A Midnight Adventure.

Elkhart Und) Review.
A well-known Franklin street lady had
an unusual experience as a housebreaker
after returning from the Winona excursion
Friday night. She found her home dark
awaken the inmates remembered that her
husband was probably at lodge and the
any effort of which she was capable. She
then tried all the doors and windows and at
last discovered the bathroom window was
unfastened. She crawled in, but met dis
appointment in that the bathroom door
was locked from the other side. Another
attempt to awaken the boys proved futile
and she utilized the garments hanging in
the room to make a bed in the bath tub.
About midnight her husbands opening the
front door awoke her and her cries to be
let out startled him, but matters were soon
explained and adjusted.

FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY
JAMES l.. THOMPSON WILL BE HELD
BY POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Charles Christie, n Railroad Man, De-
clares Thompson Held Him Up in
Big Four Yards.

James L. Thompson, who was recently
arrested by Detectives Kinney and Morgan
and sent to the county jail on a lettering
charge, will be released from that institu-
ton, it is said, and will be prosecuted on
charge of highway robbery. Charles
Christie. railroad man, yesterday filed an
affidavit against Thompson charging him
with robbing him in the yards of the Big
Four Railroad of watch and about 50 in
money.
When Thompson was arrested on the
lettering charge it was thought that he
was wanted in Chicago for robbery, and
recent letters from that city show that he
robbed man there of a pocketbook con-
tanning a railroad ticket from Chicago to
San Francisco and $3.50 in money. The pock-
etbook was found in his possession, and
the ticket, it was learned, had been pawned
with a local saloon keeper for S.. Had 1t
not been for the affidavit issued by Christie
Thompson would have been returned to
Chicago for trial soon as the authorities
there came for him.

The Position when Sewing.

Philadelphia Record.
Sewing, as women usually sew" said
dressmaker, lis injurious to the health and
to the appearance. 1t occasions indigestion
and headache and it makes the shoulders
round, the chest hollow and the complexion
muddy. But there is no reason why this
should be so. There is a right way TO sew
and wrong way and she who pursues the
right way arises from her machine after
days work comparatively fresh. If she
has worked har0 she is weary, to be sure;
but her WEAKNESS is understandable the
WEAKNESS OF the golf player. I should say
that the rules for sanitary sewing are:
First. have the sewing room perfectly ven-
tilated. Second, never sew on a rocking
chair, because such a chair cramps the
chest. Third, in cutting at the cutting
table. in sewing on the lap. and in stitch
ing at the machine, bend over, but bend
over only from the hips. Fourth, breathe
all the time with long deep breaths. These
rules adopted two years ago. Their adop-
ton has rid me Of dyspepsia and Of nervous
headache"

A Metropolitan Tragedy.
New York Times.
There was tragedy in his eyes. You see
he was very much in love, was poor. but
proud.
He stood facing the girl, his face set in
the lines of blank despair.
She looked at him calmly. There was a
mild regret in her expression nothing
more.
You promised me faithfully" he said.
Not alone in his words but in the intensity
OF his voice could she read bitter re-
preach
q am sorry" she said simply. 81 did
not know that you really cared so much.
If you would only wait-if you would only
give me little more time"
Il have been waiting longer than most
men could bear My trust i'll you was new
er shaken before Now, when my hopes
have been raised to their highest pitch"
But lest the reader misunderstood we will
explain that the man was not in love with
the girl to whom he was talking. She
is agent for a laundry and has promised
that his laundry would be done that aft
ernoon. Her promise is unfulfilled and the
man will not be able TO call on The Girl
with whom ne is in love.
Sadly he leaves the office of the laun-
dry lingering the two dimes which will just
pay for a telegram to The Girl, saying that
he is Ill.

Automobiles Prank.

c. r. Hough, of the Lexington flats, on
North Capitol avenue. is at loss to ex-
plain how his automobile. which he leaves
at night on the street in front of the apart
ment building, gets on the sidewalk before
morning. He says he locks the wheels so
that 1t would be impossible for any person
to use the machine and as 1t weighs about
100 pounds IL seems improbable that any
persons would be anxious to life ii any dis
lance. Yesterday morning the automobile
was lifted to the sidewalk and note was
left in the vehicle stating that Mr.. Hough
would be arrested If the automobile was
left on the street again over night. He
asked the police to investigate the matter.

healthy color and spirits. How many wom-

suggestions to Shoppers.

Odd cream pitchers, some quaint, others
just pretty, are shown at one store for
15 20 and Is cents.
A hundred-dollar dinner set has a quiet
but very stunning decoration of gold picked
out with just bit of red. All the pieces
have a conventional border and the set is
a charming combination Of elegence and
daintineSS.
The pretty Japanese ferneries are little
odder and newer than the others and are
very attractive for the summer veranda or
parlor. They are decorated with quaint
Jap figures or flower designs, are a little
taller than the usual fernery-rather like a
Jardiniere-and are not particularly ex-
pensive.
Slim medallions about two inches long,
either all white or blue embroidered with
white, are, very effective decoration for
linen frocks. They cost but 60 cents a
reaches a long way. They are pretty
things for next years gowns If the time
has gone by to purchase them for this
years.
Bulgarian edging which comes in pretty
vandykes with a lacy edge is one of the
loveliest Of the summer trimmings, and is
so fine and dainty that it might well grace
the dressier winter gowns without Offend
ing anybody's taste. Nothing more effec-
tive in trimmings is shown than these Bull
garian embroideries and they are growing
in popularity, despite the waning of the
season.
Lavender wells first, and now red wells,
are the faddy things for draping -nilady's
hat There is little lavender chiffon in
town, but like the good time it's coming.
and red wells, too, are rather hard to find
here. A pretty lavender face veil with
big black dots is shown in one shop, but
so far Hooser feminenity has passed 1t by.
If the lavender fad hits us hard, however,
as we are warned it will. that like all other
violet-hued things, will be eagerly sought.
A number of colored stocks are being
shown among the later displays of neck
wear, instead of the all white ones of earlier
summer. pretty one is of natural color
linen combined with pink. with a touch of
black embroidery and a plentiful sprink-
ling of black French knots. The stock of
plain outline with double or single tabs for
the front is the favored style. though in
spite of the plainness of cut there is fire.
