MUCH ADO.

When you think Of IT. friend, the worrieA
The troubles that wear you out
Are often the veriest trides,
That common sense would fout;
They write the forehead with wrinkles,
They bow the shoulder with care,
Yet 8 little patience would show you, friend,
Just how their weight 10 bear.
It's somebody late to breakfast
And the coffee growing cold;
It's button that isn't fastened,
Or string too slight to.hold:
And time and temper are wasted,
Ard fun is driven away,
And all for the want Of gentleuesS
The home is spoiled for day.
And the children make litter
or toys upon the floor,
And Johnny forgets to wipe his feet
And Susie to shut the door;
And who that hears you scolding,
Which after awhile you'll rue,
Would deem those needless little ones
Just all the world to you?
IT'S well that God and the angels
Know better far than we,
That our conscience and our conduct
friends,
80 seldom quite agree.
It's well that the Lord is patient
And sees, not what we are,
But what at our best. we are fam to be,
Unmoved by strife and jar.
All mel for the little trifes,
OF which our bitter grew,
OF sorrow and trouble is often mixed,
AS weakly, With much ado,
We meet the smaller worries,
That are quickly out of sight
When the sweep of a dark-wInged angel
Obscures our lives with night.

Some of these persons have ridden to the

But mild cases are the chief source of the
trouble. DR.. Prince says: at is my con-

are patches of membrane in the throat, and
yet the symptoms are so mild that the child
is allowed to mingle with the rest of the
family and go about the streets. | think
there is no question that such cases are the
most prolific sources of the contagion.'
Further, among the cases that often fail
to be recognized are those of nasal diph-
iberia. The membrane is out of sight, and
for a time, at least, the disease is easily
mistaken for a cold 1t should be remem-
bered that this, and all the lighter forms Of
diphtheria, may give rise to the most malig-
nant.
3. A case of malignant diphtheria is not
seldom mistaken for one Of membraneous
Group, commonly regarded as non-conta-
gious. 1t is, therefore, neither reported
nor duly guarded against.
4. 1t is necessary that diphtheria should
be taken charge Of as contagious disease
by the Board of Health, with full powers
and all adequate provisions, and, further,
that measures should be taken for the bet
ter understanding of the disease by the
people.

Partially Fooled Robbers.

DENVER, Aug. IA special received
here this afternoon says: The Rio Grande
western train known as The Modoc''
was held up near Crevasse last night by
train robbers. Two of them boarded the
baggage car at Thompson Springs. They
climbed over the car to the engine and
pointed revolvers at the heads of the
engineer and fireman and compelled them
to stop the train. r They forced the fire.
man to attempt TO chop through the
doors of the express car and made the
engineer bring a bag to hold the plumber.
Messenger Willis was ready.with a maya
zine shotgun and two self cooking revolv-
ers. The fireman was unable to chop
through the boiler-iron door. SO the rob-
bers fired a dozen shots through the car.
Messenger Willis lay on the floor and was
not hit.
The robbers dare not show their heads
at the broken windows lest they should
get shot; they gave it up and joined two
other robbers back in the other cars. The
four went through the train with their
revolvers drawn and gathered $500 and
twenty watches. One of the passengers
put his head out of the window to see
what was going on and the robbers sent a
bullet through hs hat. Most of the
passengers hid their valuables success
fully, those losing them being too fright
ened to hide them. A posse has gone
from Green River. Two deputy United
States marshals went out this morning
from Salt Lake with blood hounds.

Burke Rfeaks Down.

