New York.-A dream of adventure
and Mexican conquest was shattered
when two messenger boys of J. p.
Morgan & Co., who had fed to Phila-
delphia with $10,515 of the firms
money, were taken before Magistrate
Handy in the Tombs court and ar
raigned on a charge Of grand larceny.
The prisoners-William McManus, fif-
teen years old, and his companion.
William Balm, who is year older
were deeply repentant.
Before their arraignment McManus
and Balm told how their imaginatiOns,
fred by cigarettes and dime novels,
had lured them to realms of thrill and
action far beyond their own workaday
world. What they wanted, however,
was not money, but adventure. In fact,
he said he and his pals" had no idea
of the amount of money they had stolen
until they opened the bundle and
found 1t contained several $100 bills.
Only Needed $3.50.
All the money they needed for their
plans, according to young Balm, was
$3.50. With that amount they intended
to reach Kentucky and supply them
selves with horses, Balm having read

CRIPPLED DUCK IN COURT
Judge Finds Bird Summing Self In Win
dow and Turns It Over to the
Game Warden.

Oshkosh, Wis.-When Municipal
Judge A. H. Goss entered his court
room one morning recently he was
surprised to find a duck seated near
an open window calmly summing itself.
How the duck came to be there the
Judge was unable to learn, but he
acted on the assumption that it was
seeking protection of the law.
While the judge is not familiar
with the jargon of ducks, he decided
to investigate He found that the
bird was a cripple, being minus one
leg.
Failing to elicit any information
from the duck as to it's excuse for
invading the courtroom, the Judge de-
cided that he was the victim of some
practical joker.
The bird was turned over to the
game warden, with orders to see that
it was properly protected in the fu-
ture.

The Answer.

Mr.. Interlocutor, said the end
man at the Commuterville Amateur
Minstrel show, Il want to ask you a
question"
Very well, Mr.. Bones. What is your
luestion?"
why does the railroad company
always pick out single men for con-
luctors and brakemen?"
Before I answer your question, Mr..
Bones replied the interlocutor, I'D
ike to ask you one. How do you
know that the railroad company al
ways selects single men for conductors
and brakemen?"
because no married man would
ever dare to slam a door the way
hose fellows do"

porting the loss of the stone. It's too
valuable a thing to leave to chance.
Don't you see that when those prison
ers of yours discover that it has been
lost they'll put UP an awful howl?
Then if any investigation is made, it'll
only show that you had the stone in
your possession, and that you declined
to turn it over to the priest. The pa
persIl make capital of it, and you'll
achieve a very undesirable notoriety.
Report the matter at once. II you'll
write out a wire I'll send it for you.
When will you be back?"
