Necklace Brinus m Luck.

An eerie story is told about neck
lace which formerly belonged to the
maharannee of Cooch Behar, India,
and which is supposed to bring bad
fortune to every one connected with
it. The history of the necklace-of
pearls and turquoises, which are not
usually considered to be unlucky
stones-is certainly peculiar. While it
was in the maharannee's possession
she was robbed of a quantity of valu.
able jewelry and the maharaiah lost
some of his best racing ponies by
death and breakdowns. The advice of
a pundit was sought. He prescribed a
change of ownership and voyage
across the sea in order to break the
spell and the necklace was according
ly given to lady in England AS a re-
suit the mahsrajah has begun to win
races again and the maharannee has
received the stolen property, but the
story goes that the present owner of
the necklace has beer the victim OF
persistent i'll fortune from the day
that it came into her possession.

JUST KICKED AT a CAT.
Cure for rheumatism Discovered by a
Jersey Freight Clerk.

A clerk in a railroad freight Office
in Jersey City suffered from spasmod-
ic twinges in his right leg, which he
attributed to rheumatism. He consult
ed physician and spent a good deal
for medicine, but continued to grow
worse. One morning recently the of
fee tomcat in spirit of fliendliness
arched his back and rubbed against
the afflicted calf The clerk gave a
vicious kick with his bad leg and a
gray streak shot through the air. He
hobbled to chair and sat down with
a few stirring remarks about cats and
rheumatism. A few minutes later he
gritted his teeth hard and arose. He
shook his leg and feebly smiled. Then
he walked like drum major across
the floor and boisterously shook hands
with himself. The sharp twinges had
disappeared and there has been no
recurrence of pain. The clerks doc
tor corrected his diagnosis VIXEN asked
for an explanation of the sudden cure
and said that what he mistook for
rheumatism was probably caused by
twisted ligament. The kick at the cat
Strengthened out tile twist and re-

WILLIAM j. BRYAN, who arrived in
Washington on Friday, has elaborated
his plan to have the government tax
national banks and establish guarntee
fund to insure all depositors against
loss. He declared that such law
would re-establish confidence at once
much more effectively than an issue of
short term notes or depositing of large
sums of government money in the banks.
''The advantages of this plan are,'
said Mr.. Bryan:
/. That every depositor in such
guaranteed bank will feel secure.
g The expense of it will be paid by
the banks which get the benefit of it.,
and this expense will be small COM
pared with the benefit gained.

mediately, thus restoring confidence
and enabling business to be resumed.
Mr.. Bryan declared that one four
year term in the white house ought TO
be enough for any man.

Sentiment.

A flag is no more to be classed as
a strip of bunting than the sword of
Bunker Hill could be classed as a
chunk of steel. Memories, traditions,
ideals, loyalty. patriotism are not I'M
real because they cannot be measured
with yardstick or weighed on the
scales of a coal yard. Loyalty to the
flag is force as real and far more
permanent than the great lifting crane
of the navy yard Patriotism will move
more. in the space of time. than the
biggest engine in the freight yards.
Ideals are more forceful than the big
gest mound Of radium that the ciyiliz-
ed world can ever get together. Public
sentiment has had more to do with the
digging OF the Panama canal than the
heaviest shovelss driven by steam in

TRACKS EVIL DOORS
WOMAN DETECTIVE FEARLESS IN
HER WORK.
Ethel King Responsible for the Break.
ing Up of Many Gangs of Grim
inals-AbIe to Take Care of
Herself

Should you meet a good-lookins
sailor boy, with complexion some
thing too good for one who follows the
sea, take a second look at him. i
may be Ethel King, the woman detec
tive of Philadelphia, in one of hel
many DISCUSSES.
Take searching glance at the mes
senger boy who runs, with head down
to deliver missive. 1t is possible
that the female sleuth may be hiding
her identity within the blue suit
Look around you in opium-scented
Chinatown. The dapper woman who
trips past the lookout at the gambling
joint, with side glance at the closed
door, may be pretty Ethel King in the
costume of her sex, but sent on a
mission that is very unusual to a
woman.
AT home Miss King lives a quiet
and secluded life. Few of her associ-
ates in the clearinghouse at which
she has her room know what dis
tinguished parsonage is the dark-eyed
girl who is SO frequently away on
mysterious trips.
Absolutely without fear Miss King
has accepted any dangerous work that
has come to her in the line of duty.
She has donned the uniform of a
United States sailor and haunted the
docks and navy yard vicinity in search
for information regarding sailor Grim
inals.
Being a small woman and looking
rather diminutive in boys clothes
Miss King had no difficulty in assum-
ing the character of district mes
senger Mercury. She readily assumed
the jargon of the corps, as well as
the uniform of the messenger boy, and
did valuable work in breaking up a
series of pilferings and clever swim
dies that the youngsters had carried
on for years at the expense of the
company and its customers.
. She learned that the boys were in
the habit of meeting in the street and
complaint be made of money collected
on prepaid messages, or of cash miss
ing from envelopes intrusted to the
boys for delivery, it would be easy to
establish an alibi Miss King astound-
ed the management of the company
by her revelations concerning the
tricks of the messenger boys and en-
abled the regular sleuths of the con-
Germ to checkmate the systematic
stealings and guard against repeti-
ton of them.
AS a scullery girl Miss King assist
ed in the arrest of notorious woman
thief who had been in the habit of
hiring out as domestic for the pur-
pose of allowing her criminal friends
to enter and rob the house at night
The woman sleuth washed dishes and
watched the other woman, and when
the critical time came. and the house
was raided in the dead of night, the
would-be thieves were caught in a
trap.
Miss KiRg has assisted In the sup
preston of the opium traffic and of
the gambling dens of Chinatown. She
has made friends with the yellow man
and in due time betrayed him to the
police. She has been threatened time
and again, but has not so far been at
tackled. Threats she ignores, and any
one who has talked with her for
time is impressed with the idea that
in tight corner she could well take
care of herself, for, as she says:
a woman is as good as a man in
a gun fight, and / am always ready"
