"Scotty" Cites Billy the Kid as an
Example of Shrewd Deduction.
''Scotty." the alleged Death Valley
millionaire cowboy, was RECALLING a
circle of friends the other night with
anecdotes of the plains. Previously
some one had spoken of the clever
capture of two alleged sisters of char
ity who had been arrested for solicit
ing funds. Detectives who were
watching the supposed sisters as they
climbed the stairs of the elevated
road say that they wore red stockings
and high heeled shoes, and their ar
rest was made on the strength of that
discovery.
THAT reminds me of Billy the Kid,
when he was floating around the Pan
handle country said AScotty."
There was a reward out for his cap
ture and a slick detective from the
East thought to corral it. He located
Billy all right at a ranch and rode up
bold enough Billy was suspicious of
every stranger and kept sharp eye
on this chap, who let on that he was
a granger looking for a site to culti-
vate. He was waiting his chance to
lind Billy alone and get the drop on
him.

fellow and, suddenly whipping out his
gun, ordered hands UP. The detective
threw up his hands all right and
Billy took squint at the palms.
You're a -- of a granger with
them hands, says Billy. Why, they
never done days p1owin' in their
life'
"Billy's gun cracked just about then
and the detective went to trail ghosts
in some other sphere. Nothing like
observation in this world. Here, give

Tommy with Importance.
Miss Passee Uttered, 1.-The dear lit

him.
While Miss Passee was speaking
Tommy had carefully placed the clock
on the table in front of her With
mysterious gesture he laid his finger
on his lips and enjoined silence. No
one stirred.

strained expression relaxed and he

The small ball of metal in the shape
of a pine cone picked up in the Rue de
Riyoli, at Paris, France, by M. Chav-
igny few minutes after the attempt
against Alphonso XIII. and President
Loubet was made, was really one of
the famous bombs sent to France by
the anarchists of Barcelona.
M. Chavigny, happening to see this
cone, little thought he was in the pres
ence of a deadly machine. Being a
great collector of relics, he evidently
thought it was a piece of grille work
torn of by the explosion that had
just happened, and put it carefully in
his vest pocket.
M. Chavigny went to call on friend
in a tavern situated on one of the
boulevards.
He told his friend about the explo-
sion and exhibited the piece of metal
he had picked up and SO carefully
thrust into his pocket.
The head of a bolt covering the
lower aperture of the pine cone drew
the friends attention, and they start
ed to unscrew this bolt. An end of
waxed thread, holding in place glass
tube, appeared.
Then M. Chavigny realized that this
ball of metal was not the result of
the explosion, but bomb itself.
With the greatest of precautions the
head of the screw was replaced and
ten minutes later M. Chavigny placed

chard, the police commissioner of the
Gallon quarters, who Immediately in
formed M. Girard, director of the
municipal laboratory.
M. Girard unscrewed the bolt, and
by pulling the waxed thread drew
forth two small glass tubes, four CEN
timeters long, filled with concentrated
sulphuric acid.
These tubes we're plunged into a
mass of illuminate mercury, and were
maintained vertically by two small
fragments of metal
The director of the laboratory had

with the greatest of precaution, to
plunge the bomb into the water. Shell
tering himself in the Enclosure of the
porte-cochere that would shield him
in case of an explosion, the noted
chemist let the dangerous bomb slide
into the water, rendering it harmless.
1t is believed that the bomb was
laid in the grass by an anarchist who
feared arrest and did not want to be
caught with the bomb in his posses
sion.

a great boon. She is very much at

"corkaae" Not Now Needed.

There is one enduring tradition of
the hotel business in the United
States, and it's outward symbol is the
printed line on the country hotel bill
"Corkage-" At an earlier period,
when wine drinking at meals was less
common, it was the custom of hotel
patrons to bring their own wines.
AS every hotel keeper had, or was
supposed to have. wine for sale at a
profit, it was to the hotel keepers in
terest to discourage the bringing of
wine to table by guests, and therefore
the practice originated of a charge
for corkage, usually one dollar, which
was in excess of the wine at the
hotel.
The effect was to compel wine
drinkers to buy from the hotel In
these days there is little reason why
hotel patrons should bring their own
Wines" and the fact is that few do
So Though the reason for the line
''corkage" on hotel bills of fare is
passed, the line itself has not.
