wall paper for which they ask four
old hens. One goes to the house to
sell the recipe while the other stays
in the buggy and fortunately notices
that some OF their hens have got out,
and asks for help in catching them.
Thus they get few hens for nothing

$4,000
To BET ON RACES

Oakland, Dec. 2O.-Adriene LeBouf,
for three years cashier Of Hale Bros.
drygoods store, has been arrested on
a charge of embezzlement. He con-
fessed that he had used about 100000
of the firms money during the last
four months in gambling chiefly in
betting on the races in poOlrooms.
According to the story told by Le-
Bout, he began his peculations from
the firm in September. He took small
sums at first, but soon grew holder
until his thefts ran as high as $4,000
in one week. He declared that all OF
this money was lost on the races and
that the large amount of his defalCa-
ton was due to his efforts to recuper-
ate losses. The method by which Le-
Bout was able to steal the money was
that of padding cash accounts and
raising checks. According to the police
no suspicion attached to LeBOuf until
few days ago, when a check, raised
from $216 to $211G, started an inquiry
on the part of his employers. A de-
tective was Immediately put on the
case, and it took him but a few days
to reach the conclusion that the crime
had been committed by the cashier
LeBouf was trailed, his accounts were
investigated, he was questioned and
at last was placed under arrest.
He is Is years old and has a wife
and child.

SIXTY THOUSAND
IDLE IN BERLIN
PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYED WoR-
RYING GERMAN STATE
AUTHORITIES,

Berlin, Germany, Dec. 21.-Both the
city officials of Berlin and the Prus-
sian state authorities are trying to
find ways and means of dealing with
the problem of the unemployed, which
is assuming alarming proportions.
More than 10000 men and women are
out of work in Berlin according to
count just completed. Six weeks ago
the number of unemployed was esti-
mated at 100000 and the growth of the
army of involuntary idlers promises
to continue. There is apparently no
prospect of an early improvement in
the situation which is attributable
primarily to the unfavorable business
conditions and the general suspension
of work in the building trades.
Mayor Kirschner of Berlin, Minister
Of Commerce Belbrueck and Minister
of Railways Breitenbach who is the
largest employer of labor in Prussia,
are trying to devise plans for the amel-
ioration of the distress, which must
become more acute as the winter ad-
vances. So far as is practicable work
on public buildings and other improve
ments already begun will be carried
on with a full force of men and efforts
will be made to bring about actual
work on all projects for which plans
have been made or funds appropriated.
Unfortunately it is doubtful whether
these measures will do much to re-
lieve the situation, as the state author
tiles say they have already gone about
as far as they can in this direction.
Officials of the municipal lodging
halls, which are crowded nightly, say
many of the unemployed are praying
for heavy snowstorms, which will
force the city to give them at least
temporary work.
Similar conditions prevail in other
cities of Germany. In Stettin, where
the unemployed engaged in big
street demonstration last night, it
is said that fully 80 per cent of the
wharf workmen are idle.
