and afforded a perfect medium for a circuit once they touched the live wire.
 The supposition is that Hendricks was accompanied by confederate. He was seen the previous day in company with a strange man who had been spotted" during the day by Chief of Police Ger aid. This man is believed to have been an expert cracksman who in some way had won the confidence of Hendricks.
 Entrance was to be gained through the rear of the building, but 1t was necessary to extinguish the arc light in order to darken the office where the safe was situated. It is believed Hendricks climbed to the roof of the veranda to accomplish this difficult task. There he met his death.
 The burglars tools were suspended from the roof into an open court at the back of the building by a length of rope brought from the armory of the Mont gomery Grays. They consisted of a brace and bit, a plate used in boring the dial plate on the combinations of safes, several smaller tools and dynamite fuses. In the young mans clothing were found nitroglycerin and dynamite in sufficient quantities to have destroyed i the building. %z4,
 Except for, the blue shirt he wore the Grays uniform was not Hendricks. He had taken from lockers in the armory the hat and shoes of Hunt Taylor and l the coat of another member His own suit of citizens clothes was found later 1 in the armory. On thereof of the bank were found a comforter and a blanket, undoubtedly intendedto n1ufle the sound l of the explosion when the attempt should be made to blow open the safe. The l accident which resulted in Hendricks death extinguished thea light and also l lights in about 30 other places.
 The friends of the young man are dumfounded and cannot account for his actions. It is thought by some that he was the tool of some of the experts who came to the city with the street fair.

FOOD OF. RICH AND POOR.
Speaking of Values of Nourishment Scientist Declares People of
 Poverty Are Urderfed.

The everyday man, says the Chaca- go Tribune. on an everyday diet di- gests and uses about 96 per cent. of the material and about 91 per cent. of the energy of his food. So Prof. Atwater says to the British associa- tion. He also says the idea of the need of large amounts of meat all the way through is often greatly exag- gerated, and that muscular laborars need more food than sedentary work CTS. Mental labor differs from mus cular labor in requiring much less ma tertal and energy for its support h general. people with sedontary occupa- tions have the larger and those whose labor Is manual the smaller incomes. Thus it comes about that the we'll to do are often overfed and the poor 'underfed. In many cases the food ot the poor is inadequate for normal nourishment and must remain so un- til they have larger incomes or cheap CT food. Half the poor mans money is spent on food and 1t Is worst spent in the market. Little attention ia given to the relation between the real nutritive value of food and its cost His is the worst cooked food and the worst served food and illustrates the old writings that gro him that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath"

In passing by the kitchen with his small piece of bread in his hand Jacques Emelled the appetizing odor of the roast beef that was cooking upon the spit.
 The family was seated around the hearth waiting for the supper. Then suddenly Jacques face frightened. He embraced each in turn, and when he had finished he looked toward the roast beef that was simmering so deliciously on the fire, made a beautiful bow, and said plaintively: ~
 ''Good night, my dear roast beef!"
 At which his parents were so amused that, they forgaye his, naughtiness to let him have some of the roast beef for his supper

Place in basket five eggs that you have emptied by means of pinhole.
 In each of the five holes thus ob- tained you pass thread ofeblack silk, which you attach to the eggshells by means of sealing wax. r&
 Then fasten the five threads to@the five fingers of your right hand and am nounce that you are going to make the eggs dance.s
 Extend your hands until the threads are stretched, holding the hands as though you were endeavoring to hyp- notize the eggs, and then. on moving the fingers you can make the eggs move around as you wish.
 The person who tries this trick should be at some little, distance. from the spectators in order that the silken threads may be invisible to them.

PIGEONS IN GREAT CLOUDS
On Pacific Coast the Birds Fly in 11a- mense Hordes, Darkening
 the Sky.

Travelling in immense hordes which resemble huge black clouds sweeping over the water. millions of sea pigaona come in from the Pacific ocean, close fE the wake of mammoth schools of sar- dines. which they were intently pursus ing. Flying three or four deep and q score or more abreast, millions upon millions of the small birds were sesn AOattng over Bakers bay and the lower Columbia, forming 2 solid but ever changing mass, almost impenetrable to the human gaze. The speed at which they flew was largely matter of con lecture, but probably was not less than 50 miles an hour. One flock Of pigaoua was more than two hours passing over the bar. Thousands of the birds be- came entangled in the mesh of the fish trap leads at high tide. and the weight of their bodies Is serious menace to the gearing. At sea the pigeons can generally be found where the sardinea exist, but they come to the river every summer. Taeir usual custom Is to fol- low schools of whale which also feed upon the sardines. Waiting till the Bardines are surrounded, and the Whales are about to rush upon their victims the pigeons slip in and gorge themselves upon the fish,

DUAL LIFE. OF
 4 SOCIETY MAN. 
DEATH REVEALS HIM IN ROLE ~ .., OF BURGLAR.
KILLED WHILE RoBBINo BANK
Received Electric Shock When Cutting
 Wires in Ohice-Friends Unable s-.. fe to Account for His ftl ' Actions.

