1t suddenly pops into Mrs. Honey

reason apparently that she heard Fred
say at breakfast that he was going to
paint the squares on his checker board

with the force of conviction that he
was doing this in the library with his

Probably there is nothing that inter.
ests the land owner more at this time
of the year than fencing. They are de.
Eirous of securing the very best articls
they can for the purpose they desire to
use it for and at the cheapest prizes
going. While this is good business
price should not take the place Of
quality. In building a smooth wire
fence you do not build 1t for temporary
use but expect it to last you for years
and to get this kind of an article II
requires a certain amount of good ma.
terial to make it.
The De Kalb Fence Co, of De Kalb
ILL.,, has the largest and most COM
plete line of smooth wire fencing Of any
plant in the country. We desire par
ticularly to call your attention to their
goods and write them for a catalogue
which they will mail you free.
No line Of goods has grown so rapidly
in demand or given such general salts
faction as the fencing manufactured by
this company. Their steel web picket
fence for lawn and yard purposes. their
cabled field and hog fence for farm use.
their cabled poultry, garden and rabbit
fence for its use, are all they claim for
them.
You will hardly do yourself Justice II
you do not thoroughly investigate their
lines before placing your order.

was stored away in the furthermost
recesses of that mechanism she was
pleased to call her brain, only to be
resurrected in case she should feel, at
some remote period in the future, that
country air would be bracing to her
nerves.
The nerves of young Mrs. Honey

Young Mr.. Honeylove, the .'best of
young men, was, at this particular
moment, with q persistent energy
worthy of a better cause, engaged in
blocking out and painting no less a

BURGLARS ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
They Visited the Residence of Rev. j.
L.. Race. on Cedar Avenue.

Burglars paid visit at an early hour
yesterday morning Ia the parsonage Of
Cedar Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church and got away with 4 silver tea
set presented to Rev. j. l.. Race. the
pastor, on the celebration of his golden
jubilee few months ago, his gold
watch which he owned for over 20 years,
and his new overcOat.
Cedar avenue church is on the corner
of Cherry street and the parsonage
is in the rear of the church and faces
on Cherry street. Rev. MIR. Race was
busy in the church until nearly mid
night preparing for the Christmas eX-
erciseS that are to take place this
evening. When he left the church he
securely fastened the doors, and before
retiring he saw that the doors in the
parsonage were hoited as usual.
During the night no member of the
family heard noise, although the ar
ticlos stolen were all in room adjOin-
ing the one in which the minister slept.
The visit Of the burglars was not dis
covered until yesterday morning when
the family arose.
The doors were found unlocked, and
window in the rear of the house was
priej open. The church was also hrok-
en- into, but the burglars found nothing
there they cared to take.
Rev Mr.. Race made his appearance
at the police station soon after the loss
was discovered and gave description
of the articles missing The watch Is
