FINDS HIS STORE LOOTED
Trouble, of stCrekeeper Are Coming Much
Faster Than is His Due.
BOYS GIVE HIM A CHASE IN THE EVENING
store Robbed At Night, but Fortu-
nateIy Most of the Goods Are Re-
covered-BOys Are Credited
with the Job.

e. Pill. who conducts a small general
store at Twentieth street and Sixth avenue,
has for some time been on bad terms with
a number OF boys in that neighborhood. The
boys in question have seized every oppor-
tunity Of annoying Pill and as far as pos
slble making life a burden to him. The cli-
max was reached Thursday night when the
gang Of youthful tormentors invaded his
place of business and started to raise a
rough house. Pill, anxious to get rid Of
them, gave chase to the gang, but they we're
too swift for him and he gave up the pur-
suit.
He returned to the store out Of wind and
likewise short on patience, and decided to
close up the store for the night. When he
opened it up yesterday morning he discov-
cred that during the night the place had
been robbed Of about $50 worth of goods.
Not only had the thieves made way with a
quantity OF mittens, underclothing and
canned goods, but evidence was there to
show that they had held carnival in the
place. They left traces to show that while
in the building they had enjoyed an i'm
promptu supper of pie, canned goods and
other delicacies supplied by the store.
Pill estimated that the goods taken from
the store amounted to about $50. With the
exception Of some cheap .jewelry the police
yesterday recovered most Of the stolen
goods. Part OF the plumber. consisting Of
the mittens and underwear, was found in a
freight car on First avenue, while the
greater part of the balance of the stolen ar
ticles was found under the electric light
tower at Twenty-1rst street. Some of the
canned goods we're recovered nearby on
Fifth avenue. The police are of the opin-
ion that the robbery was the work OF the
boys who had been tantalizing Pill, and sew
eral arrests are expected today.

mission was to reform the world. Hancher
finally escaped. The student was secured.
He became demented from overstudy. The

Theodore NJ. Bachelor, who recently off,
cred a somewhat sensational resistance to
being evicted from the Bachelor home
stead near the city limits, is now in a po-
sition where the raids of deputy sheriffs
will have no more terrors for him.. BY the
death Of a relative in New York Theodore
Bachelor becomes heir to an estate OF
which his portion will be at least. $4,000.
His brother, William, former owner OF
the Meadow Lawn property, Is also heir to
an equal amount. Mrs. William Bachelor
within the last few weeks secured a divorce
from her husband on the grounds of deser-
tion, and therefore will not receive any
benefit from this legacy. Her children, how
ever, will participate in the amount ,appor-
toned to their father.
The Bachelors were among the earliest
settlers in Pottawattamie county, first set
thing in the eastern part near ..Avoca, and
later removed to this city. They came here
from New York, where they belonged to a
wealthy and prominent family.

She looked very old and tired as she
went feebly about getting supper and
for once she forgot to set open the
front door. She remembered it as she
was going to sit down to her supper,
and she hurried to open it. A
young man was just coming with
springing steps up the path between
the daffodils-a sturdy young man,
with yellow haired baby in his arms.
She looked at him aosently, but he
ran forward and caught her.
Mother, mother, don't you know

After, supper she went over to the
Whipples. Tom sat out under the ap.

but Toms baby was clinging to her
with one dimpled hand, while the
other was full of daffodils. Miss Mar.

She was looking ashamed, yet de-

Gently in regard to the new vogue OF
snuff taking. The habit is supposed
to be becoming most prevalent in aris-
tccratic quarters in the West End and
is even ascribed to the most august
personages, but there is little real
foundation for these stories. The Lon
don snuff dealers do not report any
noticeable increase or new sales. The
manager. of the largest snuff factory
in London says:
THE trade has been a decreasing
one for many years. There is ten
dency recently in an upward direction,
hut I am afraid that snuff taking is
diving habit. l attribute the decline
to the advent of the white handker-
chief. In the days of the yellow and
red bandannas the snuff did not show,
Tut nowadays it is mostly old gentle
men who use snuff frequently. /
hear from dealers who do not want
more supplies as their old gentlemen
customers have died. Persons who
work in places where they cannot
smoke often carry snuff, such as COM
positors."
Outside of the snuff takers. indicated
above, snuff is often seen in England
in clubs and saloons. What slight in
crease has been noticed in the carry
ing of snuff boxes has been attributed
to the influenza epidemic, snuff being
recommended for it.-New York sun.

chance. That is why Holsters are SO
scarce.
/ Several schemes have been tried
tending to educate the lobsterling to
better things and to reserve the eat.
ing Of mankind. The latest, and the
only one that has met with success, is
now in operation at the Wexford cul-
ture station. It has been successful
because it doesn't give the lobsterlings
time OF opportunity to fight or eat one
another.
AS soon as they are hatched the little
Holsters are placed in big circular
net and let down under water along
side the Fish Commission boat. They
remain in the net until they are old
enough and wise enough to know bet
ter than to fight and devour one an
other, being constantly churned around
and around by set Of paddles in the
net worked by machinery from the
boat.
The churning process keeps the lob
sterlings constantly moving around
and around the net day and night. If
the machinery was to stop the young
sters would promptly make for one
another and begin fighting. AS it is,
the machinery doesn't stop, and so the
Holsters have too much to do dodging
the paddles and trying to keep head
on" with the current to engage in
pitched battle.

Ronts Conc. Rule lives On.

Much fun has been poked at the Gu
rious survival of many ancient rules
and regulations in England, but one
of the most delightful examples OF fall
ure to keep abreast of the times is
seen on a notice board affixed to the
Serpentine boat houses in Hyde Park.
This notice has been recently re-
painted. It regulates the hire of sail
ing boats on the lake and the number
of persons they may carry, and pro-
vides, also that each boat be sailed by
a professional boatman.
AS all sailing boats were removed
from the Serpentine by order of the
authorities twenty-five years ago, it is
a bit puzzling to those who read to un-
derstaud why these regulations should
be so carefully repainted year after
year, unless, perhaps, red tape would
prescribe. an act of Parliament as nee
essary to doing away with these regu-
lations.-New York Herald.

old English fair, which seemd to have
died OF it's own disgrace. Arrange
ments are being made for big fair at
Kensal Green during the coronation
week. On the 4S acres of ground
which have been secured by the COM

van dwellers, the majority of whom
will help entertain the thousands OF
spectators who, it is hoped, will be at

will be the roasting of whole oxen

much larger scale than that held at the
time of Queen Victoria's coronation,
