Precocious Infants Be.
came "Bad Men,"
The Greatest Problem Is What to
Do With Them.

Two dangerous desperadoes" were
caught by the police Thursday after
noon after they had robbed two or
three stores and stolen Mr.. Ralph
Burnetts horse and buggy with the
intention of escaping from the city.
They cried like children when arrest
ed.
Ernest Miller, aged 6, of 116 Prince
ton St, and Willie Schmidt, aged Z,
of ITO Princeton St, are the heavy
Villains" and what to do with them
the officers do not know. They wer
not locked UP.
Thursday afternoon the Schmidt boy
was sent home by his teacher at the
Allen school to secure book which
he had for three days neglected to
bring TO school. He went down to
the room in the building in which the
kindergarten Is conducted, and called
Ernest Miller out by telling the teach
er that the boys mother was upstairs
and wished to see him. Then the
precocions infants disappeared.
When the police first heard of them
was when VIM. Leatherow, a livery
man near the car barns, tclcphoncd
to headquarters that he had Il horse
in his possession which two little boys
said they had stolen. An investigation
was begun.
The juvenile bad men We're also de-
tained at the livery stable and ac-
companied the officers to show them
where they had secured the property
they had The horse they had taken
from in front of UphamL Brouse Co.'s
store. From Wesley Henneberger's
feed store on South Main St, they had
taken Il pair of gold spectacles, and
key nearly as large as themselves
They had secured IA number of keys ut
Chas. McCoy's blacksmith shop on
South Main st. They had large
number of milk tickets and few
minor articles whose owners were not
located.
AS the children drove south on Main
St, they lost control of the horse and
Frank Stewart, II bell boy at the Buch-
tel hotel ran into the street and
climbed into the bggy from behind,
to help them. When the horse was
finally stopped at Leatherows barn
the Schmidt boy jumped from the
buggy and ran. He was soon cap
turcd. The Miller boy promptly be
gan crying and owned up to every
thing.
Last Saturday night the Schmidt
boy was found on the street ut 1 am,
by Policeman Harry Welsh, who sent
him to No. 4 engine house, from which
place Policeman France took him
home.
Chief of Police Durkin will have
an interview with the parents of the
boys.

it does not imply any spirit of aspira-
tion on his part, AS he fully realizes
the futility of the present hopes of his
party to land Il Senator. 1t Is merely
an accession on the doctors part to
the wishes Of his party which were
conveyed to him Tuesday night, when
he was asked by telepone to allow his
name to go before the convention.
AS TO qualifications, the party lead
ers have made a wise choice as, should
their candidate by any chance be elect
ed to chair in the Senate, IT would
be hard work to find man who could
fill the chair to any better advantage
than could the doctor, who is Il scholar
and student of matters pertaining
To the welfare of the people of the
State and country. DR. Dickson has
been n faithful and consistent worker
in the Prohibition party for, seventeen
years, and Il man who practiced what
he preached, His faith in the ultimate
victory of the principles of his party
is strong and he hopes to see the day
when they shall prevail throughout
the land.

At various times the public has been
warned of the dangers that lurk in the
kiss and even in the handshake as
agencies by which microbes may be
distributed, but the remarks Of a
speaker at a medical association meet
ing in Chicago hint that even the per-
son who renounces these practices is
not safe. All the distributing agencies
by means of which men come in CON
tact with other men should be subject
to sterilization and even "the long
hair and full beard ought to be dis
couraged by general disapprobation,"
1t is not depreciating the wisdom of
the advice to point out that apparent
ly it is becoming a dangerous matter
simply to remain alive. Even the man
who defes germs by keeping himself
close shorn and putting in his waking
hours in the use Of antiseptics can
never feel wholly safe. He may have
no hair wherein the malign microbe
can find lodgment, but he viii still
have his throat, lungs and other or
gans to which the bacilli are wont to
repair. Simply by remaining alive he
is exposing a field Of operation to the
ever-ready mlcrobe. Apparently the
only perfect safeguard would lie in
shearing off not only hair and beard,
but everything above the neck, at
which point the health seeker might be
dead, but would certainly be immune
from microbes.

Lassooed in the street.

