Henry Wiley, about. 10 years old, met

About $50 o'clock last Friday evening |
while Mr.. S. M. Rosenberg was standing
in his store talking with some friends, a
sneak thief raised one of the side win
dows and pulled out eight pairs of trous-
ers. The robbery was SO bold that the
above named gentleman thought some of
his friends were playing joke on him
as be looked at the goods disappearing |
through the window, but discovered his
mistake moment later when he stepped
out the side door and saw the thief
sprinting rapidly down the ally. Mr..
Rosenberg reported the robbery but at
this time the officers have not appre
hended the thief.

Again as in many previous instances

ton of red and gold Praise God from
whom all blessings Aow'' are more than

hundreds Of autumn leaves blending their
colors with the ripened grain and fruits
as if lending their last efforts to glorify
the dying year, the whole window so
grand and tropical IN its splendor can
not but halt the passerby, and impress
the lesson taught by the inscription
