HIGHWAY
ROBBERY
Occurs Near the Railroad Tower House,
Stranger Being Robbed of Gold Watch
and Sum of Money.

At late hour Monday night a
stranger complained to some of the
Baltimore 4 Ohio officials here that he
had been robbed that night, but his
name was not learned and the police
department knew nothing about it, the
fellow having not taken the pains to
tell the officers of the city about it.
He said he was sitting by the tower
just west of the passenger station and
thought he had possibly fallen asleep.
when suddenly he was aroused by some
one divesting his clothing. Before he
was thoroughly awake the robber mad
secured his gold watch and chain and
s35 in money and made his escape be-
fore he could take steps to latch or
resist him. There is no clue. and as
the fellow shows some indifference in
the matter. it is probable the highway
man viii not be apprehended.

MANIPULATING THE KEYS.


Ny Sarah AIMS a beauty, there isno doubt
of that
She dresses in the most bewitching style;
Her frock Is most becoming, and likewise
is her hat
When we go out all nature seems to smile.
She's got a grand piano which claims her
time at night.
She plays 1t with the very greatest ease;
call on her each evening, and always take
delight
When Sarah Ann manipulates the keys.
MY Sarah AIMS no sluggard, she works
hard every day,
And working brings the roses to her
cheek;
She's in u lawyers office just over cross
the way,
And earns her fifteen dollars every week.
She owns her own typewriter, and does her
work up well.
And all the day she's busy as the bees.
] like to sit and watch her, and hear the
little hell
When Sarah Ann manipulates the keys.
I'm looking to the day when she VIII be
my loving wife.
That happy time is not so far away;
/ hope I'll always love her, as | do love
my life,
And never have an unkind thing to say.
For me, she says. no latch-key In winter
spring or fall,
No matter If plead on bended knees;
] think ! see my finsh-I'll not get out at all
When Sarah Ann manipulates the keys.
