The escape Of Harry Kendall Thaw

reporter OF the Cleveland Leader.
There was no chop suey at Mat

was none.
Solemnly motioning Ike, the waiter,
to bring another potation, he en-
planned the mystery of his chop suey
remark.
When McNicholas escaped from
the county jail he was In the hospital
ward. A few minutes before he made
his getaway he asked me to get him
two plates Of chop suey. The ohlig-
Ing son Of Manchu demanded a de-
post OF two dollars McNieholas was
rich, and paid the deposit.

steaming dishes l found that No

two dishes Of chop suey on my
hands.

Nothing doing; he was too busy try

BOYS LIKE TO OWN THINGS
Give Your Son Possessions That He
May keep" and He Will Treas
ure Them.

The average boy believes firmly In
the principle Of the private ownership
of personal property He would rather
be rne sole possessor of q broken
handled knife with no blades than q
pearl handled, four-bladed affair in
partnership. asserts Thomas w. Lloyd
In the Mothers Magazine.
In fact, the desire to own something
TO possess property-is inherent In
ell mankind. And mothers should en-
deavor to foster this desire It will
not only increase the boys happiness.
but will teach him the value OF acQui-
sition. within proper limits. He
should have his own playthings, his
own tools, his own books, his own
clothes, and a place Of his own in
which to keep them.
A boy who is permitted to do this
will take better care OF things than II
owned In partnership. and he will
learn eagerly to have a place for his
things and to keep them In their
place. And this is valuable lesson.
Do not make younger boy wear his
older brothers clothing which the
latter has outgrown, If 1t can be avoid
ed. OF course In some families.
where every cent counts. this cannot
be helped. Every boy, and we speak
from experience, hates to wear an
others clothes. He wants his own.
Give him his own bureau drawer
and at least q portion OF closet, and
teach him habits OF orderliness and
system In the care Of his possessions.
These habits are easily learned when
young. and their value to the man Of
business is incalculable.

In their minds the example OF Joan
of Arc and other heroines of France,
and they are confirmed in their aspira-

to the Journal des Debats (Paris). by
the example of the ancient Amazons of
Greek mythology. They affirm that
the law of three years In France will
not produce forces of reserve sufficient
to defend the frontier of their well
loved country. They have accordingly
through the hands of Colonel Driant,
commanding the troops In Paris. sent
a petition. carrying about a thousand
signatures, to President Poincare in
which they say:

sea Mon.ters

That ''thresher shark Of fabulous
dimensions just caught on the south
coast Of England is fast becoming a
formidable rival Of the sea serpent
and the big gooseberry. He Is fairly
common during summer around Corn
wall. where he does great damage to
pilchard and mackerel nets, in which
he completely finds himself. like g
caterpillar in his chrysalis. The
thresher shark is also called the sea
fox. from the remarkable tail, which
he uses to frighten shoals Of fish, and
so make them more easily caught
There are sailors yarns that this
whiplike tail is sometimes used fol
fogging whales to death. But the
real prosecutor Of the whale is the
gladiator dolphin or sword grampua
(Delphinus gladiator), very carniv'
orous fellow, who kills and eats
whales, seals and even his brother
porpoises.
