How a Burglar Made Girl Hold a
Lamp for Him.

How a Burglar Made a Girl Hold
Lamp for Him.
Julia Leonard, a little girl OF IA
years, who lives in Baltimore, had
remarkable experience with a negro
robber the other night, and is consid-
cred very fortunate TO have escaped
serious harm. The story as told by
the little girl is an exciting one, and
her experience would have tried the
nerves of a grown woman. Although
greatly frightened at the time. the
child had completely recovered. and
spoke of the affair in q bright. clear
manner, giving a thorough description
Of the man.
The robbery occurred at the home
of Mr.. James White 1407 Jackson
street, South Baltimore. Both Mr..
White and his wife had gone out for
the evening. and little Julia Leonard.
a sister of Mrs White, had been left
in the house to keep things straight.
Although Ia years of age, the little
girl does not look to be over 12, and
she was easily intimidated by the in
truder. The man made his appear
ance at the front door Just before
o'clock. He said he had been sent by
the landlord to fix the bathtub, and
Julia told him he would have to come
another time, as her sister was out.
The man then thrust her aside. and.
entering, closed the door behind him.
He spoke harshly TO her and went up
the steps to the second floor. From
his position there he coulu look down
and see the girl in the kitchen, and
she was afraid to run or make an out
Try. After rumaging around for
awhile he evidently found that il was
too dark to work properly, and, com
ing downstairs, he ordered her to take
up the lamp on the table and follow
him. She was too much frightened to
disobey, and held the lamp while he
ransacked the entire second story.
After a thorough inspection he en-
tered the second room, and, after ex-
amining a either, a stuffed canary
bird, which he removed from a glass
case, and several other articles, he
went into the back room, and, with
the child still holding the lamp. he
opened a small metal trunk and thor
oughly ransacked it. Deciding that
he did not want any Of the things in
the trunk he made the child 20 down
into the kitchen and ordered her to
get him some supper. Tremblingly,
the little girl got him some ham, cab
bage and other vegetables and made
some tea, which he devoured with
great avidity and apparent relish,
while Julia looked on.
After warning the girl that If she
told anybody he would come back and
cut her into pieces. the man left. >
! remarkable feature Of the affair is
that the man is said to have fingered
about the house for quite a time after
leaving-in fact, until he saw Mr.. and
Mrs. White return home.

3. Concentrate. Having entered up
On a certain line of work, continue

4. Do not shirk; rather go beyond
your task. Do not let any young man
think he has performed his duty when
he has performed the work assigned
him. A man will never rise if he acts
thus Promotion comes from excep-
tiOnal work A man must discover
where his employers interests lie and
push for these.
The young man who does this is
the young man whom capital wants

6. Never speculate. Never buy

facturer 'is what is known as the

"Of course, tobacco manufacturers
endeavor to use the same kind of to-

at times render this impossible AS an
illustration, our company had bought
up and stored away enough tobacco to
make up all our brands of smoking to-
baceo and cigarettes for the year, when
all OF a sudden cur storehouses were
destroyed by fire and our stock went
out OF existence. There was no more
tobacco OF that particular grade to be
bought. and we we're driven into new

Doa-whippinq Day.

There are parts of rural England
where they still set aside a day for
whipping dogs.
DOg-whipping day is October IS.
Then every boy in the neighborhood
is privileged to arm himself with
sticks and lashes and beat every dog
he meets to his hearts content. There
are different stories as TO the origin
of this strange custom. In Yorkshire
tradition has il that a priest. when
going his rounds many years ago,
dropped the holy water used in com.
munion service. A dog that happened
to be near by swallowed it, and was
promptly whipped for his gluttony.
and in commemoration of this event
it has been deemed expedient to
thrash the entire dog family on this
day throughout the succeeding years.
In the vicinity of Manchester the tale
goes that the good fathers in a certain
monastery used to set platters of food
outside the gates for the poor pilgrims
that infested the country at certain
seasons. On one occasion a dog. whose
stomach was probably as empty as
any pilgrims ever dared to be, very
selishly ate the food himself. He was
caught in the lawless act and was
whipped soundly, and his crime and
its punishment have been visited up
on his descendants these many gen
eratiOns.

