VICTIM OF CLEVER THIEVES
Partisan JeweIer Loses Large Sum
Through the Working Of Most
Ingenious Scheme.

A remarkable story of international
thievery was related in a Paris police
court the other day, when a man
named Bucking, who had been ex-
tradited from Lcrdon, was placed ON
trial. Bucking, it appears, began by
writing to a famous Paris jeweler un-
der the name of Mrs. Marchmont,"
mentioning another wealthy lady GUS
toner, and asking for quantity of ex-
pensive jewelry to be sent to London
on approval The request was inn
mediately complied with, and $1,350
worth was chosen and paid for with a
check. Three months later Mrs.
Marchmont" ordered $4,000 worth, and
also paid by means of bill on a Lon
con bank.
Shortly after there came an order
for pearl necklaces to the value of over
$4,000 to be sent in order that the
customer might choose one of $4,000,
and following this the jeweler received
another request in the name of an al
legged friend of Mrs. Marchmont" for
necklaces, rings, and brilliants, also to
the value of over $4,000, all of which
were confidingly sent to London. This
time, however, no payment followed,
and. the jeweler placing the matter in
the hands of the police, the pseudo
"Mrs Marchmont' was ARRESTED in the
person of a German named Btchiug.

WHEN THE SAND MAN COMES
How One Mother Does Away With
the FretfuIness That Sometimes
Precedes Bedtime.

About half an hour before nap-time,
Junior is washed and given cup of
milk. Then / set him in his high
chair and give him something that he
can play with quietly for some time
II he still seems hungry, | give him a
piece Of zweihack or a crust of toast,
that will keep him busy for long
season. Then, he has a music box
and some cards and disreputabfe
clothespin doll, that we call his Quiet
time Playthings," and do not let him
see at any other time. If he is very
restless and i have the time, we go
into the sitting-room, darken it, and |
play softly and sing the dear old mel
odies, that make my voice tremulous
with memories of my childhood
Sometimes we put rug in daddyss
big chair, and Junior rocks slowly and
croons sleepy song" with me.
When nap-time comes, I take off his
ehoes and prepare him for bed in the
usual way, lay him down in the quiet
room, shut the door, and if he is not
already asleep, ne calls happily after
me-
"Byeby"
Do you see the principle of the
thing? But of course you do From
the time he wakes in the morning un-

more tired if left to himself; and when
it finally comes time for his nap, he is
too excited and weary to want it. The
old way of rocking the baby to sleep,
Objectionable as it was in many re-
spects, had this very important virtue,
that it soothed and prepared the tired

GOT RICH IN
THREE YEARS
EXPERIENCES OF A BRITISH Ina
MIGRANT IN CANADA-WEST.

The following straightforward state
its force and effect. 1t appears in q
recent issue of the Liverpool Mer
curry.
II. Patterson, of Nutana Saskatche
wan, Canada, when he arrived from
Liverpool had six of us to support,
20 use his own phraseology, and his
funds were getting low He secured
homestead 80 miles out from Sun
1urn, and started living on it April
l5, 1907. The previous fall he put all
his money, $137, into shack and lot,
making sure of a home. AS cook and
caterer in local hotel he made $75
a month, and out of this had some
savings out of which he paid his
breaking and improvements on the
homestead. The shack was sold to
good advantage. Then Mr.. Patterson
tells the story after he had removed
his family to the homestead:
"For the first month life was SO
strange and new that l hadn't time to
think of anything, only fixing up our
new home. l was so green to farm
life that l didn't know the difference
between wheat and oats q do now !
Between working out, cropping my
place, and with my gun, we managed
to live comfortably for the three

GROWING Old Gracefully

1t is impossible to escape. the yoke
OF time, but there is becoming as
we'll as an unbecoming way of don
ming and wearing it.
On a warm spring morning some
years ago sthe late Captain Faulkner
of Texas was walking along the high
road when he met an old negro pro-
ceeding slowly toward the village
store, in order to get his stock OF
groceries for the coming week.

tain, chow are you?"

Uncle Primus. "Ah is feelin' good;

for there had been only one picture in
that show for her.
You know" Jim returned bashful-
ly, Jaw now, you know, don't you?"
Eyes, guess I do" she assented.
Boarding houses are bum anyway
Jim continued with his eyes on the
table. He had known Marjory for sew
eral years, but had never thought Sc
riously of marriage until tonight.

