So far as he is known to the outside

based on an ancient play which he eX-
peCted to be named after him. but
which was given an entirely different
title In his own bailiWiCk in which

ed himself and tried to persuade the
rest Of the world that he was typical

was nothing Of the sort He was never
seen in a fight and curiOusly enough
for a man OF his reputation he was al

had never been in jail The real name
Of this quaint character, who numbered
his friends on every side by the thou

given Is months Imprisonment for in
Producing sacCharine into Germany.
For years Nine. Osel has been d.
rectfng the operations of a band OF
smuggIers who derived good profit
from this contraband trade. She made
not less than $50 percent on a con
siderable capital, and she IS rated Dy
the commercial agencies as worth
5000 600 Her favOrite method has been
to send her agents across the frontier
in motor cars. They Travelled as tour
lists, and their cars were constructed
with secret receptacles IN winch the
Saccharine was hidden.

Steal for Fun.
A curious society the members Of
which stole for the pleasure and eN-
citement in theft as q sport, has been
discovered in the FOlie-MerlcOurt quar-
ter Of Paris
are now in custody One, a stone cut
ter named Albert BacheZ, spent all
his spare time in the planning and
execution of difficult and daring
thefts. His only reward was admiration
and praise of his colleagues. The re
suits Of his endeaVOr were eNhlDlIed
to the society and stored in its rooms
Bochez scorned easy work, but any
difficult task suggested by the society
at once aroused his remarkable facul-
ties, and was carried out with amaz-
ing cunning.
But as was to be expected, Bachez
one day made a miscalculation- He was
caught stealing some valuable bronze
art objects in the Bastile quarter OF
Paris, and is now awaiting trial.
