CAPTURES VISITOR WITH BOMB.
Lawrence M. Jones, Of Kansas City,
Foils Man Who Demands $1,000.

Kansas City, Mo.-A desperate
man, armed with,a pistol and a dyna-
mite bomb, was overpowered by Law
renee M. Jones, a wealthy merchant,
in his home here. The man, who
gave his name as C. H. Garrett, had
demanded $1,000, and says he had In
tended to hold Mr.. Jones for ransom.
Garrett, who is about forty years
Did, appeared at the Jones home
shortly before noon and asked for
Mr.. Jones, who is president of the
Jones Brothers Dry Goods Company.
He was shown into the library. Mr..
Jones, upon entering the library, was
confronted by. the intruder's pistol
and ordered to be seated. The Wis
ltor then drew from under his over
coat a dynamite bomb, and explained
that unless Mr.. Jones gave him $1,000
he would Immediately blow up both.
In an endeavor to calm the man
Mr.. Jones talked with him over half
an hour. Mrs. Jones, feeling appre-
hensive on account Of her husbands

this point. The intruder ordered her
to be seated and the conversation was
resumed. Chester I. Jones, secretary

Gained and overpowered.

GREAT CANADIAN GLACIER.
Formation of Ice Archway IN Annual
Phenomenon.

Eight thousand and four feet of ice
high is the Yoho glacier Of Canada.
Since the first discovery of this larg-
est of Canada's glaciers it has main
tanned a grand archway of ice at its
lower extremity. The span Of this
arch is no less than $50 feet, while
from beneath the arch the drainage
escapes.
The formation of the arch seems to
be an annual phenomenon. Toward
the close of the summer 1t becomes
weakened by melting and the whole
structure collapses. The ice gradu-
ally is broken up and finally re-
moved, and the formation Of q new
archway is commenced.
From the archway issues the Yoho
River. 1t is calculated that an ava
lanche must have occurred in 1850
or 1860. Since then the retreat of
the glacier has been at the average
rate of five to six feet a year. From
August, 1901, to August, 1904, it was
found that the retreat had been Ill
feet, or thirty-seven feet a year. Be-
tween August, 1904, and August,
1905, the glacier receded but nine
feet, and it is now thought to be
checked.
About the nose of the glacier there
is evidence of a bodily disruption of
the rock strata, to which the term
"plucking" is applied. Rock layers
are ripped off where the layers are
thin tedded and pointed, and the
fragments are pressed into the ice
to assist in further work.
The Yoho glacier is an almost il
net entirely isolated example of a
glacier as a great engine of rosion.
Other glaciers move forward and are
engines of Observation-Disclosures

| street, and at least once a week Miss
| Dane and her mother were treated tt
a spin through the park or out into
the country.
The Dane home was one of refine
ment and culture. Before the death
of Mr.. Dane, the family had been in
easy circumstances. After his death,
some of the seemingly gilt-edge in
vestments had turned out to be
worthless, and the family had been
reduced, not to poverty, but to very
modest circumstances. Durham was
made welcome here, not because of
his money, nor yet Of his position,
but because of his true worth.
He appreciated his welcome, too.
For years he had been living alone
in his bachelor apartments, and the
touch of real homelife with which
he came in contact in the Dane home
was rather pleasing, indeed.
1t was one of these automobile
trips, when the mother had stayed
home on account of a severe head
ache, that the now prosperous stem
ographer spoke thus to John Dun
ham in low tones, so that the chauf-
feur might not hear:
Mr.. Durham, I can't begin to
thank you for your kindness to me
in my business. On the day you first
gave me work I had almost given up
in despair. When you came into my
office I was merely typewriting exer-
cises I had had at school so that l
might appear to be busy; and at the
same time I was wondering how
much longer I could afford to pay Of
flee rent and do no work. Now,
thanks to your kindness, I have to
employ a girl to help me-"
"You need not thank me, Miss
Dane" he replied. eff you had not
had ability, no n would have en-
ployed you the second time"
THAT may be true" she answered,
"but you helped them to find out my
ability"
Then John Durham did what some
may call a rash thing. You may
Judge for yourself. He leaned over
and whispered:
Don't you get tired Of being die.
tated to, darling? How would you
like to dictate to me for life?"
For a moment she sat very still,
Durham could feel her hand tremble
in his. Then she seemed to brace
herself, and, with just a little quaver
in her voice, 81 believe I'd like it
right we'll, John" she murmured.-

AncientS Loved OYSTERS,

That the oyster was in common use

ly shown by the discovery in the
Kitchen middens" of Denmark Of
many thousands of oyster shells.
showing every evidence of having
been artifcially opened. In ancient
Greece, also, the oyster appears to
have been a recognized delicacy, for
Dr.. Henry Schliemann, the eminent
German archaeologist-who. it will
be remembered, became an American
citizen during the great California
gold rush-in his historic search for
the ancient and somewhat mythical
city of Troy, found many oyster
shells in the ruins of the five prehis-
toric settlements of Hissark. But it
was Rome in the height of her power
and opulence that, by singing out the
oyster as the piece de resistance Of
the Roman banqueting halls, con-
ferred upon the oyster its just title as
one of the most delicious and appe-
tizing foods within the grasp of man.

MONEY AND THE CROPS.
Both Watched For Their Influence on
General Business.

Washington, d. C.-The CROP. re-
turns for the coming year will be
closely watched, because of their i'm
portant bearing upon the business
situation. With abundant crops the
revival which has now begun to set
IN will be fastened. Unfortunately,
developments in the agricultural dis
tricts have not been wholly favorable.
There have been severe droughts in
some of the Western sections, and the
strength of the grain market reflects
the fear that they may have some in
auenee on the wheat harvest. The
advances in cotton futures have been
lue to a lack of sufficient moisture

early to make any accurate forecast
even of the spring crop, but the bears
are beginning to cast about for some
hing to discourage the general OPP
;imism. There has been a slight adj
vance in the rate for call money, and
It. is possible that there may be some
further %stifening of rates as a result
If the withdrawal of Government de-
losits. The action of the Secretary
nas had a wholesome effect on the
situation, as it will force the with
1raWal of funds from speculation,
and will fortify the Treasury against
Withdrawals which may be necessary
during the crop-moving season next

Corot and His Poor Tenant.

Corot, the famous French painter,
had a generous heart and a whim-
steal wit. Corot and his sister were
joint owners, according to the London
Globe, of some house property in
Paris. One day one of the tenants
a tailor-came to Corot and said he
could not pay his rent.
What can I do for you?" asked
Corot. II cannot intercede for you
with my sister, because I'm not on
good terms with her"
AS a matter of fact, the great
artist was regarded as a failure" by
his family.
However" he added, after a
thoughtful pause, there's the money
to pay the rent; only don't let any
one know I have given it to you"
The tailor after that used to return
periodically when his rent was due
and obtain the money from Corot.
Il appear to be very generous"
the artist remarked on one occasion,
but I am not, because I get half Of it
back from my sister as my share of
the rent"

SONG.

When that I loved a maiden
My heaven was in her eyes,
And when they bent above me
I knew no deeper skies:
But when her heart forsook me-
My spirit broke its bars,
For grief beyond the sunset
And love beyond the stars.
When that I loved a maiden
She seemed the world to me;
Now is my soul in the universe
My dreams-the sky and sea!
There is no heaven above me,
No glory binds or bars
My grief beyond the sunset,
My love beyond the stars.
When that I loved a maiden
l w%orshiped where she trod;
But when she Glove my heart, the cleft
Set free the imprisoned God;
Then was l king of all the world,
My soul had burst its bars
For grief beyond the sunset
And love beyond the stars.
