representing the amount of public funds
he had on deposit at the Virginia Safe
Deposit and Trust Company at the time
of its failure several months ago. was
the decision handed down in a suit before
the circuit court in Richmond yesterday.
This sum covers taxes collected by Mr.
Robinson, and as the money was in

tom in similar cases, he is held person.
ally responsible for it. Realizing the
fuulity Of attempting defense, Mr.
Robinson did not appear in court yes
tcrday. In addition to the Common

Robinson lost a considerable sum per-
sonally through the trust companys

An attempt will he made when the
next Legislature meets, to put through
a bill looking toward the relief Of Mr.
Robinson. At this time, however, it is
not possible to determine the exact loss,
owing to the fact that the receivers for
the concern have not yet arrived at
any conclusion as to the amount the
bank will be able to repay to its de-
pOsitors.

Boarding House Keeper
May Sell Patrons Beer

That the proprietor Of a boarding
house may keep beer in his house ana
sell the same to his boarders at cost
price without violating the liquor IL
cense law, was the verdict brought by
jury in the. United States branch Of
the Police Court yesterday afternoon
in the case of Louis Muller.
Muller was accused of selling beer
without a license. When he took the
stand he testified that he kept the
beverage in his house merely as con-
venience to his boarders and that he
sold 1t to them at cost, no one outside
of the house being allowed to purchase
any. 1t was merely a friendly agree
ment, he said, and not a matter OF gain.

1t didn't take me long to discover
that Anne knew more about who had

QUEEN VENUS.
Orbit, Mass and Gravity Of the Planet
Twin of Our World.

Mercury is the nearest of known
planets to King Sol, but Venus comes
next, and in eccentricity of solar orbit
an eccentricity having an average of
about G7,200,O00 miles-iS the least il
regular of the planets. The distance
of Venus from our earth also varies,
with IN average or mean Of about o.
100000 miles@at her nearest, the aver
age distance Of Venus from our earth
being. approximately 160,000,000 miles
at her farthest
Queen Venus may be called the plan
ct twin of our world, since her mean
diameter and that of our earth are
nearly equal. Nevertheless the differ
ence of some 200 miles in their diam
eters leaves Venus with about 92-100
of the terrestrial volume. Venus mass
or weight approximates S2-1O0 Of
that of our planet, and, dividing 80
100 by 92-100, we get S9-100, which is
Venus density compared with the den
sity of our earth. Venus gravity ap-
proXimates S2-10O that of our planet,
or, in other words, a terrestrial body
weighing 100 pounds would weigh only
eighty-twO pounds upon the surface of
Venus.
Queen Venus exhibits phases like our
moon, but possesses no moon herself
She presents bright and thickly
clouded appearance and has an atmos-
phere which is estimated to be from
one and One-half to two times as dense
as our own. This beautiful planet was
seen, of course, by mankind in pre-
historic ages. but the earliest known
record respecting her was in CSC B. c.,
u record engraved upon earthenware
now in possession of the British mu-
seum.-New York Tribune.

ANNE'Sl
INFATUATION

By ENIMElINE B. WEIGH
Copyright by American Press Asso-
citation, 1911.

When my friend Agnes Hughes died
she left her daughter Anne in my care.
Agnes. though we had been intimate
friends. was older than l. and she was
still young at her demise. This brought
me midway between her and her
daughter. When assumed the care of
Anne she was sixteen years old and /
was twenty-six. 1t was very pleasant
for both of US that we could be COM
panionable
Anne was a good girl. and I had no
trouble with her whatever for two
years; then, she being Of marriage
able age, l began to worry. A gentle
man. Frederick Darlington, nearly dou-
BILE her age-he was thirty two-began
to pay her attention. After ALL thirty
two is still young for man. and Car
rington was young for his age. On this
account l opposed him for Anne, be-
cause l preferred to see her marry
some dignifed man Of prominence
either in business, in profession or in
politics.
didn't know whether Anne liked
Darlington well enough to marry him
or not She usually confided all her af-
fairs to me, but this one she kept to
Siherself. 1t was this reticence in the
matter that led me to believe she had
given him her heart. The only way l
could hope to circumvent the man was
to keep him away from Anne. and l
must effect this without seeming to do
SO. for If the two got it into their heads
that l was opposing them their attrac-
ton for each other would be enhanced
by my opposition.
During the winter resolved to give
a house party at my country place. I
invited Wilbur Crawford. young man
Of whom l approved for Anne. and left
out Fred Darlington, of whom did not
approve for her. When Anne looked
over the list Of guests she asked:
"Whom are you going to invite for
yourself, auntie?"
my dear" replied. "old maids don't
need to invite any one for themselves"
l didn't know whether Anne had
anything to do with it or not. but
while my guests were assembling
who should drive up from the station
and with two trunks-but Fred Car
rington. I confess I was astonished
and must have shown my astonish-
ment in my expression.
Anything wrong about my invita-
tion?" he asked. coloring.

Because it was written in hand

Germs In tho Teeth.
Everybody knows in general way
how important it is to give the teeth
a good cleaning and to rinse the mouth
out first thing in the morning. The
object, of course. is to remove the ac-
emulation of bacteria which gathers
on the teeth. gums, tongue and palate
during the hours of sleep. How many
germs do you suppose accumulate dur
ing the nights sleep? In answer to
this question e. c. Bousfeld. writing
in the London Lancet. gives some in
teresting and rather startling figures.
which are worth quoting. He states
that he has found the mouth on walk
ing in the morning to obtain about
3.00OO0O.00O bacteria capable of being
removed by Il fvefold rinsing with
twenty-five cubic centimeters of water
each time After ordinary washing of
the teeth with hard toothbrush
