TWENTY SLOT MACHINES
TAKEN IN RAID ON BARN
Prosecutor Makes Seizure in
Place Used by w. r. Pitts
AS Storehouse.

With the prosecuting attorney and
his STAFF OF experts busiIy engaged in
the county, and the police department
hammerlng away in the city what
chance have the poor slot machine
owners and operators?
Prosecutor Shepherd. Assistant
Prosecutor Charles asnowsk. and De-
tectives High and Larkins, entered a
barn in the shadow of the Grand Riv-
crave police station, about 2:3O
O'Clock, Monday morning, and seized
20 slot machines, belonging TO w. r..
Pitts. Nc 81 Lincoln-ave., who, fear
ful of the activity of the prosecutor
out through the county, had called
them in from country points for safe
! keeping.
Mr. Shepherd was on the job quite
early, Monday morning, despite the
loss of sleep occasioned by the raid
cesstu seizure.
/ III has always been generally un-
darstood that il is not legal to seize
these machines when they are mere
ly stored away and are not in opera
ton, but we've got them. said the
prosecutor. 1T is up to Mr. Pitts. the
owner of the machines, to get them
back il he can, and am here TO say
that the sooner he starts somethin
the better | will like IT, The prose.
cutor's Office is quite prepared for
him, even IL he brings a charge OF
grand larceny against the prose
cutor."
The barn where the machines were
stored at No. +97 Willis-ave. west. Mr.
Shepherd would not disclose just now
how he and his merry men got into
the place. but he declared there was
nv actual breaking.
We entered. seized the machines
and departed, leaving everything just
as we had found it," he declared. "Or
dinarily, We do not seize machines in
the city, as that is entirely within
the province OF the police department
but these machines. want for eyi
dence. They had been used out in
the county. and were called in by
Pitts, VIII knoew if they were left ont
there, they would be seized. Well
they have been seized anyway Three
of the machines, | traced myself from
saloons out Gratiotave., last Friday
| want all these machines for evi-
dence, when the legal fights are
started
But why talk OF legal fights? What
does II matter, If some Of these slot
| machine operators are brought into
court fined a few dollars and let 90?
The fines that would be imposed upon
them would be mere drops in buck
ct. when the money they have made
from their machines is taken into con
sideration The thing is 10 get the
machines That's what hurts them.
Their machines mean money TO them
and they hate 10 see them 20.

LUCK OF A MINER.
What He Deemed a Disaster Brought

What He Deemed Disaster Brought
Him Fortune.
The miners of New Mexico tell q
queer story which illustrates their be-
lief in luck. A miner was trudging
along one hot day through a gulch,
with the sun shining on his back, when
he smelled smoke and presently. to his
dismay. discovered that his knapsack
was on fire..
Like all miners, he carried a large
lens for the purpose Of examining spec
linens, and for want of room he had
hung the glass on the outside and the
rays of the sun had been concentrated
on his pack.
AS among the contents were fifteen
pounds Of powder he lost no time in
dropping the dangerous burden and
getting as far away as possible. The
haversack fell between two big rocks,
while the miner from q safe distance
mournfully watched the smoke rising
from his sole worldly possessions.
Presently there came deafening ex-
plosion. and the miner went to gather
up what he could find. Then his eyes
almost started out of his head at see
ing the quartz that had been blown up
fairly glistening with gold. His pow
der had literally blown open gold
mine. and-he was made rich man in
an instant. He named the mine the

When Actors Do Not Face the hu;'!-
ence 1t Bothers the Deaf.
"Time and time again we're aS.;c |
to have our actors face the aud.c2
squarely when speaking lines that ":'t
of great Importance" theatrical
manager said recently. "The eXplana-
ton for the request is generally the
same-that deaf people in the audience
who depend on lip reading rather than
hearing lose the run Of the play If
some important lines are spoken by
person whose lips can't be read. An
actor or actress who's stuck on posing
in profile is always the despair Of the
deaf people in the audience, as they
say it's almost impossible to read lips
in profile.
"Out ticket agent hears another side
of the same question. People tell him
when buying tickets that some one In
the party is stone deaf and must read
the lips of the actors in order to fol-
low the play. Then they ask him on
which side Of the theater these par
ticular seats should be located to make
this lip reading the most satisfactory.
Often the stage setting decides which
way the actors must face, and II
deaf person gets on the wrong side OF
the house the play is practically lost"

