Stole AIdrlch's Dog.

HID. Aldrich has favorite pet dog,
and the dog and the youngster who trots
about the station are great friends. Mr..
Aldrich doesn't care to lose this particular
dog not SO much because OF its intrinsic
value, but because it is faithful compan-
ion to the young hopeful. So it is only
natural that when a passenger attempted
to purloin the dog last Saturday, Mr.. AID
rich entered an emphatic protest. 1t was
Just as the B. & M. flyer north was pulling
out; the dog was on the platform and one
Of the passengers grabbed him and hustled
him into the smoker. Walter Rogers was
standing near by and, noticing the slight OF
hand performance, notified Mr.. Aldricf
who telephoned Charlestown. The dog
was taken off at that station and returned
but the magician who bagged him was al
lowed to roam at large.

store of w. H. Bodine & Co. The plank
however did not come within four or five
feet Of the caves, yet Mr.. Thompson thinks
that the thieves must have climbed up il
onto the roof where they could easily gel
at Mr.. Davis rear window. This window
was unlocked and was pushed up easily.
The thieves got inside but all that was mis-
sing was dollar in five cent pieces and
pennies taken from the money drawer.
They evidently had been frightened away
when Thompson first made his call at the
front door.
Further investigation showed that one
pane in basement window under Durham
Bros. shoe store had been broken and a
futile attempt made to raise the window.
Mr.. Davis theory is that his visitors were
not after his goods at all, but had Interior
designs on Keefe's stock of shoes, a door
between the rear of the two stores being
unlocked and the way unimpeded. How
ever that may be he has now put iron net
ting over both rear windows and says he
intends to bother them little next time
no matter what they want. Had pane of
glass in the door under Durham Bros.
store been broken, the bolt could have
been slipped and the store entered very
easily this leads Mr.. Durham to believe
that the thieves did not know the lay of the
land.
Chief Thompson has no clue as to whom
the guilty parties are but has expressed the
opinion that they were tramps.

The TIMES as an Adve Rising Medium.

A newspaper which makes any claim to
being a profitable advertising medium
must keep up continual hustle. A good
circulation, and that circulation among the
buying classes is Of prime Importance. A
circulation among dead beats who never
expect to pay for the paper they receive is
of very little advantage to an advertiser /;
he can give away his goods to this class
the same as publisher can his newspaper
but business done on that basis doesn't pay
the coal bill or buy the baby playthings.
1t is the people who buy and pay cash
whom the advertiser desires to reach.
Now for specific application of these
general principles. The TIMES poses
as desirable advertising medium; it has
all the circulation it claims to have; and it
circulates only in families who are willing
to pay for what they get. At regular in
tervals the publisher has the unpleasant
duty Of revising his list; those who after
proper urging refuse or neglect to settle
are stricken from the roll and the accounts
placed for collection. This means a small
but continuous shrinkage. Papers which
adopt the policy OF never taking a name
from the list unless a shot gun is brought
into play are not troubled by this class in
the least. To offset this sbrinkage new
names must be secured. Last summer the
TINES had canvasser on the road and
about 275 new names were put on the list
at that time; there is also a canvasser on
the road at the present time, and in the
last three weeks he has added about 80
new names. Keeping large list and a
paying list costs the publisher good hard
money, but it is the only way in which an
advertiser can be given the best service.
The publisher is frequently the blushing
recipient Of pretty compliments from the
advertising patrons of the paper. One OF

