conspicuous young woman down
town this week is Miss o. X. Petticoats,

noon. The show window is arranged as a

woman. After displaying all her skirts she
presents card of invitation to the crowd
to step inside and examine her line of
goods. And. although Ii is not required of
her. she goes to the sales counter and helps
In selling the goods The exhibition is very
successful In drawing crowds. Some are
prospective buyers, and some of them would
have no use for skirts If they did. 1t is
the uniqueness of the idea which attracts
men, women and children. Mile. Andressne
and Messrs. Van Brook and Fleming who
are accompanying her, have been on the
road for some time. Mile. Andressne Is the

from John j. Cofer, of the Union stock
yards, was arrested yesterday morning in
Chicago. Haynes acted as bookkeeper for
Cofer. He left the city three months ago.
The matter was reported to the police at
the time and a quiet search was made for
Haynes. He was traced to Greencastle. but
he escaped from dining room in hotel
when he learned that the detectives were
after him. The next heard of him was in
Ohio. He left for Chicago and remained
there until the arrest yesterday. The
amount of his alleged embezzlement is not
known. The grand jury recently returned
an indictment against Haynes.
Detective Hauser last night returned
from Chicago with Haynes. The latter
came into this State willingly. On his ar

fact that he had done wrong. He admitted
that there were discrepancies In his books

loser. Haynes said he thought the total
amount of the defalcation would be 500.
He would not assign any reason for taking
the money

examination the doctor found that
the two tiny wounds were angry ani
pulple and he instituted drastic treat

bitten
Sir Joseph Fayer and Prof Russell
permitted five-foot sea snake to bite
bird. 1t died in four minutes. a
second lird, bitten by the same snake,
Immediately afterwards, died in ten
minutes. Another snake killed bird
within seven minutes Then they
teascd sea snake until it bit soft

scratch the bitten spot Sixteen min
utes after that it was paralyzed com

forty-ciX minutes. cree snake died
in thirty minutes after being bitten,
and a toadfsh was killed within ten
minutes.
The sea snake lives entirely in the
open ocean. lney do not even ascend
rivers. Their favorite hunting grounas
are the wide and deep arms of sea
that separate the islands of the Chin
Indian and South Pacific seas. They
do not often haunt the shores, but re-
main at some distance from land.
They can hardly move on dry land and
after wriggling around bit and biting
savagely and blindly in all directions
they lie still until they perish.
Their range is great. They are
found throughout the Indian and Pa
cific oceans from the Cape OF Good
Hope and Madagascar to the western
shore of Panama. and from New Zea-
land to Japan. in the Bay of Bengal
and the seas around the Nlcobars, Mo-
lucca, Timor and New Guinea.
In all these places it is an unwrtten
law tnat a sea snake must be killed
whenever possible. But as the fisher
men usually go out in extremely mar
row and cranky craft they are more
| frequently glad to escape alive them
selves when they happen to find lot
OF serpents in their nets instead of
| fish. The creatures have been known
to surround fishing boats that attacked
them and to kill every man in them.
When they are enraged they appear to
have no fear of anything. The fisher
men say that in such circumstances
