A. B. Mays Convicted.

.SMuch interest was taken in the case of A. B. Mays, who was arraigned before Mayor Sugg this morning on charge of larceny. Mays gained considerable mo- toriety by securing the evidence which led to the arrest and conviction of number of violators of the prohibition law, and was the leading witness against them.
 He was charged with the larceny of watch belonging to the Gibbs Jewelry company, he being formerly employed by them as a salesman. It was alleged that he sold a watch to John Gulas for S5 which had belonged to his employers. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out after he had secured the conviction of number of soft drink dealers, and it was stated they worked up the evidence against him. Mayor Sugg imposed fine of $25 against him.

Laxative For

There is a great difference in the purposes to which a laxative should be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc. are usually violent purgatives or cathartics and altogether too power ful for the average person.
 A woman at all times needs only . mild laxative-in fact. none other is though they may be, for the object is simply to move the bowels and If a gentle laxative will do 1t what Is the use of violent one?

TOY SHOPS OF NUREMBERG.
Playthings Are Unlike Toy Struc-
lures in Our Shops.

From the Craftsman.
A place in which to linger and dream
dreams Is the Albrecht iDurer house.
which, except for it's lack of complete fur
niture and household utensils. probably
looks as 1t did in the great artists time.
You can buy beautiful prints of his en-
cravings there for a mark apiece. There
are other houses in Nurnberg equally
wonderful. and 1t is not difficult to OBJ
tain permission TO see them The simple,
kindly Bavarians are proud of their past
and its relics, and IL courteously ap-
preached will show the utmost kindness
and hospitality to the stranger:
The guidebooks will tell you about the
pictures by Albrecht Durer and Won
Kulmbach. the carved wood and bronze
Kraft and Veit Stoss. the stained glass
and the wonderful smith work of Nurn-
berg: one cannot very well experience the
esthetic joy Of them without seeing them,
but II you have not yet seen Nurnberg
and yet divine that you will love it and
want to picture it. imagine instead the
time stained houses, the steep red brown
roofs the turretS and strong stone towers
and walls. the slow brown river upon
whose banks the Meistersanger met for
their contests of verse and song. There
are fascinating junk shops. too, along the
banks Of that river where occasional
treasures may be found. You may see a
woman lean out of the window and draw
up pail of water from the river for her
needs, and it makes modern plumbing
seem a poor thing, although. alas, the
woman would probably prefer the brass
faucet If she had it! There are places
other than museums and cathedrals where
you want to linger. and which are Just as
true part of Nurnberg past and pres
ent. There are the toy shops, for one
thing. Did you realize that Germans
were the first organized manufacturers Of
children's toys and that they have all
ways been speciality of Nurnberg? The
most fascinating objects for small chill
dren are TO be found there-very different
from the unimaginative marvels of mod
ern toy structures with which our toy
shops are filed.

PAT THE HORSES FOREHEAD.
Caress He Likes Best, But Most
People Don't Know It.
From the New York Sun.

mot many people know how to pet
a horse-that is, from a horses stand
point said the driver of one of the big
trucks that bring rolls of paper to the
Sun office.
Every nice-looking. sleek horse comes
in for good deal of petting," he went
on, as one of the big grays rubbed his
muZzle anXiOusly against the truckman' s
sleeve. Hitch a fine horse close to the
curb and you'll find that half the men,
women and children passing along will
stop for a minute and give him an affec-
tionate pat or two.
THAT is especially true along Park
row during the noon hour. The trouble
is that they don't pat him in the right
place
IF you want to make horse think he
Is going to the equine paradise rub him
over his eyes. Next to that form of en-
dearment a horse likes to be rubbed
right up between the ears. In petting
horses most people neglect those nerve
centres. stroke the horses nose.
while a we'll behaved horse will accept
the nasal careSS complacently, he would
much prefer that nice, soothing touch
applied to the eyelids. Once in d while
person comes along who really does
not know how to pet horse and is sur
prised when Il horse throws back his ears
and acts peeViSh; but let person come
along who was brought UP in the country
and knows the horse and his peculiar
ways and he will pet the animal by rup-
bing him between the ears, directly over
the eyes

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

There has been q slight increase In the
catch of yellow perch and other varieties
of fresh fish by the nets in the Potomac
during the past three or four days, but
the catch is still light and the receipts
by the dealers at the wharf market quite
small. Fish of all kinds are commanding
good prices, and the demand for them is
very brisk. All along the river the fisher
men operating trap nets of various kinds
have been busy for a week or ten days
in putting out nets and making ready
for the opening of the fishing season.
The storm of last Wednesday night and
Thursday caused such rough water on
the river that number Of these nets
were carried away, entailing heavy loss
upon the owners and one that they will
not recover from this season. In addi-
tion to the perch, carp and catfish are
being captured in the nets in the river
in moderate quantities and are being sent
to this market to SELL

A correspondent welcomes the new words

allowed such words as "chlorodyne" Git
orally green pain'o to become current.
Another new word, which noticed on

'picturedrome." which, being strictly in
