Louis Money.
st. Louis, Jan. Silk masked men
entered the National Stock Yards
bank, north of East ST. Louis, H., and
after capturing and gagging the two
night watchmen and firemen at the
plant and blowing open the vaults
with dynamite, secured $4,000 in coin
and currency, with which they de-
camped.
With nitro-glycerine the robbers
blew open the vault. The banks books
and papers were blown into shreds,
and about $500 in gold and silver scat
tered on the floor. This money was
not taken. The robbers took all the
currency and other coin.
President Knox Of the bank said
that if the robbers had made their
haul the night before they would have
secured about $4,000 more than they
got. This is the bank whose officers
recently swore out warrant charging
Theodore Duddlestein, the assistant
cashier, with embezzling $4,000.

BIG SUIT AGAINST MICHIGAN.
Michigan Central Wants Damages for
Loss of Charter.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-The Record-Her-
aid says Damages amounting to at
least 100000 and possibly to more
than double that sum, will be brought
by the management Of the Michigan
Central road against the state OF Mich
igan. Suit to recover for loss already
occasioned and TO be occasioned in the
years to come through the forced for
fixture of the special charter Of the
Michigan Central, will be begun in the
United States court as soon as tho
assessment Of damages can be deter.
mined by careful calculation. TIE
legal controversy grows out of the re.
cent law passed by the legislature OF
the state fixing the maximum charge
per mile for passenger service at 2
cents.

the Michigan Central here, confirms
the report.

l:enefit of Exercise.

Next to bodily cleanliness, exercise
may De reckoned as the greatest aid
to beauty. In fact, exercise is almost
necessary to cleanliness, for it is
great incentive to perspiration, which
is natures way of throwing the impu-
rites of the body to the Surface of the
skin, from whence they are then re-
moved by the use of water. Open-air
exercise should be taken every day,
but according to strength. One shouk
return home after walking, riding u
cycling with sense of being pleasant
- tstiEued, but without any feeling Of
exhaus ZION. Exercise should be taken
regularly, and, if possible, dumb-bells
should be used night and morning. The
corset should not be worn while exer-
cising with dumb-bells. Skipping Is
an excellent exercise for the figure, and
it is one of which our grandmothers
were fond. 1t is usual with children

The Decorative Plato sha,f.

An attractive addition to dining
room or den is a plate shelf, eight or
ten inches in width. In the dining
room it may extend all around, if de-
sired, to hold ornamental china, stems,
pitchers or other objects of which the
housekeeper has collection.
The height should conform to the
wall decoration, and the shelf may be
as high as the door casing with ad-
vantage.
In den or sitting room, where it Is
intended for bric-a-brac, photographs
and such trifles, it is better not to put
the shelving entirely around the room,
but in sections, and even at irregular
heights.
There is room for the display Of
good deal of taste in the placing OF
the plate rack. The articles that are
to stand upon it, the furniture of the
room, the arrangement of doors and
windows, all have to be taken into con.
sideration. The finish of the shelf,
too, is of Importance. 1t is better to

propcr way to Boil wntor.

To boil water is an apparently sim
pie operation, and yet it is said that
many people do not know how to do
it. According to an authority the Sc
cret consists in putting fresh water
into kettle already warm and set
ting the water t. boil quickly. When
the boiling point is reached the water
should be used at once for making
tea, coffee or other drinks, and not
allowed to steam, simmer and evapor-
ate until the good water is in the at
mosphere and the lime, iron and dregs
only left in the kettle. Water boiled
in the manner described and favored
with little lemon juice is often rec
commended to those suffering from
loss Of appetite.

''Is that for me?" she said, in al awe.
struck voice. "Oh, thank yeu. thank
you!"
There was so much radiance in the
lcok that Madam Jackson was startled,
and then wonderful thing happened.
For the moment it seemed as if the
years had rolled back, and the worn
face shone with its lost beauty and it's
lost youth. D
The eyes were very bright, a tender
smile lowered over the tremulous
mouth, and Madam Jackson saw what
the woman must have been long ago,
before the hard years had robbed ner
of her bloom.
81 wish John could see me-" the lit
tie woman whispered.
AS if in answer to her wish, there
came a knock at the door. Madam
Jackson opened it quickly.
Come in, won't you?" sne said,
pleasantly. "Your wife is ANXIOUS to
have you see her in her new dress"
The man entered. When the blue
gowned, radiant vision faced him, he
started. why, Lottie, he said, "why
my dear, is it really you?"
do you like it, John?" sic said.
Like it! Why, you look just as
you did when we were married, only
somehow, sweeter and dearer,' and
then, regardless of Madam Jackson in
the background, he took the small
woman in his arms and kissed her On
her glowing cheeks.
A few minutes later Madam Jackson
stood at the window and watched them
drive away with the blue dress care
fully wrapped up. The flush still lin
gered on the little woman's face as
she waved a last good-by.
Madam Jackson waved back. She
knew that before long the flush would
fade from her friends cheek, the
lines would come back, the cares re-
turn. The burdens must be taken up
again.
There would come, too, the weary
hours and the lonely ones that must
be lived through. The blue dress
would be folded away as something
sacred, seldom worn, but never forgot
ten. There would be something beau
t;fuI at least to look at in the bare old
farmhouse.
AS the rattling wagon disappeared
Madam Jackson turfed away from the
window with smile that was half
sigh.
THAT blue dress-it as a success,
after all" she, murmured.-Youth's

euAINTEsT VILLAGE IN THE LAND.
Queer Little Town in Ohio Where Eng
lish Is Ncycr spoken.

Queer Little Town in Ohio Where Eng
lish Is Never Spoken.
There is one village in the United
States where no modern improvement
has ever penetrated, where not the
faintest echo of the rush ana overwork
Of modern life has ever sounded,
where American newspapers are not
read nor the English language spoken.
This is the little German village of
Glandorf, in Putnam county, OHIO,
where GOO frugal and industrious In
habitants have lived for years in
contented and idyllic simplicity.
In the building of the town, as in
everything else about it the people
have held very closely to the customs
of Germany, from where its foun iers
came. There is but one street, and
that extends for over mile, general.
ly north and south. Quaint, durable
and homelike are the houses scattered
along either side, interspersed. here
and there by the stores. All t1e-Tesl.
dences have spacious anl->Tell-kept
dooryards. Back and away from this
principal streetlyet SO near that the
laboEegs=ean~6e seen and heard at
tsneir work in tine fields-stretch the
thrifty farms of the German country
folk. 1t is not an uncommon sight to
see women and girls at work IN tae
fields with the men, and the Whole
population shows that rugged health
so characteristic of the race.
Among themselves the people con-
verse almost entirely in the German
language, and, indeed, there are
great many in the community who can
speak no other. They are generous
and clever, and the stranger who goes
among them always finds hospitable
welcome, and is impressed with their
simple kindness. Nowhere can be
found a more devoutly religious peo-
pie. They are of the Catholic faith,
and possess one of the finest church
buildings in Northwestern Ohio.
This ediice has in itself been means
of making Glandorf famous, because
o. it's size and the beauty of its archi-
lecture. Although most Of the work
OF construction, the quarrying of the
stone for the foundation and the haul
ing of the material was given gratis
by members of the parish, the cost
outside of all this was over $50, 900.
The structure is Of brick and is orna-
mented with white sandstone.
Back of the church is the convent,
and all of the work of the farm con-
nected with it is looked after by the
sisters.
The people of the parish are very
strict in their church duties.
