“Wanted” Man w‘ithanlln-
witting Policeman.
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
were staying in Baltimore, living very
quietly and under an assumed name,
for my capture. ' I was walking leisure-
ly 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 verydis-
tinctly that a feeling of pity for the po—
liceman came over me,.for my mind was
made up instantly to kill him and try
to estape. But I did not lose my pres-
ence of mind. I asked him:
“ ‘Wha-t do you want me for ?’
“ ‘There’s been a murder down the
street-,’ he said. ‘
“ ‘Well, I didn’t do it,’ I told 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 tolaugh in his face.
I told himI was not a-_resid-ent 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 we
.must nOt stay in Baltimore another
day, and we did not. We went from
there to New York.”
THE sommais CHECK.
It Speed-Hy Finds Its Way 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 office 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
fpaymaster. One woman went to the
gofiice one day last week, and said‘shc
had cashed a check for $60 fora 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 case in
many instances. The checks are all
sent back here and Paymaster Pickett
certifies to the missing identifications
in most cases. '
FEARED THE PRESIDENT.
The Lndicroun Turn Given an Arrest
Mad-e by a Chicago Dep-
uty 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 orstatelaws, says theChica-
go Times-Herald. The warrant issued
by Uncle Sam’s law dispensers begins
with this‘-form‘al.\pcaption: “The Presi-
dent of tthnit-ed Stat-es of America—
To the Marsh‘zil‘of the United Statesfor
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
Rowe, of the local oiiice,recently-served
papers on a. defendant and had an ex-
perience which may be taken as an il-
lustration of the usual effect'on pris—
oners. He found a man fol whom he
had been searching several days, and
forthwith produced a warrant .for his
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 President McKinley has heard
' Sent to any Ad dresg l of my offense I’m up againstit. Take

me along.” Mr. Rowe had no trouble in
taking the terrified prisoner before a
' commissioner.
“’ell Protected Against Cold.
The dirtiness of the Afghan is
proverbial and it is said that during the
last Afghan war Gen. Roberts once or-
dered one to be washed; Two soldiers
stripped the prisoner and scrubbed
him for two hours with formidable
brushes and soft soap. Then they threw
down their brushes in disgust and went
to' their captain. “What is it, men?”
he said. “Well. sir,” they replied, “we
have. washed th'a-thfghan chap for two.
hours, but it is no good. After scrub-
bing him, sir, for two hours, till our
prms ached fit to drop off. blest if we
did not come upon another suit of
clothes.”

death. Emily helped in the education
of her younger brothers and sisters,
and after the family removed to Paris
she found an unexpected and unsought
opening into journalism. Her mother
brought excellent: introductions. to
Paris, which secured admission to the
court circles at the Tuileries, and
Emily Crawford had thus an opportu-
nity of studying life at the gay French
cpurt in the days of the! empire. The
young girl wrote accounts of what she
saw to a friend in London, and her letr
ters chanced to be shown to the editor
of the Morning Star, who straightway
requested that the vivacious writer
would contribute a weekly letter to his
columns. Her marriage. a few years
later, with Mr: George Morland Craw—
ford, of Chelsfield Court lodge, Kent,
the Paris correspondent of the Daily
News, brought her into the full swing
of the literary and journalistic life of.
the French capital. . .
Anold oil painting of Mrs. Crawford
at this period. shows her to have been
areal Irish beauty, with gloss-y brown
hair, deep blue eyes and a: piquant
smile about her pretty mouth. The.
brown locks are silvered now, but. Mrs.
Crawford is still bright and young in
spirit, vivacious in conversation and
fond of a joke.
TENERIFE DRAGON TREE.
In Many Respect: It In the; Most Pe-
culiar Plant Growth of Which
We Have Knowledge.
-Perh-aps the strangest vegetable in
the world is the dragon tree of Tene-a
rife, one of the Canary islands. It is a
sort of giant asparagus, according to
some, the dead branches serving as. a
support for the crowns. Humboldt es-
.timated one specimen to be 6,000 years
old. New roots, as they come'into be-
ing, encircle the original stein, which
is hid far away inside, and the roots
v. hich becOme detached from the stem
may be seen. hanging, withered, in the
.upper'part of the tree. 'The trunk is
generally hollow:
The hollow of one great tree, which
perished in a storm in 1867, was used as
a temple by the natives of Tene-rife be-
fore Europeans lauded on the island.
When the Spanish took possession of
the island the hollow was changed into

(Strangest Vegetable Growth in the World.)
a church and mass was-said there by the
missionaries. This tree was 48 feet
around and 95 feet high. The. sap of
this tree is called dragon’s blood, and'is
an article of commerce. It used to be
employed - in medicines, but now is
used chiefly for mixing with paints and
varnishes, and for e-mbalming purposes.
Thene are other trees-of adifierent
species from the dragon trees of Tene-
rife, the saps of which are called drag-
on‘s blood. They grow in the East In-
dies and inSouth America. But the
dragon tree of Tenverife has a reputa—
tion by itself and is a wonder of na— .
ture.
The natives say thatthe great-dragon
tree of Tenerife was Once guarded by
a dragon. A big chief killed the dragon
and watered the tree with his blood.
Ever after that the tree gave forth the
peculiar sap known as dragon’s blood.
It is difficult to accoun t. for the fact that.
the other trees also give forth this sap
unless we surmise that there were alot
of little dragons to furnish their blood
for watering purposes. '

Sweden was ruined by a single battle.
”It was the battle of Pulto-wa, in 1709.
In this battle Peter the Great of Bus-
sia. defeated Charles XII. of Sweden.
Sweden, under the Great Gustavus, had
risen to the position of a first-class Eu-‘
ropean power, while Russia. was just
emerging out of obscurity“ Charles
'XII., by his marvelous victories, seemed
on the Way to make Sweden one of the
greatest of the powers. The crushing
blow that was dealt at Pultowa ruined
