CAUGHT BY EXPRESS co.
Charged With Crime In Savannah, the Man Is Caught In British Columbia.

Savannah, February 22.-(Special.)- R. Hull, who was agent of the Atlantic Coast Line railway, having the confidence of his employers, while relieving an agent is charged with having stolen a number of Southern Express company blank money orders.
 He is said to have succeeded in filling up and cashlngs several in Savannah. The express company immediately got busy and flooded the country with a de- scriptive circular. invading Canada to the north and Mexico and Cuba to the south. Panama was not overlooked, and they were just preparing to flood Europe and the newly acquired possessions of the United States with these circulars when a telegram was received saying that Hull had been arrested at Ravelstoke, British Columbia, Canada, on the Canadian Pa cific railroad, when he attempted to cash one of the money orders.
 Revelstoke is on the summit of the Rocky mountains, very near the Pacific ocean, and is one of the coldest sections of the west. It is an express station of the Dominion Express company.
 It will be necessary that application be made through the governor of Georgia to the Secretary of State of the United States government for the issuance of extradition papers on the Canadian gov ernment and one of the secret service men of the. express company will go to Revelstoke and bring Hull back to the scene of his crime. he having been in- dicted by the grand jury of Chatham county, Georgia, for forgery and uttering a forged paper.

 If eggs are frozen put them in cold water to draw the frost out. If they must be boiled, put a little vinegar in the water and the egg will not run out of the shell.
 Eggs covered with boiling water and allowed to stand in 1t while cooking for 12 minutes are much more easily digest ed than eggs that are placed in boiling water and boiled furiously for three and a half minutes.
 Add leftover creamed smoked beef to scrambled eggs or wash the cream sauce off and add the beef to an omelette just before turning it over. It may also be chopped up and added to a dish of creamed potatoes.
 As hot water has a decided tendency to whiten cake, it follows that as sponge cake should be as yellow as possible. cold water ought to be used in the mixing.

GRATEFUL FOR ECZEMA CURE
Any Sufferer Can Write to Robt. Suss- man of Toledo, Ohio, for Full
 Information.

There are undoubtedly many frauds in the testimonials of medical firms-letters written by friends or even employees of the advertiser. But on the other hand. in some cases the testimonials are thor oughly genuine, gladly offered by promi- nent citizens, who are grateful for the cure.
 Such case is that of Robt. Sussman. a well known furrier of Toledo Ohio, who for years suffered with a severe case of eczema.
 He described his case as almost unen- durable. About five years ago he was in- duced to try the oil of wintergreen com pound known as D. D. D. Prescription for eczema sufferers. He has gone out of his way to find sufferers and to tell them of this remedy. He has done this without pay, of course, and without even having been requested to do so by the D. D. D. company. It was simply the fact that his health, his very life. had been re- stored that made him so enthusiastic. MT. Sussman recently wrote letter offering to write to any eczeman sufferer and to describe his case. If any reader of this paper should write MT. Sussman, we re- quest that self-addressed stamped enye- lope be enclosed.

The Spring Parasol.

For those who are going as far south as Florida and Havana there is offered charming new parasol called the Cio Clo San. It is quite flat. with a gilded framework and covered With lowered silk and a wide hem of coored chiffon.
 The shape and. design are copied straight from the paper parasol used by the Japanese.
 It leads the way for all the rest. The wide, flat shape is to be preferred above all others for the season of 1909. The framework differs from the American kind, which is usually made up of eight ribs. The new ones have Is ribs, all of which are gilded.
 Attached to the handle is a large orna- mental ring of ivory which slips up over the ribs when the parasol is closed and keeps it in compact form. This in itself is pretty idea and can be used on any parasol, old or. new.
 Colored chiatz parasos will be made on this plan for everyday country use. They have the IS gided ribs and the heavy rings of celluloid.
 Last summer the Paris women made the straw parasol the fashionable one of Europe. A scented African grass was used and the handle was of bamboo or natural wood These are in America now and possibly will be taken up widely for summer resort use.
 These parasols, like all the other new ones, have the long directoire handle added to the flat Japanese top.

Aphorisms from Balzac.


 An epigram is a book in a word.
 A prosperous friend has a bad mem ory.
 Every calling has conscience of it's own.
 Talent like gout. sometimes skips two generations.
 Mediocrity wages incessant warfare against superior men.
 We never quite know whether our friendships are born of contrasts or similarities. It would seem as though the passions were all partners in the matter of fol- lies.
 Hatred is a tonic-it makes us live, it inspires vengeance; but pity kills-it weakens our weakness.
 If money was coined round, it was meant to roll; but if it is round for spendthrifts, it is flat for economical people to pile 1t up.
 Nothing in life will stand more at tention than the thing that appears to be natural. We are always sufficiently suspicious of the extraordinary.

PUEBLO HIGHWAYMAN is
IDENTIFIED AS MURDERER

investigations of the past twenty
four hours by Chief of Police Ben
Coles make it practically certain that
C. C. Collins. alias Perkins, the crook
convicted of holding up street car
at Pueblo. Colo, is the murderer OF
James Baker, the restaurant employe
who was shot and killed in this city
on the morning of July %. The dis
trict judge at Pueblo, has deferred
sentence on Collins for the crime he
comitted there, until August 7th, in
order to give the authorities in this
city chance to cinch him for the
murder here, for which the penalty
would be much greater.
Almost Positively Identified
Collins, as he gives his name, has
been almost positively identified by
persons in this city, r. D. Davidson,
of the Wells-Fargo Express office,
says that he cashed an express mon
ney order for man giving his name
as c. c. Perkins, about July 21. Dav-
idson has identified the picture of
Collins sent Chief Coles by Sheriff
F. E. Mcmillan, of Pueblo, as that of
Perkins.
In addition, o. w. White. night
cook at the Meridian restaurant,
where Baker was killed, has also
identified the picture of Collins, even
to the minute description of the
clothes he wore. White says that Col
lins was the smallest of the three
men who made four different visits to
the restaurant on the night of the
murder, on one pretext or another
description tallies without a
single discrepancy with that given by
the Pueblo officers and is corrobor-
ated by a Santa Fe railway fireman.
