$500 in Wallet Lies in Gutter
Three Hours While Crowd
Watches.

Joplin Herald.
M. R. Crabtree, a St. Louis sales
man, chose fortunate time to lose
his wallet here, and as the result of
his unintentional selection of April
Fools day for the incident recovered
his wallet, containing $500 in bills,
three hours after he dropped it in
front of the Connor hotel.
Climbing into an automobile for a
short excursion into the mining dis
trict as the guest of Joplin friend,
Crabtree dropped his wallet from an
inside coat pocket. 1t fell into the
gutter.
The loss was observed by perhaps
twenty men and boys, who were
standing or sitting outside the hotel
door. Thinking the loss was inten-
tional, and merely an April FOOLS
trick to cause them to exhibit Curl
osity, none who saw the wallet spoke
Instead they watched it in silence,
expecting to see some person pick it
up.
For three hours, while Crabtree
was gone, the wallet with its valuable
contents lay undisturbed in the gut
ter. Many gave it passing glances,
but none would risk the laugh by
picking it up.
Returning from his ride, Crabtree
left the automobile, stepped over the
pocketbook and passed into the hotel,
ignorant of his loss. Observing his
apparent indifference to the article he
had dropped, the watchers became
more determined not to investigate
the wallet.
Going to his room, Crabtree wal
Mortified to discover he had lost his
valuables. Rushing out to the street.
to search his friends automobile, hi
found the wallet lying in the gutter
Opening it, he extracted big roll o.
yellow-backs. The watchers decided
the laugh was on them, after all.

All the coal mines in the Rich Hill
field as well as all those in the South

souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas, will be idle to-morrow-the big
strike threatened, will be on. The
operators claim they cannot grant the

out a loss, and the miners refuse to
work unless this is given. One Rich
Hill operator said to-day that by this
evening the miners will have their
rooms cleaned up and would remove
their tools from the mines. He ex.
poets the mines to be closed at leas,

Wife Governors Joke Censor.

Atlanta, Ca, April. when your
wife laughs at one OF your jokes you
can afford to tell it in crowd" said
Governor Joseph Brown in making
denial of the statements in weekly
paper that he rarely laughs and never
jokes.
"Mrs. Brown says that | am the
biggest joke she knows anything
about" said the Governor. "But
she is only a woman, and is not sup
posed to know everything. But she
is a woman of good judgment, for
she laughs at my jokes.
81 don't believe in assault and bat
terry upon a joke. There are SUBJ
tier kind of jokes people will appre-
ciate as well as the other kind. If
laughter really made a man fat, as the
old saying, Laugh and grow fat,
runs, then | ought not to be able to
enter the the door of a house.
The Governor is really fond of a
joke. He likes to joke about his ugli.
ness. This particularly appeals tc
him, because he says the homely par
ty is the strongest in any State anc
that, politically, LONELINESS is a strong
asset.

The Boy With the Bad Temper

AHC Ivy WIN VIC OoQ 1CAlpCKs
Chicago Journal.
A news dispatch from Hattiesburg,
Miss, tells Of the suicide Of a young
man who, cursed with a bad temper,
had frequently made violent attacks
on other men, eliminating with a
knife assault on a creditor.
The uncontrolled bad temper is
akin to madness. Fired by liquor,
aroused by opposition, it carries death
in its train.
The man with a bad temper was a
boy with bad temper. Frequently
a boys bad temper is due to the inn
patience or ill-temper Of adults who
direct his daily life. Children should
be treated firmly, reproved in calm
tones, punished Il punishment be
necessary, deliberately and with no
appearance Of haste or anger.
The making Of a child's temper Is
practically in the hands Of his parents
or guardians. Theirs Is the original

LONDON, November 17.-An apparent
~ inspired statement, issued today, fixes
November % as the date for the dissolu.
ton of parliament.
The government, it is asserted, designs
to pass the budget before appealing to
the country. the debate on the financial
measure proceeding in the house Of COM
mons while the lords are discussing the
veto bill.
That the American dollar and the
Irish dictator" will figure largely in the
unionist campaign was indicated by the
excitement at the annual conference of
conservative associations at Nottingham
this morning. when Henry Chaplin,
unionist member of parliament for VIM
bledon and former president Of the local
government board, in an opening speech,
denounced the government. which. he
said, was handing over the rule Of the
country to the sworn enemy Of England,

COMMITTEES OF LUNATICS
MUST ACCOUNT TO COURT
Rule Similar to That Governing
Guardians Of Minors to Be
Put Into Practice.

The Supreme Court of the District Of
Columbia, in general term, has passed a
rule requiring all committees Of lunatics
to render accounts to the court within
the next thirty days. unless they have
properly accounted within the past year.
The rule further requires that In future
such accounts shall be rendered an
nually.
The practice OF requiring guardians Of
miro. children to file annual statements
has long existed in the Probate Court.
There has been no rule as to accounting
by committees. except that they report
as to funds coming to hand within thirty
days Of their appointment.
The necessity for rule requiring from
committees accountings similar to those
required OF guardians, was brought to
the attention Of the court in general
term by Corporation Counsel Edward H.
Thomas and Attorney Frederick A. Fem
ming, who stated that experience in cases
Of this nature convinced them of the de-
