Ironv Lost Case for Lawyer.

In his early days at the bar the late
Lord Bowen prosecuted a prisoner who
had been caught in house at night
crawling downstairs with his boots off
and carrying portable property. The
evidence was so overwhelming that
Bowen ventured to indulge in a little
irony and remarked on the thoughtful
ness Of the prisoner in removing his
shoes, thus disturbing nobody, and in
selecting only solid silver articles from
the plate basket, so that the family had
enough forks and spoons left for break
fast. The jury was so impressed by
these extenuating circumstances that
it acquitted the prisoner. Bowen never
employed irony again when addressing
a jury.

The Wedding Rinu,

The little circlet of gold, so dear to
q woman as the token of the affection
of the man she loves, has its origin in
very ancient times. It's very shape,
without beginning or end, is symbolic
of constancy, and indicative Of the
true and lasting love which is the foun-
dation of a happy union. Thus the gift
of ring has come to mean more than
an ordinary gift of friendship with all
nations, and so important an event as
the giving of an engagement ring has
in some districts given rise to superstt-
tious obserVances.
In former times the ring was given
at the betrothal, and was then worn on
the fourth finger Of the right hand, till
the bridegroom transferred it to the
fourth finger of the left, at the instruc-
ton of the priest, on the wedding day.

Aqonizinq Death.

How men meet death was subject
under discussion among little party
of doctors. Some gruesome tales were
told One man, a surgeon on hos
pital staff, said:
LAS a rule, however, death comes
peacefully enough and rather as re-
lief, an easing off from pain and trou-
BILE. But had notable exception the
other night A burly Russian in my
ward, who had been terribly crushed
in the mills, was dying. 1t was in the
middle Of the night watch. The lights
were low. The nurse on duty was with
me in the other end of the ward, when
the silence was broken by great,
fierce cry. We whirled about just in
time to see this huge bearded man
leap high in the air, turn over and
strike the floor with a terrible impact.
We ran to him. He was dead"

ANTS DESTROYERS OF FLIES
Why 1t Is That Inhabitants of the
Philippines Are Free of One
Insect Pest.

Capt. Percy L. Jones of the army
medical corps, reports that flies are
comparatively rare in the Philippines
because of a species of ant which con-
sumes the larvae of the fly with
avidity.
Upon watching these ants attack
fly larvae" he says, sit is interesting
to note that they do so in a way
which proves that they are no novices
at the procedure One will attack an
extremity and apparently bite it, and
as soon as the larvae begins to coil
and make efforts to escape numbers
of others will Immediately jump upon
1t, and in the course Of a few mo-
ments the larvae will be apparently
dead.
81 believe that the ant introduces
some venom in the act of biting,
formic acid in character, which pre-
serves the larvae as food until such
time as the ant needs it-cans it, in
other words. AS soon as the strug-
giles of the larvae have ceased they
haul it off to their nests and return
for others. In many instances I have
seen them carry away pupae. It will
be interesting for the reader to pro-
cure a few maggots and place them
over an ant bed"
So far as is known this species of
ant Is not found in the United States
and indeed is not yet classified Cap
tain Jones has considered the prac-
ticability of introducing it into coun-
tries where the determination Of the
fly is destined to become an impor-
tant feature Of sanitation. This ant
is said to be an energetic destroyer
of bed bugs as we'll as Of f1ies.-FTom

nations; ten $4,000 bills, ten $4,000
notes, the others $1,000, in all 40 bills,
that, folded tightly, could be carried
in a mans vest pocket without bull
ging.
F'itzgerald's reputation and assur-
ance carried him easily through the
repeated rigid examinations to which
he was subjected; he suggested that
workmen temporarily employed in the
subtreasury had contrived to reach
the money piled in his teller's cage.
He was dismissed from the treasury's
service The secret service men went
to work.
Two years ago it became known
that Fitzgerald had bought home I'm
Rogers Park, a suburb, and gone in
the poultry and egg business. He as
serted he got the $4,000 needed from
his brother-in-law and his wife.
The state authorities arrested Fitz-
gerald and accused him Of the theft.
The secret service resented this med.
ding. Subtreasurer Boldenweck took
the witness stand and-knew, abso-
lutely nothing. Judge Chetlane dis
charged Fitzgerald
AS if to emphasize that the mys-
terry of the crime could never be pene-
trated. Mr. Boldenweck appealed to
congress to relieve him and his bonds
men of the loss. A bill in his favor
was passed at the last session.

