MAGPIE THIEVES ACC0MPLCE

Six thieves and magpie have been
run in by the Paris police. The bird,
true to it's instinct, was an active
member o1 the gang. 1t did not pur-
loin on its own account, but its help
was invaluable. The six thieves, all
under sixteen, chose supplemented
tradesman and entered his shop. The
bird was perched on the wrist OF one
of the boys, and did tricks, bowed.
danced and chartered. The ingenious
shopkeeper was amused. Suddenly
the maybe flew up and perched near
the ceiling, out of reach. The boys
and the shopkeeper started hunting
for the bird-not all the boys, how
ever, for one of them stopped behind.
near the till, and emptied it. A whis-
tie called the bird down, and bird
and boysh were off with their booty
The game seems to have succeeded
upon only one trusting tradesman be-
fore the gang, including the maybe,
was captured.

TALE OF HOMESICK PONY

Twelve years ago George Lawrence
rode from Menard county, Texas, to
a point in Louisiana, 20 miles west
of New Orleans. The animal ridden
was a native Texas pony. Several
times, shortly after his arrival in Lou
isiana, the pony got out of the in
closure where it was kept and started
back to Texas, one time covering 50
miles of the way before it was caught.
Early in January, this year, the pony
was missing, and was believed to have
been stolen Search was made at
the time, but no clue to the where
abouts of the pony could be obtained.
Then Lawrence got letter from an
old friend in Menard county, telling
him that the pony had come back
to the plains of Texas and had been
recognized by the brand. The animal
had gone 500 miles between the Lou
isiana point and it's old home in Me
nard county, finding its way back to
it's nativity after lapse of twelve
years.

NPTIES
Are Arriving in Large Num-

Activity.

EsATRAfonSr, Mar. 2t Mention
was made a5out ten days ago that
1t was i-offcialiy reported that
the mines in this section thar have
been on only about one-third OF the
dime for the last several months
would resume operation in full by
the first OF April or shortly thereat-
ter, when shipments Of coal for the
lake and eastern trade would be be-
I,gun and that the lake trade usually
opens about May /.
1t is now ofticially reported at
the Baltimore and Ohio headquar-
tiers here that this statement is cor
rect and that the road has now in
| Its local yards and on side tracks
nearby, hundreds, yes thousands, OF
empty cars returned here during the
last several weeks, and which are
being held ready to be delivered at
the mines to be loaded and sent for
ward. There is little, i any. doubt
but that in short while all the
mines in the Fairmont district will
DE on in full and that the sun Of
prosperity will shine brightly and
Iiull upon that section, and that
business will again resume as the
months go by.
FOR the mines in this section to be
operated only part of the time has
much effect on business in this city
and adjacent towns. This will be
good news to the people as whole
in this section, and coming from
a reliable source 1t can be depended
