Has Confessed

A transient furnished considerable
amusement In municipal court this
morning. Weary Willie was not up for
drunkenness, In fact n Of his chief
complaints was that he did not have
the w~herewithal to quench his thirst.
Weary was thoroughly disgusted with
life. He declared that working In the
harvest field and then paying board
during rainy weather was too much.
He wanted to end his worry and re-
quested Judge Sullivan to give him
forty years at Saltwater. The request
was sorrowfully refused and Weary
went his way lamenting.

Samuel Gompers. Allen Heaney, an

Oswego Times and secretary to Con-
gresham Luther R. Mott Representa-
tive Berger, the only Socialist every

the great charitable work being done

Statue of FIR. Stafford
May Go on Church Lawn

Should the efforts being made to pro-
cure a site for a large bronze statue OF
the late Rev. D. J. Stafford be unsuc-
cessful. 1t Is probable the memorial Will
be erected in front of st. Patrick s
Catholic Church, of which he was the
rector. Twenty thousand dollars have
been raised for the statue, but efforts
for months to secure a site have been
unsuccessful.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the question Of IN appropriate loca-
ton has been negotiating for site at
Sixteenth and New Hampshire avenue,
but have decided 1t will be impossible
70 close the deal. The owner of the site
will not dispose of it unless he can sell
his entire plot of ground, and this is too
big a proposition for the statue commit
tee to handle.
Although he does not know the opin-
ion of the other members of the COM
mittee, John Joy Edison stated this
morning that he favors placing the
statue in front of the church II another
site cannot be secured

VXTASHINGTON.-Though the ways
w Of graft are many, and many are
the grafters, probably the most con
temptible and most plentiful in this
class are those who prey on ignorance
and poverty. The Department of Jus
tice has undertaken with notable sue
cess a war against those swindlers
OF our citizens. but It has not yet en-
deavored to protect the immigrant
anxious to become a citizen. Perhaps
our lawmakers are to blame. AS an
illustration of this misuse L. Click

years labor to purchase transporta-
tion to the United States for some
relative in foreign land The un-
derstanding is that he will go by di-
rect route from the country he is leav-
ing to his destination. OF course the
agent may overcharge. This may be
called legitimate graft, as he has to
meet with competition, and the over
charge does not amount to much. But
that is not all The emigrant, wheth-
er he be Italian, Jew. Greek, or an
other, receives his ticket; sells what
little belongings he has and presents

1t is the intention to cruise to New

Later 1t is expected the strange craft

Among the features of the new sub
marine are hydroplanes. These cor
respond to the planes of an aeroplane
They are assigned for the purpose of
steadying the boat and holding 1t even
when under the water. Another fea-
ture is the drop keel, which weighs
several tons, and can be released in
case Of an accident, thus adding to
the buoyancy of the vessel. On the
bottom of the boat are wheels calcn-
lated to protect the bottom when the
vessel drops down to the bed of
the ocean. Various other features are
important in the construction Of this
type of submarine. Enough storage

a moment to feel Of the spavins on
our lower limbs and look longingly
back toward where we had left the go
devil. Then Kidder suddenly and in a
clarion tone uttered the magic word
that has wrung more manly hearts
and thrilled more manly bosoms than
almost any other in the human Ian
guage:
"Ducks!i"
l hastily dashed the cruel tears from
my eyes and gazed aloft. Yes-there
they were-about four dozen of them
but higher than the price of apples
at a Greek fruitstand. We carefully
noted their altitude, velocity and orbit,
speculated as to their age, weight and
destination and otherwise thoroughly
enjoyed the spectacle.
We had no more than got the crick
out Of our necks when a second dele
cation Of fat and saucy goslings cut
the zenith in the wake Of the advance
guard. It became plain that If we we're
to get any ducks at this particular
point we would have to go back and
get larger guns. Something about six
inches across the muzzle and shooting
in the neighborhood of half-keg of
fine nails might have brought home
the meat, but our twelves wouldn't
even dent their complexions.
After surveying another cornfield we
hitched up our surcingles a notch and
paced 1t back to the auto. We next
journeyed several miles west and
south, aiming to locate the spot from
whence the ducks were coming.
Flocks of prairie chickens, fat as but
ter and with crops filled with good
Iowa corn, taunted us as we flew past
several fields. We took another long
look at our license, throttled down
the buzz-wagon and started in to stalk
a band Of twenty-seven saucy stubble
ducks over to the left.
We had made a beautiful sneak for
half the distance, when Kidder got an
other jack-rabbit rise. Somewhat to
my surprise and disgust Kidder let
drive a handful of number fives into
the nearest portion of the Jack, which
caused the aforesaid to execute the
prettiest somersault ever witnessed.
Hastily picking up the jack we
crammed him into the rear end of Kid
der's huntlngcoat, leaving only his
head, hind-quarters and several limbs
protruding. We then glanced up and

CARRIES FORTUNE TO GRAVE
French Mlser Named Anglade Secretes
Wealth Under Armplts Before
Death.

A miser named Anglade, who died
at Pau recently carried part of his for
tunue with him into the grave and hid
the balance in order to prevent any
one else using the money.
Throughout his life Anglade's only
ambition was to amass money, a Paris
correspondent Of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says. He virtually starved
himself in order to save as much as
possible and his only fear of death
was based on the regret that he could
not take his possessions into the next
world.
He steadfastly refused to give his
relatives any information about his
possessions and after his death his
wife made a systematic search of the
house, with the result that $625O was
found in gold and bank notes secreted
in out-of-the-way places.
