Can Not Paw DAMAGES.

Racine.-Miss Jessie Mcpherson,
the fair plaintiff in the breach of
promise suit against Walter Wood, the
young manufacturer, will never re-
ceive a dollar for her lacerated heart.
A jury gave Miss Mcpherson $4,000
damages, but this was considered ex-
cessive and Judge Belden cut it down
to $1,70O and it was believed that
Wood would pay the sum. Great sur
prise prevailed when the young man
filed a petition in bankruptcy, showing
that he practically had no assets.
Young Wood was before Charles H.
Lee, referee in bankruptcy, and devel-
opments indicate that Wood had moth
ing and consequently Miss Mcpherson
receives no money.

to Judge Neelen, of this city. Sunday
afternoon at Blue Mound cemetery,
just outside the city, was marked by
occurrences almost akin to riots be-
cause Guitano Vitroni was selling
peanuts there. Several funerals were
being held at the time. Mourners

did not know on what charge to arrest

the charge finally lodged against the

Policeman barney flyuu was Oh TS-
serve duty when the captain sent for
him. The policeman sighed, knocked
the ashes from his pipe into cuspi-
dor, put the pipe away and laboriously
rose from his chair.
'Some FELIX'S been maxim throuble

a sha-ame that he sh'u'd be SO lackin'
in sinse as to shpoil po-lisman's

He found well-dressed, prosperous
looking man closeted with the cap
cain, and the latter lost no time in ex-
planning the nature of the business in
hand.
FLYNN" he said, "this is Mr.. Bax-
ter, whose confidential clerk default
ed few weeks ago, and has been in
hiding ever since the shortage was
discovered. You remember the case,
Of course. Well, Mr.. Baxter has just
received reliable information that the
man secretly returned to his home
last night, and is there now. Here's
a warrant for his arrest, and | don't
want you to come back without him.
Mr.. Baxter will go with you to identi-
fy him."
Policeman Flynn took the warrant
and turned to Mr.. Baxter.
"A despicable crime" commented
the latter, bitterly. "He had been
with me for years, and l always had
been his friend. l trusted him i'm
plicitly"

but without any enthusiasm. Then,
as he picked up pair of handouts.
he added otis best to take tn
bracelets along, f'r they ma-ay be
handy.
A carriage was waiting, and as
Flynn and Mr.. Baxter rolled along
the latter voiced his indignation.
''You can't trust anybody these
days" he asserted. "The young men
are utterly unreliable. They all want
to live beyond their means, and in
order to do it they naturally have to
use another mans money. It's the
age of high living and consequent de-
falcations."
"Mebbe it's So" assented Policeman
Flynn, "but there do be la-ads I've
thought was honest"
Honest when there's nothing they
can steal" grumbled Mr.. Baxter.
''Why, 1 taught this young fellow all
that he knows about business-I gave
him his training-and you'd think
THAT gratitude alone would make him
faithful to me-"
"Sure we w'u'd," admitted Police
man Flynn. "'Tis a fine thing, is
gratichude, whin we don't ha-ave FIR

Mr. Bakers indignation did not
permit him to note the sentiment un-

Certainly. He's had as much as
$4,000 or $4,000 in cash in his keep
