eral merchandise store of John l..

sl00 worth of goods. The thief, if not
novice, must have been demented,
for he went to a saloon several hun
dred yards away and walked up the
clerk and wanted to give him new
watch for pint of whisky and dol
lar. The clerk thought he recognized
the watch as the property of Mr.. Tomp-
klns and sent one of the clerks
over to the store to wake up Mr.. Tonp-
kin's clerk and find out if the watch
was not Mr.. Tompkins' property. The
clerk repaired to the saloon and fully
identified the watch and took charge
of the man, and also recovered all the
stolen goods. The prisoner gave his

and he was placed in Jail at Convent.

"If Ever 1 Cease to Love-

Says the Picayune: Many years ago,
when Rex, the King of the Carnival,
first officially visited this city, with his
retainers, and court, and followers,
and all hangers-on of royalty, the
music of a catchy ditty, popular at the
academy of music here at that time,
was adopted as the national air of
Rex. 1t was: "If Ever l Cease
to Lover And that is played to
this day for Rex music. 1t seems
trifling thing; but is full of meaning.
1t is love that makes the world go
round and keeps it su pplied with peo-
pie. 1t is love that fills the world with
kind deeds and generous acts suggested
by pity, that is akin to lost. Love
makes the world go round. To love is
live. Human beings who have love love
become hateful monsters. A man or
woman could rightfnlly pray: Let me
be dead, If Ever Cease to Love T"
