BURGLARS ENTER HOUSE
OF CAPTAIN II. B. MONIES

Burglars early this morning broke
into the residence of Captain II. b..
Nones, No. 1907 Franklin street, but
did not succeed in carrying on any
thing OF value.
As soon as the robbery was discover
ed il was reported TO the police station,
and an officer, accompanied by G. T..
Pierson, with whom Captain Nones
carries a burglar policy, proceeded to
the residence and made an investiga-
ton. IL was found that the robbers
broke open a window on the front
porch. forced the inside shutters and
wrenched of a bar, thus gaining an
entrance. During their operations a
dog was upon the back porch Of the
house, but gave no alarm.
Although the house was ransacked,
and about SIS worth OF damage done TO
the premises, nothing was taken, the
thieves evidently being in search OF
money. A package Of letters was later
found in an unoccupied stable about
800 yards from the house.

ANIANS
IN PORTO RICO
Romantic Story Of the Mar.
riage Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Etnier

When Frederick NJ. PennOck, of Ken
nett Square, went to Porto Rico last
December, his mother who is a White
Ribboner, and other w. c. r. u. ladies,
of that place, wished him to look out
for Mrs. Ruth Shaffner- Etnier, who Is
the president of theWhite Ribbon work
in the West Indies, and is well-known |
throughout Chester county and other
parts of this state as Matron OF the
Carlisle Indian School During her in |
cumbency OF that institution Miss
Shaffner visited the wards in their
homes throughout this locality and
won many friends. Mr.. Pennock, upon
taking up his residence in Porto Rico
forgot the lady's name. One day, upon
visiting Ponce, however, a good look
ing American gentleman edged up to-
him and claimed acquaintance upon the
bond Of nationality, giving his name as
Etnier. Mr.. Pennock cordially welcom-
ed his fellow-native, but still failed TO
remember the lady's name of whom his
mother had spoken. At later period
he again visited Ponce and again met
his American acquaintance. In the
course of their conversation Mr.. Pen
mock asked his friend if he knew any
thing Of a Pennsylvania lady who had
rather suddenly married, and taken up
her residence in the island, where she
was superintendent Of the Women s
Christian Temperance Union, and in
deed, for all he knew, the president Of
1 the entire West Indies for the White
Ribbon cause. The stranger smiled and
said he knew the lady-that she was
his wife. And then Mr. Pennock was
invited to their nice American home.

Swimming in Great Salt Lake.

Robert Bridges, of Boston, tells of ar
Salt Lake of Utah. II was staying al
Salt Lake City with some friends and
one day they invited me to go out tc
Garfield Beach for a swim. After
checking our valuables and donning
our bathing suits we assembled in the
Pavilion and made our way to the
water. Up and down the sides of the
inclosed space were runways leading
to the water, and at each was a card
showing the depth OF the water at that
particular point.
what depth will you go in? asked
my friend, and being a six footer and
gulion also, as it turned out chose
five and half feet and turned off at
that passage. At the end of the run
way steps lead down to the water, and
when l was in waist deep l started of
with vigorous strokes, intending tc
swim up and join my friends. Never
was man treated to greater surprise
lay on top of the water. and as
could get neither feet nor hands down
it was with great difficulty that l made
even the few feet to the landing stairs,
Once there l hastened to rejoin my
party only to be greeted with derisive
jeers and inquiries as to how l enjoy
aJ ic fnn though
for you can lay on your back and
smoke or read as comfortably as wher
in your bed, and it is exhilarating al
SO. The only way to propel yourself is
10 lie on your back and paddle with
your hands Any other mode OF swim
ming fails. We waded out and found
that at about four and a half feet We
could not keen our feet down"

Gather About a Scythe
Stuck in an Apple Tree.

Canal Dover. O., June 6--Tomorrow
will witness most singular anniver-
sary commenoration at Warwick.
north of here.
Thirty-eight years ago young Au-
gustus Bliss, son OF Samuel Bliss,
well-known citizen of Warwick, while
moving hay on his fathers farm, sud
denly resolved to enlist with the North
in the civil strife. Wishing to spare
his mother the pain of parting, and be-
lieving he would come out of the fray
unscathed and return home to be
commended for his bravery, he qulet-
ly hung the scythe on an apple tree
and travelled from home afoot. After
he had enlisted he wrote home to his
mother telling her of his whereabouts
and of his resolve. Letters came
from him regularly from different
points as his regiment maneuvered in
the field, but when the strife was
hottest and victory seemed to wavei
in the balance these missives suddenly
ceased, and since that last letter the
mother received no word has ever
been heard of Augustus Bliss. All
Efforts to find out anything of his
whereabouts have been futile, and if he
was killed in battle it was never as
certained.
The scythe was left hanging in the
boughs Of the apple tree where he had
placed it, Neighbors who knew of the
circumstances looked upon the steel
blade with reverence, but out of def
erence to the mothers wish no one re-
moved it. AS the years passed the
scythe became rusted, and finally the
blade became jmbedded in the grow
,ng wood, until now it is a fixture.
The handle has crumbled away, but
the blade still remains. The parents
)f the missing soldier boy have long
since passed to their reward. but his
relatives yet gather about the rusted
blade on every anniversary in silent
commemoration of the soldier boys
call to arms from which he pever re-
turned.
