GETS BUT LITTLE
BOLD ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY
EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING.

Mr.. 8. L. Hersey. Living 1t the Corner 81
Seventesuth and Lavrsnce, Has Hia
Trousers stolen Ont Of His Bedroom
window-He Loses . Purse Containing
Home Entered and Gives Chase to the
Thief, Who Fired Shot at Him-Un-
successful Attempt.
Yesterday morning there were two at
tempts at burglary in the north part OF
town, one Of them being successful. Mr..
S. L. Hersey had his trousers pulled out
OF the window OF his sleeping room and
a purse containing about six dollars was
stolen. Mr.. Hensey lives at the corner OF
Lawrence and Seventeenth street. He
had the window OF his bedroom open and
near the window on a chair was his
pants. There was mosquito bar net
ting across the window, which the thief
tore off, enabling him to reach in and
get the pants. They were found later in
the morning in the yard.
At about o'clock Mr.. B. E. Kies was
aHdheIpcU ny d uOlbe WHICH ne ucdlu
his room. He was only about half
awake and did not pay much attention
to it. Looking toward his window he
sawthe form of a man standing in the
light. He ask him what ne wanted. al
the same time jumping out Of bed. The
thief took TO his heels, with Mr.. kies af-
ter him. Mr.. Kies only went az far as
his gate. while the thief ran down the
road. The thief turned and fired shot
at Mr.. kies, presumably TO let him know
he was armed. Mr.. Kies had left all the
windows and doors open and all that OBJ
structed the burglar was screen door.
This he opened and walked in. which
probably awoke Mr.. Kies. On the head
Of the bed Mr.. Kies had left his trousers,
in which was gold watch. twenty dol
lars in bills besides some checks. The
thief got away but the officers are on the
lookout for him. 1t is likely he has left
town.

engine to resume pumping, and making it possible for another to keep up steam. Two of the crews of the fire engines re- fused the proffers of coal, saying 1t was useless, as they were short of water The following remarkable incident is also described: When one of the en- zines arrived opposite Herring & Co.'S warehouse an employe of the firm showed the flremen a hydrant, but they would not try it, saying 1t was one of the electric company's "bores,' After a futile search along the street the fire men returned to the place opposite Her ring & Co.'s warehouse, and found that the alleged 'bore" was really a hy- drant.
 If a fire department managed in this way is the best in the world it is time the world walked up. If 1t doesn't it will soon burn up.

They were out but five minutes, and came back with verdict acquitting both the countess and her lover.
 The judges had no remarks to make upon the verdict in the criminal case, but, to save the honor of France and the majesty of French law, they gave civil damages against Briand and the countess In the sum of twenty cents each. Thus were the Oppenheims salved and the law avenged. The two lovers left the court arm in arm amid applause from the spectators benches
 Two days afterward nine of the members of this jury were on another jury in the same court. case of pet ty larceny came up. A man had stolen thirteen dollars. There was no defence, but plea for clemency was put in be- cause the mans wife had three weeks old baby and was dependent upon her husband for food. The man was convicted and sent to prison for two months.--New York Sun.

QUEENS WOE.

IS there any young woman among
 our readers who would not be a queen? Of course all the young women of this region are queens, but we mean a real,
 royal, sure-enough queen such as lives
 in palace, or several palaces, has
 maids of honor and courtiers, wears trailing dresses most of the time, and
 gracefully acknowledges the homage of her beloved subjects when she rides out in the state coach. It is generally con- sidered fine thing to be queen in these days, when it is not the fashion to cut off queens heads, and if we should print an advertisement reading Wanted, a young woman to sit on an old throne and queen it,'' there would
 be piles of answers from those who
 would like such job. But, sad to say,
 there is usually a fly in the ointment,
 and what has just happened to young
 Queen Wilhelnlina of Holland is so sad and so disappointing to her that its
 recital will do much to reconcile many I of the young queens of this region to their free and glorious though com paratively humble lot. Queen Wilhel- nina is one of the liveliest young women of royal blood, and she has 1 just as good a time as she can. A large part of her fun has consisted in riding a bicycle and talking about it with
 those of her companions who ride bicy- cles of the same make as hers or of a different make. But there is to be no more fun of that kind for her. and
