TWO YOUTHFUL THIEVES.
Stole n Horse and buggy and
Loaded 1t With Food.


When N r Welch went into the hay
market Saturday to transact some Susi-
ness he left his morse and buggy stand
ing outside. When he returned he dis
covered they were missing, and he
promptly reported his loss to the police.
Yesterday morning Detective Muller re-
covered the property and arrested two
little colored boys. Benjamin veni and
Isaac Williams, aged eleven anl twe.ve
years, respectively, and locked them up
at the Sixth Precinct Station. charged
with the theft. The lads admitted steal
ing the horse and buggy, and laid they
had both served workhouse sentences b.
fore. They also told an interesting sto. y
about their theft.
1t seems that they climbed into the
buggy at the hay market and drove off
to Georgetown for a ride. After spending
about an hour in driving aimlessly about
they returned by way of Pennsylvania
Avenue to Ninteenth Street. where the,
found a grocery wagon belonging to VIII
liam T. Reed standing in front of his
grocery store.
From the wagon the boys transferred q
box containing chickens, crackers celery
butter, eggs, etc, to the buggy. Loaded
with this plunder they drove over the
Long Bridge, where they unhitched the
horse and tied it in the woods They then
proceeded to establish camp and cook
and eat their ill-eotten dinner.
When night fell they climbed into the
buggy and slept. Yesterday morning
they attempted to sell the horse and
buggy, and by so doing attracted the at
tention of Constable Bates who took the
youthful thieves in charge and notified
police headquarters.
Detective Muller went over after them
and found them bound together back to
back with several yards of rope and
locked up in a vacant house with the
constable on guard. The boys will be
arraigned in court this morning.

BARGAIN HUNTING.
A Husband Who Has Pecome n Con-
vert From Experience.

(From the Chicago Post.)
81 am a convert to the bargain-hunt-
ing habit he said reflectively. Here
tofore l have been a scoffer. have
been inclined to make fun of womankind
for their barga!n-hunting proclivities,
but I am convinced now that 1t Is moth
ing but woman's indefatigable search
for bargains that keeps us all out OF the
poorhouse. If she went about her shop
ping in the hlt-or-miss style so popular
with men, we either wouldn't live so
well or else we would go into bankrupt
cy.
"It happened this way: It was just
about the finish of the bathing season
when I was notified by my wife that my
two little girls would have to have bath
ing suits. They had been invited to go
somewhere where there was bathing and
of course the suits had to be forthcom-
ing.
Its the end of the season. my wife
told me, so you can get them cheap. and
If you are careful to get them large
enough they will do for next summer
TOO
That's the woman Of 1t, isn't it.?
Get them while they're cheap, and get
them large enough for next year Regu-
TAR bargain-hunting idea. But I don't
laugh at barga!n-hunt!ng any more
encourage it.
We'll, my wife even went so far as to
tell me how much l ought to pay for
them. and it's good thing she did 9th
erwise they would have cost me over 100
per cent in excess of what I finally had to
pay. After her figures the price they
gave me at the first store ! went to nearly
took my breath away, but If It hadn't been
for her figures l would have taken the
suits at that price. i really didn't think
1 would get them any cheaper anywhere
else. but I was afraid to go home without
trying AT the next place the price was
even higher. and began to think mean
things about my wife. because she had
got me trotting all over town on FOOLS
errand but I decided to try once more
The price this time was just between the
two previously quoted to me and it made
me sort of hot. .l.-
But I'll play the game out said to
myself. She knows so blamed much
about bathing suits that, I'll just have to
| take her down peg or two. I'll go the
| limit, so she can't say haven't tried and
then I'll get the first suit that comes ham
dy and go home and tell her what I think
| of her shopping theories and methods
But ! didn't. Well. hardly. I went tn
| two more places, and in the second I
found just what I wanted at a price a
few cents cheaper than she had given
me and nearly 60 per cent cheaper t an
any suits had previously been quoted to
me- In other words. I got both of the
suits for less than the cost of one n any
OF the other places, And when told her
| about it, what do you think she said?
She just laughed in that aggravatine
feminine way. and said: Why. of coui Sc
dear. That often happens. Sometimes
there is nothing saved. sometimes there is
a little, and sometimes. as in this case, II
is SO per cent or more. It's a chance
you know, and it really gets to be quite
| exciting
"A chancei That explains the fasoina-
ton. It's like gambling game. But. as
l said before, l shall no longer laugh al
my wife because of it. On the contrary,
pray that she may win always"

