harvest, Now Adachi has young,
pretty and romantic wife Her hus-
band is getting a little old, and when
Mogi appeared on the scene, accord
ing to the aforesaid husband his wife
fell in love with him. Adachi has a
habit of making weekly trips to Mod
este, leaving his ranch at 2 o'clock in
the morning. He had his suspicios
about his pretty wife, and his dashing
employee, and when hes tarted away
Friday morning he didn't go.
On his return his worst fears were
justified. Mrs. Adachci had packed her
clothes in Mogi's suit case and was
preparing to elope with him. She had
gone back to her room for some for
gotten tri1e, when the angry husband
appeared and confronted his youthful
farmland. The latter dissembled-he
couldn't sleep--he was out enjoying
the moonlight. The wife, hearing
conversation, crept back to bed
Then did Adachi seize the trunk, or
suit case, and force it open, to dis
cover therein the silks and satins,
jewelry and laces, which he had been
lavishing upon his pretty wife for
many Woodworking year. Then he
seized also upon Mogi and brought
him to town. Appearing before Judge
Wilkinson, the employer, insisted on
filing a complaint charging Mogi with
the theft of his wife Mogi pleaded
not guilty. Mrs. Adachi corroborated
him. They were merely friends; she
loved her husband; she had no inten-
ton of clipping with mere farmland;
she did not know how her wardrobe
had been transferred to the trunk of
Mogi
Then spake up Mogi, like knight of
old. Yes, he did it; he was a mere
thief he had stolen the clothing, and
he was guilty of larceny. Whereupon
the court dismissed the more serious
charge, and fined Mogi s25, which
Adachi paid-out of the wages due to
Mogi.

Both were arraigned in District court

The officers, who had often heard
rdfors that there was a girl posing as
man at the house of Louise Milligan
investigated, but when they arrived al
the house the girl was gone. They
traced her to Fourth and Chestnut
streets, where she was found smoking
a cigarette.
At first she denied that she was
masquerading as a man, but when th9
officers told her she would have to
come to the station she readily admit
ted her sex.

HISTORIC LOCATION
SCENE Of CAMP

ZURICH, Switzerland, July 22.-The
famous Saint Bernard Pass, between
Italy and Switzerland, which was ira
versed by armies in Roman and nell.
eVal times, and by Napoleon army in
1900, is again an armed camp. The
Hoscpice, or monastery, at the summit
OF the pass, whence the monks send
out their famous dogs to the succor OF
travellers in winter, is occupied by an
outpost of Swiss soldiers who took I'm
their abode there in mid winter, arriv-
ing on skis.
The Abbott and his monks, about a
dozen In number, had an easy winter.
Very few wayfarers traversed the
pass this year, and no disasters occur
red. The dogs-the famous st. Ber-
nard breed has been replaced by a
Newfoundland stock-had scarcely
anything to do.
The morgues where those who die I
in the Pass are laid have recently been
walled up. The morgues are small
stone huts. No attempt is made a,
burial; the bodies of the dead, clad in
the garments they wore when the dis
aster occurred, are lined up against
the WALL with sticks driven in the
ground to keep them erect. Bodies of
men who persisted in the pass thirty
years ago are packed tightly within
these two morgues, kept in an excel |
lent state of preservation by the frost
and snow.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July ga
Tit of spilled soup on the waistcoat
of Charles D. Powell, millionaire bus
mess man of Birmingham, Ala, by
Matei B. Barnes, waitress at the
Inside Inn, began an acquaintance that
ended in the wedding of the two in
Oakland.
I'm so clumsy" apologized the
girl, blushing attractively when the
p'ate TIPPED in her hand and the soup
trickled down Powell's front
That's all right, little girl" was
the genial reply, and their eyes met.
By the time Miss Barnes had finished
serving the dinner they were quite
friendly. The friendship progressed
favorably and few days later the
Alabama man asked her to wed.
The bride came here several weeks
ago from Sheridan, Mo-, lured by the
Wondrous tales of the exposition and
the rumor that all was golden. After
a short time she found work at the
Inside Inn.

Milwaukee from Chicago about six
months ago. She met the Jacobs wo-
man in Grand aevnue restaurant.
After long talk, she said it was
agreed that they wiuld pose as man
and wife. The Jacobs woman then
went to the home of Mrs. Milligan,
and rented a room. She then asked
the Milligan woman if there was any
objection to her bringing her "hus-
band" There was no objection and
