Negro Woman Ransacked Rev
w. w. Armstrong; Home.
All the stolen Property Recovered
by Detectives Moore and
Baker.
EXCEPT A FINE GOLD WATCH

Leander Donald. negro woman
living on Burnett street between
10th and 18th, was arrested yester-
day afternoon by Detectives Baker
and Moore on a charge of burglariz-
ing the home of Rev. w. w. Arm
strong, 1912 Trimble street, several
weeks ago. while the family was
kept away.
The only person about the house
at the time of the robbery was a
relative who slept there, and the
theft was committed during his alb
sence, the house being completely
ransacked at the leisure of the thief
or thieves. and shsG&fg and other
property valued at about $500 Ia
ken.
Yesterday ,ssssFs ticIe of the
clothing was recovered together
with all the other property missed
except small gold watch. Some
of the goods was found at the ne
gro woman's house and the rest
was found in a small frame house
below Third and Madison streets,
near the river bank
The detectives ferreted out the
mystery simply by vigilance. They
knew that sooner or later some of
the clothing stolen from the preach
er's residence would be worn.
They kept in mind description
of each piece, and Monday night
were rewarded by seeing some of the
stolen property at colored Labor
day celebration, and by yesterday
afternoon had the thief spotted, and
went to her house and began Sweat
ing the inmates.
The Donald woman in the mean
time slipped into another room and
began to pile the stolen clothing
from a trunk out a window, and af-
ter she thought she had put it all
out she went outside and pushed 1t
under the house.
The detectives, however, found a
few articles left, and Mrs. Arm
strong was called and identified
them. the Armstrong home being
only a short distance from the ne
gro's house, The woman then adj
mitted that there was a box of the
goods at the house near Third and
Madison, and the officers went after
them. Later a negro girl who had
seen the clothing being thrown out
the window told the officers and they
found the remainder of the missing
goods.
The woman was locked up for
aouseDreak.ng, and Will doubtless
get a term in the penitentiary. She
evidently knew the Armstrong fam
lily had left the city. and took ad-
vantage of their absence to get
what she wanted.
The case against the Donald wo-
man was called this morning In DO
lice court and turned over to the
grand jury.

The fact that there was so little
of the poison probably saved their
lives.
DR. Williamson and brother, Mr..

Mr. and Mrs. Paxton and child

three hours before they became seri-

Paxton, who was herself feeling the
effects of the poison. telephoned

While absent saucer with -four

there when she returned yesterday.
II looked all right TO her. and not
knowing that II contained deadly
poison, she economically emptied II
into the -four out of which she was
making pastry dough. and in that
way II was made into the pie eaten
an dinner.
IL was very fortunate for all of
the members of the three families
tha; so little of the poison had been
mixed with the -four. The quantity
that found its way into the pie was
distributed in such a way that each
person got but very small amount

sticks of tobacco brown woOd-lay on

and began to chew it's end.

I'm those parts they cut the licorice
plants regularly, and they use the poor,

The Jap Baby.

How do you suppose the babies i'll
Japan take an airing? In baby car
riages. you say? Of course not. The
Japanese never do anything the way
we do it. When the baby's about three
days old it goes out for its first glimpse
of the world strapped on somebody's
back, and that's the way it goes every
day till it can go on it's own feet.
Sometimes it's mother or it's nurse
takes it. but very often it rides on the
back Of Il brother or sister, who is per-
haps not more than four or five years
old. These little nurses don't seem to
be troubled at all by their charges, as
you would suppose. They play ball
and tag and run races and fly kites in
spite of the heavy loads on their backs
What is more remarkable, the babies
are perfectly happy and hardly ever
cry, though when their young nurses
run with them the poor babies faces
bang back and forth against their care
takers shoulders till an American baby
would howl with pain and rage.-Ber-
tina Runkle in ST. Nicholas.

The Original Fruit Gamers.

We are indebted to Pompeii for the
great industry of canned fruit. Years
ago. when the excavations were just
beginning, a party of Cincinnatians
found in what had been the pantry of
a house many jars of preserved figs.
One was opened, and they were found
to be fresh and good. Investigation
showed that the figs had been put into
jars in a heated state, an aperture left
for the steam to escape and then sealed
with wax. The hint was taken, and
the next year fruit canning was in
PRODUCED into the United States, the
process being identical with that In
vogue at Pompeii twenty centuries ago.

Slavery In America.

One Of the common, everyday er-

America Is that which relates to the
introduction into the western hemi-
sphere of African slavery" writes a
critic, 1.-THE school histories which the
schoolgirl and schOolboy study say that
it dates from 1919 or 1920 when Il
Dutch seq captain sold the English
settlers the first African. The year
1901, however, is the date of the earli-
est reference in American history to ne.
groes coming from Spain to America.
122 years before Albany, n. Y, was
settled by the Dutch and 100 years be-
fore Jamestown. Va, was settled by
the English. In 1905 King Ferdinand
