why They Are Poor Places to Get
LOans ON Stolen Watches.
OF watches alone there are received
here and at the twenty-five branch Of
fees from a thousand to twelve hun
dred day, about 5000 In year, the
average loan on watch being 80 OF
40 francs. The official assured me that
in this great number Of watches scarce
~ one in q thousand has been stolen,
the fact being that people who have
come dishonesty by watches or other
property fight shy of the mont de piete.
The reason of this was presently made
plain as we watched the fOrmalities OF
record, and l realized how difficult II
would be for any one to do business
here under concealed identity. Every
client receiving loan greater than LIZ
francs must produce some official docu-
ment-an insurance policy, a citizens
voting card, permit to carry arms or
a rent receipt bearing his signature and
throwing light upon his station in life.
For loans under Is francs the client 10
simply required to show an envelope
through the mails to his address. All
these facts, with various others, are
duly inscribed upon huge record sheets,
so that whoever deals with the mont
de piete exposes himself to the scru-
tiny that must be ungrateful to folks
Of shady antecedents. Indeed, certain
persons make this a grievance against
the mont de piete and declare the Paris
system an impertinent intrusion upon a
clients privacy, which would seem a
point badly taken If the client is an
honest man. - Cleveland Moffett on

While Morrow was low minded. ig-
norant and brutal, he had one big quail
ity that in some measure redeemed
him In the eyes of the men who fol-
lowed the rough life of the range. He
would not desert comrade in time Of
trouble, says the Worlds Work. Down
In Ell Paso in the early part Of his ca
reer before he had become bold enough
to allow evidence of his misdeeds to
become apparent he was ostensibly
running ranch and struggling along
with the rest of the pioneer cattlemen.
A man in his employ was caught driv.
ing Off bunch of cattle from neigh
boris herd. By some mischance the
fellow fell into the hands OF a newly
elected sheriff and was not hanged. He
was duly arraigned and held under
bond Of $4,000. Morrow was present
at the time and offered to 60 on his
bond. The justice would not accept
Morrow.
Nothing but cash goes in this here
court" he said.
Morrow rode away. Five days later
he appeared, deposited the cash bond
for his friend, furnished him with a
horse, and together they headed to-
ward the south. Within an hour a
band of cattlemen picked up the trail
and followed it to Rio Grande. Mon
row had stolen an entire herd, rushed
it across to friends in Mexico and in
that manner raised the security the
court demanded for his friend. OF
course, the man never returned for
trial, and Morrow began open opera
lions shortly afterward.

him so nice before, and now my liking
for him has quite gone. He was SO
keen about trifes, insisted upon every
forfeit, questioned the score and seem
ed so annoyed when he lost, and yet
the stakes were very small, and he
was only out few dollars; so, of
course, it was not the money. 1t must
have been the disposition Of the man
coming oft under provocation, and the
test did not show him up to advantage
Now, Mr.. H.. the other man at the ta-
bic, was so good natured and such a
gentleman in his play that l quite like
him, although l never thought him at

All games of competition may be said
to assay certain characteristics, but the

playing. and bridge is responsible for
many a GOODNESS resulting from self

Quicksands have a horrible fascina-
ton for writer's and readers Of fiction,
and the reality is every bit as bad as
fancy paints it. One of the most re-
markable quicksand accidents occurred
years ago in New Zealand. Two pros
pectors were wading across the mouth
of a small stream running into the sea
in the north island of New Zealand
Both stepped into quicksand. One
who merely touched the edge of it got
loose. The other sank rapidly and, in
spite of his companions efforts, was
sucked under. When an attempt was
made to recover the body, it was found
that the sand was enormously rich in
gold. From a single ton of it 600
worth of gold was washed.-Pearson's.-

Rosa Bonheur used to say that her
youth was one of great poverty; then
she would add some droll stories about
the family method of regulating it's
finance. The studio was collection OF
odds and ends. and NJ. Bonheur knew
how to turn that disorder to account.
When he received money for his
work. he would take a handful of coin
and throw 1t at random about the room.
Then in times of stress. when there
was apparently not a farthing left in
the house. the entire family would set
to work searching in hooks and corners.
Sometimes they would find Il five franc
piece. and that warded off starvation.
To perfect herself in her study of ami
mails young Rosa spent days in slaugh.
ter house. The men were perplexed at
seeing young woman there and some
times made 1t disagreeable for her, but
good M Emile, a butcher of great
strength, announced that whosoever an
noyed her would have to reckon with
him. Then she was able to work IN

But Master Badger was resOurceful
