TAKEN FOR ABDUCTION
James Cartwright Rust, son of
wealthy Virginian, has been ar
rested at Washington, D. c.,
charged with the abduction of
Miss Elizabeth Maloney, II, of
2226 N. 50th av.
An investigation into Rust's
past, which may connect him
with other abductions, and posi-
bly, violations of the white slave
law, is being conducted by federal
officials.
Rust is p years old and mar
ried. He represented himself as
single man to Miss Maloney. He
induced her to elope to Michigan
with him.
There he took out marriage
certificate and told the girl that
this was all that was necessary
for a legal marriage. A week
later he deserted her and Miss
Maloney returned to her home,
broken in health and spirit.
Her parents told the story to
Mrs. Laura Abel, an officer of the
Chicago Juvenile Protective AS
ISOLATION. Mrs. Abel learned that
Rust had told the girl to write
him care of general delivery" at
Washington.
At Mrs. Abel's request, Miss
Maloney wrote to Rust. Mrs.
Abel informed the federal author
tiles. When Rust came to get the
letter he was arrested.
Rust broke down when he was
taken to jail. He is now held in

PAID $5oo-RID OF WIFE
Peter Oesterreicher, 2o56 West
Twenty-hrst street, has at last
got rid of the wife he thought
burden tohin.
Oesterreicher loved his wife
until a graye-faced doctor told
him she was dying with conSump-
ton.
Then he sent her to the home of
her brother, Joseph Steppe, 1888
West Twenty-frst street, with
message that he wanted nothing
more to do with her.
So Mrs. Oesterreicher brought
suit against him for support. So
weak that she had to be carried
into court, she told her story
there, between sobs.
She still loved her husband, she
said. She still wanted to live with
him, but he would have nothing
to do with her. So she asked only
one thing of him. She wanted
enough money from him to pay
her way to her home ih Hungary,
that she might die there among
her owR-people.
Oesterreicher appeared in court.
He said he had no money, that he
could not afford to pay his wife's
way to Hungary. The court or
dered an investigation.
It was found that Oesterreicher
owned property worth $500. He
was called into court, and ordered

OLD FRIENDS ARE WITH US
the Wild Man of the Woods and the
Man Who Won't Give a Tip
Both Here.

Old friends are returning with sum-
mer. The wild man, who now energies
from a cave In Connecticut and now
prefers the Maine woods with a viii
lage near by where he can brighten
school children, is reported as caught
in Tarrytown, N. Y, but he is prob.
ably an tmposter, for he gave his
name and admitted that he was hun
cry. The real wild man is nameless,
and in trackless solitudes or visiting
a settlement is cheerfully omnivorous,
and skillful in obtaining food from ma
ture and from man.
And again there is the formation
of National Anti-Tipping associa-
ton. We read few days ago of a
Londoner who in one year travelled
considerably over 100 miles to find
BARRIERS shops where his 'unbending
attitude on the tip question" was un-
known and thus spent about $50 on
bus and cab fares. He soon exhaust
ed London and the suburbs, and now,
unable to shave himself, grows a
beard.
These anti-tipping associations la
Dor In vain, for there are always fool
ish men and women, who, not sure of
themselves and wishing to impress
others, tip eXtravagantly.-Philp Hale

MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
Wfe's Gentle and Refining Influence
Counted, Or Was the Gallant
Colonel Afraid2

A soldier, being photographed, hap
pened to mention the name of the
regiment to which he belonged,
Whereupon the photographer said
that he had photographed the colonel
of the same regiment, and showed the
private a copy.
Well" said the soldier, "I've seen
Col. - good many times on the
parade grounds, to say nothing of
South Africa, and he never looked
like that"
YES" said the photographer, "but
you must remember that the colonel
was neither on the parade ground
nor in South Africa when he was
photographed"
We'll, but I've seen him alone, and
he always looks as if he were going
to jump down your throat. In this
you'd think he couldn't say DO to a
goose, Was he alone when he came
here?"
We'll, no." said the photographer,
with unconscious irony, "he had his
wife with him."
oh" said the soldier, thoughtfully,
that accounts for it."-Tit-Bits.

THE biggest man of the Civil war;
as he was called by his neighbors
died recently at Washington, Pa. VIII
liam P. Bane never wore shoulder
straps, although his term of service
in the Union army extended from
June, 1862, until the close Of HOSTILE
ties, and his title referred only to his
height. When he enlisted in Com
pany A, Twenty-second Pennsylvania
volunteers, he weighed about three
hundred pounds and measured tritle
over seven feet four inches in his
stockings. He was "lanky" in build
and became known as Big Pat Zane.
Writing of him, the Washington (Pa.)
Observer says: Circus day was the
gladstone day for Pat, and no one In
all the crowds in town on that day got
nearly as much enjoyment out of the
occasion as did the Greene county
giant when groups of children and
their elders, too, gathered about him
to gaze up into his face and ask him
strange questions of how it felt to be
giant 1t was the same way at the
national encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, when Pat usu-
ally led the parade"

Will gather sufficient seed cotton in

cotton in such way that in order to
get the grain the goose would have
