A DETECTIVE CAMERA '
I turned into my berth, “ lower 5,”
with the firm satisfaction, born ‘of
long experience as a traveler, of a
long, comfortable night’s sleep ahead
of me.
The singing of the wheels, the rushes
over bridges. the crooning of the
wind as it caresses the sides of the
car, the flashing lights as you pass
rapidly through a way station, the
deep-toned bell and shrill whistle—-
these are the ingredients of a good
traveler‘s soothing syrup, and I was
a good traveler. So I was soon asleep.
my money and watch under my pil—
low. and my pocket camera (which i
invariably carry) in the little ham-
mock ovcr my head. .
How long I slept I did not know,
when I awoke with a start and a
cry of pain to find my hand pressing
against my right temple, which stung
as though I had been shot. In my
half-asleep condition I raised myself
from the pillow and looked at my
hand, on the fingers of which was
some warm blood. Applying my hand-
kerchief to the wound, I soon stopped
‘the flow, for the cut was simply an
abrasion of the skin, although my
head ached as though I had been
struck by some weapon.
I looked about, and there on my
pillow lay my pocket camera. I
smiled, for ideas of an assault had
flashed through my mind. It was all
plain enough; the camera loosened
from the hammock by a roll of the
train had fallen on my head, and the
sharp corner, striking my temple, had
done the damage that had awakened
me.
I pulled the curtain aside and looked
out. It was bright daylight, and we
were just leaving Baltimore, so I had
a couple of hours more in which to
sleep. I turned over, and in another
instant was again lost to conscious-
ness.
lThe porter woke me a few miles
outside of \Vashington, and I started
to dress. Putting my hand under the
pillow, I withdrew it again with a
cry, for my watch and pocketbook
were gone. I called the conductor,
and told him of my loss.
“Arrest the porter,” said he, “and
the brakcman who came through dur-
ing the night. Hurriedly clothing my-
self, and saying nothing more about
my loss to any one but the conductor,
I waited for our arrival in \Vashing-
ton. The conductor gave orders for
none to leave the car until a detect-
ive had come aboard.
The detective could do no more than
search the employes of the car, and
put them under temporary arrest on
my charge, and I will say that the
fellow passengers on board were bet—
ter natured and more willing to lend
what little aid they could than I
Would have been under such circum-
stances. \Vith a detective, conductor
and our prisoners I went to the police
station and told my story. It was
my opinion, as well as the officer‘s,
that I had been robbed by somebody
who had got off at Baltimore, but as
eight men had left the car at Balti-
more there was little clew to work on
in that direction. At any rate I was
$400 and a $300 watch out of pocket.
I telegraphed back to New York for
money, and then transacted my busi—
ness. While waiting for the cash
from my firm, however, I spent the
time strolling about the magnificent
city, with my little camera, snap-shot.
ting Carlisle, the Treasury building, a
fight in F street and the monument,
as well as several typical scenes I en-
countered about thc market, till my
roll of films was full. I discovered
this when I went to turn the button
for another picture, but was surprised
to find that it did not respond to my
twist. Strange! I remembered tak-
ing only eleven pictures, and should
have had one more film left. But I
supposed I had unconsciously turned
two films at once, and let the matter
slip my mind.
In a week I returned to New York,
and oneof the first things I did was to ‘
take my camera full of pictures to a
photographer for development.
The next day I dropped in to get
his completed work, and looked over
the prints with mm.
“They’re all excellent except one,"
said he. This is your best subject,
too, but you didn’t have enough light.”
“Why,” said I, “ they all had the
same exposure, and were taken in
the middle of the day.”
“Not this one,” said he. “It’s really
a remarkable subject. Tell me, how
And, holding
the film up to the light, for he had
not yet printed it, he showed me a
picture that made me jump with as-
tonishment and grab it from his
hands
There on the gelatine I saw—-—but
you’ll scarcely believe me—I saw the
picture of a man’s face, the eyes glar-
ing down at something before him,
his left hand, which was holding e
curtrln aside, grasping a pocketbook
and watch. and his other hand hidden
outride Ill-c- lower limit of the photo-
graph, but evidently stretched for—
ward as if to catch or grasp some-
thing.
‘ “By heaven!” I cried, “do you know
what this is?”
“What is it?” , .
“It’s the picture of the man who
robbed me in a sleeping car on my
last trip.” And then I told him the
whole remarkable story.
“I never heard of such a thing,”
said he. “It’s astonishing! Why,
when the thief was in the act of rob-
bing you he evidently knocked down
your camera—but-it doesn’t seem pos-
sible.”
“It must be though,” said I. “When
he knocked itdown it ‘went off’ of
its own accord when it hit me, and
being focussed on the thief took his
picture. It’s ,wonderfull”
lVell, to make a long story short,
he managed to get a print of the neg-
ative, faint as it was, that gave an
admirable impression of the thief. I
sent copies to the chiefs of police in
Baltimore and \Vashington, and to
the conductor of the car, who remem-
bcrcd such a man leaving the car at
a former city. He was finally appro-
hcndcd, accused and confessed, and I
got my watch back. The Thief got

