THEY POPPED" THE DOG.
Enterprising Burglars Overcame a Canine
Guard With ChlorOfOrm.


Guard With ChlorOform.
Burglars effected an entrance into j.
II. Mersman's hardware store in Mill
dale, o., OH recent night in novel
manner. A big watch dog is left in
the store every night TO guard the prem
ises, and this was known to the bur-
glars, who adopted scheme which is
likely to become popular.
One of the burglars soaked hand
kerchief with chloroform, and tying it
to string attached to stick opened
the window. The noise attracted the
dogs attention, and it made spring
for the window. The burglar then low
cred the handkerchief, which was at
once seized by the dog, who proceeded
to make short work of it.
In IA few moments the animal sank
to the floor, overcome by the anesthetic,
and minute or two later the burglars
entered and succeeded in looting the
store of everything they could conven-
iently carry.
The dog was found the next morning
by the proprietor. 1t was still in half
conscious condition. About $3.50 worth

AT WARTIME PRICES.
A Country store In Which Nothing II
Ever sold.

In cambridge, Geauga county, o.,
not far from Cleveland is the queerest
country general store that could well be
imagined Bainbridge is a small ham,
/ let, but the store is as large and rs well
stocked as the average suburban estab-
lishment of that sort.
IL is kept-that is precisely the word
for it-by an old widower who has no
relatives in that section of the country
and is practically hermit When the
civil war began, he was running -four
,shing general store in cambridge and
made money rapidly during the sue
ceeding four years.
When peace was declared, prices,
which had been greatly inflated, took a
sudden drop The old fellow believed
that this would be followed by boom
which would send prices skyward again
and refused TO sell his goods for less
than he paid foI them. Down went the |
prices-down, down, down-and final
ly he was forced to close his store for
want of purchasers.
Today his store stands almost exactly
as it did 80 years ago 1t is stocked
with such goods as are usually found
in country stores, but, of course, the
stock is now practically worthless.
Every day the old man opens up the
place TO give il ~ airing He is there,
too, for business, if any one chooses 10
buy what he has TO sell and is willing to
pay what he asks
why, sir, he said 10 a curious Wis
tor, some of the calico I've got here
'ost me 60 cents yard in 1867. Would
Tot be fool to sell it for . cents:"-

WITH Ak AND CLUB.
Brothers Fight Furious Duel In the

Armed with AK and club, Thomas and
Peter Smith, brothers, of New York,
fought desperate battle on the dock at

the respective merits of the Seventh
regiment and the Sixty-ninth

Thirty third street, while Peter resides
in East Thirty second street. Both had

by chance on the dock and discussed the
fighting qualities Of their favorite regi.
ments.

Sixty ninth is a terrier regiment, even
If he is my own brother" declared
Peter.
Then the fight began. Each man dis
carded his hat and coat and looked
about for weapon. Thomas found the
AK, while his brother seized the club.
Thomas landed first with a hard blow
on Peters head and for the next five
minutes the fight was fast and furious
A crowd gathered, and though the
combatants were repeatedly wounded it
encouraged them to continue the duel.
1t looked as though one or both of the
men would be killed, but a policeman
arrived and stopped the fight.
The men were so badly cut that it
was necessary for an ambulance sur
geon, who had been summoned, to take
them to Bellevue. After their injuries
had been dressed the combatants were
locked mp in a police station.

Among the latest inventions is a time
lock for tobacco boxes Whether this
will prove acceptable to smokers is a

has been TO construct tobacco box
which will enable inordlnate chewers or
smokers to limit the use of tobacco bv
causing them to wait the lapse of pre-
determined interval of time before they
can take fresh chew or fill their pipe
