PROBABLY AN ERROR
Mysterious Disappearance of Bills from
the Subtreasury at Chicago.

Readers of newspapers have doubtless
perused the account of the mysterious
disappearance of $4,000 from the sub
treasury at Chicago. The latest phase
of the situation is explained on the pos
sibility of an error. However, the best
detectives of the government have been
baffled in their efforts to unravel the
mystery. In telegram from Chicago
of recent date it is stated that warrants
in blank have been prepared for the ar
rest of any suspect against whom suffl-
cient evidence may accumulate. The
warrants were prepared by United States
Commissioner Mark A. Foote under the
direction of District Attorney Sims.
Mr.. Foote and the district attorney
remained at the Federal building until
late at night so that they could keep con-
stantly in touch with the secret service
bureau.
My connection with the case ex-
planned Mr.. Sims, deals entirely with
It's lcSdi phases. II pCiHdpS "ouio ~
justifable to make an arrest Or two now
but there is no need of it. Every one
OF the suspected persons is under strict
surveillance. Every movement they make
| is known to Captain Porter"
The government officials working
on the disappearance of the money
from the sub-treasury declare that they
are unable to trace the theft to any one
person, and they have forced the strong
opinion that the disappearance Is not the
result of theft but of clerical error.
Captain Porter of the secret service,
who has charge of the case, believes the
matter will be Strengthened out He
would not say that he had abandoned
the theory of theft, but other officials
connected with the sub-treasury declare
that the idea of an error was receiving
far more consideration than that of a
possible robbery.

A Puzzled Author,

When Alphonse Daudet brought out
"Sappho" an American publishing
house that issued religious books, not
knowing its character, offered NJ. Dau-
Diet large sum for advance sheets Of
the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets We're sent. When
the publishers received them they de-
cided that they could not issue the
book, and they cable! to the author,
'Sappho' will not do" This dispatch
puzzled Daudet He consulted with
numbers of friends. and this was the
conclusion at which they eventually
arrived: "Sappho" in French is spelled
with one ''p''-''Sapho," after the Greek
fashion. In English 1t is spelled with
two. An unusually acute friend point
ed this out to Daudet. which much re-
lieyed the novelist, and he cabled back
to the publishers, spell it with two
p's." 1t is needless to state that the
publishers were more astonished at
Daudet's reply than he had been at
their cable dispatch.

The First Dancers,

People have danced for thousands of
years and will probably continue to
do SO for ages to come. This custom
Is Of ancient origin. The first people
to dance were the Curetes, who adopt
ed dancing as mark Of rejoicing in
1913 B. C. In early times the Greeks
combined dancing with the drama, and
in % B. G. pantomimic dances were
introduced on the Roman stage At
the discovery of America the American
Indians were holding their religious.
martial and social dances.

THE PARIS CLUBS.
Election to the Most Exclusive Ones
Is q Serious Business.

Is q Serious Business.
Election to the exclusive clubs of
Paris is a very serious business. The
proposer and seconder must not only
know all about their candidates, but
be able to bear witness to their ante
cedents and even to their fOrefathers.
They must write to all their friends
and ask them to support their candi-
dates When the election takes place,
they must not only be in the room, but
approach each member individually as
he comes up to the ballot box and ask
him for his support.
When the member has been elected,
he arrives the first day as a kind Of
stranger and with his hat in hand. He
Is then formally introduced by one of
his proposers to each member sepa-
rately who happens to be in the room
at the time. On the second occasion
he has ceased to be a stranger and may
leave his hat in the hall, but he is still
expected to go round the room with
one of his proposers and be formally
introduced. This lasts for a week, by
which time he is assumed to know all
his colleagues though a foreigner who
is extra punctilious and insists on be-
ing introduced to every member of the
club gains considerably in popularity.

Another charm is for the witch to

her head. Then, kneeling in the cen

cantation. at the end Of which she
shakes her head. If the bundle falls

From the BountifuI East.

A small proportion of the fora is in

the east. like all the great ideas on
which our culture Is founded, and were
developed and improved on this classic
soil. Italy received the lemon and
the orange from the Semites, who in
their turn had obtained them from
India. The olive, the fig, the vine and
the palm were grown by the Semites
long before their cultivation penetrat-
ed to the west. The laurel and myr-
tie, indeed. are indigenous in Italy, but
their use for ceremonial purposes came
across the Mediterranean from the

of the Hindoos.
The sacred thread of the Brahmans is
well known. 1t is caste distinction
assumed at an early age and never
parted with. It must be made by a
Brahman and should consist Of three
strands. each Of a different color, for
ty-eight yards in length, doubled and
twisted together twice, the ends tied
in knots. 1t must be worn next the
skin, over the left shoulder, hanging
down to the thigh on the right side.
The three castles of the .HindOOS are
distinguished by the material Of these
threads-cotton for the Brahmans,
hemp for the warriors and wool for the
artisans The ParSees also wear the
sacred thread, and boys of seven or
nine are invested with it, the threads
used being made always Of fibers of
the suru tree. Monier Williams de-
scribes the sacred girdle of the Par
sees as made of seventy-two woolea
threads, forming a fiat band. which is
twined three times around the body
and tied in two peculiar knots. the Sc
cret of which is known only to the
ParSeeS.

The Pathetic Career of John Stow,
the English Antiquary.
John Stow, the. celebrated English
antiquary, was a remarkable man. He
was born of poor parents about 1925
and brought up to the tailor's trade.
For forty years his life was passed
among needles and thread, but in the
few leisure hours which his trade al
lowed him he had always been fond
reader of legends, chronicles, histories
and all that told of the times that
were past. By such reading he grew
to be so attached to old memoirs that
when about forty years of age he
threw down his needle, devoted him
self to collecting them and followed
his new profession with the faith and
enthusiasm Of an apostle. Short of
means, he made long journeys afoot
to hunt over and ransack colleges and
monasteries, and, no matter how worn
and torn might be the rags of old pa
pers which he found, he Kept all, re-
viewing, connecting, copying, compar-
ing, annotating, with truly wonderful
ability and good sense. Arrived at
fourscore years and no longer capable
Of earning a livelihood, he applied to
the king, and James l., conserving to
his petition, granted to the man who
had saved treasures of memoirs for
English history the favor Of wearing a
beggar's garb and asking aims at
church doors. In this abject state,
forgotten and despised, he died two
years later.