Doesn’t Care for Leap Year.
She snapped her fingers disclaim-
fully.
“That for leap year!” she said. “I
wouldn’t give one common year for a
whole bushel of them.”
“Perhaps,” said her dearest friend,
with that solicitude for which dearest
friends are noted, “some one has given
you the mitten.”
“Not at all. He jumped at the
chance to got me, and we're engaged."
The dearest friend suggested that
she didn’t see just what fault could
be found with leap year under those
circumstances, the complaint usually
coming from girls who had made a
trial and failed to score.
“W'hy, there’s nothing artistic
about it,” explained the engaged girl.
“It isn‘t sportsmanlike to bag your
game that way, and there’s no real
excitement or fun in it—just a little
nervousness and it‘s all over. Any
girl can ask a man to marry her, but
it’s more of a trick to make a man
ask her. That calls for careful and
artistic work. My ’95 engagement
was twice the sport of the ’96 affair.”—

The Great Queen.
The teacher was going over the good
old story of King Solomon and his wis-
dom. ‘
“Now, dears, who was the great
queen who travelled so many miles
to see the king?”
.Silence prevailed in the class.
“Why, you do know, all of you. The
queen who came to see the king?”
The name had been forgotten by the
class. In order to help them the kind
but misguided teacher began to offer
a little assistance.
“You do know, I am sure. The name
begins with an S, and she was a very
great queen."
Just then up shot a little hand, and
out spoke the triumphant voice of the
little auburn-haired girl. She trans-
fixed thc listening school room with
the following brief statement:

much more satisfactory to the 'ordi-

If he had occasion to use his side-
hill plow. his neighbor Jacks had for-
gotten to return it. His double-edged
ax was never at home when he
needed it; his neighbor Black had
forgotten to return it. His big kettle,

at home when he wanted it; neighbor
Sly had forgotten to return it. His

most obliging follow. They have burr
rowed him almost to the verge of
poverty, and the only thing they fail
to borrow is a good-sized mortgage,
which, perhaps, was brought about
because he was too obliging for his
own good.
Give Us 3. Tariff on Barley.
If the next congress undertakes to
revise the tariff, let it pay some at-
tention to barley. This is the one
cereal upon which can be imposed
protective duty which will be of posi-
tive and direct benefit to our farmers.
The producing districts in Canada lie
convenient to the consuming centers
of New York and the east generally,
this section getting a considerable part
of its requirements from across the
border at a low freight and a low
tariff. The latter is now 30 per cent
ad valorem (equals 10 @ 15 cents per
bushel) against the old rate of 30
This in turn hurts the market

Bone ‘Meal for Stock.
Almost every good farmer salts his
stock, but how many of them give
their animals bone meal? Cows need
it in making milk and young animals
need it for bone growth. Old pas-
tures are especially deficient in this
material. It has gone year by year to
the dairy and the slaughter house,
until there is but little left. This is
why cattle search for. bone and con-
sider charcoal a delicacy—J. L. Her-
sey. '
Celery Raising Unprofitablc.
Celery raisers in western Michigan
are much disappointed this season be
cause of low prices. There is also a.
disease which does great damage dur-
ing the process of bleaching. The
leaves and stalk rot, making the pro-
duct unnlarkctable. The best, plan
yet found to be of any benefit in com-
bating this is to take the boards and
earth away and allow the sun and
wind to dry the rotted portions.
