| Three soldiers performed n bold act OF
stealing from the depot restaurant sun
day night. At an early hour in the even
ing they entered the mems waiting room
OF the station and carried away "a show
case from the counter of the restaurant.
The restaurant is operated by Walter

case contained some Sl2 or slj worth OF
tobacco. playing cards, etc. The men
took the case n short distance 10 the rear
of the ice house at the hotel. j. ii.
Douglas saw two of the men standing
there and saw another join them He
also heard the breaking of glass but
did not think much about il. One OF the
men called out something Ike Hello
Joe" or rs that you joe" ana he not
being Joe did not reply. Upon returning
from the school house he found the men
near the residence of r. ]. Parker. one
asked him what time 1t was. He then be-
came suspicious and notified Mr.. Parker
and they watched them a short time and
saw they were carrying something. They
then gave warning to Deputy Sheriff
j. II. Allen but by that time the men had
disappeared Word was sent to Fort
Ethan Allen and number of men were
sent to the village to hunt for them
They were found at tho fort and placed
in the guard house there until Mon

THE POPULAR VOTE.
President ROOscvcIt Pollcd the Largest
Vote Ever Given,

New York, Dec. 12--The New York
Times to-day says:
"A canvass by the New York Times OF
the popular vote at the last presidential
election, complete except as to one county
in Tnnessee and four counties in Mich
lgan, for which estimates are given,
shows that President Roosevelt defeated
Judge Parker by 2.5i6,169. He poled the
largest vote ever given for a President
of the United States, 76i0.5G0. This is more
than 400. 900 in excess Of the vote cast for
Mckinley in 1900.
THE official figures for Missouri show
that Roosevelt carried that State by % 900
votes. In Maryland one republican cleo
tor received the largest vote but his col
leagues were defeated. The dmocrats of
Maryland will. Therefore, have seven votes
in the electoral college, while the republi-
cans will hav but one.
A comparison with the popular vote
tables of 1900 shows a marked change
in the socialist vote. Debs, tho can
didate of the party that year, was also
the candidate this year, and his vote
shows an increase of more than 800 COO.
Watson the popuist candidate, ran
strongest in his own State. Georgia,
whore he received y, e35 votes. He re-
ceived most Of his votes in the South
and West but only one was cast for him
in South Carolina.
The total vote is given as 12.J3i1l9, and
that for each Of the presidential cam
ddatos is given as follows: Roosevelt,
republican, 7,Gio,J6O; Parker, democrat .,
oA,39l; Dcbs. socialist, $685. Swallow,

DEATH A young warrior was about to
be married, hut just before the we'd
ding his bride to be passed away. Her
lover was almost insane with grief.
He would not be and could not be
comforted. AS he was grieving his
life slowly away he heard by the camp
fires of his tribe that there was path
leading to the south which if followed
would bring traveller to the land of
the departed spirits No sooner did
the young chief hear this than he de-
cided to go and seek his lost love. He
tourneyed on and on until he left the
snow covered mountains Of the far
north. He journeyed on and on until
all the trees Of tho forests were full
Of singing birds aud all the fields were
fragrant with ire incense swinging
flowers.
In that southland instead OF the elk
and the moosc md the grizzly bear the
fawns came out of the woods to lick
his hand. He i1Irneyed on and on un-
til he came to great gulf of still wa

sooner did his canoe leave the shore
than another white canoe just like his
own came alongside, III which was she

We say that John Harvard's life was
n mighty life for good. From the little
seed he planted has grown up the
greatest university In all America. He
was a poor clergyman who died early
in life, but the few hundred dollars
and the library Of 300 books he left to
endow Harvard college have had glo
rious harvest. Thousands upon thou
sands Of homes have been blessed by
that college gift long after John Har-
ward passed away. The history Of John

the AppletonsA the feelings of public man at formal dinner. After cele- brating the lavish hospitality of the South before the war, where all the viands were set on the table at once, he says;
 Tt has happened to me several times in my life to be arrested, convicted and sentenced to dine with other we'll dressed convicts, male and female, at a swell dinner-one of those formal functions where solemn fiunkies bring you one thing only at a time to eat. When you have pecked away awhile at that one thing, whatever it may be, solemn fiunkies take 1t away and bring you aonther plate and some other thing to peck at for while.
 Sometimes 1t happens that this one thing Is a big, defiant-looking tomato. To sit in ones chair, gazing at the last course which the hunky has just put on; to realize that this entire course consists of a solitary tomato, looking fiery red and raw; to glance along the table and to realize that all the con- victs, male and female, have one to- mato apiece and are trying to look cheerfully at the convict boss-the host has overwhelmed me every time 1t got the chance. The scene is heart rending."
