Tho Great Vidocu.

Vidocq, the great French detective was born in Aras in 1775. He began life as a baker and early became the terror of his companions by his athletic frame and violent disposition. At the same time he was notorious thief, and after many disgraceful adventures he enlisted in the army. In 1796 he re- turned to Paris with some money. which, however, he soon squandered Next he was sentenced at Lille te eight years hard labor for forgery. but re. peatedly escaped. and in 1908 he be came connected with the Paris police as a detective. His previous career enabled hiu, to render important sery, ices, and he was appointed chief of the safety brigade. chiefly composed of re prieved convicts, which purged Paris of the many dangerous classes. In 1918 he received full pardon, and his connection with this service lasted un- til about 1928, when he settled at St. Mande as paper manufacturer. Soon after the revolution of 1880 he became a political detective, but with little success. In 184S he was again em. ployed under the republican govern. ment, but he died penniless in 1857.

The Donkey on the Stage.

IFS curious" said theatrical man. ager who had experienced many ups and downs, "how the stage develops jealousies. l once had show on the road in which 1t was necessary to make use of horse and a donkey We got the animals well trained fof their parts, and on the opening night they gave a first class performance On the following night, however, we were unable to get the donkey to move out of the wings. Prince, the horse, went on without any trouble whatever, but Jack-that was the name of the donkey-could neither be coaxed nor driven out before the footlights We finally had to go on with the perform anue with the donkey left out. After the show was over we got together and tried to find out what had been the matter. Nobody could offer an ex- rlanation until one of the stage hands happened to pick up program. which showed that Princes name was print cd in the same kind Of type we used for Jack. We got new lot of pro. grams the next day with the donkey's name printed in type which was near ly twice as big as that which We used for the horse. After that we never had the slightest trouble" ."-Chicago Record-Hera]d.

BOOMING HIS TOWN.

Hsw . Young Board of Trade Prsslden,
 "Made Coed" With the People.
 Systematic town boosting is fea ture of American business activity which aims at the general good instead of personal profit One western town had a board of trade which had slept along for years without doing anything m particular, except eating some food once a year at a banquet and listening eo some spread eagle oratory, says ths Pittsburg Dispatch. Tho organization became moribund, and its presidency was an honor no longer sought tor The directors met and gave the place b a young man of the type i've like to encourage" The young man took his job seriously and went to work. IL wasn't long before he grew an idea O. his own.
 Every family that moved to town hs spotted. Employment was provided for the breadwinners where necesser. and the new people were made to fee 1t home. When this personal atten tion had got in its work, representa-. i've of the board of trade interviewed the head of the new family. This in terv1ew was incorporated into a letter nimeograph copies were made, put intc stamped envelopes and made ready ts mail. Then the letters were taken t. the newcomer. and he was asked tc address them to his friends "baci east" The scheme worked like magic and the population boomed. Of tha; idea many new ones were born. The young man has been several times re elected president of the board of trade and he can have anything the people oe that town can give him.

Moroccan Red Tape.

Official correspondence in Morocco Is couched in a very fowery and fam. boyant style. It Is interspersed with variety of meaningless adulatory phrases that tend to confound the real meaning of the epistle. For example an order to the minister of finance to contract loan begins thus:
 "In our present letter God increase his power and make the glorious sun and his moon glitter in the Armament of his felicity we have authorized our incorruptible servant (here follows name) to contract in the name and cn the behoof of the treasury (heaven f1l lt) loan of -" etc.
 Considering that the "incorruptible servant" is flching as much as he pos sible can from the treasury it is cer. tainly necessary to pray that "heaven i'll it."-London Graphic.

New York, Oct. 27.-When Mrs.

Hundred and Sixty-third street, Man
haitian, took the stand in Justice
Greenbaum's part of the supreme court
in her suit for separation from Sculp-

being to show by them the sudden
change of heart that the sculptor TN
derwent after a trip to the Canadian
forests in the summer of 1908, the year
the couple separated.
"We were married in Paris in 1882"
Mrs. Elwell said. "In 1904 we moved
to Weehawken, where Mr.. Elwell had
bought a house.
July 2, 1908, Mr.. Elwell wished to
close the house so he could take a va
cation in Canada and suggested that
he and his wife go to Cambridge to
visit an invalid sister,
Mr.. Elwell wrote a letter to his wife,
in which he said:

was severely wounded at the battle
of Fredericksburg, was treated by DR..
Bigelow, who did nothing but keep the

for this purpose a little plug of carrot,

BURGLARS Get Into the
Wrong House In New York

DESPERATE ATTEMPT

New York, Oct. 27.-Two burglars
broke into the four story marble and
brick mansion of DIR. Walter B. James
at II West Fffty-fourth street, evil
IDENTIFY installing the house for that
occupied by John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
at 13.
Although the burglars were fright
ened away before they had time to
gather up valuables that they had
seized on the top floor, their advent
caused a lot Of excitement and frantic
calls for the police.
The attempt to rob the house was a
desperate one. The burglars first went
to the roof Of DIR. James, house and
then managed to Jimmy open a win
dow at the rear Of the top floor. The
window Is several feet from the roof,
so 1t Is supposed that one burglar held
the other head downward while the
window WAS being opened.
There was nobody at home In DR..
James house except the caretaker, q
woman. Her investigations showed
that everything of value on the floor
had been gathered together In readi-
to be carried away.

FORGET ABOUT
A STATEMENT
Henrietta Lynch Denies Sign
ing Paper Absolving An
derson on Charge.
ARE IMPLICATED

A statement signed by Henrietta
Lynch, purporting to absolye from a
serious charge Howard Anderson, or
420 Lawton place, was submitted to
Recorder PickersgilI as evidence last
| night when Anderson was a~rraigned.
! The statement implicated several
other young men, yet after signing it
In three places the girl denied any
knowledge of It's contents, saying
that she had attached her signature
after Anderson had promised to aid
her financially.
Anderson is the youth who was
shot 1T several times Monday night
by Joseph Lynch, a stone cutter, OF
379 Barclay street, father of the girl.
Lynch. armed with a warrant issued
by Recorder Pickersgill several
weeks ago, was deputized a special
officer to locate and arrest Anderson.
Monday night he met him at New
Brunswick avenue and Washington
street, and emptied the contents of a
revolver at the youth.
Anderson says he was held On the
ground and shot at, the timely aid
of Patrolman RymarcZyk alone say
ing him. He attempted to prefer a
counter-charge against his assailant>
last night, but the recorder refused
to entertain it when Lynch said he
had fired the shots only when Ander-
son attempted to elude capture. His
office of special policeman authorized
him to carry a weapon, but Recorder
Pickersgill notified him last night
that his duties in that capacity we're
at an end, and that any further use
of the Weapon would be followed by
his arrest.
1t is said that Lynch's only inter-
est in the affair is to collect $40 from
Anderson for a physicians fees. He
has dfsowned his daughter, it Is said,
on her refusal to part with the child,
and she is now making an effort to
secure support from Anderson.
The youth pleaded not guilty last
night and submitted the statement
as evidence. His brother, Henry B.
Anderson, admitted drawing up the
document, and handing 1t to the girl
to sign. She affixed her signature
three times, yet when the recorder
asked IL she was aware OF its con-
tents she replied in the negative.
Anderson was released in $500
bail to await a hearing Monday night.
In the meantime Lynch or his daugh-
ter will secure the services of City
Attorney Hommann, and Anderson
will engage counsel. d
