A Pretty Rird.

He was a pretty bird, nearly all yell
low shading from light to dark, and
with wings just tipped with black. His
keeper loved to wait upon him, and
saw personally hat his cage was kept
clean and that he always had fresh
water to drink.
One day he refused to eat, in spite
of persuasion, and after that his appe-
tite was always more or less indif-
ferent, He began to get thin. and the
friend began to worry, thinking what
she would say If he died OF her hands.
Well, to make a long story short, that
is just what he did, and nobody has
ever found out the reason.
The friend was nearly distracted, for
she knew Ways mistress thought the
world of him, and for a while she did
not know what to do. But pretty soon
a brilliant thought struck her.
She put on her hat, wrapped the bird
in a handkerchief, placed him in a
paper bag, and went from one bird
store to another until she found a liv-
ing one who looked just like him.
This she bought and placed in the
cage, and now her friend is home again
and has the bird in her possession.
Not Found Out as Yet.
isn't it funny" she said the other
day. "Wag never answers when l call
him by his name, and he used to cock
his head on one side and chirp every
time I said 1t. He seems actually
stupid. and doesn't sing nearly so well
as he used to. Sometimes l ever
imagine he looks different" and she
poked her finger through the cage to
see If he would peck at 1t, as Wag
used to, while the friend who had wit
messed Ways demise looked guilty
out of the window.
Poor woman! She has little peace
OF mind with that fraud on her con-
science. If she stays away from her
friends nome she is afraid of being
suspected, and SO she calls quite often,
but hardly enjoys her visits.
She is quite sure that If she a told
her friend about it in the first place
1t would nave been all right. But now
she feels as IL it is too late to do any
thing but wait.
She hardly sleeps nights. wondering
how long it will be before her friend
finds out. MOLLlE'

Getting the Ruef Jury.

San Francisc, April 27.-More pro
gress was made. Friday in the getting
Of jury to try Abraham Ruef on the
charge of extortion than on any pre-
vious day that seemingly endless task
was undertaken. When the usual
over-Sunday adjournment was ordered
the number Of jurors in the box had
been increased from five to nine, a
tentative gain of four FOR the day.
Five of these nine however, may be
dismissed by the excise of peremp
tory challenge, two Of which remain
with the prosecution and five with the
defense. The other four Jurors have
been finally passed and sworn. It
is thought likely that still another
venire will have to be issued by Judge
Dunno before the jury can be com
pleted.

Topeka, April 27.-Fred 8. jackson,
Kansas attorney general, has an
nounced that as soon as he could se7
cure any evidence that would wars
rant q prosecution he would instruct
q county attorney to begin prosecu-
tion Of q travelling salesman for selling
liquors in Kansas. This evidence
probably will DO had soon. Mr.. Jack
son will base this case on the recent
decision Of the United States supreme
court In the Delamater VS.. South
Carolina case in which the Kansas
supreme court was overruied IN a
former decision. The case will be
brought in the ordinary course Of
criminal cases through a justice Of
the peace. It is expected that the
defendant win appeal and carry the
case eventually to the supreme court.
As soon as the case reaches the high
er court an effort will be made to ad-
vance 1t to an early hearing ana de-
cision.
The Kansas statutes now provide
that any one soliciting orders for
liquors may be fined from 81 to $500
or sent to Jail for from one to six
months. This statute was held invalid
by the supreme court once on the
ground that its enforcement would be
a burden on interstate commerce. The
United States supreme court. however,
upheld the law in the South Carolina
case. Mr.. Jackson has Just received
a copy Of the opinion in the case
and 1t has been thoroughly discussed
in his office. He is now looking for
evidence on which to base case and
give the Kansas supreme court a
chance to reverse a former decision.

ProcIamatioa Closing Jrsti5 aiions
OF Territory For Week.

Oklahoma City, okle.-Cbaries
Filson, Acting Governor of the Ter
ritory, issued a proclamation deelar-
ing a six-day holiday. In conse-
cuence, every bank in the city was
closed. The proclamation follows:
Whereas, It appears to the UNDER
signed, Acting Governor of the Terri
tory Of Oklahoma, that all OF the lead
ing cities of the United States
through their clearing house assoeia-
lions have entered into an agreement
to protect themselves against cohdi-
tions which they are apparently un-
abIcto control, and by such concerted
action are, refusing to ship currency
to country banks which have deposits
with them or to honor the bills or
lading drawn upon thefbanks OF such,
OF to pay checks OF customers over
the counters; and
Whereas, Such action makes it
impossible for the banks of Oklahoma
to meetithe immediate demands upon
them for currency to pay 70. the cot
ton and other products OF the Terri
tory; and
Whereas, Our banks appear to be
in a solvent copcition; therefore,
BE it ordained that a legal holt
day, extending from, Octoper %, six
days, to November 9, be proclaimed.
CHARLES. FLSON,
Acting Governor"
There has beeNen no ~uneasiness lin
this city, end the bankers say the de-
posits last week were greater than in
any previous week in the month. Ihc
motive IN closing is projection in case
OF a run. Since the banks here could
not get cash from Kansas City in case
of unusual demands they considered
the risk too great The banks of
this city are carrying many of the
small banks OF the Territory. They
have arranged to issue Clearing
House certificates until conditions inn
prove. The banks of the Southwest
are further embarrassed because of
the demand for cash to move the cot
ton crop. It is said thai many bank
erss OF Oklabo ma, Indian Territory,
Arkansas and Northern Texas were in
consultation by telephone early IN
the morning, and that all decided on
similar action.
