PAINTING FOR PANTS.
A Sneak Thief Given n Lively Chase,
and Finally Captured.

About nix o'clock Saturday evening a
colored fellow, named Henry Evans
sneaked a pair of pants from Beno q
Co.'s store, and was sliding out of the
Main street door when noticed by the
clerks and followed. Officer Kirk Joined
the clerical force in chasing the coon
down Main street. The black legs were
too nimble for the clerks but the officer
kept pretty well up in the race, holding
second place, while the dark horse kept
the lead, clear to tho Wabash depot
where he was oYertaken. He showed
fight but the officer tapped him gently on
his shins, with his billy, and induced
him to surrender, and take lodgings at
the city's expense.

ROBBED OF HIS ROLL.
a Travelling Man Finds Himself
Minus His Money aud
His Watch.

Clayton Turney, a travelling salesman
for Paddock Howley d Co., Of st.
Louis, registered at Beohtele's hotel
Saturday evening and was assigned to
room No. 81. He spent the evening
chatting with friends until after mid
night and then went to his room. He
claims that sometime about 3 o'clock he
awoke and discovered his pantaloons
laying on the doorsill. On examination
he found his gold watch, chain and about
$40 in money gone. He was not posi-.
tive whether he locked his door on en-.
tering or not, but thought that he did.
The clerk said that no one came in OF
went out during the night, and so Tur.
ney at an early hour yesterday morning
got a search warrant and prepared to GO
through all tho rooms. Mr.. Bechtele
naturally objected to having his guests
treated in such a manner,
and Turney seemed quite put out
because this privilege of general search
was not given him. The hotel is well
provided with all the precautions by
which guests can protect themselves
against sneak-thieves if they choose to
avail themselves of them. Besides the
safe is in the office, each room door is pro-
vided with all needed locks, as are also
the transoms, and if Turney locked his
door it seems strange that entrance could
have been gained so easily as he claims.

For spring in time to spring succeeds again
Yet do they run their ceaseless round IL

When have reached the enda
There is no end of joys, no end of sorrows-
Alternate links of life's unending chain;
No end of dark to-days and bright to-morrows,
For oft-slain hope as oft will rise again:
Yet let who will rejoice; who will, complain
What matters the days that mar, the morrows

ence know what an undertaking it is
to reign over the domestic realm and
administer Justice in such manner as
to keep all subjects happy, and at the
same time secure the greatest good for
the greatest number.
And were this all that was required
of her the mother would have her hands
quite full, with very small family, but
this is far from being all that she has
to do. So much has been said of the
diversity and range of woman's work,
that it is needless to dilate upon the sub
ject here. Women know already how
great it is and men could not appreci-

strictly domestic woman can appreci-
ate the trials and perpleXities of busi-
ness with which her husband contends
daily.
The law of compensations is inexor-
able and adjusts matters pretty evenly
in this, whether we can get out of self
far enough to see any but our own side
of it or not. So that while we grow
gray worrying over the moral welfare
of the children, the fathers brow is
wrinkled and his shoulders bent with
toiling to provide for their physical
welfare.
Approaching the efforts of parents
who have their children's welfare at
heart to bring them up properly, we
have yet one accusation to make, to
which we feel confident the majority
will plead guilty. You are not always
just to the children; you love them,

A Cool Headed Engineer.

| A correspondent of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers Journal,
writing of trip over the Rio Grande
road, says:
Leaving Salida we have to use two
large mogul engines to take us over
Marshall Pass, grade twenty-six miles
long and PIT feet to the mile, winding
around twenty-six degree curves. On
one side you look down 5000 feet, while
by looking up on the other side of the
train you can see rocks hanging over
you more than mile high, one of the
grandest sights that man ever saw
and worth the time and expense of any
man. Fourty-four miles is counted
days work on this division for engi-
neers, and their monthly earnings
amount to from $3.50 to 1925, and the
risks they run and ability that are re-
quired is worth all the money they get.
1t is here that our old friend "Curley"
Whitney had his runaway. Curley
was coming down this grade
when his brakes got out of order and
his train got the start of him. He was
running as second section, and seeing
no hopes of avoiding collision by
his fireman, after doing what they could
to check the speed of their train
jumped off and let it go. Ahead of
them on the first section was one of
those ever wide-awake, careful men
who always look at both end of his |
train, and he was looking back when |
Curley and his fireman jumped of.
his danger at once he eased
up on his brakes and got the speed of
the runaway train. He then caught
them and held both trains until he
brought them TO a full stop without
broken drawbar even in either train.

If mind he was called before President
Palmer, his heroism complimented, his

"a ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS. ,
Time out of mind, rolling stone has
been censured for gathering no moss
But what of thatp Is it not to its cred
it rather than to its dispraisep If il
had lain idle all its life, it no doubt
might have accumulated no end OF
moss. But its busy existence prevent
ed its acquiring any such useless en-
vironment. True, the rolling stone
gathers no moss, but it gathered some
thing better, to-wit, polish. Isn't pol

"OUT OF THE FRYING-PAN INTO THE
FIRE"
1t is conventional to condemn the
man who jumps out of the frying-pan
into the fire. But, gentle reader, were
you in the midst of the fervent fat of
a frying-pan, would you not rather
Jump into the fire itself and have your
anguish ended speedily and at once
than to suffer the slow agony of being
fried like vulgar doughnut? Of
course you would. Then never again
speak word against the Judgment of
this unknown martyr to expediency.
''FACTs ARE STUBBORN THINGS"
This may be true on general grounds,
but we fancy that facts bearing on
political campaign are as plant and
yielding as boarding house butter. We
trust, therefore, that this severe charac-
terization of facts in the abstract will
give place to more generous apprecia-
ton. 1t is no nearer the truth to say
that all facts are stubborn things than
to affirm that all stubborn things are
facts.
FAINT HEART NE'ER WON FAIR LADY"
This libel on the faint heart. The
modest, diffident, bashful man-that is
to say, the faint hearts always first |
to be won by the fair sex, which is the
true way of saying that he is the first to
win the fair sex; for be it known, that
t is the woman and not the man. who
wins in the game of hearts. The man

with naught that borders on suffering.
In short, the notion of pain is forbidden
the instant that any stimulant fails to
excite response.
Fortunately, for wholesome study
of ones demise, there are assurances
abundant, from vivisection, the testi-
mony of those who have been restored
to consciousness, and the affirmations
of the dying, that there is no physical

PROFOUND his politico-economic theories.
''Zounds, sir, but you lie" would
doubtless be his sole reply to the in
genious statistitian, who makes out that
all miseries are attributable to the fact
that four-elevenths of our bodily labor
are misdirected. "You cannot spend
money in luxury without doing good to
the poor. Nay, you do more good by
spending it in luxury. You make exert
industry, whereas by giving it you keep
them idle" This is the doctors view.
Luxury has been powerful civilizer.
Mr.. Ruskin may call it a fungus growth
on an imperfect plan. AS we descend

wants and few powers. This biological
