A TREE THAT WEEPs.

During the driest months of the
Rhodesian year-August, September
and October tree called by the
natives Mukololo exudes moisture in
large drops from its topmost leaves
and gives the traveller who happens
to be standing in the immediate vi
cinity the impression that shower
Of rain is falling. When the natives
see one of these trees dripping they
say: "The mukololo is weeping for
rain" Even during the hottest day
the tree weeps copiously.

HIDES CRIME WITH BIBLES.
But Andrew ButI1us' Sins Send Him to
Prison.

Leavenw orth, Kan. May S1.-An-
drew Butkus, who was sentenced by
Judge Lands to serve thirteen months
for counterfeiting, and raising bills is
in prison here. When sentence was
passed the prisoner broke down and
cried in court, telling the judge that he
had turned counterfeiter for the pur-
pose of obtaining money enough for
medical treatment for lame leg.
Butkus was recently arrested in a
Chicago department store, where he
was trying to pass a raised 81 bill in
payment for a pair of shoes. When
taken to the federal building and
searched eighteen alleged counterfeit
quarters were found in his possession.
He told the officers that he had been
selling bibles but did not make enough
money to support himself. The officers
found half a hundred bibles stacked
neatly in a corner of the room and on
the center table were two half gallon
jugs of whisky. The bibles in the cor
ner were moved and underneath them
was found a neat case containing a
new set of dies and tools A number of
coins with which the prisoner had been
experimenting were also found.

BOYS FIND MAY FREE HIM.
JeweIry Declared Stolen by Horton Is
Found Under Porch

JeweIry Declared Stolen by Horton Is
Found Under Porch.
Medicine Lodge, May S1.-Because
there Is ground to believe that George
Horton is serving term in the kan
sas penftentiary for a crime he never
committed and knew nothing about
until he was arrested, efforts are be-
ing made to secure his release. Hor-
ton was sent to the penitentiary nearly
a year ago from Barber county for
breaking into the jewelry and drug
store here. If Horton is guilty. it is
believed that there is another just as
guilty as he is.
After the store had been broken
into the owner secured a bloodhound
and the second time he was tried out
the dog took up a trail and went to
the house where Horton was rooming.
No jewelry was found in Horizons
room nor in the house. There was a
shoe track at the rear of the store
that corresponded with the shoes worn
by Horton. The shoes were introduced
in court as evidence and the shoes and
the fact that the dog trailed Horton
led to his conviction.
1t was after Horton had been con-
victed that some workme1 found some
of the stolen jewelry under the Cen
trail hotel. In all its travels in trail
ing Horton the dog did not go to the
hotel. A careful search was made I'M
der the hotel and no more jewelry
was found. But after Horton had been
taken to the penitentiary a small boy
crawled under the hotel one day after
a cat and found a tin box in which was
hidden all the rest of the jewelry-
about $3.50 worth.
Horton had denied from the start
that he had any connection with the
robbery and that he knew anything
about the robbery until he was ar
rested.

KEEPS vow; STORE is CLOSED.
Eighteen Years Ago Peter Roubidoux
Locked Up Building.

Wallace, Kan, May S1.-Eighteen
years ago Peter Robidoux's store was
the largest between Kansas City and
Denver. One day he sat from early
morning until late at night and not
customer crossed the threshold.
That night Robidoux closed the store
and vowed never to open it again. He
kept his word, for since then no hu-
man being has entered the place, and
the $4,000 stock of general merchan-
disc has remained there a prey to
moths and rust. He double-locked the
doors, boarded up the windows. Peer
ing through the cracks in the boards
covering the windows one may see the
shelves flied with goods, showcases
full of expensive cutlery, kegs OF nails
that have long been out of fashion,
piles of clothing upon long counters s.,
do1,x ona of the wealthiest men in
wallace county. with thousands Of
acres of land and cattle on hundred
hills. often his sons have tried to pre-
vail upon him to open the store and
sell for what it is worth what remains
of the merchandise. But Robldoux Is
a determined man.

