Hen Thieves Made Their Ap-
pearance Last Night--EarIy
Car Jumped Track.

Between and 10 O'Clock last night hen
thieves paid a visit TO tho hen roost OF
Amos Wilcox on Hoppin avenue and
stole a half dozen or so OF Mr.. Wilcoxs
choice fowls
Mr.. Wilcox went away from home Tor
a few hours. leaving the premises about .
O'Clock. Al that time the fowls were all
there.
He returned home about 10 O'Clock and
was dismayed 10 find that several of his
hens were missing They were fancy fowls
and more valuable than the ordinary run
OF hens
The police we're at once notified and a
strict watch for suspicious looking people
was maintained. but it failed 70 disclose
anything In regard 10 the identity OF the
thieves
Sergeant Bickford Is working on the
case today and he thinks that he has a
clue but nothing 10 warrant any definite
action has yet been learned.
JUMPED THE TRACK

accident was caused by some ice I'm the

car was gotten upon the rails again and
proceeded on it's way TO the city. No se-
rious damage was done.
KILLED BY GAS.
Dead cells are being found in the river
in this vicinity in large numbers. IL is
thought that while the surface OF the
river was covered with ice that the Ice
prevented the escape OF the gases and that
this gas IL what killed the eels. For time
the gas also permeated the CLANS along
the shore 10 such an extent that several
persons were made sick by eating them.

perhaps his pride will be touched a
hit that there is no ship to represent

Abuse OF the System:

A young woman was advised not
long ago to take physical exercise
out of doors. With an exclamation
of disgust she proceeded to relate
how, after a morning of close con-
finement at Office work, she took a
hurried lunch and at once rushed to
a series of appointments, the distance
between which amounted to several
miles. 1t was explained that this was
not exercise in the proper sense of the
word. 1t is impossible to digest food,
to exercise severely, to prosecute bust
ness and to do all well at the same
time. -.
The woman who wants to preserve
health to old age must exercise her
muscles and brains so that each day
shall receive proper amount of solid.
steady work, and, what is equally i'm
portant of rest. If she feels herself
lacking in physical strength she may
be absolutely certain that by the use
of what muscular power she has she
will gain more. = 80

When the American marines and
the Colombian troops recently con-
fronted each other at Colon it looked
for a time as If battle was to be
fought on the pier Of the Royal Mail
Steamship company.
The pier is rather an unusual place
to fight battle, but battles have been
fought in many curious places, rang
ing from mountain peaks to sewers,
from ice fields to desert sands.
At the battle of Monterey, in the
Mexican war, the Americans were
able to command the streets of the
city with their artillery, but they had
difficulty in dislodging the Mexicans
from the houses. So, the city being
built of stone or adobe in solid blocks
of houses, the Yankees broke through
the walls from one house to another,
fighting and driving out the enemy.
so that the battle of Monterey was
largely fought indoors.
In one of the battles of the wars of
William the Silent for the independ-
ence of the Netherlands, the Spanish
ships were frozen in on thee Zuyder

Loose, belted back coats are very
fashionable for walking suits.
The dropping shoulder line is most
fashionably imperative at present.
Tiny ruches. now very smart
trimming feature, is an old fashion
revived.
The passing of the long coat by
spring is confidently predicted by
fashion wisacres.
The prevalent idea in dress just
now is to have everything loose and
comfortable.
Ruffles such as were in style in 1880
now trim the skirts of the smart
house gown.
Newer by far than either tucks or
shirrings are the old-time gaugings
and smockings.
A feature, wholly new, upon the
coats of tailor gowns for dress wear
is the high girdle.
Except for strictly rough-and-ready
gowns the swagger sleeve is almost
two-thirds lace.

Fiqht Where They Are

back over the ice and attacked them.
This is probably the only battle in
which cavalry was used directly
against ships. Several other combats
were fought between troops on the ice
in these wars, and on one occasion
the infantry is said to have worn
skates.
The battle of Austerlitz was partly
fought on frozen lake, and when the
allies were retreating across it the
shot from the French artillery, plung-
ing into the ice and breaking it up,
caused the death of thousands of Rus
slams and Austrians.
OF the many underground battles
which have taken place in, history, the
fiercest was probably that of the siege
of Harlem in the Dutch wars. The
Spaniards mined and the Dutch coun-'
termined with equal industry and be-
low the ground fierce conflict ragged.
When the Versailles troops took
Paris after the Commune they chased
some of the Communist troops to the
great sewers of the, French capital,
where some desperate struggles took
place.

Symbol of Our Might


sands of years, he will see, high up
above the Bosporus. on a bluff of the
western shore, the buildings of Robert
college, founded and sustained by
Americans. They face the stream and
the opposite Asiatic shore. Just be-
meath them at the waters edge are the
ruins of two ancient forts. that have
played their part in many wars.
There, floating above Robert college,
the stars and stripes kiss the breezes
and the beacon light Of liberty and ed
ucation shines forth. What more
glorious symbol could there be of the
land we love and Of. the idea that
makes that land great and powerful
an idea of which the press is, and is to
be, the chief defender and exponent,
as surely as the pen is mightier than
the sWord?"

There is no portion of the human
system which is not benefited by ex-
ercise taken in moderation. 1t is
law of nature that the exercise OF
functions result in an increase of their
ability. Muscles become larger by
exercise. Brain matter, by constant
intellectual employment, increases in
weight and the brain cells" become
greater in number.
On the other hand, any function
may be wrongly employed. When a
muscle is constantly used to excess 1t
atrophies, or becomes smaller. The
brain. if held too closely to its task, at
length refuses to act.
There are many things that tend to
pervert the uses of physical exercise.
1t loses it's effect, for example, If en-
ployed at improper times, as imme-
diately after a meal; by being too
hurried and short, as when one PUSHES
to catch train, or by being so pro-
longed as to produce extreme fatigue.
