Two Kinds of Thieves

New York has another kleptomania case. Miss Emma
Page, the daughter of welltodo manufacturers went at
different times to department store and obtained goods
worth 5000 which she had charged to friends who had
counts at the store When the bills they were
repudated and after good deal of investigation Miss
Pages game discovered and she is under arrest
There is question to the facts in the case, but
much uncertainty to the motive.
Miss Page has accounts stores and has always
been literally supplied with money.
She not driven to dishonesty by need.
She is SO years Old has good educaton and should
be conscious of the wrongfunes of her acts and also
of the reasonable certainty of detection.
When arrested she offered to pay for the goods Not
until she arraigned in court did she lose her compos
Being rich, she has a 'famly physician' who has

says that the young has studied too much ever

will be herself again after little rest and quiet.
1t is common plea and has been effective many
time But in this the merchant declines to accept the
explanation and insists upon prosecution
People afflicted with melanchola of that dangerous
sort and needing and quiet ought find it
IN Jail There is provided precisely the rest and quiet
prescribed by law and usage for such cases.
When well-to-do people get dishonesty things that

When poor people are transgressors they are called
thieves

One wonders if the poor and needy to be
permitted to have melanchoia
Is it the want the need that marks the dividing line
between kleptomania and thievery? Are dishonored
minds to be found among the poor?

All the crime then. The poor devil who steals be

who has need and steals for the sake of stealing

If justice not blind she would sometimes require
rich thieves to be tried before uies instead of physicians

Scaler has developed remarkably in
the last few months. His infighting
has improved 200 per cent and despite
the dark mans long reach and eN-
perience the kid had the best of the
argument after the first three or four
rounds.
The peculiar style of fighting, while
clever and good in its class, was not
appreciated by some of the ringside
spectators, who wanted to see some
long distance smuggling and mixing,
They simply couldn't appreciate the
kids fine work at close range.

knockout, although both reached
the spot repeatedly. 1t was Burrows
round up to the last three or four
seconds, when jerry charged in and,
rushing Jim to the ropes, had the
game boy from Fernie in a bad way
with his head wabbling from side to
side with vicious, stiff rights and
lefts when the bell tapped for the end
of the mill.
1t was this condition of the fight
, that caused many to think that Jerry
ought to have had the decision. But
that condition had happened several
times with the same result of Jim
coming back to even up with fierce
body attacks when Jerry would break
ground.
In my opinion, Eddie Quinn did the
right thing in declaring the fight a
draw 1t was a difficult and trying
! position to be placed in. but l think
/ the decision was all that could be
! expected from an honest and consci-
! entious referee.
l respect Eddie Quinn more than
| ever for the decision as | know that
! his most intimate friends had their
money on Mccarthy to the limit and
that any referee could have found
sufficient support to have given his
decision the way the money lay. 1t
stamps Quinn as an honest, consci-
!
cool judgment instead of getting
ratified through the yells of the crowd
Mccarthy was a badly disappointed
man when the draw was announced
The instant the bell tapped he went
to the front ropes and stood expect
ing the decision. My sympathies went
out to the game fighter when the
decision came and he turned to his
corner. Yet l think Jerry gives full
credit to Eddie Quinn's honesty in the
matter.
There is no question that Jerry hat
the edge on Burrows for many rounds
Nothing but the wonderful endurance
and gameness of Jim and his grea
powers of coming to at critical times
saved him.
But Burrows developed amazingly
toward the last and he came VI
stronger and better and even up mat
ters, although he never gave Jerry
the equal punishment, after the fifth
round, until the last three rounds.
Whatever slight advantage there
was belonged to Mccarthy, yet thai
advantage was not sufficient for {
square referee to base a decision
against game Jimmy Burrows.
That second draw is worth more
money to both men than close de
cision would have been. There are
partisans who will declare Eddie
wrong. They have some grounds fol
their views in so far as they are
right in believing Jerry had the bet
ter of some of the rounds. But t.
the impartial observer the rounds
were fairly even up toward the last
and draw was doing more justice
to both men than a Mccarthy de,
cision could have done.

