A gang Of robbers operated in Nc
Cook, Monday night, quite successfully.
The parties forced the tin which was
acting as proxy for a pane of glass, in
the door of w. c. LaTourette's store,
turned the key, which was sticking in
the lock, and thus effected a noiseless
entrance into the building Indeed so
quietly did they operate that Tom
Adams, who was sleeping in the room
at the time of the robbery failed to
hear them. Mr.. LaToarette's loss is
about SIS, the booty consisted mainly
in cutlery, Smith and Wesson revol-
yer, and few other articles. Some
one, presumably the same party, also
entered the residence Of Mrs. Bates
and purloined therefrom valise and
some articles of wearing apparel. The
parties who committed the robberies,
evidently knew the clay of the land" "
We warned our citizens some time
since, and we reiterate the warning.
We want little Of the eternal vigil
ance" sentiment to get rid Of indiyidu-
ais of the midnight robber species.

ARomantiewar Story.

A romantic story of the war is told
in connection with the 126th Pennsyl-
vania Regiment. A feminine looking
member of the regiment who gave the
name.of Frank Mayne associated with
none of the members of his company
except o man named Fitzpatrick. One
day while near Alexandria, Va, Fitz-
patrick was taken i'll and removed to the
hospital, where he died, it was said IN o
few days, of smallpox. Mayne dis
played considerable grief over the death
Of his companion. He procured pass
to Alexandria soon after on the plea of
some business, but never returned. It
was thought that he had deserted. Soon
after soldier WAS wounded in Western
Tennessee, and upon being taken to the
hospital it was discovered that the SOL
der was female and none other than

smallpox. He explained how he and
Mayne wishing to transfer the scenes Of
their military exploits from the East to

escaped from the hospital and was

In 1928 James Gordon Bennett vas
Washington correspondent for q New
York paper. He originated sty5eof
letter writing that has lasted until NOW.
OF his work Ben; Perley Poore writes:
"They were lively, they abounded in
personal illusions, and they described
freely not only Senators, but the wivsS
and daughters of Senators. This sort
of thing WIS novelty then. The de-
scriptions Of toilettes, the cravats Of
the President and the hunting saddle Of
his niece tickl ed not only the fools but
tion. These same letters established
Mr.. Bennett's reputation as Light laaae
among the host of writer's, and he found
ready sale for the poetry and the love
stories which flowed from his pan dur.
ing his leisure h,surs."

Miss Flora Stewart, q Richie county
Va.) lady, young and handsome, was
engaged to be marreed recently. Her
wedding clothes were prepared, the
day arrived, and the preacher was on
hand. But one thing was lacking to
make the nuptials q success, and that
was the bridegroom. It happened that
the preacher was single man, with m
eye for beauty and q heart for love, and
the damsel was youthful, comely and
susceptible, so the minister offered to fill
the place of the absent groom. The
offer was accepted, and the two hied to
Parkersburg, where the connubial knot
was tied, and Miss Stewart became Mrs.

II is curious statistical fact that 178

Germany is determined to maintain
her military supremacy. Every i'm
provment in artillery, small arms and
explosives is Immediately tested by her
military commissions and, if approved,
is adopted without reference to. cost.
For ten years there has not been
such activity as France is now displayed
in the creation of her navy. At the
present moment four ironclads, two
being turret ships, are in course of fcon-
struction. -
The valuation of taxable property in
Missouri for 1884 is 1920, 900 900, being
an increase of $64 600, 600 over that of
1882. Real estate has increased from
$4443, ,00O, 600 to $492, ,OOO, 600; personal
property from $187 ,O0O, 600, and the
valuation of railroads, bridges and tele-
graph lines from $39, ,OOO, 600 to $41,-

In 1873 We are reminded by the Bos-
ton Transcript, everybody was busy,
mills and factories were running at
their full capacity, quick sales and large
profits was the general rule, wages were
high, money was in active demand, and
bankers and merchants exchanged con-
fidng smiles. Never was there Q
blner sky nor fairer sea. So, when
the Ohio Life and Trust Company shut
up shop, in 1857, or when the author of
the maxim, "A national debt is the ma
tional blessing" showed, in 1873, that
his debts were private curse for his
creditors, everybody was stunned, and
few recovered breath in time to take in
sail before the storm was upon them.

The skill OF the Swiss in carving
wood first attracted notice about fifty
years ago. Il was not, however, until
years afterward that Il was turned to
account in commercial point Of view,
and even then the sales Of Swiss carv-
ings were restricted to tourists ID the
summer season, who made their pur-
chases through the intermediary Of hotel
porters. Hence the trade was for .
long time very small and unremunera-
tive. But in the course Of time local
capitalists took the matter in hand,
opened workshops and begun an export
trade: The business Of wood carving
now finds employment for several hum
dred persons. In fact. in one establish.

Over west-side doorway is the in
viting sign, Artistic Bric-a-brac." In
q small, square room up one fight of
stairs were several tables laden with
many curious and interesting produc-
tions of German and Swiss artists.
"The Swiss peasantry are the greatest
wood carvers in the world, theproprie-
tor said. Carving seems to be as
natural to them as eating. They carve
out of wood, with wonderful ingenuity,
anything from simple paper knife to
IN elaborate piece of architecture in
miniature. Aside from wood carving
and some other mechanical occupations
they are not good for anything, being
very simple, ignorant people. But they
have 9 genius for carving, and have .
natural skill for copying from nature.
Their floral pieces are regarded as mas
terpieces, and serve as models for young
scnlptors. 1t is only necessary to fur
nish them Photographic design of
what is wanted. Most dealers who inn
port Swiss carvings do this, although
the Swiss peasantry produce number
less things themselves without the aid
of any suggestions. They carve out of
wood almost every kind Of fancy article
such as inkst,ands, nut-crackers, jewelry
cases, cuckoo clocks, ladies' work boxes.
and large number of other things too
numerous to mention. The tools they
use are very simple, the carving being
all done by hand. The articles they carve
are ingenioasly ornamenred with leaves
and flowers, and some of their designs are
extremity odd; they are always artistic.
Here is q piece of carving in the shape
Of nnt-cracker. It is q life-like rep
resentation of q bear on its haunches.
OF course, it is made more for an orna-
ment than for use, but its artistic merit
is worthy Of careful study. The Swiss
have knack for turning the most SIM
pie article into real work of art. Take
this book-rack for instance. The IDEAL
er produced q very simple form of book
holder for the library table, having two
side pieces on sliding base. "See how
artistically the side pieces are carved,
showing in bold relief q double rose sur
rounded with a mass Of leaves and
vines. ..s
