but Elijah" had, prior to his death,
drawn upon 1t for one-half for use in
building Zion City, near Chicago.
A short time before Elijah" died,
went the narrative, he entrusted his
brother with the secret of the hiding
place, known to no other person, and
it was for the purpose of financing
an expedition to go after the buried
treasure that Doctor" Dowie and
Bishop" Schrader wished to find
$1,000.
At the time of reposing the conf
dence in the St. Joseph real estate
agent, however, he was not in position
to put up the money, and he began
to look for someone who would adj
vance the cash to him for a few
weeks, for it was said that the trip
to the island would not take long,
although it was stipulated by Dowie
and Schrader that it be made over
land to the coast of Honduras.
1t happened that the assistant pros
ecuting attorney of Buchanan county
heard of the proposition. He caused
a warrant to issue for the arrest of
the healers, and they were locked in

An hour or two after they were re-
leased from the jail the surety was
advised that the hea1ers had gone
across the Missouri river bridge. He
grabbed a shotgun, jumped into an
automobile and hurried after them.
They were oyerhauled at Wathena,
six miles west of St. Joseph, forced
to enter the automobile and return
and were then delivered to the iaiIer.

DROWNING AS A LIVING.

A remarkable association Of youth
full professional drowners and life
saving heroes has been discovered by
the Paris police. The number of boys
who have fallen into the river and
been rescued by their companions has
grown to such an extent in the St.
Louis district that the local magis-
trate ordered that the boys on the
embankment should be watched. AS
a result 13-year-old Louis Berbaud was
seen to let himself drop cautiously in
to the water, and the next instant two
OF his comrades sprang heroically aft
er him and brough him to land. Ber-
baud played his part to perfection,
and, feigning illness, was transported
to the salvage station. One of his
gallant rescuers remained with him,
while the other fastened away, as it
was afterwards ascertained, to give
the news to the newspapers In order
to obtain reward Berbaud and his
friends afterwards made a full con-
fession. Their association had
number of members, they said, but
they refused to give the names They
had found the profession a paying, one
as the heroes were nearly always
recompensed, and they always loyalty
shared their profits.

Aeroplane May Figure in Crime
as Well as in War.
Prediction That the Winged Burglar
or "sky Pirate" as He Might
Be Called, viii Soon
Be Here.

New York.-Now that aeroplane
companies engage to turn out a ma
chine for anybody at catalogue prices
and skilled pilots are counted by the
score and multiply from month to
month, those who have watched the
growth of aviation most closely are
specializing upon the probable appear
ance of the aerop1ane burglar, or Sky
pirate" as he might be called. He
Is not likely to be long in coming,
once the noise Of the aerial motor
can be suppressed.
The aeroplane's best friends have
to own that it's very virtues fit it for
a career Of crime. 1t goes fast and
far, it leaves no track behind, it can
escape from any pursuer except one
Of its own kin, and even then chase
would be a most uncertain one. Worst
of all, If the birdman is minded rather
like a vuIture than like an eagle he
can strike his prey in its most vul-
nerable part. The easiest access to q
locked house is to be had from over
head, as any city dweller can see for
himself If he will go up and look at
the door in his own roof.
A hinge of strap iron. or at best an
iron bar, fastened with a paddock that
would yield like paper to a sHilfully
handled Jimmy" is all that prevents
the ordinary trapdoors from being
lifted from without. Indeed. the roof
is the usual route of the robber of
vacant houses, and It is only the diff
fculty of reaching it that keeps such
crimes from being far more common
than they are.
Only one step more in aviation is
needed to make the aeroplane the
burglars mount. It must be made to
alight upon restricted space, such as
the roof Of a house, and to go up
from the same spot without difficulty.
When that time has come it is easy
to forecast what is likely to happen.
First the police will hear frequent
complaints that vacant houses have
been entered by way of the roof. Per

newspapers take it up and urge a
more stringent enforcement Of the
aviation laws.
One night rocket scars up over
the city It is the signal which every
policeman has been prepared to give,
and it points the culprit's line Of
fight toward the west.

Money for Tuberculosis work.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
gives forcible illustration of the way
in which small sum spent In educa-
ton has secured large appropriations
from state, county, and municipal Of
ficials. The New York State Chart
ties Aid association in the three years.
1908, 1909, and 1910, has spent in the
upstate portion of New York about
$4,000 in arousing the people to the
dangers of tuberculosis. AS a direct
result of the public sentiment pro
duced by this outlay, the state, coun-
ty, and municipal authorities have al
ready appropriated for tuberculosis
work $1,50o,00o and appropriations for
hundreds of thousands of dollars are
pending. Hundreds of hospital beds
have been provided, and the associa,
ton already aims for mo Uncared-for

Thus, the National association says
If $1,000,000 is realized from the sale

be added to it from the public treas
uries. Last year 25,00o,000 stamps
were sold It is aimed to sell four
times as many this year.

HEALERs LAND IN PRISON
Clad in Imposing Robes They Seek
Financial Help to Unearth Vast
Fortune. Which the Late "EIijah"
Was Alleged to Have Buried.

ST. Joseph, Mo.-A story of $4,000
600 buried on an island in the sea led
to the arrest here of the REV. Bish-
op" Schrader, who sometimes calls
himself Schlatter, asserting he is the
original divine healer" and Or.
James Alexander Dowie, who asserts
that he is a brother of the late John
Alexander Dowie of Zion City. The
original Schlatter, as divine heal
err" attracted wide attention at Den
yer a decade ago.
Dowte and Schrader came to St,
Joseph about two weeks ago. Clad in
imposing robes, they held meetings
nightly. in the streets and invited the
crowds to call upon them at their
rooms, where they undertook to heal
the sick by the laying on of hands,
free of charge.
One of the persons who accepted
the invitation to call upon Dowie and
Schrader was a local real estate
agent. and the healers, it is declared,
told him that if he had sufficient con
f1dence in them to entrust them with
$1,000 in cash, they would make him
a millionaire several times over The
real estate man had that confidence.
According to the tale said to have
been unfolded, upon pledge that It
would not be revealed to another nv-
ing soul, Elijah" Dowie had $4,000
600 in gold buried in an island in the
Gulf Of Mexico, off the coast of Hon.
duras. The treasure originally
amounted to s4o.Ooo,000. 1t was said.

on its hind feet, but has both rabbit
and cat claws on its front feet. She
has had three filters of kittens, but
none resembling her. She is sitting
up most of the time, and stands up
and walks around, when looking for
anything that alarms her. She catches
mice, frogs and bats. When neces-
sary she can jump six feet in the air
