stIn Proving Around.

The slick burglar who has been proving
around Kingwood FOR some time and enter.
ing houses in different parts of the town, is
still at i, and will keept up Till he gets
nabbed or perforated with cold lead as most
of our people are laying for h.m now. Last
week he entered the Exchange Hotel one
night but was scared away by the barking
Of pet dog that was in the house. Ann
hurst, the home of Mr. aud Mrs. II. c.
Flylhe, was entered one nigh, while Mr..
Fly,he was away but Mrs Flythe being a
light sleeper, heard him aud getting up and
stirring around, frightened the intruder
away before he secured anything so far as
she could tell. Il is the general opinion
that the burglar belongs here in town or
close by, and Mrs S. J. Sterling, who saw
him when their house. was robbed, thinks
she recognized him and would know him
again IL she saw him. Our people should
be careful To lock their doors and fasten the
windows a, night and they will no. likely
be bothered as the rascal seems to be merely
sneak-Ihief and not an expert Of any kind.

from the Mitchell Republican which

hired to sneak in at night and load
their wagons from the cars and APP

the use of sand for teaching children
to write and form their letters is still
pracliced In some of the small schools
in the rural districts of the north of
England. Thousands of our forefa-

Artillery Not oh.olet<.

One of the lessons" which military
science was supposed TO have learned
from the war in South Africa was that
artillery could accomplish nothing In
field operations that could not he more
cheaply and expeditiously effected BY
rife FIRE. The comparatively small dam
age lone to certain carefully selected
positions after hours of b~ombardment
with highly explosive shells was cited
as evidence that all field guns, except
those OF the smaller machine types,
cost more than they were worth. The
record of the Russo-Iapanese war dis
proves this claim. During the last few
months artillery has always been an
important and occasionally a vital fac
tor in determining the issue of engage
ments. The story of the protracted
duel between field batteries at Tashi-
chao shows that the superior position
Of the Russiah guns long held an over
whelming Japanese force at bay when
rife fire would have been powerless to
have checked The attack. Brooklyn
