HIDES GOLD IN
 ARTIFICIAL. LEG Cripple Admits Stealing S81 400 in Bullion From Denver
 Mint. OFFICERS FIND LOOT
Irresistible Passion to Touch, Hoard and Hide Gold Only Reason Long Trusted Employee Could
 Give for Crime.

Denver, COlO.-ApprOXima SS1, 400 worth of gold bullion, stolen al intervals from the United States mint at Denver, has been recovered, and Orv1lle Harrington, a lOng-truSted em plOyee of the mint is being held al the county jail charged with the thefts Harrington was arrested as he was preparing to board a car for his home. He admitted the thefts when placed under arrest. The amount stolen was yariously estimated at from SS0.0W to $110OO0, but the sum of $81, ,4W was named in the information fiIed against Harrington.
 DivuIges Hiding Places.
 Harrington was immediately taken to his home, where he divulged the places where he had hidden the bull lion. Most of if had been secreted in a hole in the cement wall in the base ment of his home, while some was found hidden under the cement walk in the back yard.
 Harrington, whose right leg was amputated some time ago, following an injury, has an artificial leg. This leg was hollow and was used as a handy carrier for some of the stolen gold.
 The gold, according to Harrington's reported confession, he would hide in his cellar every evening when he re turned from work. When the hole in the cellar wall had been filled with the bullion Harrington was forced to find another place to conceal his loot. it was said. According to the secret service men, Harrington then care. fully cemented up the hole in the eel lar wall and began to hide the gold under the walk in the rear of his home

IGNORANCE ABOUT ALASKA

Many residents in Valdez have been compelled to wait for several months for parcels sent from Outside, on ac- count of the persistent idea enter tained by the express companies that ttis port as we'll as most of the sotEers in Alaska are frozen in dur ing the winter months. It seems of little avail to inform them that Nome is about the only port in the terri tory which has 10 winter service on account of ice. A short time ego a party in one of the eastern states at tempted to send a case of canned fruits to a Valdez resident and the express company refused to accept the shipment until after June 1, when Alaska ports would "be free from ice" The shipper informed the agent he had lived here for years and knew that Valdez had an all the year around steamship service, but Rule Forty-seven in the red book said diff ferent, and the agent refused to ac- cept the shipment
 Valdez is not the only suffer.
 Juneau, Ketchikan, Cordova and in fact all of the coast towns have had similar experiences.
 A Juneau man wanted to send a package via parcels post from Wash ington, D. C., the home Of the post master general, to Alaska He was told that it could not be sent be- cause navigation was closed"
 The postal clerk even doubted his word when he informed the latter that he had lived in Juneau and that he knew it was an open port all the year round.
 When such is true of postal clerks, what can be expected from conner cial firms who hardly know geo. graphy outside of their own limited trade industry.
 It would seem that here again is a good opportunity for the publicity bureau. The postal clerks, through the post office department, at least might be educated to the true con- ditions.-Juneau Capital.

Shippers Find
Way to Get Cars

Logan. June 2S.--Live stock ship
pers have been doing some complain
ing because it has been impossible
to get stock cars in which to ship
their cattle and hogs to market when
the stuff was ready. However the
shippers have found a way to get the
cars and the railroad companies are
not losing anything by the new
method either. Mr.. Farmer wants
a couple or three cars in which to
send two or three loads Of stock to
market. This Is the way he gets
those cars. He goes to the yards
and buys steer or two or three,
whichever number represents the
number Of cars he needs and has
his steers shipped to Logan, each
one in a car by himself. When the
car gets here the agent notifies the
shipper. He brings In his stock and
loads it into the car his one steer
came in and ships his stuff to mar
ket. The railroad company gets $40
or more for bringing the stock car to
Logan with Just one steer in 1t, In
stead Of being obliged to run an
empty up here for nothing.
Several of our feeders have Sc
cured cars In that way. And not
withstanding the great shortage
"reported"-in stock cars, they seem
to have no trouble in getting them
when they buy some cattle and ship
them out, one to q car.

OF Children Seriously III During En-
tire Year-Ranse in Age From 10
to Years-Hope TO Repeat.

Muscatine, June 2s.--Rare is the
present day family which can boast
Of six children going to the same
school. but even more rare is the one
which can boast of one years perfect
attendance at school for each and
every one OF the six children.
Probably the only family in the
state which has attained this unusual
distinction is the w. J. Kirkpatrick
family residing in Pike township,
near the Buffalo Bluff school.
William, Lowry, Annabelle, Eliza
beth, Helen and Mabel Kirkpatrick
are the children. and in their attend
ance at the Buffalo Bluff school dur
ing the school year Of 1s1s-lS20. they
were as regular as q cathedral clock.
Rain or shine, hot or cold. windy
or calm, the Juvenile sextet made
their way twice a day over the mile
and q quarter Of country road which
separated their home from the little
white, school house. Perhaps they
stopped to play on the way home
when the weather was fine, but sell
dom on the way to school rs none Of
them were ever tardy.
From William, Is. to Lowry, Z. the
youngest, mono of them had a day Of
serious illness during \ the entire
school year, SO then in addition to
their enviable and hitherto una
chievable school record, they were
probably the healthiest young family
in Iowa.
There are two younger children,
Ada and Harley. both under school
age. and thus barring any interven-
ton Of fate, the name Of kirkpatrick
on the attendance roll at Buffalo
Bluff school will be answered to by
at least six voices for several years
to come.
All of them win return to school
next fall and will try to duplicate
their remarkable feat.

Iowa City. June 2S.-A son of

This Is Ryea Six Kim. who man
aged to board steamer at the

tracked to Shanghai by Japanese
agents. following a pursuit that ex-
tended all over eastern China.

deprived Korea Of her independence
Japan forbade the teaching Of Ameri-
can, European and Korean history
and even, Kim says, destroyed hymn
books OF the missionaries because
Onward, Christian Soldiers" was
declared too militant. Kim was given
the privilege of going to a Japanese
school, but decided to flee instead.
He scraped together $500, and
crossed the Yalu river on a junk
disguised as q coolie, entering China
where countless japanese agents
searched trains and arrested fugitive
Koreans. He kept in his coolie rags
however. and travelled safely in third
class coaches until he reached An
tung.
Faces New Perlls.
Reports reached him there, how
ever, that ali outgoing vessels were
being searched and he was afraid to
proceed. Despite his peril, he re-
traced his route southwark to Shang-
hafkwan, Tien-Zin. and finally, to the
free port Of Shanghai, says Kim, the
Japanese had no jurisdiction but the
British tacitly allowed q search by
agents for fleeing Koreans.
His boat reached Singapore and
he was not detected, He boarded
another vessel. bound for London
and again sailed unmolested and
thus reached London Christmas

man, making q business agreement with
another, demands a strict Interpretation Of

much easier with himself.
Conscience says: But you promised me

The man answers: "Oh. we'll, what's the

The trouble is the average resolution Is q
sort Of secret treaty. II resolutions were open
covenants. openly arrived at, more resolutions
would be kept
One man realized this. So whenever he de-
cided to make a resolution, he told his wife
about it. And what his conscience could not
compel him to do, pride would not permit him
to evade. He didn't want his wife to think him
weakling
Others might copy his example. IA
