"He Never Said Turkey to Me Once"
This saying was more familiar to
the former than to the present gener-
alton, but comparatively few people
know it's origin
An Indian and a white man who
were hunting together killed a crow
and turkey.
The white man said to the Indian.
'You may take the crow and I'll take
the turkey, or I'll take the turkey and
you may have the crow"
The Indian replied, MAY be all right,
but you don't say turkey to me once.'

than once stumbled against clew

night job and the men who had been
working on the case ii seemed hope
less.
The burglary insurance included the
services of a night Waterman and a
burglar alarm system. Nothing seem
ed to be the matter with either of
these, and yet the block on Seaton
place had been repeatedly robbed.
OF late special patrolman had been
assigned to the block, and all night
long he had tramped from one end of
the short street to the other. Seaton
place was only block long, fash
ionable residence block that offered
rich returns to the men who had sys-
tematically looted the houses.
None had seen them go in or out.
though strict watch had been kept.
Once they had even placed a man in
each back yard to make certain. that
no one could enter through the rear,
and yet during that week of special
precaution three of the houses had
been robbed
The owners were of the ultra Eng
lish set, who seldom came to town
from their country places until after
the opera season set In, and already
the company stood to lose the better
part of its capital in paying off its
losses.
Danvers, looking about for coign Of
vantage, hit upon theatrical boarding
house at the rear of the block. Here he
obtained a rear room, and for several
nights he kept vigil. The moon was in
its last quarter, and ii was not always
easy to keep watch, but he sat peering
into the dusk, looking to see some one
jump the line of fences and attack the
houses from tire rear That entrance
was effected from the rear he was GER
tain, because the watch from the front
was too strict to be evaded.
1t was the fifth night that, happening
to look up, he perceived shadow
crossing the sky line Of the houses. He
rubbed his eyes that were dropping
with sleep, but he still saw the shadow
advancing toward the opposite roof.
'They can't have flying machine"
he muttered to himself. IF they have
it's no wonder the boys couldn't locate
them. l guess I'll go up on the roof
and have a better look"
He stole out of the room and up the
stairs to the roof. The trap was left
open In pleasant weather to ventilate
the stuffy halls, and as he climbed
softly through the scuttle hole he al.
most lost his balance.
Standing on the edge of the roof was
a second man, and even as Danvers
looked he stepped out over the edge of
the roof and glided toward the opposite
side.
There was third figure, woman's.
and Danvers waited moment to see
II she, too, would essay walking upon
the air, but she made no effort to fol-
low her companions example, and at
last the detective slipped through the
opening and crept softly behind her.
With a bound he was upon her and
had clapped his hand over her mouth
before she could make cutlery. Even
in the dim light he could recognize her
as one of a trio OF acrobats he had no
ticed at the tables More than once

The First Photography.

1t was in 1912 that John Draper,
then a professor in the University of
New York, made the first portrait pho
tograph. The subject was Elizabeth
Draper, his sister. Professor Draper
had the idea that in order to produce
distinct facial outlines in photography
1t would be necessary to cover the
cOuntenance of the person photograph
ed with flour. This seems strange
notion now, and 1t proved not to lie 4
good one then, for all Of Professor
Diapers early attempts were failures.
Finally he left off the flour and then
was quite successful. This so delight
ed him that he sent the picture to Sir
William Herschel, the eminent English
astronomer. Sir William was in turn
delighted and made known Professor
Diapers success to the scientific men
Of Europe. He also sent Professor
Draper a letter Of acknowledgment
and congratulation, which has been
carefully preserved in the archives Of
the Draper family.

will at once sink TO the bottom; an egg
three days old will remain suspended
about midway, and an egg that is five

"A CELEBRATED CASE"

The story of "A Celebrated Case" which Is the offering of the Poli sum mer stock company at, the Jacques this week Is an absorbing and thrlll- ing one There is prologue and an epilogue, but the action is so swift and the interest so well sustained that there is not a slow moment in the time consumed. The action opens just before the battle of Fontenoy and concerns young Frencbman, Jean Renaud. who by reason of his charity in succoring wounded nobleman is accused and conictved of murder of which he is innocent The real per petrator of the crime assumes the name and estates of the nobleman whom Renaud has succored, while tho real hero is sent to the galleys for life. How he is finally brought 70 bay and Ranaud cleared forms the plot Of a remarkable bit of dramatic con- struction. The piece is exceptionally we'll mounted and the characters are sure to be well impersonated. Rich ard Gordon appears as Renaud ano Miss Nordstrom. the new leading woman. as his daughter, Adrienne.

