Surgeons Victory.

It was the habit of the Rev. Jas.
Sturgeon, grandfather of the great
preacher OF that name, to pray each
evening under certain oak tree in
a secluded wood in Honeywood park.
One night he dreamed. the story goes,
that Satan appeared and threatened
to tear him to pieces If he followed
his accustomed route to the tree.
There was another path by which he
might go in safety. Remembering

in which Satan was not. But this
would be to capitulate. Trembling in

A Years Embezzlements.

The total of embezzlemsnts and
kindred thefts for 1906 amounts to
.s14,739.65S, about $5.OO0,000 more
than last year. OF this total &c.,
.745,3s7 was stolen by officials of
banks, $1,6S4,554 by public officials
other than post Office employees, $22,-
$50 by the latter, s379,5S1 by agents
|$24S.10O from loan associations,
s223,6s7 by means of forgeries. and
the other defalcations, amounting to
s1,42s,969, were so varied in their
nature that they must be classed as
miscellaneous.
The comparison with last year is
not so much to the discredit OF this
year when It is remembered that
more than 100000 900 of the money
embezzled was taken by three men
one in Chicago one. in Philadelphia,
and one in Cuba. the agent of New

HOAXES THAT MADE
THE WORLD LAUGH
sss'cssSssSSssSSsssSSSGs3SSSc

The recent release of the princi.
pals in the notorious Humbert-C raw-
ford swindle recalls other instaices
humorous and tragic, where human
gullibility has reached almost in
credible limits.
Less than twenty years ago a re-
port got into circulation among the
peasants of Bosnia that the great
Viennese banker. Baron Rothschild,
had been sentenced to death for trea-
son, and was trying to secure a sub
stitute willing, for a handsome con-
sideration, to undergo the extreme
penalty in his stead. A large number
of peasants banded together to fur
nish this substitute by casting lots.
It was not until. the authorities
had posted in every village through
out the affected districts a strong de-
nial of the canard that the rioting
and ferment caused by the bankers
apparent reluctance to part with the
blood money" was allayed.
A hoax which nearly caused war
between Austria and Roumania con-
vulsed eastern Europe less than a
decade age. The inhabitants of
Rustchuk, in the latter country, were
convinced of the existences in their
midst of a wehrwolf- a man who is
able at will to change himself into a
hugh, ferocious wolf
Men of science doubted the story,
and in a worjy argument with a local
resident the famous Austrian pro-
fessor Taublich was killed for laugh
ing at what he had termed "tisue
of nonsens-." Complications imme-
diately arose between Austria and
Roumania, the former country de-
anding the'instant execution of the
murderer.
Just as Austria was about to pre-
sent an ultimatum the "wehrwolf'
was shot at and wounded, proving to
be nothin. more than a stupid prac-
teal joker whose folly not only cost
a valuable life, but had almost plung-
ed Europe into the horrors of war.

actor of the sixties. had a weakness

SEVERAL BRANCHES ARE SHORT

Washington, Jan. 4.--The recent
decisions by Judge Evans, in the fed
eral court at Louisville, and by Judge
Mccall, in the federal court at Mem
phis, declaring unconstitutional the
employers liability act, passed at the
last session of congress, were brought
to President Roosevelt's attention to-
day, and the announcement was made

passed.
Need Enlisted Men.
Not in recent years, except in war
times, has the army been so badly in
need of men as at present. A recent
circular addressed to all officers of
the recruiting service, made public at
the war department, calls attention

large numbers for the coast artillery,
the field artillery, the white infantry
and the white cavalry. Recruiting
officers are enjoined to redouble their
efforts to secure recruits qualified for
