CLEVER DETECTIVE WORK.
r. r. Kane, of Gate City, Va, was in
the city Thursday and got very drunk.
He was sitting in the street late Thurs
day evening when three negroes an
preached him and rreceiving his condi
tion offered to take him somewhere where
he would be out of danger from arrest.
They walked him short distance, but
soon left him and as soon as Mr.. Kane
regained his equilibrium he discovered
that very valuable gold watch which he
had on his person was missing. He at
once informed the police and within three
hours after the robbery was reported the
robber had been captured and the watch
recovered. The case was given to Officer
Rigney. Just before the robbery was re-
ported he noticed negro named Tom
Wade acting in very suspicious man
ner, and at once thought OF him as posi-
bly, the robber. He soon located his man
and after questioning him right closely
and getting no satisfactory an swer he ar.
rested him and on the way TO the jail
Wade confessed to the theft and yester.
day morning was indicted before the
grand jury.

PEACE ON EARTH, ECT.

For the Sunday Light, by Laura Fech-

"As the Christmas time approaches
there ringeth throughout the world
the universal refrain of peace onearth,
good will toward men," ''Ali that our
eye DehOlds, the trees, the fields and
all nature proclaim that peaceful
realm, which cOmeth after duty is well

which has been garnered in.
But how is it with us who are en-

that we are to do that duty well.

land where the dollar is the ruling
fashion, we should not murmur. as re-

conscientiously is, to extract the gold

1t is recorded of a witty Catholic
prelate, that on one occasion he was in
the company of a Protestant clergy
man, noted for his opposition to the
whole body of the Catholic doctrine.
The Protestant pastor thought it a
good opportunity to protest against the
doctrines of Rome and made a dead
set at the belief of the Catholic church
in purgatOry, winding up with the de-
claratiOn Il do not believe in purga-
tory. will have nothing to do with
purgatory. l will never go to purga-
tory" TO which the Catholic prelate
replied with a smile We'll. 20 to hell,
them
The Light preacher has nothing TO
do with either the ''purgatory" of its
Catholic reader, or the hell of its
Protestant patron. The little incident
is recalled as affOrding a peg upon
which to pin this discourse on Person
al Purgatory."
1t will be noted that there is no refer
ence to church forms, or penances. or
doctrines, or formulas, or beliefs.
There is no inquiSitiOn into what this
or that branch of the older Catholic.
or the newer Protestant church may in
culcate, or teach, or require. The
Light discourses have nothing to do in
determining a belief. or in criticising
an article of faith. These aim only to
so teach and direct in common things
as to enlarge the usefulness of the indi.
yidual, increase the influence of the
home, open new avenues of helpfulness
to all who would help their fellows,
aid those who are seeking how, to bind
up the broken hearts of little children
and those of larger growth, proclaim
liberty to all captive minds and the
opening of self-locked prison doors to
those who are shut therein.
This morning it essays to open the
doors of those self-constructed purga-
tories in which so many shut them
selves up, without light and comfort
and pleasure and peace and hope. 1t
may not do more than suggest pos
sible how, but it will at least point the
way to some tightening of the load that
lies so heavy on many hearts and lives
if it only teaches that the load so griev
ously complained of is self bound upon
the back of the victim. This is only
another form of the oft repeated truism
that the kingdoms of life and death,
of heaven and hell, of peace and pain,
of pleasure and sorrow, are all within.
That it is our own hands that close the
doors of our self instituted purgatories,
and in that closing shut out the light
of comforting thought and the life of
divine hope.
This Efa hoplaT.S close IN tho nm
seen and the unknown that is all
around us, that it is no wonder if its
strangness. it's mystery, its silence, its
fears and its hopes, lie down at our
own hearthstone and refuse to bulge
The inheritance of all our past is an in
heritaDce of doubt or faith, hope or
fear. confidence or distrust in what lies
beyond. Every poet and sage Of all
the ages has voiced this peculiar fact
of our common mental Inheritance.

we are at times tempted to say here
after | will only live but for my home
and family. But only too quickly we
recall those hasty spoken words.
When we realize that our Creator has
given us talents in abundance, and to
spare, so that we need never neglect
any home duties, by being a friend to
those in need thereof. And what
rich reward we receive in expressions
of gratitude from those whose lives
we have aided to be brighter and more
enduTable, cannot be compared to the
possession of wealth.
| know that my greatest pleasure
outside my family circle, is the con-
slant receipt of letters with sincere
expressions of gratitude from those
toward whom l have, as l term it.
Done as l wish to be done by" If
only the world in general could realize
what peaceful calm, joy and satisfac-
ton it brings, to live a life all out of
self, and but for the strife of making
some other life happy, by scattering
sunshine where ever we go. Then
this world of sorrow might be so diff
ferent. There would be less aching
and breaking hearts and instead more
peace and sunshine.
We are led to question, What has
the year just passed brought to us?'
Were our griefs and troubles chroni-
cled and before us, we would be led
to excfaim, "Where is there any
pleasure in lifer' for we would see
naught but disappointed hopes, sac
rifices and bleeding hearts.
How many of us have not been
called on to lay in the cold and silent
tomb, from whence there cometh no
response to the words of endurance,
so tenderly spoken. Those of our
loved ones who were our life and joy,
taking with them all the sunshine
out of our life, and leaving only
broken hearts, which time alone can
heal.
Now. my dear reader hope the CON-
ing year will prove to you more bright
and cheerful. But, let me beg of you
to take it upon yourself with the
coming year. not to live so much for
self, but to try to aid some lonely
cherries one. In so doing you will
find balsam for your wounds and
peaceful calm repose, at your Christ
mas tide of life. When after this life
of toll is spent we lay down the ar
mour and for ever rest.

officer Beck has been called by tele-
phone to arrest. The recorder, always
ready to defend the fair sex, is not a
bit lenient on wife beater and gives
him a % or 50-dollar fine.
Various other cases, too numerous
to. mention, are then called and the
court is over, lasting from thirty min
utes to two hours. Capt. Shardein
then calls the roll of those fined and if
they have the cash they settle up and
go. if not perhaps they are sent out
with an officer to get it and if not then
they are escorted below and locked
up.
Clerk HertZberg then begins to make
out commitments for those sent to
Jail and the spectators begin to file
out again as they entered and the
room is clear except a few bluecoats
and others who have warrants to
swear out for the following day. Mr..
Hertzberg listens to the complaints,
makes out the warrants and turns
them over to Clerk Fitzhenry to be
served and then goes out for a breath
of the fresh air himself and the court
room is once more as quiet as an
Egyptian tomb, the manner in which
it will remain until the following
morning when the same routine, with
