Police on the Lookout.

Early this morning Inspector Holm
berger received word from the Rockville
authorities that the crime had been COM
mitted. The Only information received was
that five men had assaulted and robbed a
citizen of the county, and the person who
transmitted the message could not tell
Whether the men were white or colored
About noon, however, a second message
was received, giving full details of the
horrible crime, and stating that five white
men were implicated in 1t. No descrip-
tions of the men were given. AS soon as
Inspector Hollinberger learned of the at
fair he notified the several police precincts
to look out for suspicious white men, and
some arrests may follow. Recently the
police have made several arrests of strang-
ers found about here, especially in the
county along the line of the railroad lead
ing toward Rockville. If tramps committed
the crime the police think they have come
this way, and possibly spent the night in
q box car or on the outskirts of the city.
The police on duty in the county are max
ing thorough search this afternoon. Any
white tramps or suspicious persons whom
they may flnd will be arrested.

An Uulucky Helmet.

A curious circumstance was connect
ed with Younghusband's death. After
the battle Of Cawnpore he had pur-
chased at auction a very smart helmet,
which had been the property of Lieut..
Salmond Of the Gwallor cavalry, who
had been killed at Cawnpore. This
helmet good deal excited my envy
and admiration, as had not possessed
a decent head-dress since the muting
began. had asked friend to buy it
for me at the auction of Salmond's
effects. But poor Younghusband out
bid him. At his sale was again out
bid, and the helmet fell to the nod of
Lieut.. Havelock, nephew of the gen.
eral. He. too, was killed while wear
ing it, and rumor subsequently said a
fourth officer had bought it and had
bee>l killed. 1t was a strange coinci-
dence, and as these deaths occurred
quickly one after the other, ceased to
wish l had been it's possessor.-Gen.
Sir Hugh Golf, in Old Memories.

TODD nat against

her behind her and stood nat against
the wall, trying to protect us.
God help you children" said she.
Goodbye"
The bear growled again and took
step towards us, and at that moment
In at the open window came the queer
est thing-King Edwards head, his
long ears thrust through the holes in
the sunbonnet. the ribbons tied in
bow under his chin, his mouth opened,
staring at the bear through his white
eyelashes and braying as he had never
brayed before. The white cape OF the
sunbonnet flarped and rustled, the roar
of his voice filled the room, and that
bear! Well. children, anything an AMI
NAL has never seen before is sure to
scare 1t, and such a sight as Ned was
at that minute, nothing to be seen OF
him but his head, and such voice as
the Lord gave him for that occasion,
no bear surely ever heard before. There
have been folks that have said exag-
gerated this story, but I'm giving you
facts, children, when tell you that
when King Edward brayed that bear
dropped down on his forelegs, turned
tail and waddled out of the door as fast
as his feet could carry him, and of to
the woods. King Edward, in his sun
bonnet, kicking up his heels and bray
ing over the fence at him all the way.
AS for Miss Mills, as soon as she
could get her breath again she made
us all 60 down on our knees and say
our prayers. and then gave us a half
holiday and got the nearest farmer to
take us all home in his great wagon.
Little Fannie told her mother that
an angel with white wings looked into
the window and told the bear to go
home, and we couldn't laugh at her,
for If that donkey wasn't an angel he
had been. one to us, and after that we
were all fonder> Of him than ever.

Raising Chickens by the Incubator.

man to another: as they met on the
public highway one afternoon, II
suppose you know about his incubator
experience. lie invested in one that
held about six hundred eggs, filled the
trays with what he confidently hoped
would prove to be broilers and roasters
of the most delicious description. At
ter watching the III ,rm 7Eleter with the
utmost care for five or six days, he got
little tired of it, as he seems to tire
of everything, and, consoling himself
with the reflection that the incubator
would probably get along all right, he
went out driving and stayed away for
several hours. When he returned the
heat had run up to a cooking point,
end most of the poor little possibilities
were beautifully cooked and done.
And the most astonishing part of the
entire performance was that he treat
ed the accident more like huge joke
than anything else. Three times last
spring he filled that incubator, and
each time the heat ran up until al
most all of the eggs were spoiled. Out
of eighteen hundred eggs there were
less than one hundred chickens that
grew to broiler age. 1t is just such
management as this that gives so
many small industries bad reputa-
ton. To succeed requires vigilance

Porcine Curiosity.

The ugly animal, the wart hog, is a
rare curiosity in this part of the world,
but in East Africa and Somaliland,
where his foot is on it's native heath,
he is thought as worthy an object of
the chase as is the good gray boar of
India.
Those who have hunted him with
the spear say he gives as good run,
answers to the spear with charge
as reckless and fights as gamely when
brought to bay as his relative, the
boar. Unlike other members of the
pig family, the female is endowed with
tusks as formidable as those of her
mate.
Regarded from an aesthetic point OF
view the wart hog is one of natures
least happy efforts, but he, at least, is a

Gibraltar to St. Petersburg.
Europe will soon have an overland
express, which, while not travelling
quite as long a distance as some trains
in America, will nevertheless cover
quite a good stretch of road. The
Southern express, which runs twice
week between Paris and Madrid, and,
upon two other days, from Paris to
Lisbon, will be made daily train and,
running through Madrid, will continue
on to Gibraltar. The distance from
Berlin to Gibraltar, little over 1000
miles, will then be covered in seventy
hours. 1t is now proposed to connect
the so-called Northern express, which
travels between Paris and St. Peters
burg, with the Southern train, so that
there will be an uninterrupted over
land line from Gibraltar to st. Peters
burg, 4 distance of more than 5000
miles, which it is proposed to cover in
less than four days. This would be
the first attempt to rival the great
