END OF DOG THIEF-TAKER.
1T. Bernard That Twice Captured
Burglars in New York, Dies
of Bad Cold.

Prince, the policeman dog" of New
York, which by watchfulness and
prompt action twice caused the arrest
of burglars while they were looting
his owners apartments, is dead. Prince
caught a cold which developed into
pneumonia and heart disease, and he
died in his mistress home one after
noon lately.
Although of the usual tawny color,
Prince was not an ordinary ST. Ber-
nard. His great face, marked in black
and white, shone with intelligence, and
the owner for the seven years of his
life, Miss Jane Mcguire, is almost
brokenhearted, reports New York ex-
change.
Miss Mcguire always fed the dog
with her own hands, and he became
very fastidious in his diet, always in
sSting on having chicken or broiled
steak or chops for meal. His favorite
drink was coffee.
Nothing was too good for Prince, es-
pecially after he had shown his abil-
lty as a policeman. He caused the ar
rest of larcenous intruder in his own
- AAoAAiO III ~ y 1921 lie
was lifting marble clock from the
mantel in the parlor when the watch
dog sprang upon him. The man
dropped the clock with a crash and ran
into the hall, and there he was held by
the ST. Bernard.
In capturing his man Prince never
bit him. With a spring he placed his
great paws upon the fellow and held on
while Miss Mcguire called for help.
When human policeman reached the
house he handcuffed the intruder and
led him away.
Another time ragpicker had filled
his bag with valuable plumber in Miss
Maguire's apartments when Prince
sprang upon him, and the mans cries
brought the household to the scene.
The ragpicker was badly frightened
and stood motionless in the dogs en-
brace.
Prince was able to discriminate with
ease between various classes of per-
sons, and generally showed his prefer
ence for those who were well dressed.

Another "Harrowing, Incident.

Miss Alice Roosevelt has returned
from the Adirondack mountains.
While driving 40 miles on a buck
board on her way to the station one
of the lines fell from the drivers
hand. Had the horses started up
suddenly and got beyond control,
those occupying the blackboard would
have been dashed down the precipi-
tous sides of the mountains to GER
tain death. But the driver picked up

Fuel Bin of the Future.

Experts of high repute say that

Latest Kansas EyentS.
wyandotte County Leads.

The state labor commissioner has
issued report showing that there
are 1880 manufacturing establish
ments in Kansas, with 65,S27,362
capital, employing 35,193 wage-earn-
ers, of whom III are men over
Is, 162 women over 16 and $50 chill
dren under 16. In order to show
that manufacturing has advanced in
proportion to agriculture. he cites
the fact that in 1850 there were only
344 factories in Kansas and that the
products turned out of the factories
in 1860 were valued at $4,357 ,40S. The
largest single industry is the pack
ing business. Packing house prod
ucts last year ran over S77,000,O00.
The milling business came second
with $22,000,000. Kansas City has 492
factories with $1S,633,000 capital,
which give employment to 1854
wage-earners, paying them $4,sS6,259
annually. The factories manufac-
tured products valued at $50, ,943
last year. Topeka comes second
with POI factories with $3,S91 900 cap
ital and employing 1888 wage-earn-
ers, paying them $1,11O,ooo annually.
Their aggregate output of manufac-
tured products was $9,997,000 last
year. Wichita has 32S factories-37
more than Topeka-but their com
bined capital is not as much, $2,10S,-
900. They employ 1905 people and
pay them $639,271 in wages yearly.
The value of their products aggre-
gated last year $4,724,OO0. Leaven-
worth has 22O factories with $2,207,-
600 capital and they employ 1856
people and pay them $833,000 annual
ly. The value of their products
amounted to $4,721, 900 last year.

How He Lost $500.

Some months ago F. E. Grimes
and S. B. Rohrer, of Topeka, bought
a ranch of $500 acres in Harper coun-
ty for about $4,000. The seller re-
served the right to harvest about
1000 acres of wheat that had been
planted, but the drought frightened
him and he sold his right for 5000.
Three weeks ago Grimes and Rohrer
cut and thrashed the wheat and the
yield was 10000 bushels, which they
have just sold for 60 cents bushel.

Mr.: Crane-I want to tell you that have

So said Judge Dunno in admins
tering a rebuke TO attorneys for Mel

The fact that az car route agent

he collected as much as $4,000, cou-
pied with the admission that his pay
was only Si5 a week. tempered the
mind of the Judge to extreme leniency
and saved West from felon's cell.
In his discussion OF the case, Judge
Dunno said he believed smUl and in.
sufficient salaries to mon in places of

conditions man and wife with a
