Some little excitement was caused in
Green Mountain Saturday because of
the pilfering of couple of full dinner
pals" belonging to Great Western sec
ton men. that had been left in the de-
pot while the men were at work in the
yards. A well-dressed young man, who
had been hanging about the depot some
time, and who was hungry and had no
means with which to satisfy his inner
desires, helped himself to the contents
of two of the pals and after eating
his fill laid by supply of sandwiches
for his supper. Some one saw the fell
low in the act of filing his pockets with
the lunches and informed the section
men. Two of the number laid track
Improvement aside for the time and
started on a chase after the thief. The
pursuit was joined by others who Gid
not know but that the fleeing man
might be a murderer or bank robber.
DIR. j. r. Strain, in a buggy overlook
the stranger after race of a half mile
and the fellow surrendered, offering to
make good for the theft as we'll as he
could under the circumstances. He
turned over bogus half dollar to his
captors, also a new pair Of kid gloves,
which he considered worth the price Of
the food.

FAIR sMUeGLER FoILED.
Society Woman Is Forced to Give Up
Pearl Necklace Purchased in Paris.

NEW YORK, July 23.-As a promi-
nent young society woman of PhiIa-
delphia stepped from the steamship
Kron Prinz Wilhelm on its arrival here
and greeted her husband waiting on
the pier, agents of the treasury de-
partment interrupted their conversa-
ton and took from the woman a pearl
necklace reported worth $4,000, which
she had purchased in Paris and omit
ted from her declaration.
A special treasury agent has been in
Paris and learned of the purchase of
the necklace. He determined to return
to New York on the same steamship
with the purchaser. After the traveller
had greeted her husband, the couple
were asked to return to the women's
stateroom. The agent asked for the
necklace, and the woman, who wore it
around her neck, under the dress COL
lar, handed the pearls over.
Collector Stranahan may allow the
payment of the duty of 60 per cent and
deliver the necklace to its owner.
The latter said, however, he might
decide not to pay the duty and return
the necklace to the Paris jewelers. who
sold it to his wife. The woman said
she had no intention of evading pay
ment, but wished to consult her hus-
band about the purchase before declar-
ing 1t to the customs officers.

sembles mousseline de sole, yet thick
enough to be modestLy impenetrable.
Paris, with half dozen insertions of
yellow beading, edged with honiton.
Through the beading are run ribbons
of white satin, heavily embossed with
little pink rosebuds and ending in a
full breast knot. Very full sleeves,
just short enough to show a dimpled
arm, are finished with a SOFT billowy
ruffle of the point de Paris that Grapes
and futterS about the forearm in a
bewildering manner that ruffies have.
The gown is very long and full, with
a fascinating point de Paris f1ounce
about the feet.
But the most striking feature of the
whole is the fact that there is no open
ing to the garment, front or back. This
is the novel and attractive feature of
all the latest nightgowns. For so long
we have been sleeping in conven-
tional garment, with a yoke Of a sailor
collar and the fastening down the
front, that it is delightful to discover
something to break the monotony. This
year nightgowns open nowhere, except
at the throat and the feet. They are
made like a Chinese garment, to be
slipped on over the head. One feels
them as a baby in it's new slip. Why
have we been sewing buttons on all
these years, when modesty and laZi-
ness, if not cleverness, might have
suggested this simple device long ago?

SAYS PIGS ARE CLEANLY
OHIO MAN SAYS THESE PAcHY-
DERMS ARE MUCH MALIGNED
One of the Traditions of the Nursery
and Its Most Effective Smile Seems
Destined to Vanish Before Search
light of Modern lnquiry-Mr. Vests
Model Pens.

The searchlight of modern investiga-
ton and modern observation is re-
morseleSs. Yesterday we were inform
ed that Washington never figured in
the cherry tree episode. Today those
in authority insist that the pig is neat.
Tomorrow-well, one shudders to think
what the morrow will bring forth.
In the case of the pig, however, some
apology certainly seems due the ami
NAL. For centuries he has been ma
ligned. In the nursery he has been
held up as an object of loathing.
NO clean little boy from time i'm
mortal have remarked we'll intentioned
but mistaken nurses, will care to look
or act like a nasty pig"
Thus horror of the pigs mode of life,
disgust at his manners, have been
early instilled in the minds Of the
youth of the land. And with what re-
suit? Why, the animal throughout his
life has had the finger of scorn pointed
at him. But now comes Mr.. West, of
Ohio. The pig" says Mr.. West, with
emotion, has never had a chance"
But Mr.. West has not only preached.
He has practiced and results have vim
dictated the character of the pig. He
has placed the ref1nements of life in
reach of the pig. Today Mr.. Vests
pigs are the pride of Clark county.
They revel in a spotless pen. Their
Sunday bath-alaS, they have not
reached that stage where the daily tub
is necessary to their peace of minds
an event looked forward to. Their
meals are dainty feasts, dafntily serv-
ed. Mr. West declaims any credit for
these encouraging results. 1T was in
the pig" he insists.
But the pigs gain is the worlds loss.
In dirty as a pig it had a most eff
fective smile which truth will now
world is not churlish. 1t will not be-
grudge the pig it's vindication. And
that vindication, though tardy, is COM

WHAT Al BOY CAN DO

These are some of the things boy can
do; ~.
He can shout SO loud the air turns blue;
He can make al sounds Of beast and
bird
And thousand more they never heard.
He can grow or cackle, chirp or cluck,
Till he fools the rooster, hen or duck,
He can mock. the dog or lamb or COW,
And the cat herself can't beat his me
Ow."
He has sounds that are ruff1ed, striped,
or plain;
He can thunder by like a railway train,
stop at the stations a breath, and then
Apply the steam and be off again
He has all of his powers in such com
mand,
He can turn right into full brass band,
With all of the Instruments ever played,
And march away as street parade.
You can tell that boy is very ill
If he's wide awake and is keeping still:
But earth would be-God bless their
noise!-
A duh old place if there were no boys.
