Marshal Madden picked up a man this

every particular, Of fellow wanted for
murder In Missouri. A sheriff came out
from Missouri to look the man over. lie
admitted upon his arrival here that he did
not know the man he wanted. He was q
new sheriff. and had not seen the fellow.
The fat sheriff finally went back to
Missouri without the man, being afraid
to take him on the description. He
seemed to be wandering about aimlessly,
and was even afraid to send for some one
who could Identify the man. The
sheriff material must be running out
altogether 10 Missouri. There was a
reward Of 5000 offered for the murderer,
and the Missouri sheriff returned home,
thinking that he had found the right
man, but that still, she wasn't sure Of 1t. "

Ways of Raising Money for Charity.

The method Of raising money for
charities by such means as the confer
ring of decorative coat labels on tag

times immemorial N China donation
of 10000 taels to charity has secured
for the donor the much-prized pea,
cocks feather, while for half that sum
o title of nobility is conferred on ones
ancestors to the third generation. The
late emperor of Brazil followed the
same method when erecting hospital
In Rio de Janeiro. Having found a
difficulty in obtaining the necessary
funds, he announced that the title of
baron" was to be conferred on every
subscriber of 10000 milreis, and that
of count" on subscribers of 250,OO0
milreis. This announcement produced
the desired effect, and the hospital was
soon completed. The opening cere-
mony was performed by the emperor,
and attended by large number of the
newly ennobled, who did not alto
gsther relish the words inscribed In
letters of gold on the gable of the new
building, Human Vanity to Human
