Diamond thieves can no longer hope
TO keep from being caught with the
goods" by swallowing the diamonds
they have stolen. Paul Clarkson re-
Gently stole a diamond in New York,
and took steamer for Texas. At Gal
weston he was arrested on suspicion
and lodged in Jail. He denied all
knowledge of the missing diamond
and the most thorough search failed to
disclose it on his person. Then an
X-ray apparatus was brought into req
uision and the diamond. of consider
able size, was discovered in the mans
stomach, whereupon he acknowledged
that he had swallowed it and that it
was giving him pain. The owner of
the diamond offered to pay a surgeon
to cut it out, and Clarkson agreed on
condition that prosecution be with
drawn. Under those conditions the
surgeon made the incision and soon re-
moved the stone. Clarkson will get
we'll. but in all probability he has
swallowed his last diamond.

''Shod with steel. Missed along the pol

He was skater of skill in his man
hood. "A girt skater; moan better in
these parts was the testimony of a
Dales man, quoted by Canon Rawnsley
in his Lake Country Sketches"
On one occasion the poet went by
himself to figure bit upon the White
Moss Tarn, and man sent a boy to
sweep the snow from the ice for him.
When the boy returned from his labor
the man asked:
well, did Mr.. Wudsworth gle We

Nay" rejoined the boy with a grin
of content from ear to ear. Il seed him

But the lad who had thought the
tumble a fair equivalent for a tip, had
been much impressed by the quiet way
in which Wordsworth had borne his
fall. His skate caught in stone when
he was in full swing, and he came down
with a crash.

the boy, "but he just sot up an said,

WESTERN CANADA HAS AN
EXCELLENT CLIMATE.
The Saskatchewan Valley Very High
ly Favored.

An interesting feature of Western
Canada is its climate. Those wbo
have made study of it speak bighlv
OF IL. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas and
at the same time giving valuable in
formation concerning railway rates.
ETC., to those interested in the country.
AS has been said, the climate is excel
lent. The elevation of this part of
Canada is about 1900 feet above the
sea, about twice that of the average for
Minnesota. 1t is a very desirable alti-
tude. The country has very equabe
climate, taking the seasons through.
The winters are bright and the sum-
mers are pleasantly warm. r. f. Stu
part, director of the meteorological
service for Canada, says:
The salient features of the climate
"of the Canadian northwest territories
are clear, bracing atmosphere dur
ing the greater part of the year, and
"a medium rainfall and snowfall The
mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg is &c, and Prince Albert 62. The
former temperature is higher than at
"any part of England, and the latter
us very similar to that found in many
parts of the southern countries"
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is 76 and the mini
mum 4S. Owing to this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine, the crops
come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley, being about Is inches an
nually. 1t is notable that about 70 per
cent. Of the moisture falls during the
crop months. Thus, Western Canada
gets as much moisture when it is need
ed and with several hours more sun
shine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, it is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly, sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March
Harvest comes in August. about the
middle. Cyclones, billiards., dust and
sand storms are unknown.

CHAPTER XIII.

HOW THE POLICE DISCOVERED A
HAREM IN THE HEART OF EN-
GLAND.
1t was windy day, and as Number
Two spoke we distinctly heard the
gate at the end of the garden blow to
with bang.
who's that, wonder?" said the
chief. Il latched the gate myself just
now very carefully. Some one must
have opened it,"
He rose as he spoke, and crossing to
the side that faced the garden, put
his eye to one of the many spy-holes
that he and lubbock had made.
Then he turned to us in alarm.
4. Il don't like the look of this, boys"
he said. There's a man coming up
the path who looks and walks uncom-
monty like plain-clothes policeman.
And what makes the thing all the more
fishy is that there's another hiding be-
hind the hedge outside, as if on guard
All! there's the knock"
Sure enough an authoritative rat
at-tat-tat-tat-tat" told us that some
one was making free with the knocker
on the door below.
What had we better do, lubbock ?"
asked the chief, looking anXiously at
his factotum.
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1904-03-31

Let them knock, think" was the
answer. They'll think there's no one
at home. And even il they effect an
entry and search the house, they'll
never find us here"
Perhaps you're right" replied Num-
Der Two, more nervously than was his
wont, as the visitor below began to
ring the changes with a series Of
sounding single blows that reminded
one of a blacksmith playing his ham
mer upon an anvil.
He's playing Rule Britannia on IL
now," said Number Six, with an uneasy
laugh. Il suppose you don't know any
thing about this caller, Mr.. Hall? You
were nightly sure about our being
safe here, and about the police think
ing you to be a respectable resident,
and nothing's happened since to change
their opinion. | can't think it of you,
that you'd play us false
Halls reply was to take a revolver
from his pocket, and to offer it, butt
forward, to the speaker. 1T is load
ed in the six chambers" he said
Keep it. and if | give you cause by
as much as a finger stir to suspect that
I'm in league with the police, blow my
brains out where | stand"
Il ask your pardon for fearing for
the moment that you'd rounded on
your pals" said the fellow, not with
cut dignity. ''and I'm quite satisfied
Keep your shooting irons, Mr.. Hall.
You may have need of them, and I've
got brace of my own in my pocket if
they're wanted"
The knocking ceased, and was re-
placed Ia low whistle. At a signal
from Number Two, lubbock crossed
to the spy-hole and looked out
Il thought So" he said. The man
outside the gate is coming up the

have got to know, they don't know

the worse for them. We're five to
