Daring Young Telegraph Operator
 Polls a Brace of Robbers.
 EAST WEYMOUTH, Mass, Jan. 17.-Yester day Baggage Master John P. Kennedy drew large sum of money from the bank and temporarily deposited it in the safe of Her. bert F. Bates, station agent of the Old Colony road and also local manager of the Western Union Telegraph company. Only one man was in the station at the time and he was buried in newspaper. Last night Bates was absent, leaving Benjamin B. Hatch, a young operator of twent. three years, in charge. At 10:30 p. m. a young man called at several places in an effort to find Hatch the alleged purpose of getting message sent. Hatch was finally notified and went to the depot where he found two men waiting for him. He unlocked the door, went in followed by the two men, lighted lamp in his office and then turned to his visitors, only to face a cooked revolver and to hear the remark: Glands up. It's no use. Pass over that moneyl" For an instant Hatch was non- plussed, then quick as the lightning which he utilizes he whipped out revolver, thrust it into the robbers face and shouted: "Tm on to your little game!" The robber dropped his revolver and hurriedly backed out of the office. His companion had remained in the waiting room near the stove. Covering the pair with his revolver Hatch proceeded to the depot door, cut off their exit and demanded to know what they wanted. The spokesman replied that he wanted to telegraph. "All right" said Hatch, turning to the office again, ''sit down on that chair and write your message" 'I do not want to telegraph, replied the rascal and seizing the opportunity Hatch moved away from the door he threw it open and dashed out, followed by his companion. as they hurried up the track into the ledge. Carefully closing and fastening the doors the operator returned to his lodgings and watch ed from his windows till he saw two men emerge from the ledge and disappear up the street.

The Sicken1ns Fumes Of SmouIderfng
 Seeds Cause Much illness.


 DETROIT, Jan. 17.-A terrible nuisance has grown out of the great New Years fire, in which D. M. Ferry 6 Co., seed house was burned. A day or two ago the fire, which has burned constantly for fifteen days reach ed some seeds underneath big pile of bricks and these burning filled the air around the ruins for mile or more with an almost un- endurable steneh. Last night the fire burned more brightly, and the smoke and foul fumes drove families out of the neighborhood. Doctors living and having patients within the ma1odorous radius were inter- viewed to-day, and their reports are most alarming. Two physicians report two entire families very sick from the effects of the smell Another reports 8 severe cpl demio of diarrbea caused by the smoke Other physicians have many patients who are i'll from vomiting, caused by the stench, and not few serious cases of ordinary sick ness have been rendered dangerous thereby The fire department has not thrown water on the fire since the danger from the fire itself was overcome on New Years day. The health authorities have officially declared it a nuisance but. one department of the city government has only doubtful right to en- force its order against another department, the people in the meantime in the infected district suffer terribly

MARRIED LADIES.
The Proprlety Of Combining Their Names
with Their Husbands SurnAmes.

The Proprlety Of Combining Their Names
with Their Husbands surnames.
1t is becoming the fashion among
married ladies in London to keep their
maiden name in addition to their hus-
bands surname. This practice has
long been in vogue among actresses
and other ladies who have made repr-
tation for themselves before marriage,
the benefit Of which they are unwilling
to lose. The names of Mesdames Gold
schmidt-Lind, Trebelli-B ettini, Lem
mens-Sherrington and hosts of others
will readily occur to every one as cases
in point But until lately the fashion
was confined in England to actresses,
singers, authoresses and other ladies
whose loss at marriage through the
change of name would have been so
substantial a pecuniary one that it
might be estimated in thousands of
pounds. 1t is only now that ladies in
private life have begun to realize the
fact that their own loss on changing
their name, and thus. to o great ex-
tent losing their identity, is quite as
real and quite as important to them
selves as the actress would be to her,
although possibly no one would go so
far as to say it had monetary value.
The loss of many old friends as we'll as
Of possible bonds of sympathy between
herself and new acquaintances is the
common result, to bride, Of the total
suppression of the name by which she
has hitherto been known. Who is to
recognize the bosom friend of her
school-days, her adored Araminta
Cleveland or Belinda Moreville, under
the prosaic disguise of "Mrs. Smith"
or Mrs. Jonesp" One might be on the
same steamer with her or staying in
the same hotel and be none the wiser.
One might live next door to her for
years in London, seeing her name con-
stantly in the Blue Book or Court
Guides, and yet never recognize her as
the playmate of ones childish days.
More painful still, she might possibly,
should she die a rich and childless
widow, wish to leave something hand

Aurhor--Perhaps you would be will

it so that l might make corrections.
Editor-Well, then, there is no plot
to your story. You must put in good
plot. Then the descriptions are tame;
you must put little vigor and life into
your descriptions. Your conversations
are also unnatural; that would have to
be corrected. And l forgot to state
that the grammatical construction of
some OF your sentences differs with
most rules of language. That is q
fault that we can hardly look over. II

The farmer believed his story and
could now appreciate the feeling of the
schoolmaster He alluded no more to
the former life of the great Marshal.
And time began to move smoothly on
again when the news came out in the
papers that the Duke of Reichstadt,
Napoleon's son was dead. ....
The poor school-master was again
overwhelmed with grief, and retiring
to his own room burned great many
papers, saying:
"Ihey are no use now-I can never
raise an arm for France" He en-
deavored to destroy his sword which
he had always kept with him. He did
break it but Houston begged him for
the hilt as relic, and he gave it to
him. The hilt of that sword which
added so much to the victories of Ma
poleon in the hands of the greatest
cavalry leader the world has ever seen,
is now in the possession of the North
Carolina farmer. ~
The school-master was changed

known to but few, and whether it is
true or not, is implicitly believed by
many prominent men in North Caro-
lima He is said to have correspondent
with some one in France through the
French Consul at Norfolk until the
death of Napoleon's son. when he gave
up all hope of aiding France and lived
almost in seclusion until his death,
which occurred in 1916. He died at
the residence Of Mr.. Osborne Ford. ard

Playing Fool.

An Industrious young shoemaker fell
into the habit Of spending much time
at saloon near by. One by one his
customers began to desert him. When
his wife demonstrated with him for so
neglecting his work for the saloon, he
would carelessly reply: 'Oh. I've just
been down little while playing pool"
His little two-year old caught the re-
frain, and would often ask; us You
goin' down to play fool, papaP" Smith
tried in vain to correct this word. The
child persisted in his own pronuncia-
ton, and day by day he accosted his
father with: HAS you been playin'
fool, papaP" This made deep im-
preston on the shoemaker. as he
realized that the question was being
answered in the falling off Of his Gus.
toners and the growing wants of the
household. He resolved again and
again to quit the pool table, but
weakly allowed the passion of play to
hold him a long time. Finally he
found himself out of work, out Of
money and out of -four. Sitting on his
bench one afternoon, idle and
Respondent, he was heard to exclaim:
mo work again to-day; what I'm to
do / don't know" "Why papa"
prattled the baby, "can't you run
down and play fool some more"
.'Oh, hush! you poor child" groaned
his father, shame-stricken. That's
just the trouble. Papa has played fool
too much already" But he never
played it again, and to-day his home Is
comfortable and happy once more

The saloon is bad, and only bad.
There is no aspect in which it can
be considered as beneficial, either
to morals or religion, TO the State or
to individuals, to industry or COM
merce. As q market for our grain and
grapes it is waste; as an employer it
makes labor unproductive; as q public
business it pauperizes the many for the
sake of the constituencies few; as Q
source of taxation it pays the State
hardly tenth of its cost. What is il
