HOUSE BREAKERS.
The Other Houses Were Only Tamperep
With and the Burglars Were
Frightened Off.

There were quite number of attempted
burglars Saturday night and early Sun
day morning, but so far as reported, only
one attempt was successful.
The Third ward seemed to be the
stamping ground of the thieves, and in
the vicinity of Giles and Oak streets was
the principal scene. Some time after
midnight the residence of Miss Sarah
Buck, corner of Oak and Giles streets,
was entered, the intruder getting through
window, after removing a net, A purse
was lying upon the bureau in Miss
Bucks room and this was taken by the
thief, opened and $40 extracted therefrom.
The purse was left upon the window cas-
ing.
The house of Christian Heller, Oak
street, was entered. There was nobody
in the house and the entrance was affected
by raising window leading into the hall.
Nothing was disturbed, so far as can be
ascertained at this time.
About half past one o'clock burglars
attempted to affect an entrance in the
house of John Thomas, Oak street. There
were persons yet in the house, and the
burglars were frightened off. Mr..
Thomas saw the fellows. There were
four of them. They ran down the side
yard and over the back fence The fell
lows were either colored, or had masks
over their faces.
About that time an attempt was made
to pry open window in the residence of
j. Nixon Bodine, corner of Commerce
and Giles street. The attempt was made
at one of the dining room windows,
under the portico. Mr.. Bodine was
awakened by the noise, and his moving
about the house frightened the fellows
off.
Still another unsuccessful attempt was
made to enter the residence of Benjamin
S. Ayars, on Atlantic street. The fellows
were frightened off there

Wednesday Morning.

Everything about the Court room this
morning, indicated special importance.
The crowds were bigger, there were
many lawyers about good many ladies
were in the room, and the Court stenogra-
pher was doing duty.
The Prosecutor indicated when he
moved the first case for the morning. the
cause of the unusual interest. 1t was the
indictment against Richard NJ. Lands.
of Vineland, charged with assault and
battery.
Young lands is son of the we'll
known founder of Vineland, Charles X,
Lands. He is an artist, and has much
that appearance He was abundantly
cared for in his defense, j. L. VanSyckle,
of Atlantic City; Charles Lands, Jr., and
Frank Loughran, being in charge of the
case of the young man.
All Vineland society is interested in
the outcome of the case The people there
have been talking about the assault since
it is alleged that the young artist went up
in the office of Wheaton Berault. the
Vineland lawyer, and pinked him back
of the ear.
Before the jury was sworn Mr.. Lough-
ran made motion to quash the indict-
ment, but stated no grounds, and of
course the motion was over-ruled.
The jury was secured without much
trouble, the state making three challenges
and the defense one.
Lawyer Berault was the first witness
for the state. He said that on the 18th of
last May, Richard Lands came in Ber-
ault's office, accompanied by his brother.
Monte, and young man named Chase.
Lands was very angry and demanded to
know of Berault why he should say that
Lands was vulgar on the stage. Berault
declined to discuss the matter with Lam
dis, but demanded that the young man
should go and get his informant.

something to eat. Something to eat
with him means the bits of flesh left
in the birds nests by the young gap
lings, or, if there is not enough of it
to appease his ravenous appetite and
the mother of a brood is absent, he
will help himself to a nesting. But
woe betide that crab detected by a

through the marauder's brittle shell
and his flesh is distributed among those
very gaplings he had fondly hoped to

Feeding for the Dairy.

It used to be thought that the heifer
calf, because she was intended to be-
come COW rather than fattened for
beef, could be starved and stinted on
almost any kind Of food during it's first
year, and be, perhaps, a better cow
therefor. We do not believe in feeding
calves intended for COWS with food that
has fattening tendency. Skim milk is
much better than whole milk for them,
and wheat bran with some middlings
mixed with it is better diet to make
growth than is corn or other grain. But
it does not pay to starve any calf. It
necessarily weakens the digestive or
gans, which like all others in the body
are strengthened by what they have to
do. If the digestion is injured all other
organs must suffer.

call themselveS-of southern and east

of the early days to the effect that
the natives of this region were giants
averaging nine or ten feet In height.
It is a fact that they are the tallest

averaging but slightly less than six
feet. while individuals of four to six
inches above that mark are not I'M

The American Sailor.

Jacky, who used to be more sailor
than gunner, is now more gunner than
sailor. Just in proportion as he has
ceased to be part of the great engine
on which he lives, so he has come
more and more into the control Of it.
And as the cardinal purpose of war
ship Is to hit things with her projec-
tiles, Jacky has become specialist in
getting that work out of her. He does
it in two places-at the guns and at
the engines. Correctly pointed guns
are of no use, unless the platform on
which they rest is put in proper rela-
ton to the thing to be hit, and kept
there; equally it is useless to get the
ship into proper place unless the guns
are correctly pointed. Men who can
do either of these things must have
to education, and only men of this
sort are eligible for our navy.
Accordingly the ''beach-comber," or
the "rock-scorpion," or any other vari-
ETY. of that ruck of marine refuse
which drifts around the great mari
time ports and ships in any craft
where grub is plenty and work is
light. no longer sings his hammock
on Uncle Sans berth-deck, as he used
to do to the shame of the service in
years gone by. Nor can the tramp,
nor the jail-bird nor even the incorri-
gible black sheep of the family thus
be provided for to the relief Of con-
stables and long suffering relatives.
No man or boy can now pass United
States naval recruiting officer unless
he is clean, healthy, honest, young,
strong and intelligent; nor can he
afterward get that advancement which
is certainly open to him without fear
or favor, unless he continues to show
aptitude and ability.-New York indie

AT EvEN1IDE.

