BOY STEALS GEMS FOR THIEF
Youth, z, playing Behind Counter,
Takes Jewels from Philadelphia
Store in Rush Hours.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.-Uncut
diamonds and other precious stones,
valued at $4,000, were stolen from
the jewelry store of E. J. Hertz, 10
Gated in the central shopping dis
trict. The theft took place during
the rush hours and is believed to
have been committed by a 7-year-old
boy, who acted as a tool for profess
sional gem thieves.
Hertz told the detectives that two
women, two men and a small boy
came into the store and asked to see
some diamonds and sapphires. While
the men and ONE were looking at
the stones, he said, the boy, who car
ried al umbrella, ran back and forth
behind the counter.
The prospective customers finally
decided that none Of the gems was
exactly what they wanted" and pur-
chased a cheap scarfpin. Meanwhile
the boy had disappeared and an hour
later a box containing the gems was
found to be missing.
The authorities believe the boy con.
cealed the box in his umbrella and
slipped out of the store unnoticed.

RICHES FROM NEVADA NINE
From single Ore Shoot the National
Has Yielded Four Million Dollars
In Four Years.

Four million dollars in four years In
the record which a single ore shoot at
National, New, has made. The dis
trict, prior to 1908. was little known.
1t lies on the western slope OF Santa
Rosa range in Humboldt county. The
mineral deposits Of this range. says
the bulletin of the United States geo
logical survey, may be divided into
two principal classes. younger gold
and-silver-bearing veins that occur in
or near the tertiary volcanic rocks,
and much older notwithstanding
veins that occur in sedimentary and
associated granite rocks. In this area.
the older deposits are but poorly rep
resented and have yielded only a
small output, but one of the younger
or tertiary veins has been wonderfully
rich, yielding much ore averaging $50
a pound. During the early period OK
activity a few thousand tons Of low
grade ore, assaying about $500 a TOM
were thrown on the dump of the Ma
tional mine, but the ore shipped aver
aged about $4,000 a ton in gold hav-
ing a value of $1,000 an ounce. the.
remainder being silver. Cinnabar was.
found in one of the veins.
Native gold is found principally in
the rich shoot of the National vein.,
the isolated position of which, in a dis
trict Of quartz-stibnite veins poor in,
gold and silver, is remarkable. The
several veins appear to belong to the
same epoch of naturalization, the gold
shoot being a local development upon
one of the normal stibnite veins. The
gold shoot was encountered 40 feet
below the surface anG has been fol-
lowed on the dip of the vein for 500
feet, the stope length reaching $50
feet. The ore. which ran $40 to $50
to the pound, occurred mostly in an
irregular seam from a few inches to,
a foot wide.

sHREWD OLD DADDY.
Age Had in No Way Dimmed His
keenness for Bargains.
Sons Really Neat Little Scheme Frus-
trated, and It Is Not Likely He
VIII Have a Chance to
Work It Again.

Father was very rich and very par
simonious, to use a long word that
sounds better than the short one which
means the same thing, and the son at
times was chagrined because father
did not look as well as a man in
his station might be considered to
have the right to look. Father had re-
tired from business some years before
and folks said that under the boys
management it would speedily go to
the dogs. They declared:
THE boys a tiptop fellow, and we
all like him, but he hasn't got the
nose for profits and deals that made
the business for the old man. He
doesn't really care whether he makes
money or not. That is not the way
to get ahead. When we were young
sters without a dollar" and a lot
more to the same effect.
The old man with his nose for
profits had accumulated a lot of hab-
it, that did not desert him when he re-
tired from business. Ho was sure,
of course, while he had an income
that might have made a Wall street
broker happy, that it was necessary
to care for the nickels, and he spent
as little on raiment as decency and
the climate would permit Chaff, ad-
vice and sarcasm did not move him a
particle.
Now, the most cherished article in
his wardrobe was a certain old over
coat, which, like the bag that Henry
Ward Beecher carried with him when
he went on his lecture tours, must
at some time have been new" The
coat now, however, was faded and
worn and far from handsome. Every
new man at the club was called into
a corner and told yarns about the
coat and its carer. Father, for that
matter, knew all about this, but he
cared nothing for laughs and jibes.
The son tried and tried again to
induce the old man to buy a coat.
At length he resorted to strategy.
One day when the father was con
fined to the house the son took the
coat to a tailor.
Lock here, Mr.. Green" he said,
the governors got to have a new
coat, and there's got to be found a
way to make him buy it. ! think
that If he saw a coat for sale that
looked like a bargain he would take
it, for the sake of the bargain, If not
for the sake of the coat. Now you
measure this one up, and make a new
n to measure, put the new one
in the window at a bargain price, get
him into the shop and sell it to him.
Get what you can out of him for It,
and I'll pay the difference"

in the Sea.

London, England.-Giving judgment
in the Board of Trade inquiry into
the sinking of the African liner Fal-
aba in st. Georges Channel, March
20, with the loss of Ill lives, Lord
Mersey found that the ship had been
sunk by a torpedo from a German
submarine; that the measures for saw
ing life had been promptly carried out
and that proper discipline had been
maintained.
The scope of the inquiry did not
authorize a determination of the enc
my's rights" said the official find
ing, "but we hold that the submarine
did not give women and children
aboard the Falaba a reasonable op-
portunity to escape
1--WE conclude that the submarines
commander planned not only to sink
the Falaba, but to sacrifice the lives
of the passengers and crew. The evil
dence indicated that the submarines
crew laughed and jeered while their
victims were struggling in the water"
The course of the submarine COM
mander in declining to rescue drown
ing passengers was, however, upheld
as probably justifiable on account of
the obvious danger to the subma-
rine." The Inquiry Board, however,
declared that the German claim that
the Falaba sent up rockets calls for
assistance was not substantiated.
Leon Thresher, an American, was
among the Falaba victims, and be-
cause of this fact the Falaba incident
was included in the representations
made to Germany by President VIII
son.

New War Disease.

Physicians in Vienna recently have
had their attention drawn to a Pc
culiar new disease among soldiers,
known as nyctalopia, or night blind
ness. To the night blind the capacity
to distinguish objects fails at twilight,
and even on moonlight nights they are
without the sense of sight. Sometimes
men do not perceive that they are
night blind until they stumble into
holes or are similarly reminded of
their failing. In some instances the
disease became so virulent that it was
regarded as an epidemic. Night blind
ness comes principally to persons who
are far sighted or near sighted. Over
taxing the strength of body and mind
is believed to be the principal cause.
