DESERVED HIS FATE.-Miss Marie
Shedlock is famous for the invention
OF a new and delightful type of chill
dren's entertainment. Dressed as a
fairy, Miss Shedlock recounts to chill
dren with delicacy and power the
lovely tales of Hans Anderson.
She keeps her wits about her In
her entertainments, and children, no
matter how old their questions may
be, can never stump her. She Is al
ways ready with an apt reply.
Entertaining a ohildren's party at
certain mElI6nzfre.s house in New
York, Miss Shedlock happened to en-
ploy the old proverb, "The early bird
catches the werm.t.>
A little boy qnesuoned the provere
But wasn't the worm foolish" he
asked, ito get up early and be
caught?"
MY dear" said Miss ShedlocK,

He was just getting home"

DOG TALEs.-"I have an unusually
intelligent dog" said the man who
likes to spin yarns when with a party
of friends. He was taught to say his
prayers, and If you'll believe me, that
dog now wags his tail whenever he
sees a minister anywhere near him."
II have a dog with even more intel
ligence than that" quietly returned a
member of the party. "One day when
he got out in the street some mis-
chievOus boys tied tin can to his tall

Waiting For q Jury to Grow.


81 have a case still pending In
south. Georgia justice court that has
been there since 1879" remarked Judge
Spencer r. Atkinson. former justice
Of the supreme court, to group OF
friends at the capitol. OF course they
had to ask Judge Atkinson for partic-
ulars.
Soon after / began the practice OF
law" the Judge continued. Il took
case for a client involving a verbal
contract for building log cabin. The
amount Involved was less than 500, so
suit was brought in the justice court
of the little country district where the
defendant, the owner Of the log cabin
lived. BY consent of all parties the
matter was referred to jury. The
first fury came In with a mistrial.
Another jury was called, and there
was another mistrial. And so 1t went
on for six or seven terms OF court
each successive jury falling to reach
verdict
"Then, one day, just before 1t was
time to call the case up for submis-
sicn to the seventh or eight jury, re-
ceived this note from the justice Of the
peace:
Dear Sir: / write this to let you
know the case Of Beckham agin Lyles
cannot be tried no more in this court.
You have used up all the juries in the
district and 1t won't be possible to get
no more juries until some grows up
or some new folks moves in. l have
wrote the same notice to the other
side. Yours truly: P. Williams. Justice
of the Peace, 497 district G. M
with that We dropped the case by
common consent and have been walt
ing ever since for new jury to grow"

THIEVES RAID TREASURY.
Nearly x2oo.oOo Stolen From Uncle
sans Vaults in Chicago.

Chicago, Feb 26.-One Of the
largest. If not the largest, thefts
from he United States sub-treasury
has been unearthed in Chicago.
Somewhere between $4,000 and
.saoo. 600 was stolen from the local
subrreasury last week. The money
has disappeared as completely as II
it had vanished from the face of the
earth.
The authorities here and in Wash
ington have been working night and
day on the robbery since it was dis
covered
Chief Wilkie of the United States
secret service. has been keeping In
formed by telephone and telegraph
OF every development and, according
to Geographic advices, he Will leave
Washington today to take personal
charge OF the investigation.
The secretary Of the treasury de-
partment was told of the gigantic
theft when in Chicago last week and
was in conference with Sub-Treasur-
or William Boldweck and secret SER
vice officials.
The money was stolen week ago
Saturday, and the next day or last
Monday The chances are 1t was alb
stracted on Monday. The loss was
discovered Tuesday.
All the money taken was in larg'
bills, bills of the denomination o
$4,000, $4,000 and 100000.
Just who discovered the loss the
Isubtreasury officials would not ad-
nit last night. Neither would they
| tell from what department the mon
| CIV was taken, nor how the loss was
discovered.
At first it was believed that there
must be some error in the bookkeep-
| ing. 1t was thought to be impossible
that such a large sum of money could
have been distracted in the face of
all the safeguards thrown around
Uncle Sans strong box.
The ledger man involved strenu-
ously denied any error and an inves-
tigation showed there was no posi-
Bile clerical mistake to account for
the disappearance of the cash.