The tired breezes are tucked to rest
In the cloud-beds far away,
The waves are pressed to the placid
breast
Of the cleaning, dreaming bay;
The shore line swims in a hay heat,
Asleep in the sea and sky,
And the muffied beat where the
breakers meet
Is soft, sweet lullaby.
The pine-clad hill has crimson crown
Of glittering sunset CLOVIS,
The roofs of brown in the distant
town
Are bathed in blush of rose;
The radiant ripples shine and shift
In shimmering shreds of gold,
The seaweeds lift and browse and
drift.
And the jellies fill and fold.
The great sun sinks, and the gray fog
heaps
His cloak on the silent sea,
The night-wind creeps where the ocean
sleeps,
And the Wavelets wake in glee;
Across the bay like a silver star
There wrinkles the harbor light,
And faint and far from the outer bar
The sea-birds call ''Good night

Unexplored Bolivia.

The richest parts of Bolivia have
not been surveyed, and there are great
provinces here which are practically
unexplored. There are some sections
which are as unknown as Central Afri
ca, and their inhabitants have as curl
Gus customs as the slvages along the
edges of the Sahara. There is strip
of Bolivia several hundred miles wide
and about five hundred miles long, ly-
ing between this plateau and the
boundary Of Brazil which has re-
sources of great wealth. I have met
men here who have travelled overland
to Paraguay, and the Argentine. They
tell me of vast plains upon which cat
tie feed in herds Of thousands. They
cnn be bought for from 50 to So
head, for there Is no means of getting
them to the markets. AT present
Senior Ballivian tells me there is 4 syn
dictate formed in London to connect
these rich grazing lands With the head
of navigation of some Of the Amazon
branches by means of 4 railway
which will run along the boundary be
tween Brazil and Bolivia, but OH Bra
lillian soil. The road will be on the
line OF a concession granted to Colonel
Church some years ago, and its pur-
pose will be to carry these cheap cat
tie ito the rubber camps of the Anna
zon There are several other impor-
tant projects to build ailroads in Bo-
uvia. One Is to construct line from
La Paz to the Desuaguadero river.
This line would be siXty-five miles
long, and Senior Ballivian says it will
probably be begun this summer. An
other scheme Is to extend the Cen
trail North Argentine railway to Sucre.
This road is now near the Bolivian
border, and it would pass through a
rich cattle grazing, agricultural and
mining territory, and would furnish
an outlet to the Atlantic for Bolivian
products. There are several other
plans for railroads from the Argentine
into Bolivia, and the day will prob
ably come when all of eastern Bolivia
will be opened to settlement.-Frank
G. Carpenter in Atlanta Constitution.

To Keep Butter Cool.

Here is good plan for keeping butter
cool in summer. In the middle of your
cellar floor dig hole or vault three and
one-half feet deep and three and one
half feet square. Wall it up with brick
laid in lime mortar and cement and
floor it with soft brick. Lay frame
of good hard wood in mortar upon the
top of this vault. Hinge to the frame
a trap-door of plank two inches thick,
making it fit smoothly over the top.
Then after the cream is separated and
cooled put it down in the vault to ripen.
Butter may be kept there in the agree
able GOODNESS, also. If you have no
separator, put the cream into your
vault as soon as you have skinned it,
there to cool and ripen. Once or twice
week clear out the vault and wash 1t
thoroughly to prevent its getting
moldy. Pour cold water upon the soft
bricks of the floor. They will absorb
it and cool the air. This is very sue
cessful way to keep milk, butter and
cream cool in hot weather on farms
where there is no ice.-Valley Farmer.

Hereford Cattle.
The animal here shown fs typical
Hereford, from picture printed ia the
Mark Lane Express. This breed is an
old-established one, it being more than
a century since it's founding in Hereford,
England. Early in the present century
it was recognized as valuable beef
breed Records of sales from 1893 to
1911 show that twenty oxen brought
for beef an average of f1OO 6s., or about
$3.50 each. The Herefords and Short
horns were active rivals during those
early days, and the competition be-
tween them is still very close.
In color, the Hereford is red of
varying shade, generally light with
clear white face, white line of greater
or less length along the back. white
brisket, white brush and white feet.
The horns are medium to long, white,
waxy and generally turning outward,
forward, and sometimes downward. In
form they are blocky. square built, with
rather short legs and all meat points
full and rounded The quarters are
heavy, muscular and low down on the
hooks; the ribs well sprung, but round
ed neatly to a long deep barrel. The
head and neck are both short and close
feshed. The whole makeup of the ami
NAL indicates strongly the marked
characteristic of the breed. They are
quite common in Canada and have

Newly CIeare j Land.

If any one wants to know what diff
culties the early settless in wooded Sec
tons had to encountes, let him make a
clearing in some wood Lot and then try
to grow crop among the stumps. He
will break more plow points and har-
rows working this land than the crop
will be worth when grown. But the
early settlers had at least one advant-
age, and that was that their newly
cleared land was free from weeds. In
all the older settled parts of the coun-
try there are many bad weeds among
the trees in the woods, the seeds of
which have been ca FRIED there by birds
