Called In by Mistress, Doctor Operates
on fractured Limb.
Bobby, canary bird belonging to
Mrs. William NJ. Walker. wife Of the
manager Of the Planters hotel, St
Louis. Mo-, chirped inQuiringly as he
stood on one leg on his perch in his
mistress room at the hostelry. The
pird had often balanced himself on one
leg before because 1t pleased him to do
so. but on this occasion he was com.
PEELED to. The other leg had been am.
putated by surgical operation.
Bobby. who is allowed the freedom
of the room and is seldom in his cage.
had been hopping about the floor when
domestic, not seeing him. pushed a
chair against him. One Of his feet
was mashed and the leg was broken.
In such cases 1t is usual to destroy
the bird. But Mrs. Walker was at
tached to Bobby because he often sat
on her finger or perched on her shout
der. So Or. Frederick w. Shaffer, a
veterinary, was called into consulta-
ton.
He arrived with case of instru.
ments and promised to save Bobby's
life. With a hypodermic syringe he
injected cocaine into the broken leg
just above the place where the feathers
begin and then cut of the limb with a
pair of bone shears.

The Lobbyist

Now. what is a lobbyist? Who can say7
And where can the creature be found?
They're searching In Washington day by
day.
But there's never a one around
Twas said they were thicker than fieas
on dog
In the days OF the @. o. p,
But now they're as rare as the bander-
log.
As the snsrk and the whoopdedee.
II doubt II the lobbyist really exists"
One senator said as he winked.
you'd better consult anthropologists
To learn IL he isn't extinct"
1--WE heard VI the beast" another ona
swore.
1.-THE story was told to my page
That the lobbyist lived with the diposaur
In the old silurian age"
And another senator says, says he:
I've heard Of the brute, Of course.
I've read in my natural history
Both Of him and the woolly horse.
But truthfully l can say. eftsoons.
But once have 1 see the brute
A beautiful specimen stuffed with prunes
In Smithsonian institute.
I'VE had them here once in Washington
In the age Of the fe-fo-fum.
But they passed away till there isn't one.
Like the megatherium.
And now, instead Of the lobbyist pest
We're frequently running across
The man at the head Of the interest
The former lobbyists boss"
The president heard. and he smole a smile
And the quiz 1t went merrily on,
Though they talked Of the diplodoccus
wild,
OF the mammoth and mastodon,
For the people can spot a lobbyists plan
To Juggle a measure for pelf
Whether he works through hired man
Or he gets on the job himself.

Writing on Confessions of Self Rob

Delabarre of Brown university tells
the interesting fact that conclusion

drive from the brain or the memory

three to five hours previous to the con.
cussion, but will not disturb the i'm.
pressions on the mind Of previous Oc.
currences. The author describes the
effectiveness Of this knowledge In Sc
curing complete confessions from "self
robbed" individuals as follows: ~
talked the matter over with J. B.
Hume, at that time chief detective for
Wells, Fargo & Co., and he forced a
number Of self robbed agents who

would not show any marks. but as

was charming. and she was tempted to

plants aroused her interest: There
were so many of them she had never

She tramped miles In making it, and
she gained interest and enthusiasm as

When she went back to the city the
doctor smiled and said:

Another girl who was very successful

OUTDOOR ART FOR

The Use Of a Camera May Be a
Source Of Summer Sport and
Profit to Its Owner.

~HE woman with the camera
may be bore to her friends,
for she Is always more or less
of an enthusiast, but she her
self has much to be thankful for. No
matter how limited her resources for
amusement may otherwise be. she is
not likely to be dull II she has taken
up photography for all II is worth.
Not the least advantage of the use Of
the camera is the fact that IL takes the
owner outdoors a great deal and en-
tails a great deal Of wholesome exer-
cise Golf, tennis, boating or riding
have their uses In building up the
health, but not every one takes an in

them. The camera provides a dignified
recreation for the serious and elderly.
A physician in prescribing the rest
cure for busy woman said:
Get away from your Office. Get out

The physician suggested the conven-
tional list of sports. Then he laughed,
for in the wilderness farm to which he
was sending her for pure air and the
simple life there were no golf links or
tennis courts and the roads did not en-

He had told her that she must take
a long tramp every day-walk until
she was ready to drop; but, knowing
the woman. he doubted whether she
would obey without an incentive to
keep up her interest.
'I'll tell you what you do" he said
as he recalled the enthusiasm of his
own daughter over her first camera
You go out and buy camera, one Of

EXPRESS CLERK
UNDER ARREST
LAWRENCE LYNCH, OF JACKSON.
INDICTED FOR EMBEzzLINc
EXPRESS co. FUNDS.

jackson, Miss, May S.-Lawrence
Lynch, transfer and money clerk in
the local office of the Southern Ex-
press company, has been placed I'M
uer arrest on an indictment brought
by the Federal grand jury charging
him with embezzlement.
The indictment is based on a new
Federal statute, passed by Congress
on Feb. 10 last, applicable to the
crime of ENLIGHTENMENT of funds car
ried by interstate commerce.
1t is charged that Lynch stole funds
from the Southern Express Company
aggregating about $1,1O0.. Immediate
ly after the arrest he gave bond and
was released from custody. The trial
will take place before Judge Niles
next week.
Lynch was relieved from duty in the
local office on April 29th following
a personal investigation by the divis-
ion superintendent. He claims that he
does not know what became of the
money, and that it was probably stolen
from the office. Local officials, how
ever say that his populations covered
quite period, and the amount Of the
shortage is made up of small items.
Restitution in the sum Of 5000 has
been made to the company.
Lynch resides on Robinson street,
and belongs to one of the oldest and
best known families in jackson. He
had been with the local office of the
Southern Express company about five
years.
The Federal grand Jury has indicted
j. F. Tanner of Pelahatchie, a rural
mail carrier, on the charge of embez-
element. It is alleged that he took
funds given to him by patrons to be
used in purchase of money orders and
converted the amount to his own use.
Cary Huff and Lonnie Moore, ne
groes, were arraigned before Judge
Niles on the charge of passing counter
felt money. Groome is a pickaninny,
about fourteen years of age, and frank
ly admitted that he passed the bogus
nickles on merchants at Gloster, buy
ing candy and ice cream. He also
said that the money was given to him
by Carey Huff. The latter denied all
knowledge of the fictitious money
Both will be given trial next week.
The nickles are an exceedingly poor
imitation Of Uncle Sans small cur
rency, causing the Federal officials to
declare that the parties who accepted
such money as real ought to be arrest
ed also.
