SALOON WAS ROBBED.
Burglars Entered James Burns Sa-
loon Saturday Night.

Some time Saturday night burglars en-
tered the saloon OF James Burns at 4l6
East Douglas avenue and succeeded in
footing the place. carrying away about
$50 part IN silver and part il bills. Moth
ing Sc was disturbed.
AT midnight MI Burns closed his saloon
pacing the money in closet and locking
the coor. he placed the key in a drawer
behind the bar and after turning the key
in the back door of the saloon went out
the front way He has followed this plan
every night and for this reason the po-
lice have the idea thar the robbery was
committed by someone familiar with Nj
Burns habits.
Sunday morning the back door Of the
saloon stood wide open and upon inveSti-
cation the theft was discovered. Ntr.
Burns has two theories regarding it. He
saws IL would have been an easy matter
for thieves TO have secreted themselves
In the back part of the saloon until af-
ter he had closed. then could have So
cured the money and made their escape
through the back door. Another and
more practical theory is that the thieves

pIumber Hated to Give Up.

There has just been buried at LODI,
in Poland, a centenarian named Jacole
Belcher. for whom a record might
almost certainly be claimed. Accord
ing to the Cracow papers he was
plumber and had reached his 10th
year. That alone should carry him
high in the list of "Old Parrs," but the
fact-if fact it be-which is probably
without precedent is that at the age
of 112 he was still following his trade.
At this time he fell from the roof Of a
house, where he was repairing some
lead piping, and sustained injuries
which disabled him for the past three
years.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.
Irishman's Philosophic Comment on
the Lose of His Legs.

Irishman's PhiIosophic Comment on
the Loss of His Legs.
Gov. Odell OF. New York, tells this
story Of a Newburg parson we'll known
for the extremely optimistic view he
takes of other mems misfortunes. One
day this hopeful divine was called In
to administer spiritual comfort to an
Irishman who was lying in the emer-
gency hospital at Fishkill Landing.
The poor fellow had lost both legs in
an accident in a stone quarry, and was
taking what the sanity doctor con-
sidered an lmpassioned view Of his
prospects. Come, my good man,
said the parson, cheerfully, 'it's the
loss of a pair of legs, to be sure,
but it's not so bad as it might be-"
"Shure, dunno but you're roight,"
replied the fellow glumly. "Twould
have been dom sight worse If I'd
been a chorus girl"
