Robbed His Firm of $100,000.

Berlin, Nov. 27.—Frits Kiuge. manager of a company of railroad contractors with headquarters in this city, was arrested here on the charge of defrauding the firm out of .SIOO,OOO. Kluge explained that he bad lost the money in speculation in mines in the United States. For Chappod Lip*. Do not moisten the lips frequently with the saliva or pass the tongue over them to make them red or fresh looking. This habit tends to discolor and dry them and to make them chap. Carefully avoid biting the lips and especially of biting off detached portions lot the skin. It is ruinous to their ibeauty, both of color and texture, and may even cause troublesome and sometimes incurable eruptions. The best means of remedying chapped, dry lips is to anoint them every night on going to bed with a good cold cream.

ITALY IS THE VICTOR

She Captures Both the Principal Events at the Auto Races at Savannah. HER CAB WINS THE GRAND PRIZE Same Nation Abo Had Triumphed in the Light Car Race. Frenchman Drives in the Last Win andNaxarro Is DisappointedOnly One Serious Mishap Mars the Event. . Savannah, Ga., Nov. 27.—The Italian Fiat car, 120-horsepower, won the automobile race for touring cars on the track here, going 402 miles in 6 hours, 10 minutes and 31 seconds. Wagner, a Frenchman, was the driver. The other cars whose time wws taken were the following, including their drivers, name of car being given first, driver second and time last: ' Benz, Hemery, 6:11:27; Fiat; Nazar ro, 6:18:47; Benz, Hanriot, 6:26:12; Clement-Bay rd, Nautvast, 6:34:06; Re nault, Strang, 6:43:37; Clement-Bay ard, Higal, 6:45:49; Itala, Fournier. 6:46:32; Fiat, De Palma, 6:51:34. The

cars of borne manufacture were noin the race. There were six of thenand none carried more than sixty horsepower, while those of foreign manufacture ruled it from 110 to 123 horsepower. Was a Close Race for Three. The three drivers who clung together from the very start were shuffled about like so many cards as the flying laps were reeled away. During the race the Benz No. 19 was sent pitching from the road. Out of the mass of wreckage Fritz Erie, who had been driving, was taken with a broken nose and a broken jaw. Naaarro, the ■wonderful Italian driver, holder of world’s records and winner of countless contests, who had clung tenaciously to a narraw margin of lead for more than a hundred miles, hesitated long enough at th£ supply pits to change a weakening tire and lost. Nazarro Badly Disappointed.

The fact that a car of bls own team ■won the race was little comfort to Nazarro. An Italian himself he want ed to win in an Italian car. Wagner was in trouble once. He stopped and his mechanician was under the machine as soon as the wheels stopped turning. He soon corrected the trouble and springing to Lis seat the machine shot ahead agadn. As It started two bottles of champagne were handed aboard and the men drained them as they flew along. The race set a new record for long distance going, the highest average speed previously being made last month in the Vanderbilt cup race, 64.3 miles an hour. Wagner's time was 65.5 miles. Only One Serious Mishap.

The accident to the Benz car, No. 19, runqing in fourth position at the end of the tenth lap, was the only serious mishap of the day. The stee’. studded tread of the nin-skid tire on the right rear wheel broke Just as he was attaining maximum speed. One of the loose ends of the flying tread struck Erie in the back of the head, and for the fraction of a second his hand on the steering wheel faltered. A moment later the racer had torn from the road, struck a stone and turned turtle. Erie went flying in one direction and his mechanician In an other. The latter picked himself up unhurt, but Erie suffered a broken nose and jaw. Italy’s Second Winning.

This winning is the second for Italy, the car representing that nation winning the other headline event of the meet, the light car race.

