w ASHINGTON.-One of the mighty
w few instances on record Of the

It's cash accounts came to light at
the treasury department the other day
In decision handed down by the con-
troller of the treasury. In this par
t1cular instance the government Is
short more than $4,000 and has no

too, was not criminal in it's nature.
Prior to 1879 the late Samuel ].
Little Of Georgetown owned four Ger
tificates of 6 per cent. stock of the
old corporation of Georgetown. Upon
his death he left life interest in the
stock to his sister, Mrs. Eliza A.
Ricketts,, and the residue to his minor
children, J. c. Little and Julia A.
Little. In the settlement of the case
before the probate court the actual
possession of the four certificates of
stock was passed to Mrs Ricketts,, so
that she might collect from the treas
urer, from tine to time, the interest
due her.
Shortly after this United States
Treasurer Gilfillan issued a circular
calling upon all holders of George

HE Postofice Department daily re-
! ceives hundreds Of complaints
caused by the losses of packages and
money. Mails are easy to rob, but few
postal thieves ever escape final de-
lection: they are sure to be entrapped
and punished in the end. While speak
ing of these numerous complaints, an
old detective, called inspector. of the
Postoftice Department said: mo
thief is harder to catch than the one
who robs Uncle Sans mail The
methods of such thieves are ingenious,
the plumber is easily hidden or de-
stroyed. and their rascality is well
masked by the honesty and integrity
of associates.
"Postofice thieves are not arrested
every day, although valuable letters
and other articles are stolen almost
daily and an army Of shrewd inspec-
tors are on the alert. Positive proof
of guilt must be in the possession of
the inspector before an arrest is made.
C,rcumstant.al evidence does not go
at any time with us. 1t is an estab-
iished rule that the evidence must be
positive and direct. In almost every
case an arrest means conviction.

TROUT ALMOST KILLS A DOG

long-haired, but it isn't any more.
The other morning it went fishing.
Short said no, but the dog said yes,
and then it took flying leap and
with a bobwow of delight landed in
the center of one of the pools Of
Frank Drumboller's trout hatchery on
the Tranquility turnpike. The
dog was bit hungry, and when 1t
jumped it had it's gaze fixed on a
large trout that had been basking in
the sun, with one eye on Skip and
the other on a bread crumb near by.
The dog had long, shaggy coat
when it entered the pool 1t had
seen but one, and had no means of
knowing or even suspecting there
were 5000 other trout in the same
pool, all full grown and hungry, for
1t was feeding time Scarcely had
Skip struck the water when it began
to bark for nelp. Short and Drum

The thousands of trout had mass
ed themselves about the dog, and
swimming around and around had en-
quilted him in perfect piscatorial
whirlpool Occasionally one of the
large fish would make a side leap
and take a bite at the dog Skin
was in a bad way when the men ar
rived. The silent mass of fish grad
ually would have forced him under
the water. He had gone in long
haired, but came out like a hairless
Mexican dog. The secret was that
Skip suffered from a skin affection,
and his master had rubbed him with
olive oil, appetizing to the fish. So
they almost skinned him.

WILD DEER KICKS A MAN

Carl Muller, member Of party
Of politicians returning to San Mateo
CAL, from Halfmoon Bay, tried to
capture deer single handed near
Aqua lake. The deer kicked Muller
on the chin, rendering him uncon
scious, and made it's escape.
Five deer were in the road when
the automobile party, of which Dis
trict Attorney J. j. Bullock was q
member, approached. No one in the
party was armed, but Muller con
ceived the idea of capturing one OF
the animals alive
He jumped from the automobile
and sneaked up to the herd. AS he
got within striking distance of a
young buck the animal let fly its
heels and caught Mr.. Muller squarely
on the chin. That ended the chase.
1t was five minutes before the deer
chaser could be resuscitated and the
trip resumed.

