STOLE THE WRONG BAG.
SAD Ending to the Romance OF .
Young Eskimo who Loved HIS
Eaemy's Daughter.

The duke of the Abruzzi has brought
back with him from his polar exPedi-
tiop a number Of Eskimo stories re-
ports the New York Tribune.
One of these concerns a young Eski-
mo who loved the daughter Of an enc
nv. The two huts of these persons
were close together, but one night the
terrific cold ripped a great crevasse in
the ice, and the young mans house was
left isolated.
A gorge 100 feet deep and 20 feet
wide separated it from the iglOO, or
hut. containing the girl, but there was
a narrow bridge of ice left across the
crevasse, and this, the young man
found, would bear his weight.
Eskimos sleep in bags. The lover de-
rided that he would that night cross
the ice bridge, steal the maiden he
loved bear her to his hut, and then
break down the bridge, 50 that he and
she together might enjoy their honey
moon unmolested.
He planned very successfully. He
erept, in the dead of night, into his
enemy's hut; he snatched up the
maiden in her sack without awaking
anyone; he bore her over the ice bridge
safely, and then he opened the sack to
embrace his bride. But, behOlding its
contents, he gave a loud cry. 1t was
not the maiden, but her father that he
had stolen.

PLANT WITH DEADLY DOOR.
sumatra and Java Have Vegetable
Products That Dissemin-
ate Death.

There are criminals among plants as
well as among animals and human be-
lngs. Those that have the most sinister
reputation are known as death plants,
which are found only in the volcanic
districts of Java and Sumatra, says
Nature. The plants appearance quite
bellies its name, for il Is really very at
traetive, being a low growing shrub
with long thorny stems covered with
beautiful broad leaves. The upper sur
face of these leaves is a vivid emerald,
while the lower surface is a brilliant
scarlet. The flowers are great whfte
bell-shaPed blossoms, which exhaIe a
sweet and deadly perfume.
The death plant grows in the most
fertile spots, but all about It the
ground becomes barren Of vegetation
and neither bird nor beast may come
within a wide radius Of It. They know
better, but rash man, with no warning
instinct TO guide him, will occasionally
linger too long IN its vicinity, enchant-
ed by its delicious and heavy fragrance,
until he experiences the distressing ef-
fects of his fmprudenee-a binding
headache, which, IL he stiu remains,

Lawyer who Defended = Hard Case

Him on the Road.

Almost any lawyer will undertake
the defense Of a prisoner accused OF
crime and will use his best endeavors
to secure his acquittal. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborn, of New York,
tells of a North Carolina attorney who
was practicing in a backwoods noun
tain district.
While he was waiting for his case to
be reached the trial Of a notorious high
way robber who had been caught red
handed was called. The prisoner had
no counsel and the presiding judge re-
quested the distinguished lawyer to de-
fend him. The trial lasted two days
and to the courts astonishment the
jury returned a verdict of acquittal. As
the prisoner was about to be dis
charged the lawyer stepped up to the
judge and requested a few words in
private.

lawyer, "to have the prisoner detained
