was here this week and went on to
West Sound to ascertain the status
of the business operated there in the
company's name but in which it is
claimed that the concern has little
or no real interest in equity. The
affairs of the company appear to be
in such shape that if the West Sound
stock is held as portion of it's prop
erty the local stockholders are like
ly to have to pay dearly for their ex-
perience.

Groat boy, then confined in Jail.
AS this crime was FELONY the Justice
had NO JURISDICTION to try and de-
termine the matter, but should have
bound the boys over to appear in the su-
perior court to answer to the charge OF
burglary. If. however, he chose to dis
regard the fact that the only offense they
could properly be charged with is burg
larry, and proceeded to try them on q
lessor charge, such as petit larceny-il
they plead guilty or we're convicted OF
the charge the justice should, under the
provisions of our law. the boys being be-
tween the ages of 8 and Is, have transmitted
the papers in the case to the superior
court and placed the boys in charge OF
the sheriff to be taken before the judge OF
that court, who would determine whether
or not they should be sent to the reform

Insurance Among Criminals.

Criminal insurance" said a detec-
tive, sis the insurance that thieves
and blacklegs take on in case of ar.
rest. For instance: You are a second
story man. You make about $4,000
a year, the average second-story
mans income, and you carry an in
surance OF $1,000, for which you pay
the big premium of $125 year. Now,
II you are arrested, the insurance
company steps forward and hands
you $1,000. Thus you are able to get
the best of lawyers for your defense.
Receivers of stolen goods are u.s.
ually rich, and 1t is these men, as a
rule, who carry on the criminal in
surance business. know of GRIM
inal insurance company in Philadel-
phfa, another in New York and a
third in st. Louis. The policies run
from 500 up to $4,000 and the pre-
miums are always enormous. This
is because the danger of arrest is so
great.
Besides the criminal insurance
concerns, l know of a curious bene-
fetal organization that is conducted
among the criminals of Illinois. Each
member of the organization pays in
81 week and in case of imprison-
ment his family receives IS weekly as
long as his sentence lasts."-Louis.

Initiating a Monkey to Lure Tiger.

Initiating monkey 10 Lure Tiger.
To call tiger the proceeding was
as follows: The Mikir, having first as
certained that tiger was in the
neighborhood, would climb into a we'll
branched leafy tree situated near
where he supposed the tiger to be-.
and after hiding himself among the
branches as best he could, would COM
mence to initiate the chattering of a
monkey, and break and drop twigs in
the way that monkeys. do.
Then he would let fall to the ground
bundle of rags, weighted SO that the
thud when 1t struck the ground would
sound as If baby monkey had tum-
bled down from the tree, and at the
same time would initiate the supposed
baby monkey cries. This would be
the supreme moment, for If a tiger
were near it would often spring out,
in the hope of swapping up such a
dainty morsel as young monkey, and
then bullet from the gun of the hid
den Mikir might find its billet in the
tigers body. By this means the MiEir
was said to have killed considerable
number of tigers, and certainly the
mans power of mimicry was wonder
fully good.
The call for deer was of an en-
tirely different nature, the sound imi-
tated being the cry of fawn, and as
this cry sometimes attracted tigers,
too, it had to be adopted with eau
tion, because \ was used only in
open grass land, from which the cal
Ter would not have had much chance
to escape were tiger suddenly to
put in an appearance.-London Field.
