HER CONVENIENT CONSCIENCE, How the Wise Shoplifter Managed to Forestall Detection. The professional shoplifter is very prevalent in Chicago, and all the big shops maintain detectives to watch for her, But she is a very cunning crea- ture, and it is believed that not one in a dozen of her is ever caught. Yesterday a woman tried on an ex- pensive skirt in one of the big depart- MININSTERS ARE HEEDLESS. Ignore Many Prerogatives of the Swed- ish Riksdag: Protest has been made in the Swed- ment stores. As she was looking at it | {sh riksdag against several unwarrant- in the mirror the saleswoman was called to another part of the” room. whereupon the visitor calmly left the shop, abandoning her old skirt, which was worn so as to be worthless. When the saleswoman returned she examined the skirt and found in the pocket amemorandum containing the the woman’s name and address. Now, mark the shrewdness of the shoplifter. She missed the book, and knew that she would be arrested as soon as she reached home, and then— the penitentiary. So inside of an hour she was back again in the skirt department, and said she had been tempted to steal the skirt, but had been assailed by her conscience and had come to return the stolen property. But she did not take the trouble to weep. And that was the end of the affair.— Chicago Journal. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis- eased portion of the ear.

Some boys were playing ball yester- day afternoon in Cortlandt street near Broadway, regardless of the fact that hundreds of people were hurrying along that street on their way to the ferry. Some of the passersby who had to dodge the ball wanted to know what the police were paid for, anyway; but one philosophical person remarked that a crowded city street wes the best place in the world to train crack baseball players. “Any boy,” said -the philosopher, “who can catch a ball or throw one well here can do it anywhere. But one advantage of the street over a vacant lot as a training ground is that. it makes a boy alert. Now, just watch that kid who is about to throw the ball. He’s on the watch every second for the cop on this beat. A boy whe learns how to play ball and keep from being arrested at the same time will never let a base-runner steal second on him in a real game on the diamond.— New York Sun. An Attentive Husband. “Is your seat comfortable, dear?” he asked when they had got settled in the theater. “Yes; it is very nice,” said the wife, smiling pleasantly. “Feel any draught, dear?” “Not a particle.” “No big hats in front of you, dear?” “Not one.” No posts in the way?” “No; I am very comfortable.” “Then change seats with me, dear.” —yYonkers Statesman. Mr. Albee’s Opinion. Alpine, Cal., June 6.—Mr. T. M. Al- bee, our postmaster, has expressed an opinion based on his own experience which will no doubt be of interest to many. Mr. Albee is a man of few words, but his well-known truthfulness and uprightness of character adds much weight to any statement he makes. He says: “The first box of Dodds Kidney Pills that I used convinced me of their good qualities and I used altogether four boxes with the very best results. I can heartily recommend this rem- edy.” This voluntary expression of opin- fon will doubtless nd an echo in many homes in California, for Dodd’s Kidney Pills have been making some miraculous cures in this state. From the evidence already pub- lished it seems safe to conclude that this medicine will be found to be a perfect cure for rheumatism, urinary trquble, backache and any and every form or symptom of kidney complaint. She Was. A little girl had sent back her plate for turkey two or three times and had peen helped bountifully to all the good things. Finally she was observed look- ing rather disconsolately at the unfin- ished part of her dinner. “What's the matter, Ethel?” asked Uncle John. “You look so mournful.” “That’s just the atter,” said Ethel. “I am mor’n full.” And then she wondered why every: body laughed—Detroit Free Press. Doesn’t Like to Guess. | Pretty Daughter—I’d rather marry 'the worst man on earth than the best Horrified Mother—Good gracious! )Are you crazy? | Pretty Daughter—No necessarily. /You see, I’d know then right from the start what I was up against, and wouldn’t be kept guessing —Columbus Dispatch.

