Some Facts About tho stork and Its
Nest.
In Holland the nests OF storks are
generally on the summit OF tall post,
put up on purpose for them, on which
is fixed an old cart wheel. Says an
English writer: "A Dutch gentleman
Of my acquaintance has one such post
In his grounds within sight of his
library window, but he improves on
the cart wheel by having an iron
framework for the reception OF the
nest. The first year II was put up.
toward the end of June, a solitary
young stork used to come daily and
carefully inspect this framework. I
saw him there myself one day, stand

By way OF illustration, in order to
make the description which have

fifteen or twenty punches OF grapes

figure as a lobule, and each grape on

Marie Layton is the Name of The
Theft who was Arrested at
the Dental Office OF her
Husband in the City.

New York, October 2.-Marie
Layton Johnson, aged 20 years,
the wife of Albert M. Johnson, a
dentist of Larchmont, N. Y,
with an Office in this city, was ar
rested tonight on warrant spe
cially charging her with the
grand larceny of $4,000. The
total amount of her defalcations,
however, may, it is said, amount
to $4,000.
The compliments are officers
of the United States Playing Card
Company, with home Offices in
Cincinnati, and a branch here.
Mrs. Johnson, whose maiden
name was Marie Layton, was
bookkeeper in the New York
Office, and in addition acted as
private secretary to Manager r.
H. McCutcheon. She was mar
ried to DR.. Johnson in 1901, but
did not leave her position after
the marriage. In April of this
year discrepancies are said to
have been discovered in her &C
counts, according to the state
ments given out by Inspector
McC1uskY, and an examination is
said to have revealed shortage
of $4,000.
The woman's modus operandi
is said to have been as follows:
The accounts of the concern
were kept in the Hanover nation
al bank, there being New York
and Cincinnati account there.
Cincinnati would send a bill of
goods to New York which would
be sold for $4,000 and that
amount would be placed to the
credit of the Cincinnati account.
But, it is alleged, Mrs. Josnson
would charge the New York
Office account with $4,000 taking
the difference herself. To make
the account balance she would
then raise small bill of goods
shipped from Cincinnatifrom say
SO to $1,000.
Mrs. Johnson was disc harged
from the employ of the company
in April. Further investigation
was made into both the New
York and Cincinnati accounts,
with the result, it is said, that
the defalcations now amount to
$4,000, with a possibility that
they may reach $4,000,
Mrs. johnson is a tall, slim,
pretty woman, with fair COM
plexion and brown hair.
Detectives went to Larch-
mont Thursday night to arrest
her, but found the Johnson home
locked up, and from neighbors it
was learned that all the furni-
ture had been packed apparent
ty ready for removal. The de-
tectives then watched DR.. John.
sons office on Fifth avenue, and
arrested Mrs Johnson as she was
leaving the place in her husbands
company.
1t is said that Mrs. Johnson
speculated in Wall street and
lost considerable money there.
