California Girl Declares His Satanis

Become Thief.

Trinity Labadie, a 17-year-old
girl of Oakland, Cal, is going 10
give Mary McLane, erstwhile of
Montana, now of Boston, a close rub
for pull" with his satanic majesty.
Miss Labadie recently reported to
the police that the devil told her to
steal and she just couldn't help it.
Trinity was given a room at the
Young Women's Christian associa-
ton recently and the next day, it is
alleged, sum Of money and some
Of the rooms furnishings disap-
peared. Likewise Trinity. When
she was rounded up and questioned,
she laid the blame for the matter
on the devil, who not being there to
defend himself, or summon an abb,
1t under suspicion as accessory before
the fact. Miss Labadie is being
detained by the police until further
inquiry can be had into her rela-
tons with the imp of darkness.

CHILDISH PERSIAN WOMEN.

In the shah's harem Worth of
Paris finds market for out-of-date
costumes, and so vain and feminine
are these queens that they will
pay the most exorbitant sums for an
exclusive model, if they can thereby
prevent rival queen" obtaining
it. As general rule, however,
these women, for all the luxury of
their surroundings, are most child
ishly Ignorant and their sole ambi-
ton in life is to be the mother of the
heir to the throne. The principal
queen of the late shah, however, was
an exceptionally clever woman. She
was no mean poet and her verses
on the beauties of nature are gems
Of their kind.
