YELLOW BACKS ARE SAID TO BE CAUSE

Unusual Conduct of Grace Johnson Is Attributed to Over-indulgence. TALKS TO CHIEF BAILEY. WILL NOW BE HELD AT THE HOME FOR THE FRIENDLESS UNTIL DR. KENDALL COMES FROM KINGMAN, IND. Constant reading of dime novels ani "penny deadfalls" is responsible for the erring ways of Grace Johnson, the fourteen-year-old girl of Kingman, Ind., whose life has been a rather eventful one in the past few weeks. This is the opinion of Superintendent of Police Bailey. "Now are you right sure that you walked from Kingman, Ind., to New Hope?" asked Bailey of the girl when she started in on her account of her trip from Kingman, which has caused so much excitement. "Sure I did. Then I have walked many miles besides. I have traveled much since I left the home of Dr. Keutlall," replied the girl. "Nice shoes you have. They are almost new, aren't they?" continued Bailey. "Yes, they are almost new. I bought them with my own money!" "Did you walk all that distance in those shoes V" inquired the chief of police. "Yes," said the girl. The shoes showed no signs of wear whatever, and then Bailey's opinion that the girl had been giving him a "pipe," resulting from an overbalanced Imagination, was strengthened, while his suspicions that the girl was Influenced by something in telling her traveling yarns, were aroused, and asked: "Say, did you ever read any dime novels?" "Oh, yes; I've read lots and lots of them," said the Johnson girl. Thought so," grunted the chief. Bailey says the girl must be stirred by an unquenchable desire to do something out of the ordinary, and she has been spurred on by the romanticism and impossibilities expressed in absyrd and cheap literature. That the girl's mind Is abnormally developed along this line is the firm belief of the chief. t t 11... 1 J i e i 1 j

Certainly no artist in recent years has met with such sensational success as this young man. who in four years has jumped from comparative obscurity, to an undisputed position among the greatest of modern virtuosos. In fact, many of the most competent critics of the world have placed him alone on the top rung of the violinist ic ladder. The rise of this young American reads like a romance.

WILL SOON ISK FOB BIDS ON THE SEWER Board of Works Has Plan to Put the Viaduct Agreement Into Effect. DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS. CONTRACTOR CAN BID ON ONE OR THE OTHER OR ON BOTHCOST OF THE WHOLE IS ESTIMATED AT $23,000. In order to place the Northwest Second street viaduct agreement between the city and Pennsylvania railroad company in effect without further delay, the board of works wiil soon advertise for bids for the placing of the sewer system, required under the terms . this sewer system were advertised for, but owing to the size of the job and the state law which provides that contractors cannot receive payment for their work until the completion of the job, no bids were received. To overcome this difficulty, all the lateral sewers in connection with this proposed Northwest Second street sewer system have been eliminated from the plans for the time being and the plan of building the sewer in two sections has been adopted. Cost Estimated at $23,000. It is estimated that the total cost of constructing the two sections of this sewer system will be about !"jy,0OO. Unuer the original plans, which in-, eluded the lateral, or feeding sewers, the estimated cost was placed at $4S,ooo. I When the board of public works advertises in December for bids on these two sections, it will be specified that the first section of this sewer system will run from the outlet at the Sheridan street bridge to West First street. The second section will run from First street to Norwest Second street and thence to the Richmond division tracks.

