RICH WOMAN IS NATURALLY BAD
*
Love* the Excitement of Criminality.
Get* a Job as Maid In Order to Rob
Somebody ? Remarkable Confession
of Mrs. Charios J. Rarradke.
Mn?. Charles J. Karuadke. twenty
threw years oi l. wife of the millionaire
trunk manufacturer of Milwaukee, ac
cused of . ?muiittiug uiauy seusatlonal
robberies, has made a confession, one
of the strangest lri criminal history.
"I stol." because I am bad," she
*ays, "naturally bad. I did not need
to steal to support myself. 1 enjoyed
the work, and that Is my only excuse.
Yes. I'm a thief. I don't know Jnst
why, as I had everything I wanted.
Even after I left home I had $50 a
week that my husband seut to me.
Still I stole.
"I first conceived the Idea after see
lug how easy It was wheu 1 was at
ray home In Milwaukee. I was wash
ing my hands, and I left my rings on
the washstaud. Wheu I went out of
the bouse I remembered about them
and wondered if the servant would
steal them. 'Steal! Steal! Steal!'
The word kept ou running through
my head. Here was a new kind of
excitement.
"When I returned the rings were
where I left them. It struck me that
the servant, who had been iu the wash
room to straighten it. was foolish to lie |
so honest. Several days later I saw an >
advertisement In a Milwaukee paper.
It held out a position as a maid. I
went to the house, that of a Mrs. Cady,
at 1S6 Eighteenth street, and secured
the posit ion. I was there only a few
hours when I saw a good chance to
steal a sealskin cloak. I took it aud
left the house.
"I had once been to Chicago aud
while living at the house of Mrs. Sff- '
phie Smith Albert Jones had carried
several messages for me to my doctor, j
I sent the coat to him at Wabash i
avenue. He sold It to a woman living
in State street for $1$.
"Then I went to Chicago. That was
tn April. I saw an advertisement ia
the papers asking for a trained nurse.
I went to the place, 4514 Forestvllle I
avenue, the residence of David Pfael
zer, aud secured the position. I stayed
there about two days, stealiug a dia
mond ring, a bracelet which had thlr-v
teeu or fuurtcm diamonds aud a silver
card case. which I pawned for $4.
"With each thlug I took 1 felt more
ami more at ease, but the thrill of rob
bing uever wore away. .Next I went to
Col4 Tale aveuue. I had advertised as
a uiaid. There I sl-ie a diamond ring,
which I later pawned for $30.
"My next place was at Beck's, 5540
South Park avenue. In Mrs. Beck's
boudoir I saw an alligator bag and

Jewel case. This I also took, lu the
jewel case were three diamond rings,
a diamond bracelet aud a watch. 1

seel uk me.
"A few days later 1 v s out on
I^iwmlale aveuue. near Posiglas park.
There 1 eutered a house. I found the
front door open. 1 got a watch and
S?'jr>. Some one entered the room, and
I had t<> get under the bed to couceal
myself. The woman who i-::uie In Bat j
ou the bed aud read a letter. She
dropped the envelope, aud 1 thought
she would see me when she picked It
up. hut she did not.
""My last place was near Sheridan
road, where I got $13 and a Jewel
case."
Mrs. Komadko tbeu told of having
Bout notes to prominent business men
making engagements to go to supper,
and from this she drifted to talking of
her little daughter In Milwaukee.
"May the world be merciful to her,"
the said, "and may Ckxl keep her from
being damned with her mother's de
sires."

Corset Stay as Coat of Mail.
Mrs. Nellie Mayer of Akron, 0., was
saved from death by one of the Bteel

band, from whom she pnrted several
months ago, attacked her on one of the
downtown streets and, drawing a huge
butcher knife from his coat, attempted
to plunge it Into her heart The point
of the knife struck the stay, however,
and the blade snapped at the handle.
Policeman Duffy overpowered and ar

"So your daughter Is going to marry

"No," answered Mr. Cumrox, "it's

INVISIBLE SNAKES.
A Den of Reptiles That Eluded the
Ordinary Passer's Eye.
The fftct that" snaltes are rnroly seen
even when they nre abundant was Im
pressed upon the inlud of the writer
one day while waiting for a train at a
small stat'lon In New Jersey. A nearby
culvert, where 11 small stream flowed
under the Junction of the railway and
a well traveled public road, seemed a
favorable place for them. The stone
wall, laid up without mortar, . which
supported the npproaeh to the bridge
had a southern exposure. The chinks
afforded ample hiding place, and the
reedy borders of the stream promised
good hunting for the species which live
upou small fish, frogs, toads and earth
worms.
The flagman, who for several years
had passed ten hours a day at his lei
surely occupation there, denied that
there were snakes In the vicinity. "No
more than there bo In Ireland, an' it's
not me as would be tendlif this cross
In' If there was." he asserted. But a
few minutes' search lu the gutters and
grass revealed lour specimens which
had been under his very eyes? a gar
ter, a worm, a De Kay and a newly
hatched milk snake. A new flagman
was installed there the following day,
but crowds of people, mauy of whom
would become hysterical at the sight
of a snake, continue to pass within
three feet of the wall blissfully uncon
scious that they are walking over a
den of serpents.? I'raucls Metcalfe in

Old Commodore Vanderbllt was al

daughter, who recognized her, could
scarcely contalu their auger when he
arose and politely addressed her.
"Don't you know." asked the daugh
ter after she had gone, "that horrid
woman used to sell poultry 10 us?"
"Yes," responded the old millionaire,
"and 1 remember when your mother
sold root beet* it+ttl I peddled oysters Id

From Skin Disease from Birth Until
Six Years Old ? Father Spent

Months, Leaving
SKIN SOFT AS A BABY'S
AND WITHOUT A SCAR
" I have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once bad a skin disease from her
birth until she was aiz years of ago.
Her father had spent a fortune on her
to get her cured and none of the treat
ments did her any good. Old Dr. G ? -
suggested that he try the Cuticura Rem
edies which he did. When he com
menced to use itthe child was almost ina
?olid scab. He had used it about two
months and the child was well. I was
thero when they commenced to use your
Cuticura Remedies. I stayed that week
and then returned home and stayed two
weeks and then went back and staved
with them two weeks longer and when
,1 went homo I could hardly believe sho
was the same child. Her skin was as
'toft as a baby's without a scar on it. I
have not seen berin seventeen years but
I have heard from her and the last timo
I heard from her she was well. That is
where I became acquainted with Cuti
cura. I hope this may bo of some ser
vice to you in the future. Mrs. W. P.
