BIDDEFoRD, Ne. March 10. Detectives
are still at work in L;mingion following
up cews in the hope OF capturing the par
ties who assaulted and robbed Leonard j.
Strout. the town treasurer The crime
was committed early last December.
Treasurer Strout had been butchering, and
had left the door Of his barn ajar to cool

took a lantern aid went out to lock the
barn door. Half an hour later mel ghbor

following day was lac able to talk He re-
memberei that just as he was coming out
Of the barn somebody dealt him a blow on
the head that stunned him. Within three
DAYS after the robbery the town offered a
reward OF $3.50 for the capture OF the rob
bers, TO which sum Mrs. Strout added an
other $3.50. A firm of Portland detectives
has been working on the case, as has also
"A Buxton man. 1t now comes from good
authority that the Portland detectives
have gathered sufficient evidence to ndct
certain parties at the next term OF the
supreme court. and that arrests are likely
20 be made within few days.
The parties suspected are said to be
members Of family who came from Cor
ham few years ago, and up to last June
resided at East Limington. A father and
four brothers represented the male por-
ton Of the household. The story has been
circulated here in Biddeford that Lining
tons treasurer was not robbed, but no
body who knows Mr. Strout has placed
any confidence in it. He is one of the
most prominent men in York county, Is
devoted church member, trustee of Linn
ington academy, prominent politician
and a wealthy farmer. Limington people
redicule the idea that he was not robbed,
as alleged. His annual report as treas
urer just submitted TO the town auditor,
shows that the Sos of the towns money
stolen has been paid in. Some OF the
town officers were DESTROYS of inserting in |
the warrant for next Mondays election an
article providing for Mr., Strout's REIN
bursement, but he would not allow it to /

suspicion rests upon the treasurer's |

Glimpse OF a Gambling Saloon In New
York City.

While we were walking along 9th ave-
nue. one evening last week my friend
BtIid Frost asked me if cared to wit
ness Monte Carlo on a small scale.
"What do you mean?" said l., "a gam
bling DEM"
Upon his nodding assent I remarked
that there was nothing strange in his
proposition. "Why," said, this whole
avenue 1--WE were near 18th street, is lined
with gambling establishments
He then explained that this particular
game was run on different lines from
the rest. We stopped in front of a low
brick building. 1t was to all intents and
purposes an express office and cigar store
combined. "Come with me, said Budd,
quietly, as we entered the place
We walked behind the counter and
then back of a tall screen. A heavy
door barred the way. There l noticed
the conventional "peephole.
"lt's all right" said Budd. The door
swung quietly open and we~entered,
and what Transformation scene greeted
my eyes! 1t was large room or hall
some 80 feet long. The air was thick
with tobacco smoke. On rough euess
l should estimate that at least 200 per.
sons, mostly young men, were in the
room. And what is more, most of them
were engaged in gambling, either at
roulette. hazard. or faro.
Ibis was evidently "cheap game. "
noticed that most of the "chips" were
played at five cents apiece. One young
fellow had several hundred of them in
front Of him. He had started in on s
dollar, he said, and wanted to win $50
1 hope he succeeded, but didn't wait to
see.
As left the place l met one of Cap.
tain Reilly's policemen in front of the
door. The nearest roulette wheel was
less than 10 feet distant. One could al
most hear the rattle of the chips out in
the street. The policeman, however.
didn't appear to notice this.
1t is wonderful what lot of things
there are around New York that police
man don't notice. ce.-New York Herald

The best way to start in life is astriie q

way you learn to rough it, You are pre-
pared for hard bounces on the road of
life; you learn to hold on; you get the
habit of depending on your own heels,
and not upon other peoples stirrups
you find how to climb on without any,
body to give you boost. 1t does not
hurt you SO much when you fall off.
And some day far on in life, when yo,,
are in the midst of the hot and dusty
city, and you are weary with the rush
and din of the world, in your imagina

you canter through the old time orchard

Intellectual Women.

1t is often said that study disgusts
women with domestic labors This Is an
error. If anything diverts lis from our
daily duties, it is not study but frivolity
Minds that are incapable of fixing them
selves on serious subject are not the
better fitted on that account to keep the
household expenses within bounds or to
govern their children. Women whose
intellectual nurture consists of plays ant.
novels are not likely to air their apart
ments better than those who read his.
tory and philosophy. Frequently the
scholarly woman knows how to handle a
broom better than the one who knows
nothing of science or literature. When
ever an interesting volume prevents one
from performing a household duty, the
fault does not lie in the legitimate desire
for mental cultivation, but in the love Of
enjoyment, which has its root in selfish.
ness, however elevated be its object
Moreover, while the diigent hands are
busted with humble tasks the mind does
not cease to roam. Is it not better that
it should move in lofty sphere, in the
domain of letters and science. than be
occupied with such wretched subjects as
scandal and gossip7 Those who have
the highest claim on us should be glad to
have us do little independent thinking.
We are drawn closer to those who or.
dnarily occupy our thoughts if we can
remove ourselves from them at certain
moments. 1t is one Of the privileges es-
pecially reserved for women that what
ever they do for themselves conters a
benefit on others.-Sadie E. Martin, in