MONEY CLERK IS
At LAST ARRESTED
LONG PURSUIT BY SECRET SERV>
ICE MEN ENDS IN SEIZURE
OF TELLER FITZGERALD.
CASH WAS $4,000 SHORT
After Vast Sum Disappeared From
Chicago Subtreasury Prisoner IS
Said to Have Organized Big In
dustres Requiring Large Capital.

Chicago. = George W. Fitzgerald
formerly teller in the United States
subtreasury here, was arrested on @
warrant issued by Judge Lands Of the
federal court, which charges Fitzger-
aid with stealing $4,000, which van
ished as if by the wave of a MAJ
gician's wand, from his cage in the
subtreasury February 20, 1907. Since
then the secret service agents have
never lost sight of Fitzgerald.
The Indictment as read in court
specifies four counts. Three charge
embezzlement and the fourth charges
larceny. Under these charges max
imum sentence Of ten years in fed
eral prison or a fine equal to the SUM
embezzled is the penalty on convic~
ton.
The federal statute of limitations
protected Fitzgerald after the three
years which expired February 20 last.
But the warrant on which his arrest
was made was issued early last Febru-
airy, before the statute of limitations
could throw a shield over him. When
confronted with the warrant, when he
read it's date, like flash he recog-
nized the persistent watchfuneSSi
with which the secret service had
sought to entrap him.
What new evidence the secret serv~
ice agents have discovered whether
he has changed one of the $4,000
bills that vanished or has been specu-
lating or investing heavily, was not
divulged.
Fitzgerald had been employed in
the subtreasury for seven years in
1907; his reputation was the best. AS
teller he handled $1,000,0O0 a day i'm
an establishment which carried $780,
100000 from day to day in it's i'm.
penetrable vaults. The teller's steel
wired cage was impenetrable, too; no
one but he could unlock it. When
he went to luncheon on that raw
February day he locked the cage.
Soon after his return Fitzgerald
told his superior, William Boldenweck,
that $4,000 was missing. An exami.
nation showed quickly that the MISS
ing money was of the largest denomt.

Lima CavaIieri, "Europe's Most Beau

New YOrk.-RObert w. Chanler,
who went abroad all audible with JOY
to marry Lima Cavalieri, the beauti-
full Italian opera singer, is back home
looking like a farmer who had in
vested his all in a spurious gold
brick. If this great-grandson of John
Jacob Aston, one of the builders of

beautiful woman in the world might
not have turned him out upon the
world to make his own way with
paltry allowance of $40 a month. The
world has lately been absorbed in the
amazing story of how the beautiful
Italian singer entered into a sordid
matrimonial alliance, with the club
man, artist and society leader, the
chief condition of which was that he
should sign over to her property worth
100000,
Then, when the honeymoon was
scarcely over, she learned this was
all he had She had promised in the
MdI mage dSISSlnSuC W 1udhO pAONA0
ion for him if he should become de-
pendent upon her. She kept this part
of the contract by giving him 100
francs $500 a month-they were liv-
ing in Paris-and telling him to
paint pictures and sell them if he
needed more. AS $40 would probably
pay little more than Chambers cigar
bill, not to mention keeping him in
clothes, and as selling pictures was
not as easy as painting them Chanler
soon found himself in hard lines. The
blindness of his infatuation for the
woman quickly gave way to second
sight and he began to realize into
what a ridiculous predicament he had
placed himself.

would cable her final answer to him