POLLS
LEW DOCKsTADER.

Every lover of tobacco will be in- terested ill the big spectacular novelty to be seen in connection with Lew Dockstader's minstrels, called ..The Land of Nicotine," or .'The Evolution of Tobacco" at Polls tomorrow night. This is series of tableauy, songs and dances all iliustratiev or the history and growth of tobacco, chronologically presented and worked out with fine regard for detail.
 Beginning with an Indian scene, there are noticed the tepees and wig vans peculiar to the red man, among which are interspersed the swarthy chieftans and their braeys. A fight Is imminent between two rival tribes and big war council is held. The chiefs meet and after parleying, de- eide that too much Indian blood has been spilled in internal dissention. It is thereupon concluded to smoke the pipe of peace, which ceremony is gone through with careful regard to the actual manner in which Indians used to do it. Following the Indians Is seen big tobacco plantation with the weed in full bloom. In the dis tance are the little log nuts of the negroes who are employed to raise and cultivate the tobacco In this setting are shown the workers engaged In harvesting the tobacco. Following this is a famailiar strain of music and the scene shifts to a Holland setting, and the Hollanders with their big pipes are seen in characteristic dance.
 7 The finale is the up-to-date cigarette girls and boys who go through a series of gyratons and dances that for beauty have never been surpassed on the stage. By means Of electrical contravances they light their cigar cites and sing to a kaleidoscopic dis ploy of lights, every color of the rain bow being pressed into service to make the wonderful combination Of hues that result. Twelve electricians are required behind the scenes and in the front of the balcony to secure this marvellously beautiful effect.
 The music for the tobacco playlet was written especially for the produc- ton by Mr Louis Hirsch, who inusi- cal works are well known throughout the country. Prices are 25c to S1.50 Telephone 10S4. Seats are now on sale.

NOT OUT or STEEL TRUST.
w. E. Corey Arrives With Actress Bride From Europe.

w. F. Corey Arrives With Actress Bride From Europe.
 NEW YORK. July 22.-7With Mabelle Gilman, his actress bride, clinging daintily to his arm, William Ellis Corey. president of the steel trust re- turned on the French liner La Sayoie from his two month honeymoon trip in Europe.
 He denied that he had resigned or would resign from the steel trust and stated positively that the second Mrs. Corey would never return to the stage. He said he knew of no move on the part of the trustees to supplant him in office.
 The Coreys brought over with them as their guest slim lad of twenty, one Gerin, the son of Paris banker. He was practically their only compan- ion on the voyage. They had all their meals served in their cabin de luxe. Though the couple walked the deck with young Gerin morning, afternoon and evening, they mingled with none of the other passengers. No one at- tempted to break through the barrier which, according to one of the passen- gers, was gradually drawn higher as the trip progressed by a sort of mutual consent.
 Mrs. Corey's gowns and hats and gloves and French slippers and gems were the constant delight of all the other women on the ship, among whom wers number of milliners and modistes returning from Paris competent judges in such matters.
 Mir. Corey, of whom much has been said concerning his divorce from his first wife and subsequent marriage to the slender, dark eyed actress, looked as cool as cucumber and almost as young as his wife.
 Please say something decent about me, just for once. in the papers," said the head of the steel trust, showing his teeth in a smile. He didn't volunteer news, but said he and his bride had not curtailed their honeymoon on ac- count of any rumors sent from here as to his relation with the United States Steel Trust corporation.

Ha. Removed Pittsburg Cloud.

PITTSBURG, July 22.-Pittsburg, known throughout the world us the Smoky City, is in fair way to lose that title by reason of the activity in forcing an ordinance against the smoke nuisance, and success has been attained thus far. Recently a stringent ordinance was passed having for its object the elimination of the clouds of smoke that hang over the city night and day for 365 days year. As soon as it received official sanction 442 plants were visited. and there ap- pears to have been general response to the movement to get rid of the smoke. Huge stacks that formerly emitted black l.ills of smoke night and day seem to be idle but for close observation, when a thin, gray cloud may be seen drifting into space. and all this has been accomplished by moral suasion.