was the trst government cook book
ever printed.
This was not altogether so. 1t Is
true that it was the nearest approach
to real cook book, but the depart
ment has printed all sorts of receipts.
The social science series has been
running for more than decade, and
has, incidentally, taken in various do
nestle problems in the food line I'M
der the head of Nutrition Investiga-
tions.' The earliest of these was one
on the composition and cooking of
meats, issued nearly IA years ago. OF
this there has been something over
half million copies distributed.
But the most popular of all the bull
letins was the recent one on 1.-The
Economical Use of Meat in the
Home" This has been out only few
months, and there have already been
distributed 100000. Calls are still
coming in rapidly.
The series comprises books on all
sorts of subjects-the preserving of
fruits and vegetables, fish as food, the
care of milk in the home, the value of
peas, beans and legumes In general as
food, the cooking of vegetables, and
more than dozen other subjects

when not under suspicion of theft he
may be watched outside Of business

money than his salary will permit. It
sometimes happens that an inspector
may not be able to prove a man a
thief, and the fellow Is turned loose
with a verdict OF not guilty as his
certificate Of honesty. but he is not

for great temptations surround them.
as they handle millions Of valuable

soon learn to tell by the very touch
of letter whether it contains money
If so inclined it would be an easy mat
ter for the dishonest clerk to slip
letters into his pocket and open them
in the privacy of his room. That the
cases Of dishonesty are comparative
ly few Is a high tribute to the moral
qualities of the postofice clerks.
There are but two successful WAYS
to catch postof1ce thief-constant
watch and decoy letters. With these
and a large supply of patience. the

WHETHER the high price Of food
w is causing the public to take an
uncommonly keen interest in domes-
tic problems now, or whether the
cause Is something else, the officials
of the Department of Agriculture do
not undertake to say. The fact re-
mains that there has been greater
run upto date on the so-called social
science" series of bulletins than on
any other pamphlets the department
has ever produced.
Up to the present there has been a
total Of 16,672,0OO bulletins distribut-
ed, Some now out of print have been
applied for so often that it is prob
able the estimates for next year Will
include provision for reprinting.
This government is the only one in
the world that has gone into the bust
ness Of printing cook books. 1t was

quisite piece of work. The rest Of
the statues are practical caricatures.
There is one of Fulton, who is seated
in a chair with piece of machinery
in his hand. He lops all over the
chair, his legs are sprawled in all
sorts of ways, and it is about as woe
begone piece Of marble as can well
be imagined. There is marble Of
Webster, whom everybody knows was
him regular giant. There is a
statue of John J. ingalls,, the only one
as yet sent by Kansas. and excepting
that it is like line, has neither
breadth nor thickness, which was a
good description of Ingalls,. 1t is the
limit for ugliness. There is statue
of Frances Willard in a basque and
ill-hanging dress, which bears not the
slightest resemblance to that dainty,
sweet-faced woman. There Is a statue
of Phil Kearny in bronze, which is
very pretty to look at, but has very
little artistic merit, and there is one
of Shoup, of Idaho, which. looks as
though it might have been sandpa-
pered out of piece of marble. And
then there is Washington, a dapper-
little darling with sloping brow, as
fashioned by Houdon.
The Washington newspapers some
time ago began a crusade to have
the law placing statutes in Statuary
hall by the states repealed. 1t is to
be repealed on the ground that the
hall is already TANNED to overflow
ing, and if any more statuary Is pre-
scented 1t win be necessary to make a

other week, where woman named
Charlotte Berdulli was arrested out

and three alarm clocks, a small size,
two watches, and eight brooches of
small value were found in a specially
made pocket inside her skirt.

reptile family which does not appear
IN the encyclopedia, At least that
Is the opinion Of men who claim to
be authority on snakes and their
habits
The discovery was made by Duane
Kerr, farmer, while at work on a
piece of wild land He unearthed a
nest of snakes and by the use of dy
Mantle killed FIVE of them. The
largest measured seven feet five
inches. The snakes are of black
ish color and distinctly notified.
Kerr was terrified when he heard
a loud Kissing and looked up to see
the head Of huge snake projecting
from a nearby stump. He then got
the dynamite, inserted it in the root
and the explosion which followed re-
vealed five snakes, which, when
placed head to tail on the ground,
measured more than IS feet.
