Burglar Thompson's Wound May
Yet Prove Fatal.

1t has been found necessary to re-
move burglar j. b. Thompson, alias
Frank McCarty, who was shot by Percy
Mccoy some weeks ago, to the County
Hospital for treatment.
The mans condition has become
quite serious. He was shot in the face
by Mccoy as he was leaving the resi-
dence of the latter's uncle, which he had
robbed and the wound has been grow
ing worse, instead of healing. 1t would
not be surprising If it caused the death
of the burglar.

SPECIAL NOTICES

Alex. Holmes. Photo Studio. 1903 1Otl
The courier., 1896-01-04

In the gray old church where the
marble shrine
OF the Virgin Mary stands,
A penitent woman in agony kneels
And prays with outstretched hands;
Ave spotle;s one,
Hear my prayer,
l have no hope to save thou alone,
In my despair"
Her voice is choked with broken sighs,
She wrings her hands in grief,
Her body is shaken by stormy sobs,
As the wind shakes a trembling
leaf;
AVE Maria-see my shame
My agony,
who am lost, undone,
All pity me-"
Then prone on her face the woman falls
Her bosom barred to stony floor.
Her voice is stiffled, half mixed with
dsath
AS she gasps and prays once more:
AVE Maria my bleeding heart
bring to thee,
Cleanse thou its lust away
Oh pardon me.
But the image of Mary nor smiles. nor
frowns,
Nor stoops with listening ear.
Her placid face in the old church shines
Nor the prayer does she seem to
hear;
Ave Maria-the flames of hell
Are in my heart,
The fire CONSUMES my helpless
soul
Bid it depart"
And there on the floor of the gray old
church
When the nuns come in for prayer,
They find the SHINE in a scarlet gown.
Her red dishevelled hair,
Like pool of clotted blood spread out
On the pavement cold and bare,
Her lips move not. nor her rigid hands
Yet there seems to float through
the air;
Ave Maria-spotless one
Hear my prayer,
/ have no hope save thou alone
In my despair"

The exhibit in the art room OF the Ii.
brary building. though not at first i'm.
preston, grows, on examination. into a
very good show. The four landscapes
by Leonard Ochtman have distance, at.
mosphere and clean color. 1t shows how
much we need this kind Of picture here
when people can be heard to say do
not like those pictures, they do not look
like anything | ever saw. Very likely
not, but do you not wish you could see
like that madame!"
Miss Parker's contributions to this
years Lincoln salon show marked i'm
proyement in her work. The small head
in bright light, with purple CULVER
ing shadow on the hair is an exquisite
thing. 1t is small but it easily carries
the width of the room. She knew what
she was about when she painted that
head piece The work is done with
assurance, boldness. 1t is unified. the
completed work Of a single inspiration.
Miss Parker's autumnal color in a group
of trees little south OF Lincoln is a
charming bit of color and shows the
influence OF Ochtman, so also does "The
grey day in the Shinnecock hills" Miss
Margaret Clark has loaned three pic
lures, one a tree-embowered pond by
Mile. Julien, a copy OF one OF Chap
Inns heads by the same artist and a dis
tant view OF Venice by Walter Brown.
Mile. Julien was favorite pupil OF
the great Chaplin whose works are very
rare. Meissoner's and Jrome's are
cheap compared to this masters many.
of whose works have been destroyed by
fire. The French people think SO much
of the treasures he has left they would
not allow any OF them to be brought to
this country even to the worlds fair.
Miss Clark herself is uurepresented in
the collection. This is unfortunate. l
happen to know she has some evidences
of last summers work in the Shine
cock aills, sketches full Of delicate feel
ing and the shimmering elusive color OF
summer days on the sea. 1t is remark
able that such fiat unaspiring peace
as Lincoln should have produced three
energetic, ambitious, already on the
heip hts. women such as Alice Fighter.
Margaret ClarS and Elizabeth Tuttle.
Mr.. Laurie Wallace, the director OF
the Omaha Art school sent a head and
two landscapes The head shows the in

grasses overhang it, wonder where he
sat when he painted it. 1t is so soft and

Row the Clumsy Animals Trap Sea
Gulls.
The sea lion is probably the clum-
siest animal in the world. He likes to
bask in the sun all day, and when he
moves he is exceedingly sluggish and
awkward. 1t has often been wondered
how this animal manages to secure it's
favorite food, wild sea fowl.
Sea gulls are so wild that it is diff
cult even for man to get within gun
shot Of one. The seal seems to realize
that 1t would be a waste of time to
attempt to crawl up upon the gulls as
they rest upon the water and catch
them unawares. So he watches until
the gulls are soaring slowly through
the air close to the waves. Then the
derneath the water for some distance.
By the time he has managed to swim
about q hundred feet the gull has for
gotten the presence Of its enemy. This
gives the seal his opportunity. He
cautiously rises to the surface of the
water at some distance from the point
at which he dived, and allows merely
the tip Of his great nose to appear
above the water.
Remaining in this position, he gives
his enormous body a rotary motion go
that his nose describes a circle on the
surface of the ocean. He does this so
skilfully that to the gull his nose looks
like q water bug Mt play. This catches
the gulrs eye, and 1t ut once darts
| down with the speed of an arrow, aim
ing straight for the little dot. The
| seal sees it coming and sinks q few
| inches, and as the gull strikes the wa
ter with tremendous force, the seals

"Look herew he cried to the old gen.
tleman, as he came hurriedly back.
'aThese gentlemen have taken what
they didn't know vas an autograph
bicycle. Here you see the name in
the mud. Rogers marked quite dis
tinctly. That was a little idea of my
own. In making a non-slipping tire I
had the name written, as It were, in
raised letters all around the circum-

struck me that it might write my

Rogers, after a hasty breakfast,
sprang on the burglars bike and put
in his best ticks along the lane and
down the by-road he had travelled the
! night before. Even when they came
to the main road, ten miles away, he
could still descry his name in many Of
the soft spots in the road. Before
aoon they had run down the burglars,
much to their surprise, and Rogers. in
pointing out the merits of his machine
to the captured man. explained to him
in the most kindly manner that If he
had not stolen that particular bicycle
he would very likely not at that mo-
ment be in custody. Whereupon the
burglars loudly cursed the automatic

that burglars have no real apprecia.