CHICAGO, Aug. This morning
Judge Baker issued a writ of habeas COR
pus for the release of Martin Burke, the
Cronin suspect" The writ was obtained
by Lawyer Kennedy who has been refused
with an understanding hat if the officials
permitted Kennedy to see Burke before
3 o'clock the matter would be dropped.
Chief of Police Hubbard in company
with several of DIR. Cronin's friends went
down to see Burke this afternoon for the
purpose of Identification. Hubbard car
ried with him a letter which had been in
the north side post Office some time for
Burke. 1t was from his mother in Iowa.
The prisoner opened the letter and per-
used it. When he had finished he threw
himself upon the floor OF the cell and
cried like a child. Seeing his grief
stricken condition it was decided to post
pone the conformation of the witnesses
until another time.
Chief McRae, of the Winnipeg police,
will be a witness at the trial. He is said
to have won Burke's confidence during
the %lstter's %sojourn in Winnipeg and the
prisoner made important admissions to
him. The authorities here are confident
Burke will eventually confess.
States Attorney Longenecker said to-
day: II do not think he can hold out
against the unavoidable prospect of execu-
ton for murder. | think he will confess.
| am certain Burke is one of the men
who actually killed Cronin and nothing in
the world can save him from the gallows
except a Juror who would not hang any
body.
with all the evidence we have
against Burke, and there is far more
than has been published, there is no es-
cape for him and he will drag down
others with him also. 1t seems the muir
der of Cronin is not the first crime of
that nature with which Burke has been
charged. He was arrested IN 1887 on
suspicion of having been connected with
the death of one Tony Gallagher but was
discharf ed for lack of proof"
At 2 p. M, the hour upon which the
writ in Burke's habeas corpus case was
made returnable, Chief Hubbard, States
Attorney Longnecker and Corporation
Counsel Hutchinson appeared before
Judge Baker. The latter without any
preliminary made the unexpected declara-
ton in reply to the writ that Burke was
not in the custody of Chief Hubbard.
Burke. continued Hutchinson, was in the
hands Of Officer Collins, who held him on
a requisition and who was acting as a
messenger for the president of the United

MIENEAPoLIs, Aug. ii. Frank
COLON, one OF the best known young at
torneys in Minneapolis, has confessed to
forging the name of John f. Blaisdell, a
millionaire pioneer of this city, to notes
and other papers footing up the huge to-
tai OF 1927, 900. 1t had been suspected
for some weeks that there was something
radically wrong with Collom's accounts
He had been the trusted attorney of
Blaisdell for several years. 1t appears
that COLON began his peculiar financial
methods upwards of a year ago. Blais-
dell had every confidence in the young
man until a few weeks ago when f. A.
Chamberlain, cashier OF the Security
bank met him in the street and asked:
How much of j. f. Collom's paper
have you endorsed2" The millionaire
replied: Ten thousand dollars"
Chamberlain became excited. why,
Mr.. Blaisdell," said he, I'VE have nearly
three times that amount OF paper in the
bank endorsed by you" The capitalists
face blanched at this. 1T must be a
mistake" he said. Il know | have
mover endorsed Collom's paper to any
such mount. There must be a great
mistake somewhere"
There Is nj error regarding the
amount" retorted the cashier. ut
strikes me, too, we had better look into
this matter at once" Then Blalsdell
and the Security officials put their heads
together and the result of a hasty inves-
t~igation showed that something very
seriously was wron-. Several brok T
and money loaners were visited and within
a very short period 1921, 900 in notes and

only part of which Blaisdells name was
attached. Blaisdell pronounced all sigma
lures purporting to be his forgeries.
A detective was set to shadow COLON,
his books were overhauled by an expert
accountant. and the opinion of the expert
on handwriting secured was to the effect
hat COLON was a forger. COLON was
then confronted with the evidence against
HIM. Without mincing, the young at
tornev at once broke down and confessed
his crime in detail. COLON wept bitterly
and begged his hearers not to spare him.
He was almost beside himself. Send
me to the p~enitentiarY," he cried; mo
mercy is due me. Do not ask Tor any.
| have been weak and foolish. ! can
only say | deserve my fate. No one can
ever know how [ regret chat | have
violated the confidence placed in me by
Blaisdell."
1t is stated that the money secured
from Blaisdell by COLON was lost entirely
in real estate deals. The young mar has
considerable real estate and equities. They
have all been turned over to Blaisdell.
1t is reported to day that Collom's father
and other friends will come to his assis-
lance. If such proves the case probably
the matter will be settled. The Security
bank holds 1923, 200 of forged papers all
| of which is amply secured. 1t was dis
covered late this morning that COLON had
forged the names of several other promi-
nent citizens for the amounts ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000. COLON occu
pies a handsome residence on Portland
avenue and lives in good style, employ
ing several servants. He has a charming
wife and two or three Young children.
