He Robbed the Thief.

From Czenstochowa, the Mecca Of
Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing
story Of condolences, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. A pilgrim went to one
of the priests and complained that
some thief had stolen his purse while
he was in church, and asked for money.
The priest replied that he had no
money and that the best thing for the
pilgrim to do was to try to find the
thief.
Il shall go into the church and steal
money from somebody else" said the
pilgrim, 'for l have nothing to go
home with" He went into the church
and seeing a man in the crowd with
a wallet on his back slipped his hand
into it and pulled out his own stolen
purse, with the exact sum he had left
in it. He was so glad to find his money
that he hurried off to tell the priest
and the thief got away.

Gets Baby Back After SOIOmOnic
Judgment of Ownership.
Richard B. Curran's parrot, Baby, a
talented ginger-colored bird that may
talk in every language except Esper-
anto, proved it's identity in Harlem
court yesterday morning and was re
stored to it's doting master, from whom
it had been rudely stolen Sept. 10, says
the New York Sun. Baby spends the
day in Curran's house, on 145th street,
near Lenox avenue, hanging head down
and brushing up on it's French and Ger
man, occasionally with side ventures
into profanity.
Curran taught the bird to greet him
with an affectionate Hello, pop" ev-
cry night when he came home from
work, to shake hands and to stand on
ments Baby took an inordinate pride.
A burglar got into Curran's house and
ran off with Baby and two suits Of
clothes, and Curran made haste to
mourn his loss at the East 10th street
station. The detectives were put on
the trail of the linguist.
They found the cultured South
American In the home Of Mrs. Ellen
Kenney, at % East 134th street, late
Saturday night, and when the woman
said that she got the bird from Jere-
miah Whalen, of 1887 9Th avenue, the
detectives gathered in Jeremiah and
charged him with burglary.
When the man came up for arraign-
ment at the Harlem court yesterday
the police produced Baby and Curran
stepped forward to claim it. Hello,
pop" said the bird in ecstacy, and it
stretched forth a claw for shaking with
every manifestation of genuine feeling.
"Guess that's your bird, all right"
said the magistrate, and Curran left
with Baby playfully clawing him in
the neck and chirping joyfully in Ara

DIVORCES CAN MARRY.

Need Not Wait Years, as Demanded
by Law.
Ruling that divorced persons may go
outside of the State and be married with
in a year after obtaining legal separa-
ton and come back to Wisconsin and be
recognized in law as husband and wife,
despite State law which prohibits mar
riage of divorced persons within a year,
Judge Brindley of La Crosse has handed
down a decision of Importance in Wis
consin. The question arose on an appeal
from the County Court of Monroe County
over the claim of sarah Lanham against
the estate of j. w. Lanham, deceased,
whom the plaintiff married within year
after securing a divorce from her hus-
band, s. Sherman, whom it is alleged, de-
serted her seven years previously. Mrs.
Sherman and Mr.. Lanham were married
in Menominee, Mich, returning to Wis
conSin to live. After the death of Mr..
Lanham the plaintiff filed a claim in the
County Court against the estate for her
allowance and support during the admin
istration of the estate. The children and
heirs of the deceased set up as a defense
the statute prohibiting the marriage of
divorced persons within a year and de-
clare the marriage null and void and that
plaintiff is not entitled to any portion of
the $4,000 estate. The courts decision
is to the effect that the Legislature of one
State cannot pass law of Interstate eff
feet on the marriage question and that
restrictive matrimonial statutes can be
by removal to another State,
even though it be but for a short period

and then your cloth on. And where
hot dish is placed on the table, you

have the OilclOth split through the cen

To Test Flour.

If your flour is white with yellow
ish straw color it is good; while if it
has a blush cast, or black specks in, it
is the opposite.
Flour can only be tested by its adj
hesivenesS- and knead a little of
it between the fingers. If it works
soft and sticky it is poor.
If a little flour is thrown against a
dry, smooth surface and it falls like
powder, you may know that it is not
of the best quality.
Ii flour squeezed in the hand retains
the shape given it when the hand is
relaxed it is a good sign.
