board at the far end of the room, and
after we had stood there en- tableau for
a moment the fellow made a rush at
me. ! leaped back into the hall and
glared around for n weapon. On ta-
bic near by were n dozen lncandescent
light bulbs, which had brought home
to replace some that had burned out,
and purely by instinct grabbed one Of
them and threw It at the burglar. 1t
hit the door casing close to his head
and. to my amazement, exploded with
a noise like young lyddite shell.
II suppose 1t was q still greater sur
prise to the other fellow. for he let out
a yell and broke for the fear, followed
by rapid fire bombardment Of 10 can
die power incandcscents, which l con-
tinued to chuck ut him as long as he
remained in range. They smashed
against the furniture with a series OF
crashes that alarmed the whole neigh

It Lacked Finish ana Got Himself
and Thief Into Trouble.
A Paris correspondent tells an inter
esting story OF how a shop thief was
captured recently at the Bon Marche
In circumstances that in all probability
are unique. One OF the private detect.
ives In the pay Of the establishment
noticed a man who, with the most
barefnced effrontery, was appropriate
Ing articles Of every description. The
Individual indeed seemed TO make lit
tie or no attempt to keep his operations
secret He simply walked from coun-
ter to counter and nlled his pockets
with whatever attracted his fancy.
In spite OF the strangeness of the
mans proceedings there was nothing
to be done but to have him arrested,
and he was given into custody. His In
dignation was extreme. Ho protested
that It was most unjust that he should
be interfered with In this way when
other people who were behaving In ex-
actly the same manner were left un-
molested, and he pointed TO a stout
gentleman OF most respectable appear
ance who he asserted had been lay
ing his hands on all sorts Of goods
without resortlng to the formallty Of
paying for them.
The policeman to whom he had been
given In charge had been accustomed
to listening to nnconvincing explana-
tions and took his prisoner to the sta
ton. A few minutes later the stout
gentleman, also In the care of a police
man, arrived at the same destination.
The detective, whose curiosity had
been aroused, had watched the per-
sonage and had found II to be true that
he wns perpetrating theft after theft
with the utmost dexterity.
After a short investigation he was
recognized to be an expert and notori-
GUS shoplifter. whereas the prisoner
first arrested proved to be a lunatic
but recently discharged from an asy-
lum, whose mania took the form Of
initiating any person who might hap
pen to strike him. The professional
thief was beside himself with rage at
what he described as the bad luck of
getting into trouble through the vaga-
ries of mailman.

Questions
 fOr Women

If you were offered sure aid in time of trouble would you put it aside and accept something of doubtful efficiency?
 If you saw before you strong and safe bridge leading to your goal, would you ignore it to try some insecure and tottering structure?
 The answer to these questions is plain. You would, of course, choose without hesitation what all evidence showed to be the safe thing, and you would risk nothing ill useless eXperi- ments.
 Why, then, do some women risk one of their most precious possessions their health-in trying medicines of unknown value, which may even prove hurtful to them?
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound has stood the test of years. 1t has the largest sale of any remedy for female ills in the world, and nothing could have given it this sale except its own merit.
 Do not try any experiments. but buy what is known to be reliable. Mrs. Pinkham's Compound can do all that is claimed for it, and all statements in regard to it can be easily verified. Write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn. Mass, for little book she has just published containing letters from the mayor of Lynn. the postmaster and others.
 Mrs. Pinkham's advice is offered free of charge to all women who write to her for aid. This invitation is con stantly renewed. A million women have been cured of serious female ills by Mrs. PinllhamS S advice and medicine.
