SIMPLE SIMON
met A MAIDEN
They Had a Beer and Then They
Had Another and Then She Had
Simon's $145.

II was o'clock Thursday afternoon
that dreamy-eyed maiden gazed into
Simon Ross's one good optic. Softly
she murmured To Simon, who Is 10
years old, which Is old enough to know
better. "Oh, you kid; let's have a
beer"
II was almost noon Friday that
Simon came to police headquarters to
complain that he was minus just S145.
II had vanished along with the
dreamy-eyed one.
Simon halls from Vanderbilt, Mich.
He hadn't seen his brother since 1872
and he was on his way TO glad re-
union. He stopped or In Detroit and
from his description OF his sojourn
here, IL was some stop. In fact II has
put a complete period on Simons
plan TO lock hands with his brother,
who is cutting down trees around Lake
st. John, Canada.
Simon is a lumberjack himself, In
spite OF his 20 years. He says he
hasn't been In Detroit In years and
years. Therefore, he thought he was
justified In dropping into one of our
gilded cafes. He hadn't been there
very long before the lady came and
conversed with him anent the beer.
She even bought one and so did
Simon. After a bit they began to ex-
change condolences and Simon entered
into the history OF his life. He told
her how he lost one eye. He said he
had had fight with bear. He was
fully armed, but the rude animal
knocked his gun out OF Lis hands and
then knocked knife out Of his grasp.
After that, the bear inserted one Of
his paws In Simon's left eye and Simon
hasn't been able to do thing with
that eye since.
The lady wept eloquently at this
distressing recital and opined they'd
better have another. Simon says she
certainly did sympathize with him.
He says they bid each other an affec-
him most pleasant journey and hoped
he'd find his brother well.
"Gol darn it," said he at noon Fri
day. Il wuz only with that critter
an hour, but she's got me plumb bust
ed. hain't got red. There wuz
$145 In my wallet and the hull things
gone"
The detective bureau has agreed TO
write back TO that dear old Wander
bilt to see II the boys will raise
enough money to take simon back TO
the wild He will notify his brother
that the reunion Is indefinitely post
poned.
Simon says he Is a stranger in these
parts and couldn't tell where the cafe
In which he met the dreamy-eyed one
is located.

This was done, not In the interest

helms backed by the great Rockefeller
financial interests.
The duty on lead in the tariff bill
passed the house. was $50 a ton. The
duty on pig lead, or lead bullion, was
the same. The bill came to the SEN
ate and was referred TO the commit
tee on finance, OF which Mr.. Aldrich
Is chairman, and was reported back
with the duty on pig lead increased
from $50 TO $42.50 ton, making diff
ference OF $3.50 between lead In the
ore and lead bullion. Therefore, ac-
cording to the Republican national
platform and campaign pledges. $12. so
ton should measure the difference
in the cost of smelling lead in the
United States and In our competing
countries.
Edward b. Rush, general manager
of the American Smelling & Refining
Co, an organization which controls 80
per cent of the lead smelters OF the
United States, testified before the
ways and means committee OF the
house that the entire cost of reducing
lead from ore to bullion from actual
figures ranged from $685. to S10.05 a
ton. No witness before the ways and
means committee gave as the entire
cost OF smelling a greater figure than
$40 ton.
"A most vigorous effort was made
in the senate to reduce the duties OF
the senate bill back to those provided
in the house measure, but without eff
feet. To protect our struggling Ameri-
can industries a duty, not measuring
the difference in the cost Of smelling

HERE'S A DEEP MYSTERY.
Party In Mortgage That
Clouds a Title 10 Known.

A decree was entered by Judge Muir
fin Friday morning declaring null and
void mortgage which clouded the
title to several lots owned by Levi E.
Dean, Stella Dean and Elfreda Cooley.
There is considerable mystery about
this mortgage which lawyers for four
years have sought to unfathom, but
in vain. In October, 1906, j. NJ. Young,
of Toledo, filed a mortgage which ran
TO M. G.. Dolan, of Chicago, covering
4S lots on Kirby-ave. west and In that
section of the city. Young never
owned the property, and who Young
Is no one has ever been able to learn.
Dolan In also unknown. Whether
Young ever made anything out of the
deal Is also a mystery. The filing OF
the mortgage was unknown to the
owners until they came to sell, and
then they learned they were unable
to give a clear title.

JEFFRIEs SCORES COP.
Patrolman Acted az Bouncer In His
Own Boarding House.

Police Justice Jeffries is perfectly
willing that Patrolman Henry Brow
should make all the arrests that he is
capable OF making, but he draws the
line when 1t comes to Brow acting as
bouncer for his wife's boarding
house. The officer had arrested Verne
Cole, one of his wife's boarders. for
paying too much attention to a young
woman boarder.
Patrolman Brow carefully explained
to the court that one OF the rules OF
the boarding house was that the young
men must be most careful In their at
titude to the young women. He said
that Coles actions toward one young
woman were distinctly in violation OF
the rules. The young woman In ques-
ton appeared in court and spoke a
few kindly words for Cole.
In dismissing the case, Justice Jeff-
ries advised the officer to be more
careful in making arrests.