ABOUT oHIO'S BIRTHDAY

ITS DATE UNKNOWN TO THE
WIsEST PEOPLE OF THAT
STATE
Ohio finds itself in a peculiar dilem-
ma, The state intends to celebrate the
centennial of its admission to the
Union, but, unfortunately. the date is
not known. The United States census
report gives November 20, 1902, but
this is not final authority, nor, indeed,
is it generally regarded as correct in
Chic, inasmuch as most people there
favor holding the centennial celebra-
tiOn in 1903.
Ohio was like Topsy; it had no
birthday, and it might almost be said
that, like TOpsy also, the state "just
growed." Either a distinct act for ad-
mission or provision for admission on
proclamation by the president was
made by Congress in case of each state
except Ohio. The act of May Z, 1900,
set off that part of the Northwest Ter
ritory now included in Ohio as a dis
tinct territorial government. and the
rest was organized as the territory Of
an Indian. The act of April 80. 1902. au-
thorized the people of Ohio to form a
state government. and a convention
held at Chilllcothe On November 1 to
% 1902, agreed upon a constitution
which went into force without ap-
proval by popular vote. This Consti-
tuition was submitted TO Congress in
January, 1903, and on February 19.
1903, the president approved the first
act which recognized the new state
This act of 1903 did not purport to ad-
NIT the state, but declared that it has
become one of the United States Of
America and provided for the extern
sion of Federal laws to the new state.
Ohio historians differ as to which
date should be recognized. but the
opinion is that the latter day. Febru-
airy l9, 1903, is the date if the presi-
dent in admitting other states is to be
recognized, but the act of that date as
serts that Ohio was then a state. and
hence it must have been one on No
vember 20, 1902 The question is one
of those upon which agreement is i'm
possible. although the date decided
upon for the centennial will make one
or the other in some degree Official

some AMusING pREscRtprInNs

Some curious stories about the pre-
scripuons Of the late Dr. Grubv. a
physician whose name is widely known
because, among other reasons. he was
the doctor present at Heine's death.
are told in the German Medical Week
ly. He was rather Of a mystic, and be-
lieved much in the power OF ''sugges-
ton when he began TO practice medi-
cine his prescriptions were extremely
odd and original; they were of a
dietetic-hygienic character-exercise
abstinence. CccupatiOn-and, knowing
that such simple advice was seldom
cbeyed, DR.. Gruby mixed it with a lit
tie comedy for each patient. One pre-
scrlptCn was only a little aromatic
gum water, together with an order to
walk every morning before sunrise
from the Bastile and the Madeleine. the
patient at every sixty-eighth step to
crack a grape kernel between his
teeth. Another patient was ordered to
mount his dining table three times q
day and bend his body backward for
seven and half minute at a time. One
prescription was to swallow two raw
eggs with exactly fOrty-seven grams Of
salt every evening A nervous idler
was ordered to take an apartment of
four rooms on the fifth story Of house.
to have the rooms papered in a different
shade of green, each with a different
pattern, the patient himself choosing
both apartments and papers and super
intending all the work At the end Of
four weeks the patient called again on
the doctor, as ordered and was found
almost perfectly cured
DIR. Gruby was consulted by many
distinguished people besides Heine;
Georges Sand, Marshal MacMahon. Du-
mas the elder. Daudet, Thomas. Chopin
and List We're among his patients.
Alexander Dumas related that being
afflicted with insomnia. ne consulted
Gruby who ordered him to take the
4.4O p. m. train at st. Lazaire and 20
to Versailles and back, assuring him
that Ire was sure to sleep on the return
journey. Dumas said that was non
sense and left in a huff. but soon after
being near St. Lazaire at the time men
tioned, he entered the train and with
such success that when he again ar
rived at St. Lazaire the ticekt porter
