THEFT THROUGH POVERTY.
Perjury Of an Austrian Nobleman in
the Public Service.

Vienna Corr. London Standard.
A Vienna jury has just acquitted Baron
Joseph Won Bechinic in spite Of his con-
fession Of embezzlement. The trial gave
d sad insight into the perjury existing in
the lower ranks Of the civil service
The baron. who belongs to an old but
decayed family. entered the postal serv-
Ice and married when receiving only Is
Cd q day. His pay ultimately rose to E3
a week. but the greater part of 1t was
pledged in paying of the debts he had
been forced to incur earlier in order to
keep his wife and family.
He confessed in court how one day
when he had nothing to give his four
children to eat he forged an entry in a
savings bank book, and, once having
given way to temptation. repeated this
till he had embezzled E20, always hoping
that relatives would help him. to repay.
The acqpittal. for which there were no
grounds but sentiment. is. somewhat Sc
verely criticised in the Vienna press, the
newspapers pointing out that 1t forms a
dangerous precedent. there being 10
many iTnpecuniOus members OF the nobil-
fly IN the public service. and that this
particular baron had brought his poverty
on himself by his 1mprOvfd6nt maFriase.

separable companions, not only at home,
but at the War Department. The Secre-
tary's arrival at the big granite building
at the corner of 18th street and Pennsylva-
mia avenue In the morning and after lunch
con usually is announced by the ia
miliar barking of his dog, and his de-
parture is marked by the same signal.
Several times the Secretary got to the
department little ahead of the dog and
the swinging doors closed on Punch"
One or two barks served to inform the
watchmen of his predicament and the
doors were opened to him. Often he is
sent by his mistress to bring the Secre-
tary home. and he always accompiishes
his mission. He is thoroughly familiar
with the way, and no obstacles are put
in his entry into the building, along the
marble corridors and into the Secretary s
private Office.

the best and he Is on the best of terms
with everybody in the Secretarys Office.
All he asks is to be allowed to lie quietly
at the Secretary's feet until the latter
starts for ride or walk. AS he is hid
den under the big desk, the Secretary's
numerous visitors are not even aware
of his presence. Only once was his Sc
renity disturbed. The Secretary was be-
ing photographed at his desk. The OPP
orator flashed his light. The dog jumped
from his hiding place and upset the
waste basket. The operator, who did
not know he was in the, room, became
badly frightened and thought that some
thing dreadful had happened. Having
been assured that no harm had been
done. he came back and finished his
work.
Punch" keeps close track of mealtime
and considers 1t his special function to
notify his master when he should 60
home to luncheon. He does that by
arousing himself from his slumbers, put
ting his forepaws on the Secretary's
knees and barking three times. II the
Secretary does not respond promptly he
banks again. Usually he has las way in
this. respect, but not always. The other
day Mr. StimsOn, gave hearing to q
number Of business men from Chicago on
an important matter. The luncheon hour

knowledge by several vigorous barks by

to find that the water had swollen the
porous wood until the hole had become
SO small he couldn't get out. After an
hour of feverish wait. the sour old man
began to think of all the mean little
things he had ever done i'm his life, and
began to pray hard for forgiveness. Dark
ness came and he had repented of every
thing he could think of until he SUDDENLY
remembered that never in his life had
he given a cent toward foreign missions.
This uncharitableness and the thought
of the number of times he had turned
down appeals of the old country minister
made him feel SO small that he crawled
out of the hole and hurried home, where

The sun was shining brilliantly as he

They have a new plant down at the
Department Of Agriculture-or rather an
old weed with a new potentiality. 1t is
commonly known in this region as ST
Johns weed. and Is a member OF the
alfalfa family with little white sweet
smelling flowers. One OF its peculiari-
ties is that II grows by preference on
ash heaps and the worst ground 1t can
find. Cattle. do not like 1t particularly,
but they can and will eat 1t. The plant
Is being tried as forage crop and the
stock pastured on 1t have to be starved
a bit before they will eat II. One Of
1T reminds me rather OF the old man
who trained his horse to eat shavings.
He was q penurious old cuss, for he
figured that shavings Were re9ily az good
for horse as grass II you could only
get the horse to think 50. BY way OF
helping out the illusion. he got the hofae
q pair OF green spectacles to wear at
meal times, DO that the shavings looked
rather like grass. The horse did nat
take kindly to the experiment at 1ruk
but gradually he learned how. to eat
shavingR The only trouble was that
about the time he learned how he died."
