What does the average girl do if she
thinks she hears n burglar IN the nightl
We have read about girls who get up and
go for the burglars and scare them to
death, but the average girl does not do
this. She Is most likely TO cover up her
head with the clothes, lie very still with
her hands over her cars so that she can't
hear thing and try just as hard as she
can TO - to sleep. OF course, II there
is burgksr there seems very little sense
in doing so, but, as a matter Of fact, she
does not care very much whether there Is
a burglar or not so long as she can escape
being scared knowing about It, Another
girl will sit right up straight In bed stare
out into the dark and listen and listen.
She is dreadfully frightened if She does
not hear anything but she usually does
not, because almost always these scares
are groundless. IF she does not hear
something she either screams right out
loud at once for ''ma" or f'pa, - or who
ever she thinks Of first, and continues her
screams prOmiscuously, as it were or she
says very bravely: What do you want2"
adding with great firmness: go away,
go awayl' After this she either has hys-
terics or gets up and hunts for him. Some
girls have Mysteries the first thing, while
others get right up and run as hard as
they can to mas room or pas room and
then have Mysteries when they get there.
Others make sure that the burglar is
downstairs, or. at any rate, not In their
own room, jump up, lock and barricade
their door, and then sit down behind all
the protection and whimper. This is not
a bit brave, and it is certainly selfish be-
cause it argues indifference to the fate of
others in the house. but lots of girls do
just this.

One Of the most skillful dental surgeons
in New York gives these rules for the care
of the teeth:
use soft brush and water the tenn
perature of the mouth. Brush the teeth
up and down in the morning, before going
to bed and after eating, whether 1t be
three or six times day. Use good
tooth powder twice a week, not oftener,
eXcA@t in case Of sickness, when the acids
from the disordered stomach are apt TO
have an unwholesome effect upon the
dentine. Avoid all tooth pastes and den
tifrices that foam in the mouth; the
lather is a sure sign of soap, and soap in
jures the gums, without In any way
cleansing the teeth.
''The very best powder is of precipi-
tated chalk IL is absolutely harmless and
will clean the enamel without affecting
the gums. Orris root or a little winter
green added gives a pleasant flavor, but
it in no way improves the chalk.
''At least a quart Of tepid water should
be used in rinsing the mouth. A teaspoon
full of listeriue, in half a glass Of water,
used as a gargle after meals, Is excellent !;
il Is good for sore or loose gums IL sweet
ems the mouth and is a valuable anti
septic.
Coarse, hard brushes and sOapy denti-
frices cause the gums 10 recede, leaving
the dentine exposed.
use a quill pick, If necessary after
eating but piece Of waxed floss is
better"

But the man is really ferocious because

more recognition of the sleeps feel

simply nonresident; and it is just as
inappropriate to think of the wolf as
cruel as II would be TO call the sheep
cruel for eating grass.
Are we, then, TO say that nature" is
cruel because the arrangement in

That is a problem which do not feel

Horrible Murder of q Ranchman and IT'S
Son-Hacked to Pieces by Mexican Rob
terA
ST. LOUIS, Sept. ia special from
San Antonio, Tex, says that horrible
double murder occurred on the Van
Horn ranch near Del Rio, Tex, We'd
nesday. A band of twelve Mexican
outlaws visited the ranch, on which
lived an American and his little son.
Having overpowered the man and
plundered the house of everything Of
value and failing to find any money,
they bound the ranchman and threat
ened to take his life II he did not tell
them where he had his money con-
cealed. He told them he had none.
Then they cut off one of his arms above
the elbow with hatchet.
They commanded him again to re-
veal the whereabouts of his hidden
wealth, but he could not convince
them that he had none, SO they cut off
his other arm and cut his body in a
score OF places. Then they split his
head with the hatchet; seized the boy,
cut his throat from ear to ear, and rode
off, leaving the bodies to be devoured
by vultures and coyotes. The rangers
have captured two Of them.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-Advices received
here show that Admiral Mello, COM
manding the rebel Brazilian fleet, car
ried out his threat to lombard the forts
guarding the bay of Rio De Janeiro.
The rebel warships, including the
cruisers Aquidaban, Republica and
Trajano, took up positions before the
forts shortly before o'clock Wednes-
day morning and little after that
hoisted signals to fire. The first gun
was fred from the flagship of the feet
and its detonation had scarcely died
away before the shot was answered
from the fort at which it was directed.
The firing then became general and
the bombardment was deafening.
From all the advices at hand, how
ever, it appears that little damage was
done either to the forts or to the war
ships. The four twenty-ton breech-
loading guns of the Aquidaban did not
appear to be well handled and many Of
their balls went wide of their marks.
Equally poor Workmanship was dis
played by the gunners in the forta
Considerable excitement prevailed in
that city during the continuance Of the
hostilities At about p. m, or after
the bombardment had lasted six hours,
tho signal "cease firing" was displayed
on the flag ship and the rebel feet
withdrew. There were few casual
ties among the government troops
The loss to the rebels or the damage to
the ships is unknown.