The Ground Is Alive. We arn so used to thinking of the soil as mere mineral matter that it comes quite as a shock to find this is a mistake. As a matter of fact, the layer of soft mold which clothes the ground in all cultivable districts and irom which vegetation springs is actually in great part a living layer of tiny plants and animals. Interlacing threads of molds and fungi, worms and grubs, creeping Insects, tiny root parasites, decaying leaves and the millions of bacteria which spring from them all these are mixed and mingled together for many Inches down below our feet in a confused mass of life. Germs of all sorts swarm In countless millions. Indeed, all the plants that grow and life that exists on the face of the earth owe their being to the fact that the ground is alive. You take a shovelful of the finest soil in the world and sterilize it-that is. beat it till all the life in it is destroyed and then plant seeds in it. No amount of care or watering will make those seeds grow. Their life depends on the life iu the soil around them. London Answers. Elephant Life In the Jungles. Without elephants jungles would be virtually impassable. The great beasts are a mixture of strength and weakness, of craft and simplicity. The paths through the jungle from village to village are merely tracks from which the interlacing foliage has been cut and thrust aside and the virgin soil trodden into a black mud. After a rain this mud is many feet deep, and no living creature except an elephant, a buffalo or a rhinoceros could labor through it. The elephant makes his way by lifting one foot at a time and inserting it deep Into the slough In front, withdrawing another with a sound like the popping of a huge cork. Nothing but a ride on an earthquake could be compared with the sensation of being run away with by an elephant. As for stopping him. some one has well said that you might as well try to stop a runaway locomotive by pulling with your walking stick on the funnel as seek to check an elephant at such a moment with a goad. The Questions They Ask. The capacity of the average small boy for asking questions is practically unlimited, but it Is doubtful whether more searching inquiries have ever been made by a boy than those propounded by a youngster to his father, who had taken him for a steamer trip. Here is a partial list: "Is that water down there any wetter than the water in the Atlantic ocean?" "What makes the water wet?" "How many men could be drowned In water as deep as that?" "Is that big man with the golA buttons on his coat the father of all those men who do whatever he tells them to?" "Where do all those soapsuds behind the boat come from?" "Could a train go as fast on the water as this boat?" Chums. Mad Dog. Mad dogs do not attack people. "When a doar has the rabies," said a physician, "he has lost control of his bedy, and what he does is mechanical. His jaws snap involuntarily, and if he encounters any object, whether animate or Inanimate, he is likely to bite it. But a mad dog does not attack as does an angry dog. He does not pick out a victim or use any strategy. For this reason dogs suffering from rabies are less dangerous than is supposed. Xo grown person need fear them, for all he has to do is to get out of the way. The dog -will not chase him. Of course, young children are in danger, as they do not know bow to dodge tbe bruu."

The latter part of this week they all went to Chicago for a reunion at the home of their parents, Acey and Sarah Keisey, both of whom are still living. Sawing Out a Segment. This rule is given by the Woodworker for sawing out a segment a piece straight on one edge and curved on the other: Suppose the segment is to be 48 Inches long and 4 Inches wide at the central or widest place. Square one-half the length (24 inches), which gives 57G; square the width (4 Inches), which gives 10; add 57G and 16, obtaining 592; divide 592 by twice the width (2x48), which gives 74 inches, the radius. This rule will apply to any case. When Stevenson Was Poor. Robert Louis Stevenson was In poor circumstances in San Francisco before he made his hit with the world. During the time that he used to loaf, penniless, upon the lawn where afterward they put up a bronze and marble statue to him, he picked up a few quarters acting as super in the old California theater, in Bush street.

oM PROPOSING TO ISSUE OLD FOR NEW STOCK A Local Victim Hears From The Cargill Company. CONSULTATION TO BE HELD A Richmond man who feebly asserts that he was a victim or the Cargill company suspension, for several hundred dollars, said he received his first message from the company, since it went to the wall. The company proposed to take up the old stock and issue in exchange new certificates, share for share in a reorganized company. He said the message claimed that all those who assent to the new proposition will receive the new stock in the course of a few days and it will be worth more than the old stock ever was. The Richmond man who made the statement that he had bought stock for several hundred dollars, says that he is not the only one in Richmond WQo was fleeced bv the company, Consulation parties have been order among the victims.

Arab fatalism, which is at the root of his stoic lmpassiveness, though much talked of, is but little understood In its almost superhuman invincibility. This Is brought into strong relief by the history attaching to one of the treasures of the Louvre museum. It is a human skeleton a skeleton with a history. It is the disembodied framework of a man, an Arab and an assassin. In the flesh he was Suleiman el Aleby, and his hand it was that murdered Kleber, the commander of the French revolutionary array in Egypt. For this crime he was condemned by a French court martial to have his right hand burned off. to be impaled and exposed to birds of prey and to have his body reduced to a skeleton. The burning off of his hand Suleiman bore without a groan or even a wince, but toward the end of the dire ordeol the executioner happened to touch another part of his arm with the redhot iron. "This punishment," he shouted, with anger, "is not In the sentence." Then he underwent the rest of the execution without giving any expression or even a sign of feeling. London Globe. J. II.

HABIT A GROWING ONE Postal Sub-stations Proving Quite Popular. The postal sub-station habit Is growing in Richmond. Both branches of the main postoffice are doing a good business. It is increasing week by week. Rather than send to the main office for stamps and postal supplies, or still further, bothering their mail men with requests for stamps, they are buying them at the postal sub-stations. The money order business at these stations is also increasing. THE RECEIPTS WERE $50.
