French Police Officials.
An Englishman who had obviously
been dining rather well than wisely
walked up to the police station In the
Place de rOpera In Paris the other
night and sent the officials into roars
OF laughter.
He could not speak French, SO, to
explain that his watch and money
had been stolen. he solemnly took on
his overcoat and coat and showed
that his waistcoat contained none Of
his valuables. -
The police were attracted BY this
waistcoat. which was white. and had
q border three inches deep. Exam
lining 1t. they found that he was wear
ing 1t inside out and that his watch
and chain we're in their proper places
The Englishman went cut into the
night In state OF complete mystifi-
cation. His state prevented him from
understanding how the police had
found his belongings. and he over
whelmed them with compliments they
could not understand.

lily and Himself.

fiy anu TltTIoCtIs
Enoch Sloan, well-to-do farmer OF
Shelby, Pike county, Kentucky, shot
and killed his wife, four children and
himself. The killing took place about
IL o'clock at night, but nothing was
known of it until the morning after,
when the daughter of a neigbOring
farmer called at the house to borrow
some water, the well on her fathers
place having been dry for weeks.
To the drought, which is playing
such havoc in Kentucky, the AWFUL sex
tuple tragedy is due. Sloan's farm was
cne of the few in Pike county whose
cisterns and springs had not long
been dry. Saturday night he told his
wife he was going to call on God for
the first time in his life He said he
had only enough water for the family
over Sunday. His stock had withered
and died, and the only relief he saw
was In Providence.
Dressing himself, he went to church.
In a loud voive he called upon God to
bring rain So many others made sim
liar appeals that his fervor was looked
upcn only as natural After church 1t
was onticed that he was very much
excited. He went home shortly after
10 O'clock. and nothing more was
known Of him until the next morning.
