Midnight Prowlers Get in Their Work In
Several Places.


Burglars entered the store house of
James W. Duncan, at Broyiesville. this
county, on Tuesday night last, and lifted
$3.50 in cash and pension checks. Also a
small quantity of goods. The thieves
broke open a front window near the cor
ner of the building, leading Immediately
into the store room. After satisfying
their greed for theft, they departed,
drawing a portrait Of the clerk on the
shutter of the window through which
they entered, and made good their escape.
The clerk and another young man were
sleeping in a room in the same building
some fifty feet from the window where the
thieves got in. No idea as to who the
guilty parties are.
On Saturday night last, some person
entered the residence of W. M. Grisham
and helped himself to a good meal and
left no clue to his identity. The rooms
occupied by Mr.. Grisham's family as
sleeping apartments are on the second
floor. On the night mentioned Mrs.
Grisham closed and locked the doors as
usual, but On rising in the morning the
front, side and kitchen doors were found
open or unlocked and eatables which had
been laid away for future reference had
disappeared-bread, meat, milk and in
fact everything designed to appease hun
ger. So far as known nothing else was
disturbed. How the thief entered and
how he avoided awakening the members
of the household is as much a mystery
as is the identity of the guilty party.
About 8 o'clock in the morning Mrs. G.
thought she heard IN unusual noise but
1t did not arouse her enough to create o
suspicion of anything wrong.

During the past year wild beasts and
snakes have been unusually destructive to
human life in the central provinces
of India. There have been an increase OF
262 in the number of persons killed, as
compared with the preceding year. OF
wild beasts, tigers, of course, were the most
destructive, their victims numbering ITO,
against SO in 1884, while the number Of
tigers killed was only 221, against 260
The deaths from snake bite last year
amounted to 1906, against 1871 in 1884
while only 1897 snakes were killed, as
compared with 2379 In an official note
on the subject, it is observed that there has
been satisfactory increase" ia the num-
Der of wild animals destroyed; but this in
crease is due to the larger number of bears
wolves and hyenas killed.

j HEATHER-BLooM.
Wnlen t0r lle Denl0cratic .Ady0cale.

Wriaen for the Democratic Advocate-
When grand 6ctober's sun sinks low,
And purple shadows gather
Along the ridge, to meet the glow
That through the woodland gaps doth show.
And fingers DER the heather
musing dream. 1 close mine eyes,
fold my hands together,
And see again those other skies,
And other days and scenes arise,
Return with scent OF heather.
All me! what memories come again,
AS ON the scene I'm gazing,
With absent look-a leaden pain
Comes o'er my heart, benumbs my brain
While maple leaves seem blazing.
The moorland heather in the breeze
All idly now is waving,
But far beyond, my fancy sees
An old farm house the gnarled trees,
Through which the wind is raying.
By just "a color in the air.
Ofwhich we read in Shelly
81 feel old heart-beats" unaware,
They dissipate rny lone despair
With tender thoughts of Nelly.
Oh, love is sad And yet it's sweet,
1t came to me in autumn;
The hours rushed by on winged feet
Our paths diverged, no more to meet,
All me! where fate has brought them.
Perhaps my life has had its share
ofgain, offset by losses;
And have learned we al must bear
In this our world of toll and care
Sometime in it our crosses.
But still when maple leaves are red,
In grand October weather,
Again the woodland paths tread,
sigh for days forever fed
The days we roamed together,
Once more her voice, tender and low,
Is oer my memory stealing;
Alas! that must wake to know
The past is dead, and also
Must deaden olden feeling.
In this harsh world we all must learn
To twine flowers round our crosses;
No matter how the heart may yearn,
We must endure, each one in turn,
Though rough wind oft our frail bark tosses,
Waiting, the olden paths tread
Soon Death his own will gather;
When autumn tints their glory shed
Then may lay my weary head
Beneath the moorland heather.
