had selected as one in which it was
possible for him to work out his for
tune. He located on a good half Sec

1t some cattle that would fatten on
the wild prairie grass that grows SO
luAuriously in that district. In addi-
ton to this his purpose was to cult.

devoted to mixed farming was what
he had in view and it is easy to un-
derstand that he will make a success

GETS 100000 IN STREET
tanning Currency From Post
Office Mail Wagon.

Paris.-A daring theft Of upward Of
100000 in cash was carried out in
the Rue Chauchat. a street in the
banking district Of Paris near the
Boulevard des Italiens. The money
was taken from a post Office motor
driven delivery wagon, in which it
was being carried to various con-
signees for the payment OF monthly
salaries and accounts.
The wagon was in charge OF two
men, one of them a chauffeur whose
duty it was to watch the door at the
back of the inclosed wagon, while his
companion delivered the packages.
The second mar went into a brokers'
officer, leaving the wagon door locked,
as usual. When he returned and took
his seat inside he noticed that the
most valuable package of all, a bag
containing more than 5000, 600, was
gone.
The driver declared he had seen no
one. The police after investigation
came to the conclusion that the thief
had been dressed in a post Office uni
form and had possession Of a key with
which he opened the door at an in
slant when the ~chauffeur's attention
had been diverted from his duty of
watching.
The bag contained 1O3 separate
small packages Of cash addressed to
different concerns, including several

THIS TIME GONE FOR GOOD
New Yorker Might Say Goodby to
Watch and the $50 He Had Con
fidingly Given Up.

In a subway crowd not long ago a
New York man was touched" for his
watch. The watch was not valuable.
but the New York man wanted It
back for sentimental easons. and in
serted divers advertisements in tho
papers, offering $50 for the return OF
the watch and nc questions asked.
The dip" who had lifted the
watch saw the advertisements and
concluded to take the $50. He called
on the New York man, handed him
the timepiece and demanded the re-
ward.
The owner of the watch was only
toe happy to give it to him. After ex-
aiming the watch he returned 1t to
his pocket and handed over five $40
bills. The dip" pocketed the money
and departed. There was little said.
A few minutes later the New York
mar reached for his watch.
But 1t was gone.

DEBUT OF SARAH BERNHARDT
Celebrated French Actress Once had
Marrow Escape From Keep
Ing Candy Store.

Paris.-Gil Bias tells tho following
story in regard to the theatrical debut
Of Sarah Bernhard, showing how she
once seriously thought Of giving up
the dramatic profession and keeping
q candy store:
"On q certain January Is, when
the artists reunited in the greenroom
Of the Theatre Francois in order to
do honor to the anniversary Of
Moliere, the young sister of Sarah
stepped on the dress Of Nine. Nathalie,
grande dame, and a person greatly to
be feared by %ingenues.
THE aged actress became very
angry and reprovci the girl, who re-
Piled in the same language. until
Sarah interviewed by s!apping the face
Of the veteran societaire of 1852.
There was a terrible scandal, and
Sarah received from the administra-
tor, Edouard Thierry, a command pub
licly to apologize to Nine. Nathalie
before all the societaires who had wit
messed the affair. But Sarah. who had
just left the conservatism without q
very good character. preferred to quit
the house of Moliere and even give
up her career.
"In her despair she wished to 60
into business, and was tempted to
purchase the goodwill Of a candy
store in the bouleyards, but the
gloomy aspect OF the shop when she
examined it deferred her.
Soon after, with her savings al
most gone. she found an engagement
at the Gymnase de Montigny, where
she made her first real success"
