News of a daring hold-Jp and brutal

lice station early this morning when
Earl Harper. a fifteen -year-old boy, Iiv-
Ing at 1910 D Street northeast. entered
the stationhouse and. wita tears in his
eyes, told how he had been approached
by two negroes at the Coliseum about
IL o'clock last night and carried bodily
to the Eastern Branch, where they took
all the small change ne possessed, after
winch they brutslly assaulted him.
According 10 the lads story ne met
the two negroes shortly after IL O'Clock
last night while on his way home after
having attended the races at the
Coliseum. Despite the fact that the
streets in that section of the city are
poorly lighted, young Harper was sure
be could identify the men should they
be caught. After hearing the boy s
story Lieutenant Daley detailed four po-
lteemen to work on the case. and every
effort will be made to secure their ar
rest
Persons residing in the vicinity where
the assault took place have been inter

tives, detailed one of the detectives
from Headquarters to work in co-opera-
tion with the Ninth precinct officials in
hopes of solving the affair

The DREAMER in The CITY.

AS down the busy street pass.
Avoiding trucks and drays.
IN fancy can hear sweet songs
/ heard In other days;
I smell the apple blossoms and
take sudden jump
As some one rings a fearful gong
And yells: Look out. you chump?"
IN tender fancy I once more
Look in a maiden's eyes;
4 see the bushes on her cheeks
And hear her happy signs;
I see the lane in which we stood.
I breathe the fragrant air
And leap yard as some one bawls:
"You fool. step lively there!"
Ah, glad old days of long ago!
Once more seem to hear
The school bell ring across the fields.
In mellow tones and clear;
q see the path that winds away
Down to the swimming pool.
And some one grabs me. yelling: Cant
You see the car. you fool!'
The creek is flowing on out there.
And there the town boys still
Go wading where the bend Is, at
The bottom Of the hill,
And in fancy hear them shout.
AS here / fare along,
In luck to dream and not be killed
BY something with gong.

OF the few animals which now in
habit the woods and the hillsides per-
haps the badger is the least known to
the general public. He is nocturnal,
in the first place, and his coloring, be-
ing in broken tones, does not readily
arrest the eye. His head, chin and
neck are white, with brownish black
bands running on either side from the
nose over the eyes and ears. His up
per parts are light gray sprinkled with
black, the lower parts brownish black.
His forefeet are long and stout, his
limbs muscular, his jaw powerful and
his teeth sharp. In fact, he is well set
up, as far as these formidable weapons
are concerned.
The usual length of the animal is a
little over three feet, but in his family,
as well as in the human race, there are
large and small individuals. Take his
general appearance as he joys along
and small bear is at once suggested
to your mind. Many of his ways, too,
are bearlike; he will lie up in the win
ter and eat vegetable as well as animal
food. Some other creatures that are
supposed to be strictly carnivorous
will eat fruit when they can get it.

Odors md Diseases.

The Medical Record is authority for
the statement that the odor of new
mown hay is an indication of py9mia
typhus is indicated by an ammoniac
smell, jaundice by a musky one, vel
low fever by the odor of a bun barrel,
hysteria by a suggestion of violets or
pineapples, intermittent fever by the
smell of fresh baked brown bread and
measles by one like fresh picked feath-
erS.
In cholera the odor of the skin is am
moniacal. 1t is acid in what is called
milk fever, acetoformic in rheuma-
tism, particularly in the region of the
engorged calculations; of new baked
bread in scarlatina. In smallpox the
odor is that of the fallow deer; in ty-
phoid fever it is that of blood
1t seems somewhat incongruous that
the smell of the plague resembles
honey

How Bay Rum Is Made.

Bay rum is manufactured in Domin-
lea from the dried leaves of Pimenta
acris Bay rum is procured by distilla-
ton and this in a very simple manner.
The leaves are picked from the trees
and then dried. In this state they are
placed in the retort, which is then
filed with water and the process of
distillation is carried on. The vapor is
then condensed in the usual way and
forms what is known as ebay OIL" a
very small quantity of which is re-
quired for each puncheon of rum. The
manufacture of bay rum is carried on
at the northern end of Dominica and
proves very lucrative business to
those engaged in it, as the plants are
plentiful in this district.

Traits of Three Cities.

A Chicagoan may frankly tell you
that you are losing valuable time if
you live elsewhere than in his city.
His mental attitude is the result of
too much Chicago. A New Yorker pub
licly proclaims it that when you get a
few miles outside of New York city
you really cease to live and are simply
camping out. That is the result Of too
much New York. A Bostonian says
nothing, and you understand his mean
ing perfectly. You realize that he is
not saying whole volumes to you, and
you are powerless to dispute word
of it. You have a feeling that he is
plying you because you do not know
that Boston is all there is.-Nixon
Waterman in National.

Smoking in church is a Dutch GUS
tom. Dutchmen are such inveterate
smokers that one of them is rarely
seen without his pipe He finds him
self unable to deprive himself of the
indulgence even for the short period
of church service. A similar practice
exists in several churches in South
America. Smoking in churches in Great
Britain is said to have been prevalent
at the end of the sixteenth and the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century.
At one time smoking was carried to
such an excess in Seville cathedral that
the chapter applied to the pope for
power to repress the abuse. Urban
VIII, yielding to their wish, issued a
bull, which was promulgated Jan. 80,
1912.
In Wales smoking in church was in
dulged in as late as 1850 In one church
the communion table stood in the aisle.
and the farmers were in the habit of
putting their hats upon it, and when
the service began they lighted their
pipes and smoked, without any thought
of irreverence in the act.-Youth's
Companion.
