Alleged Shortage,

Mobile, Ala.-Because of circum-
stances attending an alleged shortage
in his accounts as County Tax Collec-
tor for 1899, John Case has resigned
as Chief of Police of Mobile. Case is
alleged to be short over $4,000 due the
state, and the matter has been acted
on by the governor. The books are
being examined as to the affairs of
the county. Case was bonded by a
Baltimore Bond Company and an
agent of that company is now going
through the books before answering
a probable demand of the state when
he settled at the close of his term,
and beyond that he knows nothing.

Important developments on the east
ern bank of the Manchurian army are
admitted by the war office to be pro-
ceeding. The details, however, arc
withheld for strategic reasons, the au-
thorities departing from silence only
to the extent of saying that the Rus
sian cavalry is executing movements,
leaving it to be surmised that it is
trying to cut the Japanese line of
communication and thus defeat the
flank advance.
Mail advices from Vladivostok say
that the defense around the town have
been completed and that everything
is prepared should the japanese be-
gln operations on the line Of forts and
batteries.
The surrounding forests have been
cut down in order to not obstruct the

Why Children Like Fairy Tales.

Probably the chief reason why
children are SO fond of fairy tales is
because of the seeming reality such
stories have for them. The enchant.
ed palaces, the wonderful transforma.
lions. the mysterious people and ami
mails that talk, is for the imaginative
child much nearer the real than II
is to the fantastic. OF course he adj.
mires heroism, and in these tales
such heroic deeds can be done, and
to him they do not appear as strange
as we may think they do. In fact,
the fanciful child takes the same in.
terssr in the fairy tale that the adult
does in the book of fiction. where i'm.
probable but perhaps not impossible
things happen.
