Detective work, following faint
clues, dark hints and the like, is not
the only method BY which robberies
may be solved. The wife OF promi-
nent officer in the marine corps, who
resides in Baltimore and has coun-
try place IN Virginia, is authority for
the statement. and offers the follow

tention.
II seems that while she was at her
Virginia place. she one day missed
from her jewel box valuable dia-
mond brooch. She had the servants

but 1t could not be found All of her

Whatever suspicious the mistress
may have had she kept to herself.
After a while she returned to Balti-
more, bringing her servants with her.
Is you found 1t. Mis- Alice?" asked
the mulatto girl, after a search OF
the house had been concluded
Her mistress shook her head.

latto girl. Did dat voodoo woman

Missouri has some fool laws,
and were it not for our fear of
contempt proceedings we would
add, some fool judges, but no
thing quite so foolish has come
up recently as Minnesota de-
cision. A team of mules was
stolen in the northern state and
the thief was arrested and con-
victed. Minnesota has a stand
ing reward of 5000 for the con-
viction of q horse thief, so the
captor appealed for his cash. His
application was denied, the court
insisting that mule is a mule
and not . horse, therefore pay
ment of . horse thief reward for
the arrest of q mule thief, would
be illegal. The plaintiff insisted
that as q mule is half horse and
two mules were stolen the crimi.
nal could be charged with horse
thievery-two mules equaling
one horse-but the learned Judge
said no. Very evidently a horse
on" on the man who caught the
mule stealer.
