planned a Kidnapping.

A dastardly scheme, the consu
nation of which would have doubt
less landed two or three desperate
young men of this city in the
penitentiary, or led to even for
fixture of their lives, came to light
on Sunday, when one of the gang,
who had been drawn unwilling
ly into a plot to kidnap a young
lady of this city and keep her in
hiding until ransomed, fearful of
his own security, and wishing to
free himself from all connection with
the plot, openly made q full con-
fession, giving the names of his
pals, the plans to be carried out,
the name of the young lady, and
the place where she was to be kept
a prisoner until a money ransom
was paid. The whole scheme was
poorly planned, and could apot
possibly have been successfully
carried out. The old story, that OF
the dime novel, comes out promi-
nently in this matter, and has
much to do with shaping a course

CATTLE STEALING.
Ingenious Rustlers n Source of Inn
mense Trouble to CattIemen of
West and Southwest.

One source of immense trouble to the
cattlemen has been the calf thief, says
Leslie's Monthly. Many large outfit"
has gone out of business on account of
the "rustler." Where COW herders have
to ride the range for so or rs miles they
are likely to be forestalled in branding
a calf by some vigilant rustler whose
little mountain ranch is near the usual
grazing place of bunch of cattle. Or
very possibly the puncher for the big
sc ranch has caught and branded
the calf with its proper mark; and when
many months later he rides on a yearling
branded BOB he has no means of know
ing that the owner OF the latter brand has
deftly touched up the &c with a running
iron by the artistic addition of two
strokes and an added letter. I may be
stated parenthetically in passing that
more than one large outfit" Of to-day
got it's start entirely from "rustled"cat-
tie. sIn the more arid southwest rustling
is not so common, because most of the
water is pumped, and cattle get in the
habit of coming home often to drink and
can be watched more closely; but even
there it is a factor of no slight import

SMALLEST s3ATE IN EUROPE.
Recently Lost rtA Identity by Being
Annexed to BeAgium-Had Only
1900 Inh2 bitants.

Few people are aware that the
smallest state in Europe HAS just
ceased to exist, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger The minute conptry
in question was neither Monaco, NOR
San Marine, nor Ando1ra, nor yet
Leichtenstein, but Motesnet-a small
scrap of territory ketween Belgium
and Prussia, not far from Aix-la-Cha-
pelle. The independence of Moresnet
dates from 1916, and it was only few
days ago that ths two neighboring
states at last arrived at any agrees
ment for it's absorption.
Moresnet has how been annexed by
Belgium, whilesPrussia receives Pc
euniary indemnity The amount OF
the latter shotlld be large. for neutral
Moresnet contained the most valuable
deposits of zine in the world. The
decision was fastened by the estab-
lishment of a gambling hell there,
which was stopped by the Belgium
government.
The inhabitants, who paid no taxes
and were free from military service,
will be the losers By their compulsory
Incorporation in the Belgian kingdom.
But as there are only 1900 of them
they could not resist the act of annex
alton. Had they, like San Marine, de-
clined the dangerous gift of casino
they might have remained neutral and
obscure.

DEVICE FOR LUNCH CARDS.
Considerable Ingenuity Displayed in
Arranging for Fashionable COun-
try House Affair i'm the East.

At a luncheon recently given at a
fashionable country house the place
cards were prettily suggestive of the
various nationalities of the young
women guests, says the Chicago
Chronicle. Each card was an oblong
of white drawing paper and painted in
water colors with bar of music from
song characteristic of the particular
country, an appropriate bit of land
scape being combined, with it. Thus
the young woman of English descent
had bar of "God Save the King" on
her card, and above, it tiny hedge
with wild roses painted at the edge of
a meadow. The German young woman
had the Watch ont the Rhine" for her
bar of music, and a miniature view of
the famous river (and one Of its ia
nous castles.
The girl who had noted French
ancestor received card having bar
of the "Marseillais>e" painted on it and
a bit of bridge over> the--seine.. : The
Scotch lassie had Here's a H3salth
to Prince Charlie" for her SONG, and
tiny figure ef highlander crossing a
moor on ,6er card. The }girl of Irish
extraction had bar of Nhe Wearing
of the Green" and border of sham
rocks. The American girls received
Columbia, the Gem of THE Ocean," and
a sketch of the Reliance at anchor as
card decoration. Several of the
girls were of New York Hnickerbocker
stock, and bar of an OLD Dutch song,
with sketch Of historical New
York locality, were clelyerly put to-
gether to make up their (cards. A bow

against the United States for them, and
that Uncle Sam will lgive them back

of the United States and Mr.. Hitchcock
do not know who nd is They claim
their attorney is from London. They
say this country wil1 never be allotted
without their consent. They pin their
faith to the old treaty Of 1867.
They say they have treaty with

Wher the butter won't

churn,'' is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion. (
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
milk of. pure sod liNerseh
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants. i,
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