Consumption Acquired from Drinking Mil


A striking article in the current number
of the Nineteenth Century discusses the
conditions under which tuberculosis or con-
sumption may be conveyed from cattle to
man. The writer, James Long, who is an
authority upon the subject, does not hest
tate to express the opinion that, in the
United Kingdom, more lives annually are
lost through drinking tuberculosis milk
than would be sacrificed in war with a
fl. st-class power.
1t appears that in 1895 the Royal Com
mission on tuberculosis, which has been
|reappointed by the present government,
issued report to the following effect
First, consumption in man is probably &C.
quired from animal food in an appreciable
degree; secondly, milk containing tuber
culosis matter is responsible to larger ex
tent than is the meat of tuberculosis ami
NAL for the appearance of tuberculosis il
man; thirdly, the tubercle bacilli are ex
tremely active in the case of animals o.
human beings fed upon milk in which they
are present; finally, inasmuch as the con
sumption of unboiled or unsterilized mill
is attended with risk, the commission rec
commended that all milk should be boiled
especially where it is consumed in larg
quantities. That is a precaution which tn
individual consumer Of milk may take o.
his own account. OF course it behoove
the community on its part to provide 70
the systematic inspection of cattle, and to
the slaughter of all animals shown to b
infected with the disease.-New York Sur

the latest was from A. F. Winnewisser Of
the New York Racket. who said that they
had found by experience that the best
medium they could use was the columns Of
the TIMES. He said they heard from their
advertising and heard from it every day
in the week. OF course where an adver-
tiser hears nothing from his advertising
something is wrong; the fault, however, is
not always with the me,tium; it is barely
possible that the advertiser does not know
how to use his space to the best advantage.

Liberal Pension Policy.

The administration has adopted liberal
policy in pensions. In his first annual re-
port Commissioner of Pensions II. Clay
Evans says that there were added to the
rolls during the year the names of SO, 101
new pensioners and there were restored to
the rolls 2971 pensioners who had been
previously dropped, total of 54,O72.
During the same period the losses to the
roll we're 81, $50 by death, 1914 by remar-
riage of widows and mothers, 1916 by
legal limitation (minors), 1858 for failure
to claim pension for three years, and $500
for other causes, an aggregate of Al, 1922.
The whole number of pensioners on the
rolls June 80, 1897, was 976,O14 The
net gain over the previous year was 1886.
1t will thus be seen that the pension roll
has not yet begun to show any diminution.
Seven widows of revolutionary soldiers
and nine daughters of revolutionary SOL
diers are still on the rolls. During the
year 4,454 pension certificates were is
sued. of which number so, 101 were origi-
nal allowance and the balance we're reis-
sues, increases, reservations, renewals,
etc. Of this number 1851 certificates of
various classes were held in this bureau un-
til July l, 1897, and are accordingly not
credited to the past fiscal year. During
the same period 1924 claims of various
classes were disallowed.
The amount disbursed for pensions dur
ing the year was $139, 799,242 IL and the
amount disbursed by treasury settlement
was $150,47 %, total Of $1,000
717.35. This exceeds the amount dis
bursed during the fiscal year 1896 by the
sum of 81 1854, 480 IS. The appropria-
ton for the payments of pensions for the
fiscal year 1897 was only $4,000, 900.
The average annual value of each pension
at the close Of the year was $133 II. The
average annual value of each pension un-

1. O. q. +. Anniversary.

The 18th anniversary OF Odd Fellow
ship was jointly observed by the men,
bers Of Aberdeen Lodge No. 35 and
Evergreen Rebekah Lodge No. %, of
this city, last Monday night. at their
hall. The seating capacity of the hall
was filled with members of the order,
their families and invited friends, who
were entertained for an hour and half
with a very pleasing program of literary
and musical exercises.
Mrs. J. NJ. Walker opened the exer.
cises with a few appropriate and interest
ing remarks concerning the inception
and growth OF Odd Fellowship, and the
grand work accomplished by and through
the numerous lodges. A vocal quartette,
composed OF Misses Mamie Covington
Mollie McKinnon, and Messrs. Jose ph
Graham and Keegan, sang in delight
full manner; and little Jennie Anderson's
recitation created an uproar of laughter
and applause. Mrs. Daniel Gillies in
terested her auditors for few minutes
eloquently portraying the principles and
ojects Of Odd Fellowship, and the duties
of members. This part OF the program
closed with comedy-farce in three acts,
entitled "A Country Cousin" which was
a most creditable production OF that
mirth-provoking piece. Refreshments
consisting of coffee, sandwiches, ice
cream and cake were served, after par
taking OF which those who wished re-
paired to Mtchell's hall and further en-
joyed themselves dancing until 2 a. m.