"Honest?"
ooh, of course, get enough to eat"
Marjory said quickly for fear he
would think she was begging for
something more; "but mean real
home cooking"

then frightened a little, these two
didn't have much when they begun"
81 guess they were pretty poor, y
Marjory assented.
Some stores sell furniture on the
installment plan"
DO they?" Marjory asked indiffer-
emily, although her heart was beating
rapidly.
For a moment Jim said nothing, but
drew little circles in the water drip
ping from his glass, and Marjory felt
the tears gather bitterly beneath her
lowered lids,
"T say, that was great, their cooking
together, wasn't it?" Jim broke out
suddenly. 81 never knew girls would
stand for having men about in the
kitchen"
81 guess she was glad to have him
help her just to have him with her,
Marjory said softly.
81 say, Mariory, do you think girls
feel that way about men?" and there
was break in Jims voice
'I guess they do, sometimes; at
least the picture showed they did"
Il wonder if it's true" was Jim's
next contribution to general converse
ton.
Mariory thought d moment, then she
remembered reading one evening in
the paper which she devoured every
night from front to back, advertise
ments and all, that many of the pic
lures reproduced at the motion pic
ture shows were taken from real life.
Recalling this, and not understanding
how anyone could have feigned such
true emotions, she said eagerly:
81 honestly believe it was, Jim. Why,
they couldn't have had little fat like
that one if it wasn't real"
That's So"

better shelf" and Jim's strong fingers
moved as though he felt a hammer in
them.
Can you put up shelyes?" Marjory's
eyes widened delightfully."-.

wants a song in a scene, the song

IN LONELY CORNERS
Scouts of Science Seek Strange
Places of the Earth.
American institutions Spend Vast
Sums In Exploration and Send
Their Men to the Darkest
Spots of the Globe.

New York-Up on the fifth or Office
floor of the American Museum 81
Natural History, just opposite the eie
rators, is bulletin board, on which
are painted fifty or sixty names; n1
persons actively connected with the
institution, all of them we'll known
and many of them famous, through
out the scientific world. Opposite
each name is a little movable block
of wood which shows whether the
owned is in or out.
Inquiry discloses that some of the
''outs" are pot far away, but that
many of them have been absent q
long time; THAT they are in the lonely
corners of the earth and that they
are not likely to be in for another
year or two. These scouts of science
come and go at long intervals, but
there are so many of them connected
with the museum that every month
or SO some one marks his departure
or arrival on the board.
AS a matter of fact such inStitu-
lions as the American Museum of Nat
ural History, the Field Museum in
Chicago, the National Museum at
Washington. and various European
institutions are doing the largest
share of the geographic exploration
of the earth just at present. The
plan that each follows is usually the
same.
First they send out one man alone,
or two together, to penetrate some
remote region about which nothing is
known. This is really a scientific
scouting party. The instructions are
to move as quickly as possible, but
to make a thorough survey of the
scientific possibilities of the country.
When the scouts come back and re-
port then a large expedition is fitted
out, arrangements being made for it
to stay in the field several years. The
scouts do not accompany this ex-
petition. They are off on another
reconnaissance in some other distant
part of the world.
Within the last year or SO, for in
stance, the Museum of Natural Ills
tory sent f.. O. Hovey to the West In
dies and thence to the chihuahua dis
trict Of Mexico to study volcanoes. 1t

reditions to Tahiti and the South Sea
islands, and later to British Guiana

Colombia recently.
Just before Prof. Andrews started
on his scouting expedition after the
Corean tiger, the writer asked him
what he feared most in venturing into
o totally unknown, unexplored region.
Was it fever. or accident or hostile
natives, or all those things combined?
"The only thing | ever worry
about" replied Prof. Andrews, is
whether l will get enough to eat or
not On an expedition where you are
travelling alone with just the smallest
number of servants and going into a
region that you know nothing about
you can take only a limited amount OF
food. For the rest you have to rely ON
tho country.
IF YOU can't kill enough game or
catch enough fish, or find food in some
way. you're going to starve. Ii you
have plenty to eat, you needn't worry
about anything else. Broken legs
sickness, hostile natives and so on
will come your way if it's down in the
books that they're going to. But, nc
matter what else happens, you abso
lutely must have plenty of grub. II
you don't, then you've got something
big to worry about"
But whether scout of science helps
the staggering dogs to draw the
sledge over snowy wastes or whether
he cuts his way through the junglee
of Java, the Moluccas or the Carolines
he is always meeting some other
white man. Stefansson and Ander
son encountered lone men OF the
Royal Mounted Police north Of the
most northerly forts of the Hudson,s
Pay company.
So il is that on every world enc
steamer they are likely to find some
one they know or who knows some
one they have met. Therefore, lone
ly as their lives are, they no sooner
set foot across the threshold Of civil
ization again than they begin to picl
up the threads of gossip and al
venture of others just. where they
dropped them two or three or hvt
years back.
