Cambria postofflce Robbed.

The postoffice at Cambria, the first
station east of Humeston, on the K. &
W., was robbed Wednesday night of last
week, and $125 in cash was taken. The
postoffice is in Moore & Miller's store,
and the robbers opened the outer door
of the safe by working the combination,
and then blew open the inner door with
dynamite. A quantity of silk, knives
and razors to the value of over 500 was
also taken from the store, and also S.
or $40 from the money drawer. The
robbers escaped on a hand car, and it
is thought that they went toward Hum

the officers are all on the lookout, and
government detectives will soon be on
the trail of the robbers.

Farmers

Why remain in the North

The Game Of Guess.

The game of guess is played by older
boys and girls. Some might call 1t q
game of authors played without cards.
The players are lined up on q bench,
just as IL they were reciting lesson
at school. A leader, sitting in front, be-
gins to tell story, into which the
titles of well known books must be
made to fit easily. For instance:
"Once upon a time Little Dorrit'
went to pay visit at the House of
the Seven Cables She belonged to a
society Of Little Women who were go.
ing on "A Journey to the Center Of the
Earth for The Marble Faun,'" etc.
AS the title of each book Is mention.
ed in the course of the story the play
ers on the bench, in turn, guess the
name of the author. This is often very
puzzling, and the failure to guess cor.
rectly turns the unlucky one to the very
foot of the class.
1t makes no difference IL the story is
n short or a long one, provided it is
well known and fits in with the in
genuity Of the story teller.
This is good fun for a long rainy
day, and the girl or boy must be well
up in reading who can follow the story
without break.

HOME DEVELOPMENT.

In these days of prevailing social
ism, and so many other visionary
and harmful sms, II Is refreshing and
inspiring to read the sober words OF
wisdom which John Sharp Williams
utters In the house of representatives
and contributes to the leading period.
icals His latest contribution Is to
Golfers and treats Of the subject,
"Shall Jingoism be Permitted to
Starve Home Development ?" Edito-
rally Collicr's says; "Mr. Williams,
as minority leader, is tho unchallenged
head OF the Democratic party In the
house, unromittingly watching every
move on tho legislative chessboard
and aggressively fighting for the prir-
ciplos OF which he has been u lifelong
champion. He has represented his
State in six congresses and on every
important question that has been de,
bated In congress since he assumed
his seat has won distinction for the
profoundness of his study, the clear
ness Of his expositions, and the sound
ness OF his reasoning. The following
sentence from Mr.. Williams gives
some idea OF what he regards rs great
national blessings:
Fortunately for the Eng tish-speak
ing race that each mechanic has no
been compelled in France, Ger
many, Russia, and Italy = to beal

been necessary In the countries occu-
pied by that race to take out of the
fields Of industry and put into the
non productive field OF war immense
numbers OF men:
Here is some OF Mr.. Williams po-
litical economy:
"There is never enough money to do
everything with, not even when the
doer of things Is a fabulously wealthy
country like the United States. Every
dollar appropriated for one purpose
IL n dollar taken away from some
other purpose. Not only do immense
ornaments starve home development
In SO far as the Federal government
is an agency of that development, but
remotely it starves home development
In SO far as the states or individuals
are the appropriate agencies for It,.
Every dollar that unnecessarily falls
into the till OF the general government
to be unwisely and unnecessarily ex-
pended by that government, Is a dot
lar taken from some taxpayer in some
state, who is thereby deprived OF the
opportunity to use 1t for better educa-
ton, better shelter, warmer clothing,
more books, more music, more pic
lures, more flowers or more of some
thing else tending to material, intel
lectual, aesthetic or moral welfare.
1t Is also dollar less left with which
TO pay town, county or state taxes,
for good roads, good schools, good
bridges, improved sanitation or to
answer some other public purpose
good In itself"

A Clever Cat.

Professor Il. J.. Garner tells an inter
esting cat story. "a certain cat" he
relates, twas shut up In room where
there was a speaking tube which he
had frequently seen used in calling
people.
Desiring to get out Of the room, hay
ing no means of opening the door, he
climbed upon n chair near the tube,
erected himself upon his hind legs,
stcadicd himself by placing his paws
upon the back of the chair, placed his
mouth to the tube and began whining
and mewing into 1t.
ain this attitude he was found by his
young mistress, who was coming into
the room Mt the moment that he was
trying to call some one to his aid"

WELL FOUNDED.

1t has been rumored for some time
that the Mineral Point Zinc company
contemplated the establishment OF a
new plant somewhere in Illinois. That
the rumor was not without founda-
ton Is shown by the following taken
from the De Pue Republican OF
April Ia:
"Depue, according to present indi-
atlons, Is to be the coming manufac-
turing center. Agents for the new
company have paid out In cash for
real estate $S6, 900 dollars and options
have been taken on additional real
estate TO the amount OF $3.50 900. 1t Is
expected the new company will put in
plant that will cost In excess of
81 900, 900. The people OF the village
are highly elated over the recent turn
Of affairs. Since Thursday the agents
Of the company have paid $iS 900 to
Clark l.. Savage for his 2i0 acre
farm, $4,000 to the Depue Park
association, $40, 600 to William Harri-
son, besides numerous small amounts.
The options on the additional tracts
Of land, II finally accepted, will give
the company an immense territory
upon which To work
Surveyors have been ut work at
Depue for the company the past week.
Tho engineers have been busy prepar-
Ing maps, charts and plans, and
above 1t all Is IA deep air of mystery
The surveyors, even II they know
what Is coming, arc saying nothing.
The local agents OF tho company, who
have been assisting in the real estate
deals, 1t IL believed know nothing of
the nature Of tho new business which
Is to DO established at Depue. The
people OF tho town are busy making
predictions US to what IL will be, but
80 far mono of them have the inside
track. One mans guess Is rs good
AZ another's. The theory which meets
with the greatest favor is that the new
factory will be one for the mnnufac-
+ ture OF zinc.
Thcre is no longer any guess work
about the matter. The purchases
above referred to were made by the
Mineral Point Zinc Co.
