Robert Keown and family of Cen
tire Bridge Pa, had thrilling ex-
perience Tuesday night when they
returned home and found burglars
hidden in the gairet of the house.
The discovery was made by Mrs.

and the burglars sprang from the gar
ret to an adjoining roof and made
their escape Money amounting to
1925, which was thought by the family
to have been safely hidden in the attic
was stolen together with gold watch
an oyercoat and some other articles.
Not two weeks remain for holiday
shopping and hence great rush is ex
pected in the stores. The Lambert
Vile stores never shovel off to
such advantage as this year. They
are splendidly stocked and the decor
alive effects are distinct feature. All
the indications are for excellent trade
incident to Christmas, for Lambert
ville's list of patrons now covers
wider territory than heretofore owing
to the trolley line extensions, and IN
addition money il fairly plentiful.
We would remind our readers of the
wisdom of shopping during the morn
ing hours in order to secure better at
tention from the clerks and better OPP
portunities TO examine goods.

do so the delivery service will be dis
continued. It is stated that any one
of twenty different kinds will answer
the description of the regulation
box, and that prices range from so
cents to s5 The department will fur
nish list of them on application. 1t
is said that the order is in the interest
of facilitating the delivery of mail and
safeguarding the service.
