A man was at once assigned TO
watch the house of the woman IN the

she Joined Il man inside. They were
driven TO a fashionable cafe, and when
the man left the taNicab he was reCog-
nized as a hanger-on Of one Of the en-
baSSieS. or course, the couple were
Shadowed, and the waiter who served
them heard the woman tell her com
panion that the blotters were obtain
able.
Now, at the embassy in question all
knowledge of these activities was'de-
MED and probably with perfect truth.
All embassies have Il certain number
Of more or less diSreputable hangers
on who are more of an embarrassment
than anything else, except when they
actually accomplish something. For
instance, in this case had the foreign
government been able to obtain copy
of the navy code II probably would
have paid well for it. Yet 1t was not
under their orders that the attempt
was made and they could very justly
repudiate it.
The three would-be villains in this
little drama Immediately left Washing
ton. The secret service could not ar
rest them, but the chief of the bureau
could tell, if he would, just exactly
what was said to them that persuaded
them the climate of the District of Co
lumbia was anything but healthful.

RELATIVES FIND HIS GRAVE
After Search Of Seventy-Eight Years
Marker Is Discovered. on Resting
Place of Tennesseean.

Danville, Ill.--After a search Of 7S
years by near relatives, the body Of
Elijah Brown, who left Nashville,
Tenn, in 1888 for Illinois, was found
recently near Allerton, H.
Brown was well-known Baptist
preacher in Tennessee at that time and
started overland to northern Illinois
with his wife and seven children, but
died en- route and his body was buried
by the wayside.
A marker was made for the grave,
but the place was forgotten. The mar
bic slab was broken, but the name and
date of death in 1888 made identifica-
tion possible.

FOOD JAR SKUNK TRAP

Winsted, Conn.-Skunks es-
Gaping from a skunk farm in ,
Lovely street caused residents
in that section no little trouble.
Recently several entered Daniel
Ryan's cellar and pushed aside
a heavy cover from a stone jar
and ate the foodstuffs in it.
A miScalculation in this ma
neuver, however, resulted in Il
skunk falling into a crock and
the cover slid back into place,
imprisoning the animal. Ryan
will not apply for a patent on the
skunk trap. Anyone is privileged

Tulsa, Okla.-Adam Manuel, Creek
freedman, died in Colorado recently,
and already there is race on among
some of the residents Of MuskOgee
county to get the appointment of guar
dian for his children. There are five
Of the children living, and the elder
Manuel inherited the allotmentS Of two
who are dead but the guardianship
Is sought because of Luther Manuel,
a minor son, who is believed to be
the richest negro boy in the world.
When the allOtmentS were made for
the Manuel family, those of Luther,
thirteen, and Rafeld, his younger
brother, were in a locality where the
land was worthless for farming pur-
poses. Their father complained that
the land was valueless, but he was
unable to have any change made.
1t turned out that the allotment Of
Luther believed to be worthless, was
in the heart of the Gushing oil field.
Since that field was developed nearly
six years ago, his income from 1t has
amounted to from $4,000 to $4,000
month. The allotment Of Rafield
Manuel is not so valuable. The al
lotments of the other children are
good for agricultural purposes only.
Sarah Rector has been considered
the most fortunate Of all those among
the Creek freedmen who took allOt-
ments in that section of country,
but her fortune is far less than that
of Luther Manuel.

Confesses Old Crime.

Smith Centre, KAMA mystery Of
&c years was cleared up when c. G..
Ray Of Downs, near here, received a
letter from n man in Omaha, who
confessed to setting fire to the Ray
barn in September 1893. The writer
then was boy six years old. His ex-
cuse for confessing the crime at this
late date Is that he "had no luck" at
anything he undertook, and he finally
decided that things would change If
he confessed the wrong done so many
years ago.

Fighting One Another.

At present, owing to the war in Eu-
rope not only are these European
spies operating against the United
States, but they are fighting one an
other. In general they work some
thing like this There Is one man or
woman in charge Of certain piece of
work. Under him are many other per-
sons. He knows them all, but they
do not, as q rule, know one another.
A certain government official or the
representative Of another nation is
supposed to have information wanted
by the agent Of some power. His men
are scattered about Washington so
that the object Of their interest is al
most continually under the eyes of the
organization. One man acts as wait.
er in the hotel or restaurant where
the object Of interest eats. Another
gets a position In the barber shop
where he is shaved. A woman acts
as manicurlst. Still another seeks
his personal acquaintance through
clubs or social functions.
No one Of these secret agents may
find out very much, but each reports
to his chief, for whom the various
threads weave a perfectly leglble
story.
Some time ago line officer Of the
navy made some improvements in the
code, with which he was familiar
through commanding vessels at sea.

REFUSES TO BE JoLLIED.-Ex-

RET OSEO ~ De JOLElEDs-L4A-
President Roosevelt, "the Hughes
master mouthpiece," issued a state
ment Oct. 10 in which he scolds Pres.
Wilson for permitting the violation
of Belgian neutrality. In other words,
if Hughes were president, Roosevelt
would have ordered him to intercede
and thereby caused our country to
be involved in the European war.
1 do not know when or where
Roosevelt lost his hyphen, but am
sure Roosevelt proved he favored a
monarchy in preference to republic
when our sister republics, the Trans
vaaI and the Orange Free State, were
in life-and-death struggle for their
freedom.
A Republican administration with
Roosevelt as secretary of war slept
while the same bunch who now are

shipping the munitions to the king
for the destruction of the republics.
Roosevelt may be able to jolly
some of the people he calls hyphen-

AS a consequence, every man is
working, enjoying peace and pros
perity; our cemeteries are spared
from the dead bodies of soldiers of
the present wars; there are no ag-
grieved mothers, fathers, wives or
sweethearts; no starvation or in
creased pensions.
Then, ladies and gentlemen voters,
is it any wonder that the greatest

for the verdict of mankind and
should there be any doubt about that
verdict being in his favor. Remem-

has Just returned from visit to the
State prison farms at Raiford. Mr..
Andrews says that the farms, while
only two years under State direc-
ticn, are surprisingly well titled and

state of cultivation. He has had

The State grows potatoes by the
hundreds of bushels, and the hogs,

are the finest he has seen anywhere
Four Of the big porkers were on eX-
hib;:lon at the Ocala fair, but not
as prize winners, of course. Their
a,ggreeate weight was over two
thousand pounds.
There are about two thousand
acres under cultivation and being
made ready for the spring planting,

prisoners. The health of the pris-
oners at the farms is excellent. Deep
well water, and perfect sewerage are

Most Of them areworking on honor
