"A FRANK JAMES STORY. —r Exciting Encounter ot- the The“ “Wanted” Man with an Un- 1 ' witting Policeman. When Frank James, the former out law and train robber, was in Kansas City, 'Mo., recently, the Star,‘of that city, says, he told the following story to one of the. judges of the circuit court: “Before my brother Jesse. was killed and before I surrendered I and my wife were staying in Baltimore, living very quietly and under an assumed name, because there was a reward of $20,000 for my capture. I was walkingleisure- 1y along the. street. one: day when some one caught me by the arm. I turned. and saw it was a policeman. The po- liceman said rather sharply: ‘I want you; come with me.’ The thought flashed into .my mind at once that I was recognized and arrested. I was heavily armed, and, of course, I did not intend to be taken alive under any cir- cumstances. I remember now very dis- tinctly that a feeling of pity for the peg liceman came over me, for my mind was made up instantly to "kill him and try to escape. But I did not losemy Pres" ence of mind. 'I asked him: “ ‘What do you want me for?’ ‘ “ ‘There’s been a murder down the street-,’ he said. . . “ ‘Well, I didn’t- do it,’ Itold him. “ ‘I know that, but. I want you to sit on the coroner’s jury.’ . “I felt. so much relieved and so good over it. that I had to laugh in his face. I told him I was not a~ resident of Balti- more, but was a stranger there visit— ing some friends. The policeman apolo— gized and walked away. ‘I went and told my wife about it», and it made her so uneasy that. she insisted that w-e must not. stay in Baltimore another day, and we did not. We went from. there to New York.” THE SOLDIER’S CHECK. It Speed‘ily Finds Its “fay Into the Possession of the Can- teen Man. “'hen the soldiers get their discharge from the army they receive from the local paymaster’s- office new, crisp checks. These checks, calling for any- where from $50 to $100 for privates, grow very warm in the pockets of some of their owners and the first desire is to get. rid of them. In fact, many of the boys hardly wait until the ink is dry before some friendly canteen man has it in his till. Many of the. soldiers, being unacquainted in the city, have no one to identify them at- the banks, and are forced to have them cashed where they trade, says the Detroit Free Press. It is no uncommon occurrence in the paymaster’s ofiice nowadays to see peo« ple comingin with checks in their hands that have been refused at the banks. This is due to a technicality, and in most cases is straightened out by the paymast-er. One woman went to the office one-day last week, and said she had cashed a. check for $60 for a soldier. She had sent the check, with several others. to one of the city banks, on deposit. The check had been. forward- ed to a Chicago bank for collection, and the Chicago bank refused. to cash it, for the reason that in indorsing it, the soldier had failed. to add his position, company letter and regiment number to his signature. This is the casein many instances. The checks are all certifies to the missing identifications in most cases. FEARED THE- PRESIDENT. The Ludicrons Turn Given an Arrest Made by a Chicago Dep- my Marshal. The mode of procedure in arresting a culprit under the laws of the United States is- somewhat more complicated_ than the ordinary issuance of a warrant- by a. justice of the peace for violation of the city or state laws, says the Chica- go Times—Herald. The warrant. issued by Uncle Sam’s law dispensers begins with this formal caption: “The Presi- dent. of the United States of America—— To the Marshal of the United Stat-estor the Northern District of Illinois and to His Deputies, or to Any or Either of Them.” The effect of these awe-inspir- ing words on prisoners who are con— fronted with a- warrant. for the first time is sometimes- startling—and al- ways effective. Chief Deputy Marshal llowe, of the local office, recently served papers on a defendant and had an ex- perience which may be taken as an il- oners. He found a man. for whom he had been searching several days, and arrest. He started to read: “The Pres- ident of the United,” when the pris— oner, with a look of terror on his face, stopped him. “That’s enough,” he said; “if I.’rr.~;idcut McKinley has heard of my oiiense [’13: up against-it. Take me along.” Afr. liowe had no trouble in taking the terrified prisoner before a ‘t‘icii Protected Against Gold.

