Value Of 5000 are Carried Away
In Sack.

the robbers. who entered through a
rear window. carrying away cutlery of
the value of $500 and S1.95 in money

Presumably the parties who have
been operating in Davenport the past
month. during which period two hard
ware and two jeweIry stores have been
entered. have shifted to Rock Island
as the base Of their operations.
However. the men who visited the
Stewart place were not entire strang-
ers. for they made il point to do the
job between the visits of Peter Hay
man. the night watchman. Hayman
tried the iron shutters guarding the
alley windows at , o'clock. He re-
turned at 500 and found those at the
police. and ii was discovered that the
stock had been ritled.
Familiar With the surroundings.
To release the clasps securing the
shutters it was necessary 10 run a stiff
wire under the bottom of the shutter.
and the burglars must have ascertain
ed in advance the exact location of
these hasps in order TO facilitate their
operations. The shutters swung, a
jimmy was placed under the lower win
dow. The Jimmy was worked until a
! hold was had on the SASH and then it
was borne down or, the lock holding
the window swapping under the press
ure.
There was no light in the store
There is street lamp on Second ave,
nue. in the middle of Eighteenth street
and this keeps the front part of the
store for several feet back nearly as
bright as day.

are probably a dozen knives bearing
the Stewart & Montgomery monogram.
This was formerly the name of the
firm. These are good knives. but have
been in stock a great many years. If

Death Of Mrs. Mary E. Martin.

This beloved lady and old
time residentof Brookhaven pass
ed from earth to Heaven on Mon
day morning at about 5 o'clock,
after a lingering illness and days
of unconsciousness just previous
to dissolution.
The self-immolation, patient
love and steadfast endurance of
Mrs. Martin, under the test of
binding sorrow and poignant
affliction throughout years and
years of her beautiful life, should
be portrayed in letters Of gold on
the. whitest pages of history. Her
latest years were spent in minis
tering to her bedridden daughter;
and, although in that time death
came and trials pressed as in lives
more active and more public, she
maintained through it all, and to
the end that serene equipoise and
beauty of character that marked
her as one of Christ's chosen ones.
Memories of her life will be q
benediction always in the hearts
of her beloved and loving ones.
Mrs. Martin, who was the Wild
ow of the lamented DR.. j. M.
Martin, leaves three daughters
motherless Mrs. Hattie Sherman
and Misses Mamie and Maud Mar
tin, to whom sympathy goes out in
tenderest love from hosts of
friends and devoted neighbors.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at II o'clock yesterday
morning at the home of Mrs. II.
M. Sherman, By Rev. G. w. Girls
Ter, pastor of theMethodist Church,
and was largely attended, after
which the interment took place in

The History Of Coffee.

Coffee is so necessary to human
happiness nowadays that il is
hard TO believe that its use dis 4
beverage dates back only d few
hundred years. Yet most Of the
things that we of the twentieth
century call staples tea, coffee,
cocoa, sugar, potatoes, sweet pota-
toes, corn and many others are
comparatively young in usage,
so that one often wonders what
in the world the folks of oIden
times lived upon.
The value of coffee is said to
have been fist discovered by an
Arab who was banished to the
desert where death by starvation
was thought surely to await him.
When he was found alive several
months after it was regarded as q
miracle until he showed the tree
whose wonderful berries had
Yielded him food and drink.
Coffee Immediately leaped into
favor-so much that one of the
Mohammedan caliphs forbade
its use on religious grounds,
arguing that it made mortals so
contented with their lot on earth
that they neglected to prepare
their souls for Paradise. A later
caliph, however, who was great
lover of the cheering cup, revoked
the odious edict.
Coffee drinking did not become
an established custom among the
Western nations of Europe until
we'll into the sixteenth century.
The greatest possibilities of the
beverage, however, were not dis
covered until four hundred years
later, when Fortress and
Grown" coffees were first offered
to the trade. These cofees are
produced by blending several va
rieties of coffee, thus yielding a
drink compared to which the
SGralgnC ARABIAN QecocClOn was
rank and unsavory.
The drinking quality Of these
two Incompatible brands is such
that they might well come under
the ban of Mohammedan asceti-
cism. We are justly proud of
them--but not more SO than the
hundreds of housekeepers who
serve them.

remedy for colds and Group, we have
never been without it in the house
since that time. We have five child

with good results. One good feature
of the remedy is that it is not disagree

it. Another is that it is not danger

HUMoR OF THE HOUR

a farmer living not far from Phila-
telplia sent to an employment agency
n that city for farm hand. The agen-
~ notified the farmer that one William
Collins would arrive at his place the
following morning in time for break
fast. William arrived as promised and
in excellent season, but nst quite early
enough to assist with the smilking. He
was about seven feet tall and slim as a
hay fork.
When he took his seat at the break
fast table and really got action ON, the
family laid down their knives and
forks and stared. 1t was evident that
William had missed several meals be-
fore he arrived, for he put away every
thing in sight.
Perhaps you had better eat your din
ner, too, while you are here" suggested
the farmer sarcastically as he observed
his new hand looking wistfully at the
empty plates.
Maybe it would be good idea," said
William in pleased tone.
The farmers wife cooked more food
and placed it before him. His dinner
disappeared with the same rapidity as
had his breakfast. But when he had
finished he made no motion to leave the
table.
Probably you could eat your supper
now Also" said the farmer, whose
amazement had given place to wrath.
'I'm sure of it." answered William,
and he waited contentedly until the
farmers wife cooked and set before
him his supper. When this likewise
was gone the farmer said peremptorily
snow, get to work as fast as you cam"
"Oh, no. said William as he arose
lcisurely from the table; 81 never work
after supper. "-Lippincotts Magazine.
