WANTED TO GO
To THE ASYLUM

Yesterday a woman about 50 years of
age walked into the county Jail office and
told Jailer Peter Stensa that she wanted
to go to the insane asylum. The jailer
informed her that he could not commit
her but he would take her before Judge
Smell and to him she could tell her story.
She said that she had been confined in an
asylum in British Columbia but was dis
charged as cured Since that time she
says she has had employment but could
not hold her position because people said
she was crazy.
When asked what she could do, she re-
Piled Il can not make bread or cake,
but ! can sew, wash and scrub"
The woman was out of money and the
Judge ,after much persuasion succeeded in
getting her to take small amount and
sent her away. He explained that he had
no authority to send her to an asylum.

"a GIRL FROM DIXIE"

Clean, bright comedy, tuneful must
cal numbers, capable actors and act
resses and an unusual number of pref
ty girls, are elements that go far to-
ward contributing to the success of
any musical comedy, and these are
claimed as chief characteristics of "a
Girl from Dixie" which will be seen
at the Tacoma theater on Sunday and
Monday. Harry B. Smith, who is the
author of the work, and who regards
it as one of the best works he has put
forth in some time, has been giving his
personal attention to the piece since
its premier, and the success wherever
presented is expected to be repeated
here. One of it's chief characteristics
is said to be certain unity of action
that is generally lacking in the aver
age musical comedy.

THIS CROW IS ALL RIGHT,
Calls the Hour When the Clock Strikes and Always Gets the Time
 Correctly.

George Wreal1e, of Sibley township, near here. has pet crow, Bob. which has been with him four years. and which he asserts is the most intelligent and useful bird living, says Lesueur (Minn.) correspondent of the New York Herald
 There is in the Wreake home a beautiful cuckoo clock, brought from Switzerland in pioneer days.
 After the crow had been in the. fanns' fly about two years he began to mock the cuckoo, and this finally grew to be passion with him, so that he hardly ever failed to give a melodious cav. when the clock was calling the hour. \ Some six months ago, by reason of aul accident to the shelf on which 1t wasl standing, the clock fell and the cuckoo part was completely broken, so tEa. the door never opens and the bird never comes out.

 Whats the pessage?" queried Oar rel.
 "1t's for Murgatroyd." said Has brook.
 Who is Murgatroyd, and where will find him?" asked Darrel, artfully.
 He's gambler at Sandy Bar an reckon anyone can tell where he is. Tell him Cowperthwait says Nate Dar- rel is in Anacondy and maybe intends comin' to the Bar.'
 ''1s that all?"
 ''Yes, 'ceptin' you might add that Hasbrook started with the message, but got hung up at the Half Way House"
 "I'll deliver the message" said Oar : rel.
 ''Murg Il make it right with you"
 Darrel threw up his hands deprecat- ingly and returned to the office.

 "Your fortune, senor?" she whim- pered. For four bits tell you what has happened"

 ''Uf! Then I tell you what Is to come, senor. Four bits"
 "Very well,' said he.
 She shuff1ed and shuffied and he cut the pack into three piles. Then she ran over the cards with great care and elaborate show of knowledge.
 "Marde mia! Senor 1t is malo, muy malo. Forswear the cards and keep away from Sandy Bar. That is what read Trouble awaits you at the min ing camp, ah, mucho, mucho. What see, senor, I cannot understand, but here it is: You are to die and after that you are to live"
 He laughed, but she flashed him the indignant look of a devotee of an exact science and continued.
 "The second time you live you prove your innocence of crime by fastening it upon yourself. Is 1t not strange? no sabe your fortune, senor, but there 1t is, plain to see And, look! there ia a queen of hearts; a fair voting senorita whose fate links wlIn yours"
 That will do.'
 The silver rang as he threw it down on the table and turned away. He had not taken two steps before the old woman had him by the arm.

 He pulled away from her and drew himself up.

 "Ojala!" she mumbled; you may be honest, but you cannot be honorable and follow the cards. Beware of three knaves and two red sevens, senor.'' "Why?''
 When you hold that hand you never leave the table alive!" "Gracias, senora' he said, a fine scorn lurking in the words; "the fu- i ture is riddle and a riddle you have read me. As for the jacks full on red l sevens. 1t is a good hand in any game and I shall be glad to receive it.. 1 Adios'"
 Thereupon he left the office and or- ] deyed the hostler to bring his team.

his language too precise. These evl- dences of superiority rankled under the greasy blue shirts affected by the min CTS and freighters.
 Before Darrel's entrance another had been looked at askance. This other was white-faced man In corduroys with "easterner' and "tenderfoot" written large in person and manner,
 His reserve was stretched to the point of timidity and before he had used plate, knife and fork he had sur- reptitiously wiped them on the edge of the table cloth.
 That of itself was an insult which might have resulted in gun-play had the proprietor been witness. The stranger was slender, like Darrel, had the same dark eyes and closely cropped hair and was near the same height.
 His face was smooth, however, while Darrel had neatly trimmed full beard. There was something about the stranger that held Darrel's eye.
 A man in Darrel's peculiar line is perforce a reader of character. After little study over the bacon, beans. coffee and sour dough bread, DarreI concluded that the gentleman in cor duroys had been driven west under the spur of conscience.
 Possibly his absence had left an un- profitable void in some eastern bank, or other financial institution.
 The coming of Darrel caused gen. eral attention to withdraw itself from the tenderfoot and focus upon him. Yet, although his superiority was man ifest, every man in the room knew that the second stranger was not q raw recruit in the ranks of the frontier.
 Finishing his meal under running fire of half yelled sneers and covert jests, Darrel calmly rose and went out.
 Coin south?" asked the proprietor, withdrawing his attention from Mex ican hag who, for four bits, was read ing an old deck of cards for pros pector and telling him where he would best go to strike 8 paying lead
 Darrel nodded as he settled his bill.
 "Mebby you'd like to help out a fellow human who's down on his luck?" proceeded the proprietor tenta- lively, for he was nhewlse impressed with Darrel's superiority and feared he might refuse the favor
 T shall be happy to do what I can, !" replied the young man and imme- diately went up notch in the others estimation.
 "Then come this way" said the pro- prietor, turning and making for rear room. "It aint much you'll be asked to do an yer kindness I'll be appre- ciated."
 Darrel presently found himself in a little back room where red-whiskered man lay grooming on a cot, his right arm in splints and bandages. "Got a man for ye. Hasbrook," said the proprietor cheerily; then added, facing Darrell: "Haabrook,s boss played

a great puzzle to Bob. for he watched the clock several days and seemed to be studying deeply.
 At last, however, he came to a cons clusion. and greatly startled the family by taking up the duty the cuckoo had previously performed, and counting out the hours perfectly, at the exact moment, with a clear call of 'caw" for every hour the clock ought to havo struck, one for one o'clock, five for fivs o'clock and so on around the circle. He has kept his word up to the present time. and calls every hour when he can see the face of the clock as regularly and perfectly as an ordinary timepiece with its hammer and bell.
 If lamp be lighted and pin bd thrust into the wooden face of the clock, so that the minute hand wilt pass over it, but the hour hand win catch on 1t and stop the clock at any hour of the morning, between four and seven o'clock. Bob will notice it as soon as the clock stops, and raise a shrill cnwinS and keep it up till some one gets up and removes the pin.

 Second-.The fact that a covert at tack has ever been preferred by Lester Murgatroyd to meeting in the open.
 Third-The fact that the bullets in Lester Murgatroyd's revolver have been marked with the letter I'M. "-Note: The letter "M'' might be mistaken for ''W' and technicalities have more than once saved Murgatroyd.
