Pretty Christmas Gifts That Have O
Use of Their Own.

Nothing is more annoying in a small
way than to try to rest in room where
there is bright light. One may some.
times wish to remain in the family cir
Gle without sharing in the general en-
ployment Of reading or sewing, and it is
often pleasant to be where one can join
in the conversation and yet rest ones
tired eyes in obscurity A little lamp
screen for the table is then very useful,

and it is also serviceable in the sick
room, where light is necessary, but is
nevertheless troublesome to the invalid.
One of the screens Illustrated is made
Of three panels Of heavy strawboard, tall
enough to conceal the lamp. Upon each
side of the panels is pasted some sort of
decorative paper-wall paper of pretty
design will do, but better idea is to
use sections of narrow Japanese paper

fair on the first and excellent on the last
occasion, while Its enthusiastic good will
could never have been doubted for an

heartily applauded and in most cases en-

from the classic authors. while all alike

ALLEGED HARNESS rzzyzs.
Policeman WsRreA Locates MaAy Q
the Missing Articles.

Policeman WaxreA Lceates Many Of
the Missing Articles.
Policeman Warren. by q clever piece OF
detective work. has succeeded in arrest
ing three alleged harness thieves who
have made several raids on the stables
in Washington during the course of the
last two weeks, and has been able through
the confession OF one of their number
to locate nearly all Of the stolen goods.
When the policeman was coming on duty
Thursday afternoon he saw a colored
man in the neighborhood of Center Mar
ket, who was trying to dispose of several
sets OF harness which he had in q wagon.
The man had accosted a number Of
farmers and had sold two sets of harness
before the policeman saw him, and 1t is
said that he afterward stole one Of them
from the man to whom he had sold 1t.
Warren Immediately placed the man un-
der arrest and locked him up at No. /
station, where he gave his name as
George Waller. After being In the sta
ton for some time Waller weakened, and
is alleged to have told the police that
he and two friends had been stealing
harness for two weeks, and had succeed
ed IN getting about nfteen sets, all OF
which had been sold except the two that
were in the wagon at the time of his ar
rest.
The names OF his companions, he said.
were Isaiah Bell and Bruce Berkley. They
were found and arrested. The task of
locating the stolen property was a hard
one, but with the assistance of Waller
the police have been able to find eleven of
the fifteen, together with a horse collar
and a buggy cushion, which the thieves
had taken from the stable of Sergt. Dun
nington. of the Fourth precinct.
Many of the persons who lost the prop
erty did not know 1t was gone, as Wal
Ter and his confederates were shrewd
enough to confine their depredations to
the stables of persons keeping their horses
in the country during the summer.
William c. Mcintyre at No. 1881 Rhode
Island Avenue, lost three sets of harness,
which were recovered.
Sergt. Huntington identified the buggy
cushion and collar, neither of which were
known to be out of the stable. Waller
said that he had sold two sets of harness
to farmer at the market a few days
before his arrest, and that he had after
ward found one of them in Sullivans
stable, and had stolen it again and sold
it to another farmer.