Montgomery, Ala.-Overtaken in 8 twinkling by an awful fate, which sur prised him under conditions in which he would doubtless have welcomed death rather than discovery, the body of James H. Hendricks, member of one of the oldest families in Alabama and 8 leader in the younger social set, was found on the veranda roof of the American National Bank building at daybreak one morning recently.
 Near the body, which was clothed in the uniform of the Montgomery Grays, the crack local militia company of which Hendricks was member; was com plete set of burglars tools. Directly under the limp hand which hung over the roof was pair of pliers such as are used in cutting wire.
 It was apparent that death had come upon Hendricks while he. was in the act of severing the feed wire leading to the electric arc light which illumi- mated the safe in the main office of the bank. That Hendricks should have been caught in such death-trap seems we'll nigh incomprehensible In view of the fact that he was recently graduated from the Polytechnic institute in Att lanta, where he learned much of the principles of electricity. The instant he affixed the pliers to the live wire he was electrocuted. A current of 4,500 voltage shot through his body.
 ] He was 22 years old and was a son of Mrs. D. H. Hendricks, of this city, and a nephew of Bradford Hardie, a wealthy wholesale drug dealer. His relatives are we'll to do, and no reason is known why he should be pressed for funds. He was on close social terms with officials of the bank and knew well the arrangement of the bank building.
 A policeman caught sight of a mans l body on the veranda roof at daybreak. 1 Officials could scarcely believe their eyes when they recognized the body as that of HendSicks. The only mark was on the inside of the right hand, near the thumb where the handle of the pliers had pressed. This was the point of contact where the deadly electric current had entered. The pliers were not insulated

constantly bursting forth and driving the workmen away. The two headings are about to meet, and it is anticipated that there will be trouble when this occurs, so that the work is progressing very slowly at this time.
 That the work has continued in the face of the many and great difficulties is due in a large degree to the chief engineer, Herr Hugo Von Kager, who seems to be staggered at nothing. The contract for the work has been taken by a Hamburg firm, but the engineers and other skilled assistance is gener- ally from Germany, while the mem bers of the army of laborerss are as a rule from Italy.

Says He Is Devoid of Backbone" and Yearns for Master Who Will Make Her Stand
 Around" e.....

St. Louis.-Because her husband was too good to her, so even-tempered and uniformly kind that life became ''monot- onous" and uncomfortable" Mrs. Evan der l.. Craig, a bride of three months, has left her spouse and gone back to her parental home She declares that she will never return to her husband, ana that his assertions that she is being detained by her parents against her'WiA is absurd. @sa.s9I
 Doesn't it stand to reason" said this remarkable bride, That if loved Mr. Craig no power on earth could keep me from him. Why, would as soon be dead as go back to the life led with him I thought when married him that he was a man, that he had some decision and force of character and that he would be to me the oak tree onWh1ch I might depend. I did not want man that would let me have my own way about everything and, instead of guiding, controlling and restraining me, come to me constantly for guidance and advice.
 MT. Craigtis good man, no doubt; too good for me. A woman like me needs a strong man to keep her on the right, track: but when I would say 'Evander do this, or 'Evander do that, he would obey me to the letter, and without questioning.
 ''Now, if. there is one thing a,woman ofrstrong personality detests more than another it is man that she can wrap about her little finger. It is all right before marriage for the lover to be obedient and always willing to do the woman's slightest will, but after mar riage the husband should assert him. self and if a wife doesn't please him he should tell her so. If ever did any thing that displeased my husband do not know it. He never objected to any thing. My word was law and my slight est whim, no matter how foolish, was granted. Often I expressed a desire to do some piece of folly just to see if he would forbid 1t, but he never did.
 Imagine my chagrin when I discov- cred that my husband had no backbone and no force of character. Yes, nc doubt, he loves me. He loves me toe we'll to make me good husband. 1 think it is better for us to live apart