THEY PRAYED FOR A TARIFF

Several Missouri Clergymen Oilier a Very Novel Petition on Thanksgiving Day. St Louis, Mo., Nov. 27. — A special to the Republic from Joplin, Mo., says: “Rev. Dean O. Dutton, of Webb City, and Rev. C. M. Davenport, of Joplin, both in the union Thanksgiving services held by the churches In the two towns, petitioned the Almighty to grant a tariff on sine, and to property direct the actions of the representatives of the mining interests of this district who are before the ways and means committee at Washington. “Several of the ministers in the smaliertowns in this distrtetateo made this petition part of their prayers.”

ILL WIND’S GOOD.

By CHARLES GRAVES.

A flood of golden morning sunshine streaming through the windows and falling full upon his face awakened Tom Goodbye. It awakened him with ;g rather unpleasant start and brought to his mind the disquieting suspicion that he had overslept. He came, out of bed with a bound {and looked at hie watch- It was 930 —half past 9, and be had an appointipent to go sailing with Helen Caverly at 9 sharp! Surely the gods of misfortune severally and collectively were following in his train! . He dressed in record breaking time, bounded down the stairs and, breakfostless, made all speed to the long pier In front of the hotel, his mind busy with the many apologies be would undoubtedly need in a few moments.

But the apologies were doomed, for the present at least, to remain unspoken, for when he reached the pier he saw, running out of the harbor before the smart breeze, a knockabout with a well known pennant fluttering from the mast.

Evidently Misa Caverly had grown weary of waiting for him. Goodhue took a long, lugubrious look at the dis tant sail and groaned. Yet he was not the man to submit tamely to adverse circumstances. At the end of the pier lay hope in the shape of his own power boat, pulling Ist her painter as she swung to the tide. In a moment he had scrambled aboard, pulled the cover from the engine and turned over the flywheel. There was a series of sharp reports. He threw off the moorings, sprang to ;the little wheel in the bow, and the power boat went tearing away from the pier, sending up twin waves of white spume at her bow as she sped In pursuit of the distant knockabout.

I The engine of a power boat, however, is not one of the things to be classed among such certainties as death and taxes. Scarcely bad be

passed the can buoy on the outer |legde when there was an ominous {coughing of the exhaust. Immediately it grew spasmodic and 'seemed to take a half hearted, despairing note. Then it ceased altogether, and with this cessation the little craft (lay helpless on the long swells coming 'to from the bay. i Countless precedent cases had taught •Goodhue what to do. He pulled off his coat, caught pp a wrench and attacked the engine, not. without a certain grim wrath. At the end of half an hour, despite 'an his art and all his mad efforts with .the wrench, the engine, beyond a few derisive, choking puffs, refused to respond. I Goodhue hurled the wrench angrily Into the locker, shook a vindictive fist jat the balky machinery and delivered himself of his opinions concisely and > Then he looked despairingly at the toafl momentarily growing smaller to the eastward and ruefully surveyed Ithe blue streak of shore behind him, not without certain poignant longings for breakfast.

All his labors had merely succeeded fin getting him stalled here in the midpie of the bay. He granted his disgust, tied bls handkerchief to a boat (book as an improvised signal Of distress and set it np in the stern. Then be stretched himself upon the cushions and calmly went to sleep. I He was awakened by rippling laughter. He jumped up to find close alongkride a knockabout with Its sail rattling (sharply as it headed into the wind. By Ithe tiller was Helen Caverly, her eyes sparkling as she took In his plight. Goodhue struck a melodramatic attitude, one hand on his forehead, the other at his throat. , "Help!” he cried, nodding toward bis dlstrees signal. I The girl laughed again. I "What on earth are you doing out hare so early in the morning?" she said jtaockingly. “Are you aware that it fs but a trifle past 10:30?" ' "I am pursuing you,” said he, “or, bather, I was pursuing you until this unmentionable engine went back on me.” ' . •And why were you pursuing me?” i *T wanted that san you promised fam this morning.” "I waited for you until long after ®.” Goodhue grinned sheepishly. “I—l ** o—d* a sarara-

