nahio, IL, yesterday walked from his
home at No. 420S Third avenue, Brook

But then something else happened.
A charming and beautiful woman in
her late twenties walked TO the Sante

and to which Picard had been sent.
You have a man here called Pi-

Picard was pointed out and imme-

"Jules?" queried the jailor. His
name is not Jules-it is Louis"

woman. Jules Lcmoiner-my lover,

She was taken before the examining

has lived a most exemplary life with

Picard was brought in. When he
saw the woman he started violently,
REDEEMED and then confessed.
And the story he told was one OF
the most extraordinary in the annals
of French justice. Every item of it

Every night in the week, it APP

1t never occurred to his wife, faith

investigate she would have found that,

know or could tell, he slept there.
But he did not.
Picard would merely visit the hotel,

PARIS, Aug. pa case of double
life more remarkable even than that
of "Dr. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde" than
that of Balzac's famous character, Cas-
tanicr, the Nucingen bank cashier, has
been discovered in Paris with the sur
render to the police of Louis Picard,
for 20 years cashier Of the Opera
Comique.
During five years Picard absconded
more than half a million francs with
out ever shadow of suspicion resting
on him. To the management of the
Opera Comique he was the very per-
sonification of honesty. Never fault
was found with his books.
To his middle aged and faithful wife
he was, 80 she believed, q faithful hus-
band whom she dreamed of one day
seeing chairman Of the directing board
of the opera.
To his hundreds of friends and ac-
quaintances he was a thrifty, abstemi-
Gus nOnsmoker who never missed day
at his desk and whose life seemed
wrapped up in his work.
Every morning at o n. m. he ar
rived at his office. Every nOontime,
from IL until 2, he lunched at a lit
tie cafe opposite the opera, afterward
taking his coffee on the terrace of a
cafe on the bouleyardS.
MODEL OF ECONOMY.
Every night at G o'clock he took
off his alpaca working coat, donned his
rusty old frock coat and Derby hat
and took the subway home TO his mod
est flat on the fourth floor (no baths)
of an ancient building in the poorer
quarter surrounding the Bastillc.
In all those five years he was never
seen by his wife, friends or associates
to spend an unnecessary sou. Never
did his demeanor reveal the slightest
hint of dissipation, of slecpless nights.
Even the unerring sagacity Of a wife
failed to detect any evidence that she
was being betrayed.
And then the amazing, the unbeliev-
able thing, happened.
Picard walked into the police sta
ton of the Opera quarter and an
nounced calmly that he had come TO
be arrested.
Il am an unfaithful servant" he
said. "In five years / have stolen
504,500 francs. You can verify it by
these indications which l give you as
a key to my books
Thereafter he was mute. No amount
of questioning could make him amplify
his confession.
What had he done with the money?
Picard wouldn't tell.
Detectives obtained the address of
his flat, thinking that there they
would find the key of the puzzle. But
TO their establishment they found n
flat devoid of even the ordinary COM
fort Picard's legitimate salary would
have justified.
Picard's wife had fled from the
scorn Of her neighbors to her mothers
home in the country. The janitor,
questioned, said that the Picards had
lived a model life.
"Extravagant! repeated the jani-
tor, as If astounded. why, the Pr
cards were the most close-fisted ten
ants in this whole building. There
were nights when from very economy
they would dine on potatoes alone"
The detectives seemed up against a
blank wall.

Xmas Trees Becoming a
Profitable N. j. Crop

The foresters of the Department of
Conservation and Development are
encouraged by rapid increase in the
growing of evergreens for Christmas
trees among owners of forest planta-
tions in New Jersey. 1t is predicted
that within a few years, when the
present plantations reach the proper
size for such purposes, New Jersey
growers will be able to supply large
portion of the Christmas require
ments of the State from homegrown
stock.
In 1924, balsam, spruce and fir
Christmas trees were sold for from
81 to SO and more on the streets of
New Jersey cities, and these attrac-
tive prices, which can be obtained
for trees which would be inevitably
crowded out and die if left in the
woods or plantation, indicate that
growing Christmas trees should un-
doubtedly grow in favor in New Jer-
sey, without any injurious effect on
the future timber supply of the State

To prepare white Christmas trees
take branches of evergreen Of desired
size and dip In thick starch to which a
small box of borax has been added and
while trees are still damp sprinkle
each with artificial snow. The trees
when dry may be placed In pots or
baskets and the top of earth covered
with moss. A larger tree may be made
to glitter with artificial snow by
sprinkling it on while the branches are
moistened with glue. Tufts of cotton
and glass icicles may be used for

Christmas Card That
Ended His Loneliness

EOR several years circumstances had
l. made James Wingall move from
town to town so that he seemed to lose
almost the entire connection with his
past. He was so occupied with trade
he did not note the passing years, nor
realize that almost all his schoolmates
now were married and he a bachelor
of thirty-five.
One Christmas Eve, however, when
he returned to an empty hotel room,
1t was with feelings that In spite of his
business success. something vital was
lacking In his life. Perhaps that was
why he disliked Christmas so. When
business ceased, nothing else remained.
In the solitude of his room, he
opened the few Christmas cards which
still sought him out. Every one he
scanned he tossed aside, except one
from the first girl he had ever
kissed. He held 1t tenderly and read
1t many times. "YOu faithful DEAR"
he murmured, and going to the tele-
phone, inquired when he could catch
train. He had decided to go home
and see his friends again, and find
partner, II he could, to make life
really success.-H. Lucius Cook.

DAWES SEES FILlBUSTER
EXCEED VETO POWERS
Says Fact That One Man Has Such
Rights Makes Senate Rule
Change Necessary.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 30.-Vice
President Dawes believes that rules
under which at times one Senator ex-
ercises a power greater than the veto
OF the President brings the United
States Senate into disrepute, demoral-
ICES its procedure and interferes with
It's power to act properly under its
constitutional authority. The Vice
President is a speaker today before
the Republican Women's Club of
Illinois.
Explaining his fight on tilibustering
and urging the proposition OF majority
cloture, or the right to close debate,
Mr.. Dawes said that no one wanted to
deprive Senator or Il minority of the
right to be fully heard on any question
and at all times. The purpose Of
those advocating a change in the Sen
ate rules was TO prevent man from
prolonging his speech unnecessarily
for the purpose of destroying the
greater right Of the majority to legis
late.