FOUR MEN DIsFRANoH1sED.
Il. n. G. Members Discharged for Not
Attending Inspection.

lola. Kan, May S1.-That there is a
great deal of difference between fail
ing to attend a state inspection of the
militia and a federal inspection was
proved when Captain Leigh Hunt re-
ceived orders to discharge promptly
dishonorably twelve members of Com
pany NJ who failed to attend the fed
eral inspection held at the Armory in
this city on April 8. A dishonorable
discharge is a very severe punishment.
and Captain Hunt sent in explanations
for the absence of the members, with
the result that the number to be dis
honorably discharged was reduced to
four, and Captain Hunt was ordered
to deal with the remaining eight as he
deemed best.
A dishonorabIe discharge disfran-
chises the offender. and bars him from
holding any public Office.

MAY GO ON STAGE
Peter Sharp and Wives Sought
by Vaudeville Agents.
EnOch Arden Fears He Would
Get Stage Fright.
HIS WIVES LIKE IDEA
Perhaps, Aged kansan Says,
He Will Write Book.
Does Not Give Bigamy PrOsecu-
ton Il Thought.

Pittsburg, Kan. May 31.-Peter G.
Sharp, the Enoch Arden of Pittsburg'
is seriously considering offers from
theatrical men of Chicago and New
York who want him and his two wives,
Ann Catherine and Louisa. to siga con-
tracts for the summer vaudeville sea-
son. He is also contemplating writing
a book of his life's history, which he
says, he may later have dramatized.
Sharp is undecided Just what to do
about his theatrical offers. He. declares
he would get stage fright of he
should appear before an audience, but
his two wives are satisfied that they
could carry out their part of a stunt"
to perfection. 1t may be that Sharp
will accept one of the offers.
May Write Book.
Il don't know what to do about
them,' he said today. THAT sort OF
a life never appealed to me but if l
find that | can make a good living at
it 1 see no reason why l should not
undertake a tour. But whether l en-
ter the vaudeville world or not L be-
lieve 1 will write a book about the re
union of myself and my first wife.
1 am satisfied the story would be far
more thrilling and interesting than
many of the so-called best sellers or
todya If 1 find that the book takes
well I may have some of my friends
dramatize it for me-"
The Sharp home in the suburbs is
the center of attraction here these
days. All day men and women, afoot,
and walked by the little house. Many
even went into the yard and begged
for q drink of water from the family
just to get glimpse of Sharp ana the
two wives. None of the trio seems to
object to being seen and nearly all OF
the afternoon they sat unoer the Trees
in their yard.
Sharp was asked what he would do
if some one would cause his prosecu-
ton on a charge of bigamy. He SAID
that phase of the situation never had
appealed to him. ---
Law Won't Hinder.
az don't see why 1 should turn one
of the women into the streets. just be-
cause there are two of them" he said
"Of course, the law would not recog-
nize Louisa as my wife. But during
our married life she has been good to
me and 1 don't know of any reason
why 1 should force her to leave.
Sharp's first wife Ann Catherine,
who returned home from Oakland, Cal,
the other day after 40 years separa-
ton. says her husbands idea OF the
case suits her exactly. So far as she
is concerned, she says, Louisa may
have a home with her and her nus
band so long as she cares TO remain.
So far there has been nothing I'M
usual at the Sharp home to mar the
relations existing between the Two VIZ
men and their common husband There
have been no quarrels and each or
the wives is as considerate OF the reel
ings of the other as could be imagined.
both are positive that they will dwell
in peace and happiness all of their lives
lust as they are now.
But if they don't Sharp declares, ne
will build a home for one of them

ever one moves. he says, Will be care

OF course she screamed, and with a
quick movement which extinguished
the tiny flame the burglar vanished in
the darkness.
Two other robberies netted better
results. A burglar entering the home
of Sid Parsons and escaped with $17

Alfred Eek lives next door to Par
sons. His home was also entered and
his trousers carried from his bed room
to the sitting room down stairs. They
contained $500 and this was gone.