Well, you must be When a person is down in the world an ounce of help is better than ¢ pound of preaching. ed acts of members of the ministry, and a serious break between these two branches of the government is possi- ble. The largest number of complaints are made against Marine Minister Pa- lander, but War Minister Virgin, and his predecessor, Minister Crusebjorn, Foreign Minister Lagerheim and Fi- nance Minister Meyer are involved. Minister Lagerheim is called to task for ignoring the request of the riksdag to take up: the consideration of the important Norwegian consular ques: tion. The other ministers have in sev- eral respects undertaken enterprises requiring state appropriations without submitting the matter to the riksdag. Admiral Palander built an electric plant at Karlskrona, and exceeded his appropriation in several instances. Moreover, he promoted to commander a Count Hamilton, who was disciplined for gross carelessness in connection with the accident to the warship Oden in 1901. Both he and Hr. Creusbjorn have appointed as chiefs of staff offi- cers who were not members of the general staff. 3 FORTUNES IN EGGS. Denmark’s Hens Have Broght Compe- tence to Farmers. The history of poultry raising and egg production in Denmark, as told in the consular reports for May, is full of suggestion for our small farmers. Up to within a few years the keeping of hens was regarded by Danish farm- ers as a necessary evil, and the few they kept received little or no atten- tion.. By means largely of co-operative societies for instruction in breeding and packing, and providing a market, the export of eggs, which began in 1867 with a few score thousands, was in 1902 36,000,000 dozen, worth $6,451,- 000. The Co-operative Egg Export as- sociation has a membership of 33,500 farmers, divided into 500 local socie- ties, the member’s admission fee be- ing 1314 cents. s SCARING THE BEAR. Russia Talks of Jap Submarines at Slite. The Russian newspaper Novoje Vremja discusses. at some length ‘the report that torpedo and submarine boats are being built at Slite, on the island of Gothland, for a Japanese at- tack on Libau. The Russo-Japanese war, it is explained, in no wise threat- ens or concerns Sweden, and it is hardly possible that Japan is in po- sition to conduct naval operations on tle Baltic. ible, and the act itself would be almost suicidal. At the same time, the paper-cannot understand why Slite harbor has been mined and its defenses are being great- ly strengthened while nothing is being done at the other harbors on Gothland. NO BOUNDARY SETTLEMENT. Norwegian Storthing Dislikes Method of Swedish Riksdag. The Norwegian storthing has aban- doned the proceedings for the appoint- ment of an arbitration commission to settle the boundary dispute between Sweden and Norway. Identical mo- tions were presented to the _parlia- ments of the two countries, but the Swedish riksdag undertook to amend the paragraph relating to the appoint- ment of the arbiter, and as this amend- ment is unsatisfactory to the Norwe- gians the pending motions in the Nor- wegian storthing have been with- drawn. REFORM DEFEATED. Swedish Upper House Has No Sympa- thy for Unfortunates. It was hoped that the proposed re- form to the Swedish Penal code pro- viding for legal counsel for persons un- der arrest would become a law during the present sitting of the riksdag. It was recommended by all the commit- tees to which it was referred and was passed by the second chamber without debate, but the first chamber defeated the proposition by a vote of 77 to 28. Fast on the Water. The torpedo baat Capella, recently accepted for the Swedish navy, is the speediest boat in the whole fleet. On its trial cruise ‘from Oresund it aver- aged 23.85 knots for three hours with- out forced draft, and in one hour reg- istered a speed of 24.2 5knots an hour, beating any previous records among Swedish torpedo boats. The Nansen Fund. The Nansen fund for the promotion of scientific investigations which was strated shortly after his return from the successful Arctic in 1896 has now reached a round million kroner. It was raised principally by voluntary contributions. Norway’s Island. It is not generally known that Nor- way owns an island in the Pacific ocean, but this appears to be the case. In 1868 the master of the Norwegian bark “Anna,” Capt. O. A. Schjetnan, discovered a small island about 1,500 miles west of Hawaii. It was only about one and one-half miles long and one-half mile in width and was un- inhabited. It has been seen once or twice since. Secretary Scott Keltie of the Royal Geographical Society of Lon- don holds that it must be considered a Norwegian possession on account of its discovery by a Norwegian. Such a thought is inered- | Done at Aalesund. Reports for the relief work at Aale- sund indicate that the sufferers were well cared for. after the system was fairly inaugurated. To the men there were, among other articles, distributed 2,369 hats, 2,100 coats, 4,191 jackets, 4,812 suits of underclothing,, 3,034 pairs of shoes; to women, 3,945 cloaks, 4,995 dresses, 5,582 suits of underwear, 3,030 pairs of shoes; to the children, 4,560 suits of underclothes, 2,868 pairs of shoes; besides 6,502 blankets, 1,419 mattresses, etc. } Out of the State Church. The dissenters from the established church in Norway number 52,714, 01 2.37 per