Rohhed the Preacher.

A thief. sacrilegeous but with a taste for homiletics, entered the residence of Rev Allen F. Moore, pastor of the First Christian Church. at No. 517 North Twenty fifth Street, some time between midnight and dawn this morning. He crawled over the family Bible, which reposed on a table near the window through which he effected entrance, leisurely examined the minister's cer- tificates of ordination. glanced over the heads of sermon which the minister Is preparing to deliver next Sunday. and departed with $6 and some odd cents. to say nothing of the edincation which he had incidentally received
 The thief ransacked the clothing of the divine. which was near the bedside, and abstracted two purses. In one of them were the minister's certificate and the skeleton of his sermon. These were found on the floor, carefully smoothed out and the presumption is that they had been scrutinized. In the other purse was $6. The marauder pocket ed both of these purses. as well as an- other belonging to the minister's little daughter, which lay on the manteI- piece. He then picked up the minis 4er's coat. vest and trousers and de- parted. Suffering from a qualm of conscience or discretion. however. he left the wearing apparel at the front door of the residence.
 Mir. Moore reported the robbery to the police this morning. Investigation of the premises revealed several foot prints near the window. These were of small shoes with high insteps. and the theory is that the burglar Is a white man.
