HELD UP THE HIGHwAYMAN.
Experience of Hero With Counter
L. parts in Various Places.


The following story must be true, be-
cause ii happened two weeksaso at Austin
and last week in Lake View. 1t has also
been yariously Inscribed 10 Evanston and
Chicago Heights and the last man who told
il mentioned the name of the people con-
cerned and said he kne W them well.
Mr.. Burton was aroused shortly after
midnight by his wife, who said that little
Freddie was coughing just as though he
had the Group and for him tMr. Burtonl
to go and bring the doctor.
Thereupon Mr.. Burton aroused himself
and. assisted by his wife, got into his
clothes As his wife was helping him on
with his overcoat she asked him: THOMAS,
have you your revolver?
NO; had 1 better take it?"
..Ishould dthinkso. lateandthes streets
are fearfully dark"
She handed him the weapon, which he
cautiously slipped into the side pocket of
his oyercoat, where he could keep his
hand on IL.
II was, indeed, a very dark. night. He
could barely discern the shapes OF trees,
fences and houses.
As he turned a corner he ran heavily
against another man. They collided fully.
and then Mr. Burton jumped back with
his heart In his throat.
Excuse me-" said the man in the dark
ness. aud he passed on.
Burton took a firmer hold on hisrevolver.
Then he happened to think OF something.
He felt for his watch. 1t was gone. The
fellow had bumped into him so as to slip
the watch from his pocket.
Burton drew hisrevolver nd ran afterthe
rObber, who began to run.
..Stop. or III shoot'v shouted Burton.
The man stopped aud leaned against q
fence.
Now" said Burton, with the revolver
advanced. ''you give me that watch
The robber handed it over.
Now. you skip" and the fellow ran.
When Burton reached home he was pale
and excited. but quite exultaut.
footpad ran into me and grabbed my
watch" said he, but drew my gun and
made him give it hack"
why Thomas" exclaimed his dismayed
wife. Il took the watch out OF your Vest
pocket before you started.''
Now, in at least three suburbs where all
this happened the doctor came 10 q half
hour later.
He was agitated and explained that he
had been called away on an urgent case at
the time Mr.. Burton called at his house.
"And right at the next corner" he added.
II was held up by the most yillainOIs look
ing bighwaymau you ever saw and robbed
OF my watch"

Winter LingerS.

The almost summer weather that has pre-
vailed here during the past few days Is
apt to make people careless as to their
apparel. The temptation is very strong
to doff those heavy flanncis and assume Il
lighter quality OF underwear. With warm
nigihs comes the longing for cool air; win
dows arc incautiously left open, and often
colds, which not infrequentiy degenerate
into pneumonia, are waited in through the
easement. Both these proceedings are haz.
ardous and apt to produce trouble and sor-
row.
The past is n pretty good criterion for
the future. By experience we have learned
that April's smiles, like woman's, arc not
always TO be depended upon. They are
likely 10 be followed by clouds and storms.
Thus the heat OF the last three or four days

gobtaiI Cars and Rapid Transit.

GriswOid imagipes that what by courtesy
is called the Anacostia Railway is OF the
least service To anybody, aud il is not
useful and certainly not ornamental, it
should make way for something that full
nils either or both requisites.
one is puzzled to comprehend upon what
grounds the contention that the Me;ropoli-
tan rapid transit line should tolerate the
Grswold incubus can be justified. The
offer or that company to give free tran
fcrs to the An1costia line at the Center
Market is more Than fair. The latter con-
Germ could then work out its own salvation.
woaid not. interfere with the rapid transit
schedule. and the patrons of the Metropoli-
tan line would not be annoyed by having
to follow ut funeral-procession gait In
the wake OF one OF Mr.. Grswold-s little
trundlers. The present arrangement is
worse than incongruous; il is a nuisance
which cannot be abateI too soon. =
In these days OF local rapid transit
such street railway lines as the Ana costa
are conspicuously out OF place. especially
when there are others with more modern
tcndcncles ready 20 take their place. This
condition becomes tcnfold worse when
rapid transit is impeded, as II is in the
present Instance. The Anacestia bob
tail car ought to go.

Grass Linen Collars.

Grass linen sailor collars will be worn
on many of the cloth gowns this spring.
These collars are much more elaborate
than they were last year. One. which was
seen on an imported blue serge gown. was
trimmed with a narrow band OF white
embroidery beading. Through the beading
srarlet haby ribbon was run, and the
effect was exceedingly pretty.
Another grass linen collar in the natural
linen shade, was trimmed with an insertion
of black lace, and finished with deep
frill of the lace. The shops are now selling
gauntlet cuffs of grass linen to match the
sajior collars.

Of his. He and I were brought up play
mates together here in Washington. He
was apoorboy. remember once he wanted
to 20 to a party just as he was budding
into manhood, but he had no su!tl bic

He told me of his invitation and I
loaned him suit of my own. We were

him very well He went to the party
ana had a good time, and think that very
night he met the girl who is now his wife.

indolent before, he seemed to be inspired
with new energy from that time on"

crime in the eyes OF medical societies-are

fession, AMI as reputable as an ywho are gov
erncd altogether by professional ethics. TO
exclude such would be as wrong as to al
init the quacks and the ignoramuses. MI
Call SAYS he has very grave doubts as to any
law that makes u crime of any effort to re-
lieve human suffering" He is entirely right
IN his doubts, but the quacks whom the Dill
seeks to prevent from practicins herer do
not relieve, but add to. human suffering, ana
for this reason their exclusion is advisable.
In nearly every State a certificate from
some duly authorized official board Is re-
quired to enable u physician to enter upon

ma. which shows that he has passed the
requisite final examination or some med
icaI college. That is what the bill in question
coniempiates, and there would seem to be
good rea sun why the Florida Senator should
not insist upon his objection.

The Times, with its great cirouit.-
ton, the largest ever attained by
any daily paper ever published in
the District Of Columbia, has long
since been Recognized as powerful
factor in every public enterprise. 1t
is also recognized by our wide-awakc
merchants as one of the strongest
factors in the growth and success
of their respective businesses. The
Times is the favorite paper of the
people; hence, is the favorite medium
of the business man, who, 312 days
In every year has his hand on the
pulse of the people and carefully
weighs their wishes. The Times is
strong in lis position with the Wash
ington public, and those who lean
on it, find IT q friend in need. The
Times is surely, steadily growing.
All other Washington papers are just
as surely losing. Watch and compare.
The circulation of The Times for

will probably be succeeded by Z Fpell OF
cold weather. Already there have been
falling temperatures in Idaho and Mon
tana, and as the present warm wave had
lis origin in that vicinity it is not un-
reasonable TO assume that its more frigid
successor may also take an eastward direc-
ton.
1t is best, therefore. to be cautious and
run no risks. Better suffer little discom-
fort for day or two than suffer the pangs
and pains of pneumonia or some other
equally unpleasant ailment for months.
And, while adults ought to be careful of
themselves, they should be yet more solic-
itous about the little ones whose ignorance
of cause and effect, though more exeusable
than that Of grown persons, is none the less
apt to visit upon them serious consequences.
