Electrical Robbers.

A novel aud somewhat scientific
scheme for relieving ladies of their
purses has been successfully carried out
by gang of thieves in Chicago. The
scheme is to give the victim violent
electric shock, thus temporarily paralyz-
ing her.
The most recent victim was Mrs.
jacobson, professional nurse. She was
relieved of purse containing S12 aud
several bundles by the electric method.
She was returning home on Centre ave
nue., near Milwaukee avenue. AS she
passed in the shadow of building two
men brushed against her. Ono Of them
touched her wrist with piece Of metal.
She at once received n violent electric
shock that caused her TO let go her purse
and several bundles and sent her reeling
against the building. She was so dazed
for the moment that she did not realize
what had happened. AS soon as she re-
covered from the effects of the shock she
began TO look around for her purse and
bundles. They were not in sight. Then
it dawned upon her that she had been
robbed. The two men who had passed
her were just turning on Milwaukee ave-
nue.. Quiokening her steps she followed
them, hoping 20 meet an officer that she
might have them placed under arrest.
At Chicago avenue she quit the pursuit
and ran 70 the police station and told
what had occurred. An officer was sent
out with her, but the men could not be
found. A similar case was reported early
in the week by Miss Czarkofski, q Young
lady typewriter, who lives on Noble
street. Her weeks wages were taken.
How the fellows produced the electricity
Is not known 90 the police. Some are
Of the belief that they carry a small bat
terry with them, while others take the
view that they attached small wires 70
the electric light current. Mrs. Jacob
fon said the shock was 50 violent that Il
stunned her FOR the time being. --Chio1go

They SLAMMED Wives.

A swap that was something out of
the ordinary was made by two farmers
living near Sidney, Neb., few DAYS
ago, but the details have Just been be-
come public. j. III. Fox and 1. Schad
were neighbors in Cotton precinct.
Both were young married men and
Schad had one child The latter was
considered 10y the good people of Col
ton an exemplary young man. He
taught the district school, was super
intendent of the Sunday-schoo an
exhorter in the Universalist Church,
and. above all, dyed-in-the-wool Spir.
itualist. His wife was young and
pretty.
Fox was simply a farmer. He, too,
was the possessor of an attractive wife.
The two families became intimate, and
it developed in time that Mr.. Schad
and Mrs. Fox had become enamored
of each other, and of each other, and
that q similar state of affairs existed
between Mr.. Fox and Mrs. Schad
The four became acquainted with each
others feelings, and finally the two
men struck bargain and snapped
wives. Schad babe his wife an affec
tionate adieu, kissed his little one
gOod-by, loaded Mrs. Fox into n neigh
boris wagon, and together they were
driven to Crook, station on the Col
RADIO Division of the Union Pacific. AND
then took passage for Denver. Fo1
and Mrs. Schad and the latter's child
remained at Cotton. 49, PhiladelDhi

She was laughing, too, ut the absurd

tiveness.
Altogether she looked 80 very tempt

his arms about her and snatching o

He had her fairly on his knee now
and was pressing her TO his heart and
smothering her with kisses, and at in
tervals roaring, "Ilove you'll" at the top
of his voice.
Minnie submitted silently to the tor
rent of his passion for time, but as he

COrnileld Philosophy.

Ice is of little use to the small boy
who has no skates, and of still less use
to the one who is bare-footed.
The stranger who gives You his con-
fdence unasked is either fool or he
takes YOU for one.
Small shoes will hurt her feet, but
still girl will wear them. She cares
more for her beau than for her feet.
once knew n man who was careful
to eat pie with his fork, but he was not
careful to eat but one piece.
There is no one so sure that honesty
is the best policy as the man who is in
Jail for stealing. And the man who
has lost his good money can readily see
the wrong of gambling.
The man with the large nose is not
necessarily a humanitarian. He nav
have secured the large nose by calling
some one liar.
The street car horse is not in favor
of rapid transit.
An exchange of courtesies is usually
an attempt by two men to get some
thing for nothing.
The world turns over and keeps ev-
erything even. The coal man is on ton
now, but soon he will have to bow TO
him who sells ice.
Pay as you go, and if you can't pay
don't go.
1t is not the use of money, but tho
abuse of it, that makes it an evil.
