The Streets of Jackson Scene OF Very
LiverIy Pursuit.

Jackson.-The streets of Jackson were
the scene of an exciting chase when
number of officers trailed a negro thief
for two hours, followed by an excited
crowd of spectators. The negro broke
into the store of A. Joseph and rihed
the safe and two cash drawers. He
made an entrance into the store by
digging through two-foot brick wall in
the rear of the store. He procured bus
little money, although he took one of
the cash drawers with him. The deed
was not discovered until morning when
the store was opened and word was at
once sent for the bloodhounds to come
from Crystal Springs.

ODDITIES IN RELICS.
A Bit of sheIIey's charred Skull Treas
ured In locket.

1t is not every man, not every hero
worshiper, who would esteem the tooth
of his hero of more value than dia-
monds. There is ring belonging to
an English nobleman in which the
place of honor, formerly occupied by a
diamond, is given to a tooth that once
did duty in a human jaw.
This tooth cost no less than $3.50,
but it was the tooth of Sir Isaac New
ton. A relic collector sold it at auc-
ton in 1916, and the nobleman who
bought it gave it the place of dia-
mond in his favorite ring.
Another tooth which so far. excites
the veneration of hero worshipers as to
be able to hold a court of its own and
to draw from long distances a small
host of followers is one that was orig
inally hidden behind the lips of Victor
Hugo. 1t is kept at his former resi-

crawl on his hands and knees TO ex-
plore them or to make use of them in
any way.
Some districts are honeycombed with
them. What could they have been
used for? Not for living in. though
primitive pottery has been found in
them: not for the dead. though some
Etruscan burial places were not dis
