Smith stopped his automobile in
front of Washington, ID. c., depart
ment store and went inside to do bit
of shopping. Coming out a short
time later he saw husky, determin-
ed-looking policeman standing guard
over the machine, evidently bent on
placing its owner under arrest for
something he had done or not done.
Instantly it flashed over Smith what
the trouble was: he had stopped the
auto in front of fire-plug, an Of
Tense in the eyes of the law because
in case of fire it would hamper the
work of the fire department.
Being rather crafty fellow and a
firm believer in the "safety-frst" pol
icy, Smith Immediately resolved on
what course he would pursue. Instead
of walking up to his machine and al
lowing himself to be made a prisoner
he calmly made his way up the street
to his Office, just as if he had no con-
nection what ever with the auto be-
side which the cop was camped. Ar
irving at the Office, he promptly tele-
phoned the police department, ask
ing that an effort be made to locate
his missing six-cylinder Jolt which he
described in detail.
The police department unlimbered
and hustled to find the Stolen" car.
An hour or two later, cop with Q
smiling, triumphant countenance call
ed at the office and informed him
that the car had been found, the thief
of thieves having abandoned it right
in front of big department store.
The watchful policeman who had TAX
en- charge of the machine and wait
ing long and patiently to arrest its
law-breaking owner was somewhat
disappointed to find that his vigil had
been for naught and when he learns
how the willy Smith escaped, the
chances are that he will be little
"sore."

Stray Bullet Enters House

st. Johns.-Friday morning about
1880, Mrs. Hugh Bowles was startled
by a report of gun and the falling
Of broken glass in the west window of
the front room of her home on East
Higham street. Upon investigating,
she found circular hole in the win
dow pane about two inches across,
nearly opposite where she had been
sitting at the piano few minutes be-
fore. The bullet was from 22-cali-
Der rifle and was found lodged in the
wall opposite the window. 1t had
evidently passed directly in front of
the piano, where Mrs. Bowles had
been sitting. Mrs. Bowles, her two
year-old son, and her small brother
were the only ones in the house.
1t was plain from the straight path
in which the bullet travelled, that it
must have been fired from. point on
a level with the window. AS the
house is on an elevation above the
surrounding land, it is mystery how
a random shot, if such it was, should
have entered the house in that man.

Had He Proposed To All?

Among the stories told by crowd
of ministers when they got together
at convention in San Diego, Calf,
some time ago was the following: A
young couple entered preachers
study just as he was ready to begin
morning worship in the church and
requested him to marry them. In
order not to delay the regular SER
vices, he asked them to wait until the
conclusion of the sermon when he
would marry them publicly.
When the sermon was finished he
announced: "Now will those persons
wishing to be married please come
forward?" Eleven women and one
man promptly answered the call.

Runaway Boy Caught

Hastings.-Impatient with his
home surroundings, a eleven-year-old
boy of this city ran away from home
several days ago. His father notified
Sheriff Manni and the officer notified
officers in surrounding counties to
watch for the youngster. On Tues
day he was informed that the boy had
been caught in Charlotte. The officer
has learned that the little fellow,
acting with wisdom not expected of
one of his tender years, had work
ed" his way to the Eaton county
capital. At Thornapple lake he stole
a watch from a motor car and walked
on to Vermontville, where he sold
the watch for a small sum with which
he paid part of the cost of a pair of
shoes. The dealer trusted" him for
balance of forty cents. Along the
railroad he picked up old iron, which
he sold. With the proceeds he pur-
chased half-fare ticket to Charlotte,
where he stayed until officers landed
him. The little boy was arraigned in
juvenile court on this Wednesday
morning and released after Judge
Hyde had explained the seriousness
to him and his father. To the latter
the court also gave some wholesome
advice.

Mining Brings Wealth to Bows

thAssAsb. SD $500 ~ 1919
Portland, Mich.-Placer mining in
Portland has yielded several boys a
handsome profit. The mine is the
site of the old Portland Manufacture
ing Co.'s factory, which burned a few
years ago, converting hundreds of
small brass castings into nuggests of
various. sizes and shapes. After the
bricks and other debris had cooled off
as much of the brass as could be cas-
lily located was salvaged, and the
small boys were given free license to
convert what they could still pick out
of the ruins into their own uses. One
junk dealer has paid about $3.50 to the
boys who have brought brass to him,
picked out of the wreckage.
The favorite method, since picking
became rather thin, is to rake up a
lot of the loose stuff and place it in a
pan, which is then taken to the river
and the contents washed. 1t is then
easy to detect the brass.
The two Hyland brother received
as high as $40 for one days efforts at
the old, ruin and it is said their total
receipts amounted to 500.

A ROYAL Miracle"

The king of Italy has been respon-
sible for one of the most extraordin-
airy occurrences of the war. His
majesty has been constant in his
visits to his wounded soldiers, and
one day he arrived quite Unexpectedly
at a certain field hospital.
Among the patients there was a
young lieutenant who had been strick-
en- quite dumb by the bursting of an
Austrian shell. The poor fellow was
lying in bed feeling very miserable,
when, all of sudden, he glanced up
and found the king standing by his
side.
In moment he started up in
amazement at the unexpected honor,
and shouted at the top Of his voice:
"His majesty the king!" and burst
into flood Of tears.
The emotional shock, coming as it
did, so Unexpectedly, had completely
restored his power of speech, and
even the king himself was overcome
by emotion at this extraordinary
miracle. "-Pearson's