when I got down to the pier and fonad you gone I started out in the power boat—without any breakfast.” ‘•What noble self sacrifice!” sbs mocked. < "And I’d have caught you, too, but for that engine. I? always breaks down when you want it most. However, you’ve seen my plight and come alongside, and that’s the main thing, after all. We can have that sail now, can’t we?” ' “Do you think she deserves it?” "Frankly, I don’t, but Tm going to trust to your generosity.” She looked at him doubtfully for a moment “Of course,” she said at length, “I can’t desert you like this, helpless as you are upon the high seas. Come aboard. I’ll tow you back. You must be very hungry by this time.” Goodhue caught up the boat hook, pulled the power boat alongside the knockabout and scrambled over her rail. In a moment the painter was fast, and, towing the helpless craft be-

hind her, the knockabout was headed shoreward. The girl held the tiller. Goodhue sat down beside her. "I was particularly anxious to coma out sailing with you this morning,” said he. “So it would seem,” she observed dryly. “There was a very particular reason why I shouldn’t miss It,” he went on placidly, Ignoring her tone. "I wanted to finish out what I was saying to you night before last on the Gregorys* piazza when that Idiot of a Benson came out and Interrupted us.” A wave of color surged Into the girl’s cheek. Her nose went up In the air a fraction of an Inch.

“Under the circumstances,” said she, "considering the fact that I have just rescued you from a rather trying situation, It seems to me no gentleman would take advantage” Goodhue moved closer to her. "No gentleman would have missed his appointment with you this morning.” said he. “Therefore I am no gentleman. Following out the same course of logic, the fact that I am no gentleman absolves me from playing the gentleman’s part of silence just now. I will take the tiller, Helen.” He took It. The girl began hastily trimming the sheet "I am going to finish out that proposal,” he declared. "If you won’t listen to me I shall refuse to be saved. I shall return to the power boat and trust myself to the mercies of these treacherous waters,” he ended, looking tragically at the quiet sea about them. "Besides which,” be went on, "kindly remember that I have had no breakfast. Will you listen?” The girl turned to him with flushed face, but her eyes were shining. "You certainly must have that breakfast,” she chuckled. "Go ahead. lam all attention.”

London Fog.

'A London fog brings out hundreds of thieves, but it also brings out men who are wanted by the police. A detective told a representative of the press about two curious Instances of thieves being caught in this way: We had been on the lookout for weeks for a swindler who had stolen bonds in bis possession. The inspector who had the warrant at last declared that the man must have got out of the country. But one densely foggy night the inspector happened to be In a quiet street not far from Bedford square, when a stranger, against whom he nearly ran, said: “Can you tell me precisely where I am? I’ve got mixed up somehow.” "Follow me and I’ll show you,” said the officer. And he did show hixh—to the police station, for the man was the very one he had been looking for. In another case a sergeant, in one of the thickest fogs ever known, politely helped a lady in distress near the Kensington rodd. The lady couldn’t even * recognize her own house among several all alike, and the sergeant, on her behalf, knocked at a door and was answered by a man. The lady did not live there, but an hour or two afterward I arrested the man who had come to the door. He was a German baker, the head of a large flrm, and we had been seeking him for months.

The Man In the House.

The hour was midnight in the home of the Ramscatters. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Ramscatter and their young son, George, almost at the age of maturity. All had retired when suddenly a loud yell penetrated the air. "There’s a man in the house!” The alars awakened mother and father. They jumped up, screaming: "Where? Where?” “Here’’’ It was George’s voice. Ramscatter proceeded cautiously across the hall to ids son’s room with a revolver in one hand. He was followed by Ids wife. "George, are you Injured?" shouted the father. "There’s a man in the house!” came the reply. Ramscatter prepared to Are as he threw open the door. “1 don’t see any man!” he exclaimed an he flashed on the electric lights. "He’s right here,” answered the son. “What do you mean, George?” “I mean that it’s now five minutes after 12 o’clock. Today is my birthday, and Pm twenty-one years old.”— Bohemian Magazine.
