RATS ATE REVENUE STAMPS
Important Internal Question Is Raised
by Rodents in Iowa DlstIlIery
Warehouse.

Dubuque, Ia.-Rats have raised an
important internal revenue question.
Some $500 worth of stamps were past
ed upon large number of whisky
barrels in Rhomberg's distillery ware
house.
The rats. having a taste for the
paste, ate them all off slick and clean.
The owner would not pay for any more
stamps, the rats would not confess
Judgment and the whisky could not be
sold without its patriotic insignia.
But that was back in 1869. When
Lars Bladine, collector Of internal rev.
enue for the state of Iowa, raised the
question to solve the general trend of
thought on the part Of those interro-
gated. 1t was not so much the question
as to where the whisky could be lo-
Gated. He found the case In the In
ternal revenue record.

cook who In stories by David Graham

islation by her hash for Senator Hanna
at his home in the published reeollec-
tions of statesmen.
The days of her prestige were from
1897 to 1900, when she made corned
beef hash for Senator IIanna at his
home in Washington This famous
dish was produced every Sunday
morning at ten O'clock at the Sunday
morning breakfasts of Mr. Hanna,
which were attended by many of the
leading men of the country.
President Mckinley himself, who
had been an admirer of AIaggie's
culinary art for many years and had
taken Sunday breakfasts occasionally
with Hanna at Cleveland would often
leave the White House on Sunday
morning and walk to the Hanna home
for breakfast. After the hash became
famous, Senator. Hanna secured many
extra leaves for his table, which was
capable of indefinite extension. 1t was
said that the senator's and congressman
in the iron-cIad Republican district in
vented political crises as an excuse for
dropping in on Hanna early Sunday
morning. Maggie was later induced to
dictate her hash formula, which was
widely circulated in American cities
and foreign capitals, but her MASTER

London. Scientists say the Darwin-
ian theory that Africa may have been
the original home of the human race
received partial corroboration from the
discovery just made in northern Rho
desia of fossilized skull which gives
new orientation to the early history
of primitive man.
The skull, which is complete save for
the lower jaw, resembles that of the
ape man (pithecanthropus erectus)
discovered in Java in 1892, which mas
been regarded as the most primitive
human skull known until now.
The Java skull, however, lacked a
face In this respect the Rhodesian
fossil reveals type curiously similar
to what Is known as the Gibraltar
skull.
Moreover, collar bone, leg bone
and part of a hip bone believed to
belong to the skull also have been un-
earthed, and these may enable anato-
mists to reconstruct the main parts of
the whole Rhodesian skeleton.

Charles Burger she was brought be-

helping to cut up the body, throwing
parts Of 1t into the river and burying
the remainder in park outside of

The husband, Ernest John, was EN-
ployed at the Grand hotel here as first
floor waiter and had been for some
ten years. Two years ago a vacancy
having occurred on the same floor,
John introduced one of his friends,
Charles Burger, to the management,
and he was given a job Burger hav-

Madeleine, six.

60pD0 francs.
From then on Burger thought only
of various ways of getting the money.
Matters went so far that Burger, ex
aspefaied, picked up knife from the
table and stabbed John to death. This
happened in the presence of the lat
ter's wife. Losing no time as to how
they should get rid of the body, Bur
ger suggested to Mrs. John that they
.cut 1t up. Clearing the dining room
table, they put Johns body on it and,

As soon as Burger returned they
set to their CHASTITY task, witnessed
only by little Madeleine too Mortified

midnight. the three left their fiat
each carrying a bundle one containing

others an arm each. and made for the

we're thrown into the river The next
day they left for the Clamart Wood,
bearing with them, in two separate
sackings the head and legs of their

A few weeks later the trunk was
found some ~ miles out of Paris in
the river, and the next day the arms
appeared. It was not until IS months
after that the murderers were found
and with them, the head and legs,
for they led the police authorities to
the spot where the latter had been

threw most of the blame on the wom-
