Thief SNATCHES PURSE
FROM LADY
CAPTURED BY POLICEMAN HOW
AY WHILE MAKING STRENU-
GUS GETAWAY.

A screaming woman and a flying
purse snatcher caused no little commo-
tion Saturday evening on Second
street, in the vicinity of Spaulding's
store.
Mrs. William Gunter and daughter,
who reside on Blodgett creek, arriv-
ing in town had hitched their horse
and started down the street, the young
lady in the lead. She was almost par
alyzed with fear when a burly figure
appeared in the dusk, grabbed her arm
with one hand and attempted to Sc
cure her purse with the other. She
clung to the purse and the fellow de-
sisted and fell back, but almost i'm
mediately renewed the attack. The
mother coming up began to scream
and the thief ran, darting east
through the alley. Chief Bishop and
Policeman Howay were soon on the
scene, Howay pouncing on his man
when he appeared on Main street,
near the steam laundry.
The fellow was lockd up in the city
jail, giving his name as Swan John
son. He appeared to be somewhat in
oXicated. A charge of highway rob-
berry was booked against him and his
preliminary hearing has been set for
next Monday before Justice White

There was once a poor youth who

reduced to two bottomless chairs. a
bed of straw, a dirty table, a scaly
lnkstand and a rusty portable furnace.
The youth, who was called Luper.

IL was that Lupereio suffered great
hardships, and when In going into the
street to buy a bun or a few cents
worth of milk, he passed some pretty
girl, neat and w~elldressed, burning
bushes dyed his face. In order TO

OPPORTUNITY CAME AT LAST
Credit Mar Devised Good Scheme,
and a. q Result To-Day Occupies

| II wasn't 30 long ago that Jerry
| didn't have any more money than Q
setting hen. He had a Job as n OIL
the credit men for a big downtown
bank, says the Cincinnati Tfmes-Star
New York correspondent. but he had
had that Job for a long time without
the oficials realizing that he was
there. Then he got a Mrs. Jerry, and
the need for more money became
pressing. He put his wits to work.
something he had never done before
In all his joyous life. Mrs. Jerry aid
ed, and the pair of them figured out
o scheme which called for patience
Every night Jerry brought home a
copy of every evening paper. He SAT
up until midnight, marking every item
that had anything TO do with business.
If Nose Goldstein bought a S200-lot in
the Bronx, that fact was noted. II
Nose had to pay his wife alimony,
that fact got a pencil check across
It. Next day, while Jerry was at the
bank, Mrs. Jerry wore her pretty
fingers to q FRAGILE clipping those
Items out and arranging them in en-
veiopes. That scheme went on for
than two years, and jerry was
never called on to make use Of 1t in
such q way that the bank bosses could
note the fact. Then the chance came.
They called him into a directors meet
ing. Every one sitting about the ma.
hogany wore a worried look. Jerry"
said the president, except that he
called the young man by his full name
and prefixed il by Mister" here is
some expense money. Go out and
find out all you can about Mr.. Fee
dinck."
An hour later Jerry, putting, walked
into the presidents Office. In one
hand he had a fat envelope, containing
he newspaper stories printed about
the unfortunate Fedinck during the
last two years. Jerry modestly told
what he had been doing. The bunch
of clippings had every pertinent fact.
To day Jerry has d private secretary
and a force of clerks under him, and
Mrs. Jerry has a wad of bank stock
in her own name. The Clipping service
maintained By that particular bank
is considered the most valuable part
OF their credit system. Tie moral is
obvious.

It suddenly occurred to him that in
himself was the remedy for all the
ills In the world. Lupercio, who was
sad, sad unto death, Caught up his
pen, buried 1t in the ink, passed it
over a scrap of paper, and there APP
peared uneven lines, the first he had
ever written. When he had finished
his poor writing. he saw by the dim
light or the lamp a strange insect,
bright and dazziing-a jeweled but
terfy-perched on his inkstand. It's
abdomen was an oriental pearl, of
emeralds its breast, its wings of
rubies and diamonds, and at the end
of its feelers two diamonds of great
purity. The most enchanting thing
about the butterfly was. that although
of jewels, 1t was yet alive, for when
Lupercio stretched out his hand to
catch it, il few away and alighted

And as the light emanated from the

when the rusty pen was dipped into
the Ink, and the uneven lines ap-
peared on the paper. The butterfly
| returned, and thip time ii converted
the garnet into u tropical garden, fun
of orange trees and palms. where
African maidens offered Lupercio cold
water In red Jars ornamented with
lines OF gold and silver. So at Its
habitual conjuration, the butterfly
transformed the home of Luperoio
now into an ocean grettc. with naiads,
eorals and sponges; o into a polar
sea. with its aurora borealis; now
into a court of the Alhsmora, with
myrtles and fountains Of marble.

impelled by his good fortune, des-
cended first from his garnet 10 the
second moor, afterward from the e
ond to the first and then decided to
build s. beautiful palace on the shore
of the sea, in Italy, There were in
1t gardens, salons, tapestries, bro
cades, carpets, objects Of art, in fact,
all that Lupercio had dreamed of in
the garnet Of his youth. Yet his wife,
his children. his friends, his servants
saw him thoughtful, detected, undone,
and noted that from day to day his
disposition was becoming sour and
overcast No one could explain the
change, because nc one knew that the
jeweled butterfy-the magician of the
garret-which had also frequented the
second floor, and even honored the
floor below, did not deign TO rest its
little jeweled feet on the border of the
palace windows, always open in sum-
mer and winter in order to give it
free entrance.
Lupercio, from the beautiful marble
balcony which overlooked the garden,
and from which could be seen the ex-
panse of the Bay of Naples, heard the
of the waves and looked up
at the stars as If he thought some of
them might send down the butterfly.
The stars twinkled indifferently, but
gave no token Of the wanderer. Lup-
ercio opened hundreds of bottles of
wine-of the kind which In the early
days tempted him as a dream never
to be realized-but in the bottom of
the glass he never found the jeweled
butterfly. He ate pomegranates with
smiling beauties, and neither in the
midst of the red seeds was hidden the
perverse butterfy-it of the ruby
wings.

PLEASANT FOR THE MINISTER
Meek and innocent Young Man Made
the Unfortunate Victim Of
Circumstances.

Senator James B. Frazier, at a ban
q~uetsin Chattanooga, said of a certain
lawsuit:
The discussion was misunderstood.
Harmless, it gave an impression Of
harm. 1t reminds me of Mountain
View Beach.
"A young matron, her unmarried
sister and her little daughter sat at
one side of the long table at a Noun
tain View hotel, and opposite them sat
a meek young minister that the child
for some unknown reason greatly
feared.
One evening the young mother
wanted to go to the beach to see some
fireworks with her sister, but the lit.
tie girl refused to be left alone. She
screamed and wept. So it was decid.
ed to brighten her into Submission by
means of a trick.
For this purpose the young sister
slipped out, then came and knocked at
the bedroom door, and said in a fero-
cious bass voice:
I" What's the matter In there?'
The child Stopped crying and
looked frightened. Her mother said:
" Hush. That's the parson, Now.
will you go to sleep?'
This trick succeeded. Mother and
sister got off to the fireworks. Every.
thing seemed well.
But at dinner the next day, during
q silence that had fallen on the long
table. the little girl looked over at the
young minister and said tauntingIy In
