Medals For Soldiers

BY virtue of a power conferred on
the Governor by the Legislature, Adj
utant General Riggs is now arranging
for the distribution of service medals
to certain members of the Maryland
National Guard The act provided
that medals should be awarded to the
enlisted men who have served for nine
years or longer. The Adjutant Gen.
eral is negotiating for several designs
of medals. which will be of bronze.
Ii is expected that they will be ready
for distribution in the next two OF
three months. The fact that the
militiamen are to receive these tokens
in recognition of their faithful SER
vices. it is believed, will increase the
interest of the mil itiamen in the ser
vice.

CDR. Iekyll and Mr.. Hyde. >

Thomas +. Shea under the manage

play an engagement at the Colonial Thea
tire this afternoon and tonight, Saturday
December 10Th, when he will be seen in
Robe Louis SteYenson's famous story
of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde and strong
romantic play of the three gu rismen
type entitled Banished by the King. The
former ay was expressly dramatized
for Mr.. Shea by Eugene Thomas The
story relates the researches in the annals
of medical science by certain doctor IN
England named Jeky ll, who claimed that
in man there are two physical natures
and by aking a certain portion, the main
ingredient being a salt which he discov-
cred, that all good in man would vanish
and the body would as ume hideous
shape, in keeping with the evil inten-
tions that the human race is heir to. In
order to prove this theory he experiment
ed upon himself, and 10 and behold the
transformation actually appears and in
stead of the lovable, kind-hearted DR..
Jekyll, he becomes the horribly distort-
ed, murderous Hyde. He has tried this
experiment so often that he finds he is

ly to prevent b m from remaining in the
ugly shape. The strain is so great from
possessing such horrible secret knowl-
edge, that it tells on him and he finds
himself growing melancholy and morose.
His condition Is noticed by his sweet
heart, the daughter of Sir DanVers Carew
who chides him for his downheartednGss.
He claims that II is overwork and prom
ises TO shake off his gloem. On one OF
bis visits TO the Carew mansion, he feels
the change is about to take place. he
excuses himself, intending 10 return
home, but before he has walked three
rods the horrible form of Hyde takes
possession of him. He retraces his steps,
striking terror and CONSERVATION into
the hearts of the passers- by, enters the
house and strangles the father OF his
tiancee, Sir Danvers Carew, and escapes
detection. London is Mortified and the
hue and cry is raised to unearth the per-
petrator of this foul deed, but all of no
avail as seated in doctors otfi in the

A Poor Market

Owing to the great depth of snow
and the impossible condition of many
of the roads. many of the farmers who
generally come into town on Saturdays
were badly missed today. Chickens.
eggs and country butter were very
scarce and all kinds of poultry found
ready takers. The fish market was
found also, in a very unprepared state.
Many of the boats were forced from
the fishing grounds by the thick
weather and brought in practically no
fish.

Anyone who has ever watched a heavy
uird rise from the ground has doubt
less noticed that it runs along the ground
for few feet before it rises; the bird
must acquire some momentum before
it's wings can lift its heavy body into the
air. The natives in certain parts of the
Andes understand this fact very we'll and
by means of it catch the great Andean
vultures, the condors. A small space is
shut in with high fence and left open
at the top. Then lamb or a piece of
carrion is placed on the ground inside.
Presently a vulture sees the bait and
swoops down upon it, but when once he
finds he has alighted on the ground in
side he cannot get out, for he has no rum
ming space in which to acquire the mo-
mentum that is necessary before his
wings can lift him.

the average annual saving or addition
to capital therefrom at SIS per head.

THE PHILOSOPHER.
There's an old box-bordered garden
In The fields Of mnrnry

There's an old box-bordered garden
In the fields of memory,
Where the roses used to Chamber!
And a silver-maple tree,
When the winds would softly touch 1t
With kiss in passing by,
Turned its silver-sided garments
With a whisper to the sky.
There were holIyhocks presenting
In each graceful swaying cup
Draughts of dew rs clear. as crystal
Till the sun should drink them up;
And 4 post stood in the garden,
Whence n heavy weighted chain
Reached the gate SO when it opened
1t could pull it shut again.
Weighted gates are precaution
Used where little children are,
Weighted shut so that mere childhood
Cannot quite push them ajar;
So the chain kept us in bondage
Where the blue birds used to sing;
But we made OF 1t a pleasure,
And We used it for swing.
And that lesson taught in childhood
Bore its fruit in later years;
Bounds obdurate Fate sets for us
Soften not to sobs and tears.
But the very bonds that hold us
Hold wealth of JOY in store
For the seeker as the chain did
Where we swung in days of yore.

WHY THE RICH STEAL.
Its Victims by u French
Alienist.

Kleptomania has cropped up again
in France under different name. The
Parisians call it magasinitis, and this
new-fangled appellation for the fash
ionable" complaint is due to DR.. Du-
buisson, the famous brain phys1-
clan.
The doctors investigations, says the
Chicago Tribune, have resulted in the
establishment of two facts: 1. That
women as delinquents are in an enor-
nous majority; and (2) that the Of
tense itself is consequent upon Gu
rious condition of the mind. 1t is
stated that more than 80 per cent. of
kleptomaniacs are of the female sex.
In nine cases out of ten the offenders
have been proved to be quite we'll to
do, and not infrequently wealthy. 1t
would have been easy for them to have
purchased and paid for the things
stolen. Which presents another prob
lem: Why should those who are rich
stoop to robbery? The goods pur-
Joined are generally found ininjured.
undisposed of, and often actually I'M
used
Let us, however, look into the cause
Of the disease as described by DR.. Du-
buisson. In the first place. the physi-
clan is to be felicitated upon a clever
epigram. Lady kleptomaniacs are
women without hearts, who dupe men
without heads" smart" saying
which contains more light philosophy
than literal truth.
i A man can scarcely be called fool
because the pockets Of his clothes do
not happen to be SO constructed as to
prevent the entrance Of a felonious
. hand! But the doctor can afford to
have his epigram cheapened, for he
POUNDS his deductions upon thorough
understanding of the character of the
eternal feminine" The cause of
kleptomania arises less from the in
dividual's morbidity of temperament
than from the alluring array of every
description of dainty and fashionable
attire abundantly displayed on the
many counters of all mammoth shops.
The grand magazin is chef d'oeuvre
of deliberate temptation tending to the
seduction of the least susceptible. The
finery everywhere around her arouses
all her coquettish ambition and stimu-
lates all her cravings for comfort. Not
only may she gaze on this gorgeous
ness, but she is permitted to handle the
pretty things unhindered, unobserved.
/ What more easy than to pop into ones
parasol or pocket some small object Of
value? From the innumerable articles
Of similar kind in stock cit would
never be missed'-as the average KEEP
tomaniac would argue.
The only remedy lies, of course, in
arranging shop fronts and showrooms
with a severity that would satisfy the
disciples of William Penn and in for
bidding people to finger the wares. But
the cure would be worse than the COM
plant. 1t would bring rapidly dwin-
ding profits, a diminution Of patronage
and bankruptcy of hundreds of busi-
ness houses