A curious accident happened at the
corner of Fourteenth street and Broad
way, New York City, the other day.
A young woman was crossing from
Broadway to get into Fifth avenue,
when a huge furniture wagon came
numbering across her path. She had
barely allowed the wagon to pass when
she stepped forward and put her foot
into looD-knotted rope, which she did
not notice trailing behind the wagon.
The loop Immediately tightened round
her ankle, and she was knocked down
and dragged for nearly fifty yards be-
fore the driver heard her screams and
the shouts of the bystanders to stop.
When picked up she missed her purse,
which had dropped from her hand. A
rigorous search was made for it, but it
could not be found A sneak thief in
the crowd had evidently picked it up
and made his escape during the mo-
mentary excitement. The purse, she
said, contained Sj3, which she had

It is no longer necessary for every
housewife to be her own baker or to
spin and weave with her own hands
the clothing for her husband and
children, yet it is at least reasonable
to suppose that the extra time thus
placed at her disposal is employed in
a manner which is quite as conducive
to the happiness and comfort of her
household as though she spent a large
portion of her existence over the
kitchen stove or at the loom and spin
ming wheel. The statement that col
lege-bred girls do not make good wives
rests on insufficient evidence. The
womanly young woman Of domestic
tastes and capabilities does not usu-
ally find that these are destroyed by
course of collegiate instruction No
ground exists for supposlng that edu-
cation in either sex is a bar to marital
happiness, opines the Philadelphia

Vate There is Not Much For Him.
Things have greatly improved for

Army of late" said a resident of New
Orleans, whose business takes him fire.
quently into the sister republic, but
only a few years ago he had a pretty
rough time Of it, and as for his pay
well, I'll tell you little story that COW
ers the ground fairly well. On one oc-
casion l spent several nOnths in a
small town in the northern part Of the
country, where regiment of infantry
was temporarily in barracks. OF
course l got well acquainted with all
the officers from the Colonel down,
and found them without exception,
royal good fellows. But the poor sol
diers were as tough looking a lot Of
scarecrows as / ever laid eyes on.
Their uniforms Were in rags and tat
ters, half of them were barefooted and
the other half had no hats, while their
arms and accoutrements were in a con-
dition to match. The paymaster used
to get around about every two months,
and his arrival would be a signal for
great excitement at the barracks. He
did his business, however, entirely
with the Colonel and, after inspecting
the rolls, would place certain sum of
money in that dignitarys hands, dine
formally with the whole staff and take
his departure. Next day the Colonel
would call the captains of the several
companies and give each of them
bag Of dollars. The captains would
thereupon summon the lleutenants,
who, in turn, would send for the SER
geants, and thus the money would
glide down the line until it finally
reached the corporals, who did the ac-
tual paying off Of the men.
How it happened l don't undertake
to say, but with each transfer the cash
invariably suffered a shrinkage Per-
haps it was due to abrasion. Anyhow,
not more than third ever reached the
rank and file. That would have been
bad enough, but in this regiment there
was also curious ebb tide, so to speak,
that swept good deal of the money
back through the original channel Of
distribution. The whole crowd from
privates to commander were inveter-
ate poker players, and by a mysterious
freak of fate their ability was in al
most exact ratio to their rank-the old
Colonel being acknowledged champion
of the department After pay day
there was always a grand poker orgie,
in which the non-cOmmissiOned officers
usually cleaned out the privates. Then
a few lieutenants would swoop down
and wind up the 'noncoms,' to get
looted themselves by their captains,
who invariably fell victims to the SUI
perior skill of the Colonel. The result
was that the unfortunate private never
got over third of his pay and never
had that longer than forty.eight hours.
He got it in the neck both comm and
gwine.' - New Orleans Times Demo-

Everybody has won," said the Dodo
solemnly, "and everybody must have
a prize" This, it may be remembered,
was the way the caucus race ended in
"Alice in Wonderland" 1t appears to
be the way that General Gaselee, COM
manding the British forces in China,
has awarded his prizes. His dispatch
of January II, 1901, recently pub
lished in the London Times, "men-
tions" no fewer than 146 officers for
good service rendered. Only three re-
ceive special commentator. One Of
these gave "most valuable support and
assistance" another performed his du-
ties thoroughly and satisfactorily"
the third displayed much tact and
judgment" All that is needed now is
for the commanding officer to reach
over and pat his own back; then every
body will indeed have received prize.

The battle between the advocates Of
the two styles of handwriting in the
public schools-the vertical and the
deferential-is still raging in many
American cities towns and villages.
Champions of the perpendicular lines
throw out sly hints to the effect that
an upright hand indicates uprightness
of character, and that a slant in pen
manship may be the outward and visi-
bic sign of a slant in conscience. But
this really seems to be going a little
too far in the heat of controversy.
