Toulouse police had for stock in trade
n beautiful antique cabinet and con
siderable stock OF audacity. with
these they took, for a short lease, Il
historic chateau near Toulouse, In
stnlling venerable old lady to play
the part of owner. Then they found
n collector of antiques, persuaded him
to visit the chateau and sold him the
really valuable cabinet at good
round price, After the bargain was
concluded they invited tho victim to
lunch, and while he was eating the
meal the real cabinet was replaced by
perfect imitation, which the victim
carried off with him. The swindlers,
before their arrest, succeeded In selling
their cabinet thirty-three times, at
prices varying from $500 to $4,000

When Animals Are III.

Said n prominent veterinarian: "An-
finals when sick are the most helpless
and npprccintlve Of all creatures, and
the way Of administering relief and
medicine IN many instances is as novel

revengeful animals during spells OF Sc

tractablc as child. Relief must come
from human being, and come quick
Iy, and they seem to know It. The
most vicious horse when grooming

administer relief, and many of the
wild animals when In sickness seen,
to forget their savage instincts"
