RUSSIAN DICK TURPIN.
Young Hishwayman Who Robbed the
Wealthy to Succor the Poor.


Solomon IL, by the grace Of God,
King Of the Jews" This was the way
in which a very remarkable prisoner
recently signed the prison record at
Kieff (Russia).
His history is curious. He was a
handsome, hard working student of the
Kieff seminary, but on finishing his
course, writes a correspondent, he i'm
mediately provided himself with re-
volver, dagger and number of forged
papers and passes, and began a career
Of robbery and brigandage, which was
marked throughout by consummate
skill and forethought.
He murdered and stole on the high
way, his victims in Kieff including a
staff captain and master of the
watch. At his richly furnished apart
ments in Kieff he dispensed laYish hos
pitality to circle of most respectable
friends, who never suspected the
source of his wealth.
His capture was brought about by
the accidental protrusion of revolver
from his coat pocket while he was bar
gaining with fur merchant The lat
ter pointed him out to a detective, and
Solomon IL" was arrested and bound
like dangerous wild beast.
At the preliminary examina ton he
confessed to long series of robberies,
the proceeds of which he appears to
have dispensed largely in succoring the
poor and the outcast. He denied any

British General Didn't Send Sword by

The discussion about Revolutionary

The Beneficial Yawn.

Yawning is not at all times an in
dication Of a feeling of laziness. More
frequently 1t Is an evidence that GER
tain muscles have been overstrained
and require rest. Medical men aver
that yawn is natures demand for
rest. Some people think they only
yawn because they are sleepy. But this
is not so. You yawn because you are
tired. You may be sleepy also, but
that is not the real cause of your
yawning. You are sleepy because you
are tired, and you yawn because you
are tired. Whenever you feel like
yawning, just yawn. Don't try to sup
press 1t because you think It Is inn
polite to yawn. Put your hand over
your mouth If you want to, but let the
yawn come. And If you are where you
can stretch at the same time you yawn
Just stretch and yawn. This is natures
way of stretching and relaxing the
muscles.--Chicago Chronicle.

OWLS AND THEIR ENEMIES.
Many Birds Pursue Them RelentlessIy
While They Are Helpless.

AS owls are incapable of supporting
the light Of day, or, at least, of then
seeing and readily avoiding their dan
GER they shut themselves up during
the day in some obscure retreat. If
they be seen out of these retreats in
the daytime they may be considered as
having lost their way, as having by
some accident been thrown into the
midst of their enemies and surrounded
with danger. In this distress they are
obliged to take shelter in the first tree
or hedge that offers till the returning
darkness once more supplies them with
better plan Of the country. But 1t too
often happens that, with all their pre-
cautions to conceal themselves, they are
spied out by other birds and are sure
to receive no mercy. The blackbird
the thrush, the jay, the hunting and
the redbreast all come In file and eml
ployi their little arts of insult and
abuse. The smallest, the feeblest and
the most contemplate of this unfor-
tunate birds enemies are then the first
to tnjure and torment him. They in
crease their cries and turbulence
around him, flap him with their wings
and are ready to show their courage to
be great, as they are sensible that their
danger is but small.

where to attack, or whence to fly, pa
eAS4AIAS oAlS elLo d1l LISlT Insults,
Astonished and dizzy, he only replies to
their mockeries by awkward and RI
diculous gestures, by turning his head
and rolling his eyes with an air of
stupidity. 1t sometimes happens that
the little birds pursue their insults
with the same imprudent zeal with
which the owl pursued his depredations
they hunt him the whole day, but
when night returns he makes his pur-
suers pay dear for their former sports;
nor is man always an unconcerned
spectator. The bird catchers have got
an art of counterfeiting the cry Of the
owl exactly, and, having before lined
the branches Of hedge, they sit unseen
and give the call. At this all the little
birds flock to the place where they
expect to find their we'll known enemy,
but instead of finding their stupid an
tagonfst they are stuck fast to the
hedge themselves. This sport must be
put into practice an hour before night
fall in order to succeed, for If 1t is put

ELECTRIC BOLTS TO
SMITE BURGLARS
Sudden Death Awaits Intruder
at the House of Giovanni
P. Morosinl.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Death by
electricity awaits the burglar who may
have the temerity to venture into tne
home of Giovanni P. Morosini, of Riv-
erside.
For several years the homes Of the
millionaires living between Epuyten
Duyyil and Riverside have been mag
net for every passing burglar. In most
of the houses are great treasures Oh
pictures, worries, curios and Jewels
Most of the houses have private watch
men, but in some electricity Is relied
on to give warning of intruders. Mr.,
Morosinfs is one of the latter. He In
stalled his own electric plant and ex-
tended wires to all parts Of the grounds
surrounding the house, among the trees
and along every path. No one had any
idea of the extent of his anti-burglar
apparatus till the police visited his
house recently.
Late Wednesday night police head
quarters rung up the Kingsbridge sta
tion and notified them to send some
one at once to the home Of Mr.. Morosini
to protect a servant. Capt. Ward and
Detective Buckridge jumped into a
sleigh and hurried to the bankers
home.
AS the sleigh passed through the gate
the grounds for one hundred feet about
suddenly burst into light. Adjacent
trees glowed with hundred dazzling
flashes. The policemen were surprised
and for an instant came to standstill.
AS they made their way through the
grounds Detective Buckridge noticed
small brass cannon stationed at various
points commanding the paths. These,
the police were told, are loaded with
small shot and adjusted so that they
can be discharged from the house by
pressing an electric button.
Nearing the house the police found
their entire way lighted automatically.
AS they moved further in the grounds
light sprung up everywhere, making
the grounds almost as brilliant as day.
In response to their ring on the bell
young Mr.. Morosini, who, with the
other members of the family, were
asleep. arose and opened the door. He
said he had not telephoned for the po-
lice.
The visit. however, gave the police
an opportunity to make a survey of the
grounds and house They learned that
all the windows on the lower floor are
connected with heavily charged electric
wires. When the family retire the
switch Is turned on and any one at
will receive a shock that is likely to
kill him.
This device for protection against
burglars is one of Mr.. Morosini's recent
additions to his home
He determined that no one shall en-
ter his house and believes that If a
man is justified under the law In shoot
ing an intruder he is also justified in
shocking him with electricity.