GRIN RELICS OF THE WAR.
Some Interesting Ones Displayed al
the NAVY Department.

The reception room adjoining Secretary
Longs office in the Navy Department is
being converted into a trophy room.
already several grim relics of the war
with Spain have been placed on exhibi-
tion in the apartment. Yesterday work
men moved into this handsomely fitted
out apartment large Spanish flag and
streamer nearly forty feet in length,
which were captured from the Spanish
armed steamer SantO Domingo by the
United States steamer Eagle, commanded
by Lieut. W. II. Switzerland. Also a one
pounGer brass muzzie-loading howitzer
from the Santo Domingo, which was used
for sa!uting and signal purposes.
The Spanish steamer was armed with
heavy guns, all loaded, and could have
almost blown the Eagle out of water had
the Spaniards remained at their posts.
Instead of doing this, however, they fled
upon the approach of the American YES
sci and the Santo Domingo, which had
been beached by her commander, was
burned by order of Lieut.. Switzerland.
The large flag taken from this Spanish
armed steamer is almost new 1t has the
imperial insignia of Spain in its center,
is composed of red and yellow stripes and
is inscribed in large letters. &c. NJ
which means that the Santo Domingo
was originally a subsidized mail vessel.
Recently a relic hunting official of the
Navy Department surreptitiously clipped
a large piece from the official Spanish
flag of the city of Manila. To deter other
relic hunters from repeating this act
with the flag of the Santo Domingo, a
placard has been attached to it. This
reads:
Five thousand dollars fine or ten
years imprisonment for mutilating this
flag
OF course there is no such excessive
punishment provided for acts of vandalism
of this character, but ii is believed the
| placard will have the desired effect.
a number of trophies have been sent to
the bureau of navigation by Constructor
Hobson from the ships of Cervera's de-
stroyed squadron, and these are being
placed in the trophy room. They include
bust of Columbus, from the cabin of
the Cristobal Colon, gun rivets and mast
lantern from the Vizcaya and ordnance
fittings from the Maria Teresa and the
other sunken Spanish ships. In this room
| there is also a handsomely framed tribute
| with verse and illustrations, bearing this
| inscription: Presented to Rear Admiral
| George Dewey by the Young Mems Busi-
| ness Club of Cincinnati, as n token of
! their admiration for the magnificent
ability and great bravery displayed by
| him In the planning and execution of the
| battle of Manila Bay eliminating in the
| glorious victory which startled the world,
| proving that American officers of the
army and navy are unexcelled."

fail to mention. The Republican boss endeav-

A Child's Disposition

May be ruined through existing defects IN
eyesight Children are often called dull and
stupid by teachers and parents through no
fault or their own. Perhaps born with
defect in sight, they don't know of any differ
ent world from that which they see through
defective eyes. Mark any peculiarit1es that
children may have in looking at objects at a
distance or near by. Squirting, froWn1ng,
looking sidewise, with partially closed eyes
are indications of eye troubles. Better be
over cautious in having g child's eyes
examined than to take too much responsible
ity into your own hands. Examination free.
CHILDREN'S EYES
Should have careful attention. They
should be examined at the first complaint by
a reliable optician-especially while the
child is in school.
A little care at the proher time may save
them untold misery and heir parents much
remorse A defect that may be easily
remedied NOW might prove difficult LATER.