That was a sure fight last night
between Jerry Mccarthy and Jim
Burrows. 1t was fight every second
of the 20 rounds. Never since the
Britt-OKeefe fight in Butte have l
seen more continuous smuggling of
the hardest kind than that last night.
AS a mill it was every bit as good
as the Britt-O'Keefe go, which stands
as one of the harest fought and
earnest fights of modern pugilism.
For the first five rounds there was
the stiffest kind of punching. Each
man went in determined to end the
dispute of superiority and punch out
the other fellow. Because of the
hard, fast work and the terrific
punching, no one could figure out at
that time that the fight would go
more than 10. or. at the longest, 10
rounds. The bruising, battering blows
from each man were of the heavy,
Earring sort which wears out the man
giving as we'll as the one receiving.
But Jerry and Jim are both cracker
Jacks in the way of gameness and
endurance and their rugged condition
made it impossible even for such stiff
punches as they used to allow a
speedy ending. Neither scored a
clean Touchdown, but once Mccarthy
went down from a slip and a glancing
blow.
For the first five rounds Mccarthy
discarded his crouch and used a
straight left which. all through the
battle, he got in repeatedly without
returns, using it more to open with
and following with hard right and
left swings to the jaw. With the
left lead he only occasionally tried
for punishment, using it mostly as
an opener and following with light
ming like rights to body and then
left to nose and mouth. The left was
effective mostly on pointing, but at
times Jerrys superior strength show
cd when he would sweep it around
and brush Burrows guard aside,
landing lightly, generally on the
cheek. With it,.too, he cut Burrows
over the right eye and brought the
blood from the big nose.
Burrows showed he had profted by
his former experience with Nc
Carthy and he developed a new of
Tense and defense. using a boring in
crouch himself and after the first five

everything, and each year she is COM
plimented by the inspectors upon the
fine appearance Of the lighthouse
When Mrs Murdoch was appointed
keeper the lighthouse was an old fash
toned frame building. The present
stone lighthouse was erected in 1868.
There she lived and brought up her
three children.

Mrs. MurdoH, speaks Of one in par
ticular. 1t was about forty-two years
ago, before the bikes were built. A
schooner had been lowering below the
light for some distance. After the gale
the schooner was found in front of the
lighthouse with its bowsprit penetrat-
ing the door Of the building
While to most people the life would
be dreary, Mrs. Murdoch has enjoyed
it. The living apartments are cozy

For almost half century now Mrs
G. A. Murdoch has been the keeper of

all these years she has kept the big

On June II, 1856, her husband was
appointed keeper Of the lighthouse by
President Franklin Pierce. Mr.. Muir

An excellent idea for holding the
shirt waist down is to sew along the
waist line at the back four brass rings,
arranging them at short distance
apart. The rings must first be covered
with buttonhole stitch In silk or cot
ton thread, preferably the same color
as the waist. Through these rings q
linen tape Is threaded, which is
brought around the waist and tied in
front This will hold the waist down
and does not give the strained look
that Is so often seen when the waist is
pinned Another satisfactory way Of
holding the shirt waist and skirt to-
gether is to sew a row Of hooks to the
skirt and an equal number Of eyes,
mounted on tape, to the shirt waist
at the back. Four hooks and four
eyes are sufficient to use. For the
shirt waist that Is loose at the bottom
and not gathered to At the figure many
girls use instead Of a belt merely a
piece of elastic with a hose supporter
hook at one end and the eye finishing
the other end. This elastic belt helps
to adjust the fullness and keeps the
waist in place without any pinning.-

double saucepan six ounces Of sweet
almond Oil, then add to it four pretty
large cucumbers which have been pre-
viously washed, dried and cut into

cdcumbers. Cook slowly for about
four hours, then strain and to six
ounces of the liquid add one ounce Of