''It is mighty hard" said an unfortu-
nate workingman some time ago to the
writer, Ito save up thousand dollars
by laying aside dollar or two a week

bank and lose 1t to a get rich quick
swindler, as l have just done" The
poor fellow could work and save, but
he had not had even kindergarten
education in finance, else his story
would have been different. He had
never given a thought to interest and
so was absolutely ignorant Of growth
through compound interest and. Of
course, had never heard of that won
derful process of accumulation known
as progressive compound interest"
One dollar deposited In Swings
bank that pays 4 per cent will a:nocnt

pie compound interest. Now, If you
deposit 81 every year for twenty years,
or $50 in all, the sum to your credit
will have grown to $30.97.
Any wage Garner can put by 81 q

ings bank for twenty years will have
increased to $1,G12. A deposit Of s.
week will have grown to $4,000, and
this at per cent will be $500 year.

AN IRISH LEGEND.
The Foxes Mourn When Head OF the
Gormanston Family Dies.

The Foxes Mourn When Head of the
Gormanston Family Dies.
Among the oldest families in Ire
land are the Gormanstons. 1t Is said
that when the head Of the house dies
and for some days before the foxes
leave all the neighboring coverts and
collect at the door Of the castle. This
strange phenomenon" writes q. L.
Humphries in the National Review,
occurred when the twelfth Viscount
Gormanston died in 1860 and again in
1876, when the thirteenth viscount
shook off this mortal coil. The four
teenth holder of the title died in 1907.
Inquiry was then made to test the
truth or otherwise Of the weird leg
end.
"The son, in letter published in the
New Irish Review, stated that when In
the chapel watching his fathers re-
mains prior to burial he heard noises
outside as Of a dog shifting at the door.
Upon opening 1t there was full grown
fox close to the steps and several more
around the church. The coachman con-
firms the presence Of the foxes; so
does another family retainer.
"The daughter Of the thirteenth sue
SCISSOR wrote saying that upon the Ill
ness of her father the foxes sat In
pairs under the bedroom windows
bowling and barking all night. and If
driven away returned.
"The family crest is a running fox,
and fox Is one Of the supporters OF
the family arms"

Queer Way These Tiny Creatures aes
Their Food From the Sand.
Curious little crabs, mostly about
the size of a pea, are found in abun"
dance on the shores of the Malay
peninsula. They are usually first per-
ceived on the beaches after the going
down Of the tide, when they give the
beach the appearance Of being covered
with loose, powdery sand and holes
of various sizes. Upon looking more
closely it is perceived that little radi-
ating paths converge among the litter
of sand to each hole and that the sand
itself is in minute balls.
At the approach of an observer there
Immediately becomes apparent Pc
culiar twinkle" which is nothing else
than the simultaneous and rapid re-
treat of multitude of the tiny crabs
into their holes.
Should one who Is watching these
curious little creatures take up his
position by one of their holes and re-
main perfectly motionless they will In
time come out, when he will be ena-
bled to see them at work.
Coming cautiously to the mouth OF
the hole, the crab will reconnoiter a
bit, and when satisfied that no enemy
is near it will venture about its own
length from its lurking place. Then,
rapidly taking up particles Of sand In
its claws, it will deposit them In a
groove beneath the thorax.
As 1t does so little ball of sand is
rapidly projected as through its mouth
This it seizes with one claw and de-
posits on one side. proceeding in this
manner until the smooth beach Is
covered with little pellets or pills
corresponding in size to its own di-
mensions. This is evidently its meth