Among the fishes in one of the tanks at the Aquarium. are two parrot fishes from Bermuda. Both are strikingly colored, but in one of them green pre- dominates, while in the other the tint most prominent is blue, says the New York Sun. ' The great thing with captive fishes is to get them to eat. A fish with a. good appetite, that will eat the food pro‘vid-f ed, is likely, other conditions being favorable, to get along; and every ef- fort is made to give the fishes food such as they have been accustomed to in na- ture- or such as will tempt their appe— titles. In applying this treatment the parrot fish, which in nature subsis-t‘on mol- lusks and crustaceans, are fed here on shrimp, cut-up herring, cut—up clams, and killies. Pretty much all fishes like live killies; and in fish ‘circles the shrimp also is commonly esteemed a delicacy. And it is cufiomary at the Aquarium to supply tth things in such quantities as may be best for the. fis-hes’ welfare; most. corfimonly, espe- cially in the case of shrimps, in limited quantities, as. a sort of relish or dessert. Thusafter the hearty meal, of chopped- up clam or whatever the principal. food furnish-ed. to the various fishes may be, the man who feeds them goes along with a deep pan containing live killies, which he gives to the fishes that care for them in the several tanks according to their desires or his own discretion. When he comes to the tank where the parrot fish are thegreen parrot. sweeps around and takes in the first killie dropped into the water. It is notrav- enously fond of them, but it. likes them well enough to come forthem. 'But the stay made here is not. very long—the green parrot’s wants are very easily supplied; it will .eat one big killie or two small ones, and that is all. SCARED INTO APPENDICITIS. New Orleans Man Read All About the Disease and Then Came Down with. an Attack. “I had appendicitis the other day,” said a St. Charles street. business man, reports the New Orleans Times-Demo- crat, “that is to say I had it to all in tents and purposes. This is the way I contracted it: About a week ago Ibor- rowed a medical work from a friend to look up a point about. which I was curi- ous. It was a work on diagnosis, and among other things it gave a minute description of th.symptoms- of appen- dicitis. I have always been much afraid of the malady, and that chapter had a hideous fascination for me. I read it. and reread it, and as I did so it seemed to me that some of the premonitory' symptoms coincided exactly with cer— tain aches and pains I had felt for sev- eral days. I got alarmed at once, and that night was panic—stricken with a severe cramp a little northeast of my That I knew to be the fatal spot», and needless to say I didn’t sleep a wink. By morning I had all the symptoms of a typical case, and could scarcely get. around to see the doctor. I began to tell him my story when he stopped me. ‘How do you come to know so much about. the disease?’ he asked. I replied proudly that I had been reading up on it. ‘The dickens you have!’ he replied. ‘Well, you get right out of this Office, confoundyou! and don’t waste any more of my time!’ Then he explained that every medical student always had all the diseases on record, in regular ordér, just as he studies ’em, and I began to feel better. I went home, returned the blasted book, and am n-ox' entirely out of danger, thank you. It was the quickest recov- ery on record.” ' THE FIRST POST OFFICE. A Private Penny Post Established in France in the Reign of Louis XIV. Thexfact- that there is a regular mail route through Alaska. and that ev'e-nre mote towns in- Africa are not without postal facilities. is in these progressive times accepted quit-e as a matter of course. Yet this wonderful system, which‘ has reached out. until it. in— cludes every country on the face of the earth, had its beginning in themind of an: ingenious Frenchman who lived less than 250 years ago. In 1658, early in the reign of Louis XIV, M. de Vel-ayer established a pri- ‘vate penny post; says a writer in Har- per‘s Round Table. - Boxes were setup at the street. corners for the reception of letters; Otlices were opened in vari- ous quarters of Paris; collections were made once a day from the street boxes, foil-owed many. hours later by a single delivery. and thus the first pest office in the world was established. M. de Velaycr was sogr-eatly en- (enraged by the success of his enter— prise that in order to develop it- still further lie printed certain- forms of billets or not-cs which were intended to cover all the ordinary requirements of business in great towns. These. forms contained blanks which were intended to be filled up by the pen with such special matters as might be necessary to complete the writer‘s object. The idea at once become pop— ular, and the printed forms accom- panied the expansion of the postal service throughout the larger cities of France, and it was many years before . they fell into disuse.
