row THUGS HIDE WEAPONS.


There seems to De one lesson th9ts
men in the service never learn, said :
veteran policemen in discussing the
murder Of Detective. Patrick DuRy ac-
1ordine to the Chicago Inter OceaA,
sand that is that the gun-1fghting
crook, who is ready to shoot to avert,
arrest, never hides his weapon In his
hip pocket. STILL the average police
man. in attempting to captures = known
desperate criminal, is generally con-
tented with q sfrisk' ct what is known
as the pistol pocket
'sNearly every officer who has met
unexpected death, injury, or danger.
while attempting arrests has been TAX
en- unawares by the production Of
weapons from unexpected places.
Billy Hal1dran, one pf the. hrayestI
men the Chicago police depa ftlnent|
ever knew, had thoroughly searched
Mike Lynch, whom he had arrested on
q serious charge. At least he thought
SO. They had gone several blocks on
the way to the station when Lynch
drew a revolver and shot Halloran
dead. It is believed by some that he
had the weapon in his hat.
"Gun-fightiHg crooks carry their inn
plements everywhere except in the re-
ceptacles provided by the tailors. Up
their sleeves, under their trousers
belts, under their arm-pits and even in
their shoes and other places where's .
careless search will not reveal them.
But since the shooting of Duffy the
detectives, in dealing with desperate
men, are more vigilant in searching for
weapons"

A two-year-old Indian tiger was
killed in fight with Forses on circus
train while en- route from Goshen to
Poughkeepsie, few days ago. The
tiger, which had been recently im-
ported, escaped from its wagon den
while the train was in motion. It
crawled over the tops Of four wagons
and entered a car containing 80
draught horses. A fierce battle ensued,
the panic-stricken horses plunging and
kicking at the savage intruder. When

And, standing rapt beneath the boughs
of thorn,
Afar cast my gaze where fresh young

Rose glinting in the beam. SO fair. SO still!
When, hark! from DER the rising flower
sprent bill,
A startled voice, of hope, of love, of fear,
That seemed to fill the spirits atmos-

Again, again, repeated quick and shrill!
Q God. within that tone what thoughts up
rose!
What kindly morns, of aspirations fair!

Yet IL its pulse loves tear bedims the

Cloud-cradled in the skies.

Three Wishes,


An infant in Its cradle slept,
And In its sleep it smiled
And one by one three women knelt
To kiss the fafr-haired child:
And each thought of the days to be-
And breathed prayer hah silently.
One poured her love on many lives,
But knew loves toll and care:
Its burden oft had been to her
a heavy weight to bear.
She stopped and murmured lovingly:
Not hardened hands, dear child, for thee"
One bad not known the burdened hands,
But knew the empty heart;
At HES rich banquet ene had sat,
An unfed guest. apart.
"Oh, not she whispered, tenderly,
An empty heart, dear child, for thee."
And ore was old; she had known care,
She had known loneliness;
She knew God leads us by no path
His presence cannot bless;
She smiled and murmured trustfully,
God s will, Gods will, dear child, for thee. -

living of others who could have
done the work just as well, and
who needed the place that he cap
tured by superior strength and
push. 1t IS good for a young man
who has ambition, but no money,
to work his way through school.
All honor TO those who are thus
manfully toiling for a future, but
it is, to say the least, undigni6ed
for one who has means to live
comfortably while pursuing his
studies, to prolong his term at
school by engagingin other employ
ment, however honorable, and at
the same time levy a tax on the
community for his support while
doing the work that ought to be
left for the really poor young men
who need it and must have it or
give up all hope of an education.
Possibly we are so far behind
the age as not to sympathize with
it's peculiarities. This may have
cen all right, but we unhesitat-
ingly believe it all wrong, and so
far from blushing because of our
ignorance and narrowness, we
stoutly declare we would rather
dwell in Sleepy Hollow with Rip
Van Wrinkle forever than to keep
step with an age which repudiates
so much that our childhood was
taught to revere, and which our
manhood has always held as sac
red.

ARGENTINE NEWSPAPERS.
Progress OF Printing There Since Jesuits
introduced 1t in 7

Progress or Printing There since Jesuits
Introduced 1t in 1905.
One feature of the progress of the
South American States is the increase
OF the number of newspapers and mag
azines. A recen issue of the Demo-
graphic Bulletin of the Argentine Re-
public gives some details of the de-
velopment of printing and journalism
in that country. The article calls at
tention to the fact that the first
printing office in the region Of the
River Platte was established in 1705 by
some Jesuit Fathers at their missions
in Paraguay. They at first used en-
graved blocks of wood and later sep
arated wooden types. In ITS they es-
tablished the first printing office in the
Argentine Republic proper. That was
at Cordova. When the Fathers were
driven out two years after that the
printing office at Cordova was ADAM
doned, but it was transferred soon
after to Buenos Ayres. There it was
called the Printing Office of the Foun-
dlings, as its earnings were applied to
the support of the foundlings. 1t was
continued until 1924. The first news
paper in Buenos Ayres was the Mer-
camille Telegraph, which came out in
1901. At that time there was no free
dom for the press, but the revolution
of 1901 gave an impulse to the publica-
ton OF newspapers and from that time
on the number kept growing larger.
There are now 739 periodicals publish
ed in the country. OF these ninety
four are dailies and 256 weeklies; $50
of them are Spanish, but eleven are
English, twenty-four Italian and sew
en- French.

ARE OPPOSED TO FOOTBALL.
Michigan Colleges May Unite in Move to
Prohibit the Game.

Olivet, Mich, Feb. S.-There is
a concerted movement on foot
among Michigan colleges to do
away with football. AT a meeting
of the college branch of the State
Teachers Association it was
voted to recommend that all col
leges unite in prohibiting the
game.
Faculties of nearly all colleges
in the State are now considering
the recommendation.
Its opponents regard the game
as physically injurious, and say
that it has not performed the off
ices which its friends claimed for
it-namely, that of increasing
the attendance.
