A Bold Burglary.

Last Sunday Gust Olson went to st-
tend che church on Maple Hill and be-
fore leaving he locked his store securely
and considered that he was safe in 20
leaving. He was very disagreeably sur
prised upon his return, about six O'Clock
in the afternoon, to find the front door
open and upon Investigating he found
that someone had entered the building
and secured about $1,000 In cash and
considerable merchandise. The thieves
had forced their way into the building
by means Of a weak place in the founda-
ton and into the cellar.
Mr.. Olson, who has strong suspicion,
based upon circumstancial evidence, 10
reluctant to start proceedings and will
wait few days before so doing. His
reluctance is caused by the fact that the
guilty parties are young and probably
did not realize the seriousness of the
crime. Unless restoration is made, how
ever, within few days tho guilty party
will hear something drop.

Morse origin and signify Priest islands,

Daily Post. There was q solitary
croft on this island at one time, but all

grazing purposes. A striking feature
Of, the isle is the fact that no mice can
live there; and on various occasions,
to test the truth of this, mice have been
caught and slipped on the isle, but so
uncongeniel did it's soil prove to their
existence that in q short while they
were dead. There are instances of
crofters on the mainland. when

fetching earth from this isle and
sprinkling it on the ground before
building their stacks. This is said to
have had the desired effect In oil cases.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER,
oa30le Their Friends Into Beeouain,
the Victims OF Their D1aboll-
cal Pra04l0S,

If the average amateur photog-
rapher would not attempt to make
portraits! It is bad enough to be
misrepresented in an out-of-doors
group, but when the snapshot man
turns his attention to heads, and
poses them near the camera it >is
too much, remarks the New York
Times. ="
One of these mental torturers did
this the other day. He cajoled q
much-photographed neighbor to al
low him to practice upon her for the
full face. His must have been an
excellent lens, for nothing escaped
it. 1t seemed to have X-ray quail
ties. It brought defects ont of that
poor woman's face Of which she had
never dreamed. There were big
freekles which she had not seen
since she was a child, wrinkles which
made her 20 years older than she
really was, savage lines about her
mouth, and her hair was turned into
broomcorn.
There, I think that il a pretty
good portrait" said the amateur, as
he turned over the result Of his ef-
forts to the victim. THAT Is a good
likeness"
1t was a likeness, too. There was
the same strong resemblance which
the earicaturist puts into his
sketches and also the same hideous
unlikeness. with not even the humor-
Gus excuse for it. It was all blank
ugliness.
No one will know the blow It was
to the woman to receive that awful
thing as her picture. Her friends
only half guessed it. when she tim
idly asked if they thought it looked
very much like her. She had really
believed the statement, sometimes
wrongfully made, that the camera
cannot lie. The camera Is an uncon-
seaonable hypocrite. :

By way OF preface, we would here
state that this country has been get
ting it in the place where the chick.
en- got the axe ever since the con-
summation Of its annexation to the
United States came about, the worst
thing that has happened to itand
its people, for in its wake it has re-
ceived one OF the utmost blessings
bestowed upona people, and that is
in receiving oarpetbagging judi
cature And in. order to make our
position plain, we would further
qualify ourselves by the statement
that we have got hold Of a malihiai
judiciary. 1t is decidedly and very
much so, and we deem it very detri-
mental to the interests Of the coun-
try and its people, very dangerous
and unaccountable precedent which
we are at loss to understand and

"their church" and is "built with

give the public a showing, otherwise
do give us rest on such illogical
and silly claim. But we admire

without the knowlegde OF their left,
