sturgis, KY, Dec. 14.-The Bank of
Sturgis was robbed early Friday morn
ing of between $500 and 81, 600 by rob-
bers' who blew open the safe with
nitroglycerin. The robbers are thought
to have escaped on horses and to have
followed the railroad track. Blood
hounds followed the trail for sew
eral miles, but lost it then on
account Of rain. The posse
traced the robbers further than the
dogs by finding occasionally pennies
that had been dropped and which are
supposed to have been part Of the
booty. sledge hammers were stolen by
the robbers from a blacksmith shop.
The Bank OF Sturgis was recently
warned by detective that It might
be robbed and therefore kept only a

How Hia Confidence Was Abuaed by
the Natives of Bethany.
When D. L. Moody went to Bethany
during his travels in the east. be was
very soft hearted over all the multi
tude of beggars there. not only because
the place Is so unusual. but because he
was moved by it's beautiful traditions.
He gave quantities of 'bscksheesh''
and then asked if any of the children
had the names of Mary and Martha.
Yes, indeed. they had. And that Open
ed his pockets again.
The news Of his generosity spread
through the village. and new claim
ants came until his visit seemed likely
to result in d fight for existence. The
case was getting desperate, and he
told the dragoman to call for silence
while he made an address. Then he
said:
~ have come 6.OOO miles to see this
little village of Bethany. 1t was a
place my Master loved to visit. and
have come 10 see it because he loved
it. am very glad to meet you all, but

A fine looking boy OF IL replied to the
address. He spoke fluently and with
the grace Of an orator Mr., Moody
was delighted with the beginning of

I'VE are glad to see the gentleman
and his friends who have come so far.
but the gentleman must not think that
his actions are equal to the Importance
Of his visit Six thousand miles is q
long way to come. and the gentleman
must have sacrificed much to make the
visit. In consequence ii is natural for
us to expect that be would be munifi.

Better Than Rubber Heels.

Every one knows that when soldiers
cross a bridge they are ordered to
break step so that the regular vibration
Of so many feet shall not endanger the
safety of the structure. An army sur
geon of France discovered that the
brain jar due to long marches in regu-
lar step Is as trying on the human
frame as such marching Is on the struc-
ture Of bridge. To the regular repeti-
tlon Of shock to bones and brain
caused by this uniform and long con-
tinued marching are due the peculiar
aches, pains and illness Of the troops.
On one day march, he says, this
shock is repeated 10000 times, and Of
ten the strongest men who can walk
the same distance without trouble
when not in line succumb to the strain
In two or three days. Therefore this
surgeon proposed as remedy the use
OF rubber heels. This device has been
tried in the French infantry with great
success.
But our army has better plan than
that. We simply break step with the
command route STEP" At this gait
the men march in columns of tours at
the rate Of to 31a miles an hour. They
carry their pieces at will. keeping the
muzzle elevated. They are not required
to preserve silence nor to keep the step.
And that's why the American army
doesn't wear rubbers.-New York Press.
