How Tweed Was Identified In Spain

known at last that he was somewhere

.Tweed) had been identified and cap
tured at Vigo, Spain. on the charge of
kidnapping two American children"
l. This seemed q curious statement, for
whatever may have been the boss sins
he had not been given to child stealing.
Then came further news, and the mys-
terry was. explained. Tweed had been
identified and arrested at Vigo through
the cartoon "Tweedle-dee and Tilden.

printing on The dead wall they judged
to be the story of his crime. Perhaps
they could even spell out the word ire

Absurd as it all was, the identified
ton was flawless. Tweed. on board
the steamer Franklin, came back to
America to die. When his baggage
was examined it was found that he
had preserved every cartoon Mast had
drawn Of him, save the few final ones
published after his escape, n of
which had placed him again behind
prison bars. On Oct. Z Harper's re-
published this picture with the story Of

CONVERSATION "DoN'Ts."

E E ah 'F
Don't indulge in personalities. They
Invariably return worse than they
started out.
Don't mention family feuds. 1t en-
barrasses the listener, and you are sure
t., regret it.
Don't talk of the cost of things. 1t
gives the rich a chance for boastful-
ness and may be embarrassing to the
poor.
Don't tell your personal interests,
occupations, hopes or aspirations. No
body wants to hear them, and you give
your dignity a mortal stab.
Don't discuss children. If you have
any the chances are you are boring
those who have not. If you have none,
you are sure to be MORALLY wounding

Don't discuss dress. The lady whose
evening gown you are scoring may

ject is a hopeless one anyway.-Har-

scattered all over England. tic general
public is ignorant of their locality or
the romantic stories connected with
each IL There may be u possible ex-
ception in the we'll Of st. Keyne, in
Cornwall, for Southey has made it ia
nous in a witty little poem. The mag
ic Of its waters is such that the hus-
band or wife who drinks first from it
after leaving the altar will have the
upper hand over the mate for their
Joint lives. The bride of whom Southey
tells us did not wait till after the mar
rage ceremony to pay a visit to the
well, but took the precaution of taking
q bottle with her to the church.
Another we'll, in Monmouthshire,

the "virtuous WE'LL" For generations
the maidens of that locality have &C.
credited it with marvellous powers in
forecasting their futures. They have
only to drop a pebble into its water
and count the resultant bubbles, for
each. bubble represents a month OF

It is necessary to decorate the bram-

Then there are the 80 called holy
wells which have many medicinal vir-
tues. Such a one Is st. Winifred's, at
Holywell, which is accredited with
cures that are almost miraculous. The
legend of its origin is a very pretty
one It is said that twelve centuries
ago st. Winifred, the winsome daugh-
ter~ofs a Welsh chief, was wooed by
Prince Caradoc, a prince Of i'll repute.
| She declined his persistent advances,
and at last he killed her in a At of
rage. From the spot IN which St
| Winifred's lifeblood fell there gushed
forth a stream Of crystal water which
has worked miracles in her name for
so many centuries.
Practically all the ills to which the
flesh is heir can be cured by one or an
other Of these wells. st. Ninan's, in
Cornwall. is said to restore lunatics to
sanity, but the patient must be I'M
mersed in the water and held there un-
! til the breath has nearly left his body.
This seems a heroic measure. But even
| this is not so severe as the treatment
which must be endured If a mailman is
to be cured at Llandegla we'll, in
Wales, for after the victim is nearly
drowned he is trussed like a fowl and
laid under the communion table Of the
neighboring church for the night.

Korean is a difficult language to

a foreigner into great embarrassment.
It was only the smallest mistake that
led an impassioned preacher to warn
his congregation that unless they re-
pented they would be relegated to "a

and the neither world being almost
identical. In like am the story

At the annual fair in Mini Novgorod
I stepped with a Gerlnan-Ru Russian
friend into a saddlery, where he wish
ed to purchase n valise. He picked
out one for which the Tartar mer-
chant named a price that was evident
iy much In excess of its real value. MY
friend was making the usual feint un-
der such circumstances of leaving the
store when he noticed that the dealer,
with a rapid movement, stuck a paper
In the outside pocket Of his valise. Not
being a greenhorn in Russia, he knew
Immediately what the Tartar was up
to.
"But, barin," said the latter, calling
him back, come. Look at the leather
and the lining, silk all through. Please
examine it carefully" He handed the
valtse again to my friend and turned
back to his stock, apparently looking
wink my friend extracted a ten ruble
note from the outer pocket Of the va
1ise and hid it in his hand. Then he
said: Don't trouble yourself any long
en- This valise seems to be what you
say it is, and I will take It,"
The Tartar grinned broadly as he
turned around, satisfied that his little
trick had succeeded. Then while my
friend pretended to count out the 'pur-
chase price he took hold once more Of
the valtse' in order accidentally to dis
cover the bank note in it. I shall new
er forget his eyes, which bulged out OF
their sockets, OF the petrifed smile on
his face when he found his money
gone. He was 80 bewildered that he
stammered like a drunken. man. T.
'.The fellow really ought to get a les
son." my friend said to me in German,
while he kept the trickster in suspense,
for several minutes before handing
him back the bank note,f together with
the valise. which the dealer now Of
fered for less than half of what he had
demanded before.-Sigmund Kranz in
