STOLE PERSONAL PROPERTY.
DUsKY MAID FROM HAGERsTowN
ENTERED HOUSE OF ma. ODEN.
Carried Away Watch, valued at SO
and other Property-Obta Goods
Under False Pretenses.

Alice Brown, dusky maid, who is
said to have bailed from Hagerstown.
was arrested bv Constable Lemen
Wednesday on the charge of entering
the house of Archibald Oden. which
is located few miles from this CITY,
and carving off number of articles,
belonging to him.
The offense was committed last week
while Mr.. Oden was in this city on
business, as she had selected a good
time for her deed, she seemingly
knowing the surroundings. She was
seen 20 enter the house by the neigh
bors. and they reported the matter to
Mr. Oden, at first not knowing
whether she was employed there or
not. He then made an examination
and discovered that she had taken with
her watch and wearing apparel.
He had the warrant sworn out and the
lady was captured.
She entered the house without
breaking, but nevertheless it is pen
itentiary otfense, and she will no
doubt get full benefit of the law. She
was placed in the county Jail to await
a hearing before Justice Roberts, the
time of which has not been set.
When arrested, she admitted that
she had entered the house. but that
she had only taken book that was
living on the table and not the articles,
as she was accused.

Death of a Little Girl,

On January 2, 1908, our loving
Savior took from us our dear little sis
ter, Luc3tta Hearn, who was so near
and dear to us. Her sufferings here
were very great but she bore them with
much fortitude. She was IL years
and 10 months OF age. She leaves a
loving mother, five sisters and many
loving friends to mourn their loss. But
weep not dear ones, for she is at rest
for we have great hope. For the Lord
said, "Suffer the little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for OF
such is the Kingdom of Heaven"
Dear ones, weep not, for your dar-
ling. She is safe in the arms of Jesus.
Some sweet day we will go to meet her
where parting will be no mole.
Sweet little bud of heavenly birth,
Too frail to bear the storms OF earth,
It's chilling winds and rude alarms,
The Saviour took her to His arms.
One precious to our heart has gone,
The voice we love is still, =.
The place made vacant in our home,
Can never more be filled.
SISTER MAUD.

Not Afraid of M ice.

With the trend of progress that char.
acterlzes the present age, one is not
surprised to hear of something new al.
most every day. But whoever dreamed
that the time would come when a wo-
man could encounter mouse without
giving vent to her feelings OF horror by
shrek and bound?
Mirabile dictat, such has occurred right
here in the common, every day life of
spirited Scotland Neck. It was on this
wise: A saleslady in store was show
ing another lady something from a
box when a mouse hoped out, and be-
hold neither lady screamed. Then an
other mouse sprang out, and mouse
number two was followed by mouse
number three and would you believe
it?mouse number four sprang out of
the selfsame box and all four of the
harmless e? mice were creeping and
skipping around the two said ladies and
neither one screamed, shrieked or "hol-
lowed -
Well-what we want to know is, did
such ever occur before, or will it ever
occur again?

DISLOCATED HER SHOULDER.
Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus

shoulder. She had surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore aud panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlainis Pain Balm ad-
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy her bottle OF
it, which he did. It quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which she
had not done for several days. The
son was so much pleased with the 70
lief it gave bis mother that he has
since rec mmended it to many others.
