An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned a,
the Birmingham police court by a pris.
oner who gave himself away in a very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list. and the charge against
him was merely one Of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
a few of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning. and a
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer a list of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about a dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner ex
claimed excitedly, That was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be
gan to laugh, and the prisoner, realiz
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side of the matter,
and a broad smile spread over his face
His blunder did not cost anything

Two Very Old Ladies'.

We have heard a great deal lately
about long.lived people. but 1t is prob.
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus.
sian Poland. and was born on Febru-
airy 81, 1855. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however. is nine months
her senior, having been born in May,
1884.
She is still a fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100. and these now
make her a Joint allowance. She lives
at the village Of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole Of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning Of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

Too Ardent a Lover.

Georgotto Fontano, an embroiderer
who lives in the Rue Sevres In Paris,
has found herself condemned to a
months Imprisonment for what seems
to her a harmless act.
She was going home from a concert
a few evenings & when she decided
she would like to see her fiance. AS
he happens to be q fireman whose
station is in her own ~neighborhood it
occurred to her 1t would be very easy
20 summon him to her side by break
ing the glass Of the fire alarm and
sounding a call.
She did so anr In a few moments
fire engines came from several direc,
lions, all laden with firemen, Of course,
but alas! her fance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire.
men were angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course Of true love Il unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for a month
in spite of her tears and protests that
she thought 1t would be a simple way
Of bringing her fiance to her side.

Planting Wedding Oaks.

Princess August wilhelm, wife OF
the kaiser's fourth son, has set herself
the task Of reviving one Of Germany's
oldest customs, that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately az
ter the marriage ceremony plant a cou'
pie of oak saplings side by side in q
park or by the roadside Of their ma
tive town.
The town OF M%ulchausen. In Thurin'
gia, Is the first to respond to the prin.
cess appeal. A municipal ficial ap.
pears ut the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him in a car,
riage to a new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by a former elector Of B~randenburG
with the object Of repairing the raw
ages caused by the 30 years war. The
elector forbade young persons to mar
ry until they had planted a number oil
fruit trees.

Two Battles Have Occurred One az

Mexico City, Mexico,-A report sent
by Gen. Navarro to Gen. Hernandez
at Chihuahua confirms the news OF
two engagements in the state of Chi
huahua one at Nal Paso and the other
at Pedernales. Gen. Navarro states
that the revolutionists attacked the
forces at Nal Paso and Pedernales
simultaneously. The general remain
ed at Nal Paso he reports until the
enemy had been dislodged from their
position on the hill in an engagement
that lasted two hours and then re-
tured to Pedernales with reinforce
ments for the force there.
He states that after fighting six
hours the rebels of whom there were
more than 1000 were routed CON.

graphed to President Diaz that the
government troops have won another
battle at Rancho Venegas.

600 troops have been landed here

lieved that President Diaz has insti-
tuted a campaign to crush the revolu-

ports that seem to be authentic state
the government is considerably wor-
ried over the situation in Chihuahua,
especially since the recent defeat.
1t was admitted by Gen. Hernandez
that the situation is grave and that
he will need at least 5000 troops here

kind of sugar produced in the human body by

Some OF the State chemists brought on by

called a "predigested" food because not all of
1t was digested outside the body.
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as "predigested."
Splitting hairs about the meaning of a word.
1t is sufficient that II only one.half OF the
food Is "predigested," 1t is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food In which no
part is predigested.

study Of food, food digestion and effects, and
the conclusions are Endorsed by many of the
best medical authorities Of the day.

Not AItouether Dead,

Mr.. Robert Butler Of Marlborough,
England. has had the peculiar expe-
rience Of hearing his death announc-
ed. He was attending the poor law
conference at Exeter when one Of
the delegates moved that. in conse-
quence Of the death of Mr.. Butler,
which they all regretted, another gen.
tleman, whom he named, should be
appointed to fill his place as n of
the representatives Of Wiltshire on
the central committee. Mr.. Butler
rose from his place on the platform

amid much amusement, that, so far
as he vas aware. he was still alive
and in good health, and would be
pleased to continue in the office II the
conference desired.

padded tube covering the axle bar.
Across this he lies face foremost, and
with wooden clogs strapped to his
hands he propels himself along the
rapid manner. He has complete SON.

COUNTRY BANKERS TERRORlZeD
Twenty-Five Robberies in 90 Days
Makes Them Want Bounty for
Bank Looters.

Topeka, Kansas.-Country bankers
Of Kansas, especially those in the
small towns, are terrorized over the
numerous bank robberies recently.
Insurance companies are cancelling
burglary insurance policies right and
left. The banking department, as well
as the bankers themselves, realizes
that something must be done to check
this form of crime.
Within the last 80 days 25 small
banks in Kansas City banking terri
tory have been robbed.
The Kansas Bankers association
has decided to join hands with the
Anti-Horse Thief league. The bank
ing department now is negotiating
with a couple of Kansas City detec-
tive agencies TO envolve a plan to stop
the robberies. 1t also will recommend
that the legislature put a bounty of
1000 a head on bank robbers, dead
or alive.

Vivid at Least,

DR.. Hiram c. Cortland, the we'll.
known theologlan of Des Moines, said
In a recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he
thinks the soul Is not immortal; but,
after all, what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte Is cleo
tricity and machinery. and when he
talks of souls he reminds me irresist-
IDLY of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how a locomotive Is made.
"'You pour she said, "A lot of sand
into a lot Of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and things into a furnace.
and they you empty the molten stream
into a hole In the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour it
out and let 1t cool and pound 1t, and
then you put 1t In a thing that bores
holes in 1t. Then you screw 1t to.
gether, and paint 1t, and put steam In
1t, and 1t goes splendidly; and they
take 1t to a drafting room and make
a bluep rint of 1t. But one thing | for.
got-they have to make a boiler. One
man gets inside and one gets outside,
and they pound fri%ghtfully; and then
they tie it to the other thing, and you
ought to see 1t go!'"

Bankers and Bank Notes.

Four men, three of whom were on
nected with brokerage concerns in the
Wall street district, were discussing
United States paper currency and the
disappearance Of counterfeits. I'VE
are 80 sure nowadays" said one OF
the party, "as to the genuineness of
bills that little attention is paid to
them in handling, except as to de,
nomination" To prove his assertion
he took a $40 yellowback from his
pocket, and, holding It up, asked who
could tell whose portrait 1t bore. No
n knew, and by way Of coaching
the broker said 1t was the first treas
urer of the United States. Again no
one knew the name. "Why, It's

Pretty Good Definition.

We hear some funny things in Fleet

definition of the height of aggravation,
by a gentleman in rather shaky boots,
whom we encountered In a ~well.known
hosiery the other day, struck us as
being particularly choice.

men," said this pothouse humorist, set
ting his pewter on the counter and