cent of the population. They are divided as follows: Free Luther: ans, 12,619; Methodists, 10,286; Bap- tists, 5,674; Roman Catholics, 1,969; Greek Catholics, 96; Jews, 642; Mor- mons, 501; no denominational connec- tion, 13,279; four church organizations, including Irvingites, Swedenborgians, ete., seem to have disappeared during the past ten years, No Pensions for Bishops. An effort to provide pensions for re- tired bishops was recently defeated in the Swedish riksdag by a vote of 140 to 75. Several of the speakers de+ clared that tHe bishops on a salary of 12,000 kroner a year should be able to make provision for their old age with- out needing pensions from the state. The underpaid clergy were much more in need of old age pensions than the bishops. A Queer Centenary. Tavlov school at Kolding, Denmark, has a record which probably cannot be duplicated by any other school in the world. In the past 100 years it has had but two teachers, Peter Hansen, who taught from May 4, 1804, to Nov. 1, 1858, and A. M. Petersen, who suc- ceeded him and is still in charge of the school. Tavlov school was found- ed by Frederick IV. and still bears the ancient inscription over the door. Wood and Eggs. The aggregate value of the wood exports from Sweden during the year 1903, including furniture, matches and wood pulp, was 185,000,000 kréner, or more than half the total exports. Poul- try farms appear to be taking an im- portant place. During the year there were exported to England alone 5,561,- 280 eggs, about twice as many as for the year before and three times the total for 1901. A Model Prince. Prince Gustaf Adolf, who has spent a year at Christiania university, has become a great favorite in the Norwe- gian capital. He was a fine student, being a model in his classes and in the observance of all regulations. More- over, he is.a splendid athlete, being an expert horseman, skater, ski runner and hunter. He is a champion tennis player and excels in a}l outdoor sports. Silver of the Ancient Time. An interesting lot of ancient silver has recently been unearthed at Gran- ley, near Aalborg. It has been sent to the national museum at Copenha- gen. There were 350 pieces in all; most of them were fragments, how- ever, so that the intrinsic value is very small. Among the articles are bracelets, arm bands, rings and small stamped pieces used as money. Stipends for Authors. Thomas P. Krag, Jens Tvedt and Andreas Haukland have been selected as worthy of government stipends as authors. Prof. Morgenstjerne presents a minority report naming Jeppe Niel- sen in place of Haukland. It is quite certain that the general public will ap- prove of the minority report, as the kind of literature dished up by Hauk- land does not find much favor. Denmark Is Generous. Nearly 50,000 kroner has been ap- propriated by the Danish government as stipends to enable professional peo- ple to prosecute their studies, usually in foreign countries. There are about 125 beneficiaries, including clergymen, teachers, authors, poets, actors, musi- cians, composers, physicians, artists, scientists, ete. Haiti Wants a Warship. Negotiations for the sale of the Nor- wegian corvette Ellida to the Republic of Haiti are now pending. The vessel, which is used as a training ship, is very old and of no value in warfare. The negotiations were set afoot’ by A. Greger, chief engineer of the Haitian navy, who is a Norwegian. Late Arrivals, if Any. “But how about the neighbor’s chil- dren?” inquired thegmatron who was about to rent a flat in an eligible neigh’ borhood. “Are they likely to give us much trouble?” “If there are any children in any o: the houses on either side of you ma’am,” said the agent, with an apolo getic cough, “they have come since the leases were signed last May.”—Chi- Ferdy’s Real Reason.

They are paid-less because their work is inferior to men’s. Women as a class are not competent workers—not even in those things in which they have always been oceupied, such as cooking and. sew- ing. “But the clamor of women advocates is always for equal wages between the sexes. This is a cry which is not based on reason. Men can do more and bet- ‘] ter work than women. That is the rea- son they are paid more. “When I was associated with Mar- shall Field I always employed men when it was _ possible.”—Louisville Herald.

Miss Muriel Armitage, 36 Greenwood Ave., Detroit, Mich., District Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, writes as follows: “I suffered for five years with uterine irregularities, which brought on hys- teria and made me a physical wreck. I tried doctors from the different schools of medicine, but without any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Peruna, and promised good results if I would persist and take it regularly. I kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when I had used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely cured. I ama grateful, happy woman to-day.” —Miss Muriel Armitage. Miss Lucy M.

Iam now in perfect health, enjoy life and have neither an ache or pain, thanks to Peruna.”—Lucy M. Riley. It is nolongera question as to whether Peruna can be relied on to cure all such eases. During the many years in which Peruna has been put to test in all forms and stages of acute and chronic catarrh no one year has put this remedy to greater test than the past year.