Going barefoot Is Healthful.

AS TO the healthfulness Of going
without shoes or stockings there can
be no question. Some OF the healthiest
children Of the world are TO be found
In the Scottish highlands, where shoes
are seldom worn at an earlier age than
10 and 13. The negro and coolie labor
ers, who work barefooted, are usually
In robust health. Brown, in the His
tory Of Man." tells Of an African
monarch who suffered from what ap-
peared to have been a cold in his head,
besides other ailments, while his people
were always as well as possible. Can
II be that the reason was that, by the
laws Of his kingdom, he alone was per-
mitted TO clothe his feet, and that he
gratifled his vanity by always wearing
gorgeous sandals? II is probably gem
eralizing too much TO state, as medical
fact, that the barefooted races are the
healthiest. But IL Is certain that bare
feet are healthier than badly shod feet.
In our English villages children are
constantly sent TO school in wet
weather with holes In their shoes.
They sit for hours with damp feet, and
illnesses are the result. II their parents
would send them off barefooted, as Is
done in Scotland and Ireland, their
feet would dry by evaporation in a
short time, and 1t would be found that
no harm followed--London Hospital

CoUGRLIN MAY ESCAPE.

Dan Coughlin, the Chicago Detective I'm
pllcated In tho Cronln Murder Case, Not
Likely to bo Convicted Again.
CHICAGO, Sept 15.-Dan Coughlin,
the detective convicted of completely
in the Cronin murder of 1889, and re-
Gently granted new trial by the su-
preme court, may escape with no more
than sham legal battle for the sake
Of legal technicality. Many Of the
most important wi illnesses are dead or
next TO impossible to locate. The evil
dence against the other defendants can
not be used against Coughlin. Some
Of this indirect testimony had much
TO do with weaving the web which
finally landed Coughlin in Joliet, and
its absence may assist him in escaping
the legal penalty for his alleged wrong
doing.
States Attorney Kern, Inspector
Setback and Capt schuettler were in
conference the greater portion of
Wednesday going over the records Of
the case. The outlook was not encour-
aging, and the three officers were by
no means confident Of winning the
fight 10 come. The case will be called
for trial in week or ten days.

smoke and flames. The grass is high
and dry as gun powder and burned
fercely.
A maiden lady named Sabetha Sharp,
from Oklahoma City, went in on
boomer wagon. When it had passed
over the first claim she jumped out and
planted her flag. Thousands OF people
had passed over it, but as she expressed
it, at was good enough for her."
After the rush was over she was Of
fered $4,000 for it by banker OF this
city.
At an early hour in the morning peo-
pie began thronging to the Santa Fe
depot by thousands TO be on hand for
the trains For hours long line OF
men and women waiting to buy tickets
extended from the ticket window out
half the length of the platform. The
waiting rooms and platform were
packed to suffocation. The crowd
swarmed across the tracks and fiagmen
preceded the engine to keep people
back. 1t was easy to distinguish the
spectators from the lot and claim TAX
ers, the latter being provided with
stakes, flags, axes, hatchets, shovels,
etc. Seven train loads were hauled into
the strip from here and they were so
crowded that several persons who were
clinging to the tops of the coaches were
jostled off and seriously injured The
trains moved very slowly or many
would have been killed.
Soon the last of the trains pulled in
and the scramble for land continued
with increased vigor. Quarter sections
about Perry had all been taken, but in
every direction lines were being run
and additional towns laid out, to be
called North Perry, South Perry, East
Perry and West Perry By 3 o'clock
fully 10000 men and women OF all ma
tionalities and colors were on the site
Of what all hope win be great city,
without food and without water. The
scenes at Enid were but repetition OF
those at Perry. Many accidents were
reported, but so far none Of serious
nature The south line of Cowley
county, with Arkansas City as the CEN
ter, presented q scene almost as ami
mated and exciting as that at Orlando.
Rumors Of many shooting ARRAYS are
current here, and while some have un-
doubtedly occurred between sooners
and homesteaders, it is absolutely i'm
possible to corroborate them. One is
to the effect that five men were killed
in free-for-all fight over valuable
town-site claim adjoining Blackwell,
but no PARTICULARS of it can be obtained.
The dead body of boomer, shot
through the head, was found two miles
west and one north of Kildare in the
afternoon. The body was taken to
Kildare, but has not been identified.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept lS.-Careful
estimates show that the rush into the
Cherokee strip from various principal
points at noon Saturday was made as
follows: From Arkansas City, 5000 by

from Caldwell, Kas., 10000; from Or
lando, Okla, $4,000; from saltwater,

After few minutes the same
gendarme came again, accompanied by
the conductor, and said to me in a
commanding tone, "Vash passport"
("Your passport!") answered as
politely as possible that my passport
had already been examined and
stamped, and asked why he wanted il

gendarme roared out as if he were

"Eto nashe dielo! Wash passport! !"
