Employment Bureau Has to Make Good
Loss by Theft of Domestic.
One morning a few weeks ago
dentist with large and lucrative prac-
Ice in Paris, awoke to make the very
disagreeable discovery that a maid
whom he and his wife had engaged
some days before had fitted, carrying
away with her all the money and lew
elry on which she could lay her hands,
together with gold which he used for
professional purposes, and last, not
least. g0odly collection of sets of
false teeth belonging to or destined
for different patients. One of these,
indeed. is said to have been the prop
erty of a former minister of world
wide reputation, while it is even assert
ed with bated breath that a certain
tooth. which had also been annexed by
the girl. who Is evidently no respecter
of persons. had garnished the mouth
of a policeman who Is in such an ex-
alted position that he acknowledges no
superior.
Be that as 1t may, the robbery was
extremely annoying. since, besides the
loss OF the valuables, the worthy dent
ist was placed on the horns Of . d.
lemma with regard to some of his
most eminent patrons. The maid had
been secured by him and his wife at
registry office, by which she had

woman of the utmost honesty, who
had recently come up from the coun-
try, and was therefore without guile.
So her employers imagined that they
had lighted upon veritable treasure,
and great was their disappointment
and indignation when they realized
the extent of the diaster which had be-
fallen them.
Their wrath increased when the dem
tist betook himself to the prefecture
of police to report the theft and to
stimulate the energy Of the authorities.
He was shown the photograph Of the
girl, who had been wanted" for some
time. and with good reason. for, as
one official put 1t, yours is the eighth
place which she has cleaned out in
this way. and we have been looking
for her for months"

Fatal Mistake.

A new member Of Congress was very
anxious to get upon the good side of Su
perintendent Smith of the botanic gar
dens, so that some flowers and potted
plants might be sent to his home. As
every one knows, Smith Is a fine old
Scotchman, who worships the memory
of "Bobbie" Burns, and has probably
the finest and most complete collection
of editions of Burns works IN the
world.
When, therefore, the new member
went to Smith he resolved to say some
thing which would please the lover of
Burns. When he entered Smiths II.
brary he looked with interest upon the
books.
II always did love Jimmie Burns

works. l think Jimmie Burns was f,
of the greatest men who ever lived"
At this point Mr.. Smith could contain
himself no further. Jimmie Burns r.

characteristics that made her the re-
cipient OF a nations homage and love
We're lmbued into her nature. She had
servants to attend her every wish from
the time she was able to lisp com
mand. Her life was free from care;
there was nothing but laughter and
gaiety for the youthful Josephine. She
was really a queen before she could
talk, an empress in face before she
ever saw the shores OF France.
But as she advanced in years her
life became more rutfied with the
cares and disappointments Of the
world. When but 16 years OF age she
was married to the viscount de Beau
harnals in France. The marriage prov.
ed an unhappy one and the couple
were subsequently divorced.
In 1T96 she became the wife OF Ma
poleon Bonaparte and until he separat.

Louisa in 1909. she followed him In his

She'll Sing Hereafter

A charming young lady, who glories
in the possession of a wealth OF bright
auburn.colored hair, is the teacher OF
a Sunday school class. On a recent
Sabbath the rector made the announce
ment Of hymn to be sung, and, rising,
waved his hands, and the organ pealed
forth.
"Now," said he, "ready--sing."
A small and precocious youth in the
young woman's class said;
"Why don't you sing, Miss Frisbee2"
"Me? Oh, never sing" replied
the teacher, smiling her prettiest.
"But," exclaimed the boy, ''the
minister says you must. Didn't he
Just say, Now, Reddy, sing?"
Smelling salts and numerous other
restoratives had to be used to bring the
teacher out of her faint.

THE TwINE SITUATION.
Market HAS Been Advancing and Prices Are
Firm

Some idea Of the magnitude OF the
sales OF twine may be gained from the
fact that during the FIRST nine months
OF the current fiscal year, the value OF
fiber imports into the United States
was nearly t2s, 900, 100000,
Every man in tho Northwest who
has TO do with the harvesting of crops
is interested in this matter. Many
have pursued the old time policy OF
waiting for break in the prices be-
fore they buy their twine, but, for
many reasons. this year prospects are
that prices will remain practically un-
changed, and certainly not lowered,
as as the fiber for this harvest's twine
has been already purchased. Some Of
the larRes; houses have sold all the
twine they will DO able to produce for
the coming harvest, and are therefore
out OF the market. In few instances
il is known in the trade that travel
ing statesmen and manufacturers have
cut Wholesale prices in order to induce
dealers to enlarge their orders for inn
plements, etc. But this has not been 80
largely done as in former years, and
probably will not affect general prices
at all. Prices have rarely been 80 firm
10 at present; that Is to say, there has
seldom been NO little shading OF the
established prices. In past seasons at
this period, manufacturers and jobbers
complained frequently Of cutting by
competitors. Just now no complaints
OF this kind are heard
To sum up the situation there is not
in the fiber prices any warrant for re-
ducing the quotations on twine, and it
probably IL the best advice that can be
given to dealers generally to suggest
that they do not hesitate in buying all
the twine they need at the present
market price.
We note that the sales OF Standard
Twino are not nearly so heavy this year
as they formerly were. This Is only a
repetition OF all past experience, that
when an an article is gotten up to de-
ceive or in imitation OF better one, il
is only question of time when II is
found out and is forced down TO its in
trinsic value.

WIVES AND eEArlNes.

Women Discuss the Amount OF Abuse
Their Sex should Endure.
How much beating should wife
bear before she made up her mind TO
leave her husbandg" was one OF the
main subjects discussed to-day at the
women's conference OF the In-His'
Name Society In Ali Souls Church, at
Madison avenue and 66th street. In
the opinion OF Mrs. Louise Seymour
Houghton. editor of religious news.
paper. the wife should submit rather
than leave her husband TO be at the
mercy of bad influences.
Mrs. Hougton said that although
there were times In the present state
OF society when divorce seemed neces-
sary. a higher and more ideal state
would make such thing impossible.
She called attention TO the stormy do
mestlc life OF the prophet Hosea, in
order 10 show to what extent one part
ner should bear with the indiscretions
and the sins OF the other.
The sentiments produced sensation,
and there was murmur of dissent
One of those present asked II the
woman injured by an intoxicated hus-
band should remain with him. Mrs,
Houghton said that she had known
many noble wives and mothers whose
husbands had beaten them every Satur-
day night The speaker said that 1t
would be better for the family IL the
injured wife had the grace and the
strength of mind. and. above all, the
love for her husband, to hold to her
family relations.
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Grannis suggested
that such treatment of a wife on the
part of husband was degrading to the
marriage relation. Mrs. Houghton an
swered that one soul could not degrade
another without that souls consent.
She said that she had known In the
lower walks OF life Of husbands who
had beaten and ill-treated their wives,
and that. after all. they had come
around all right; whereas, IL the wives
had left their lords and masters, the
men might have gone irretrievably to
the bad.
What / wish to ask" said Mrs. Ar
thur Smith. ''is, how long should a wife
submit to beating before she leaves her
husband%
Mrs. Houghton, If l understand her
correctly" replied Mrs. Grannis. "said
there was no limit. Now, there was
John Wesley, whose wife dragged him
around the house by the hair of his
head. 1t seems to me that 1t would have
