Robbers at Work:

On Monday night robbber or
robbers visited several places of
business here and made fair
Gift. The places visited were
J. S. Lyons grocery and relieved
the cash register of Is cents. At
Godard's drugstore, the cash re-
gister was forced opened and the
robbers secured 81 or SIS in cash.
The saloon conducted by Toto Ell
mer was also relieved of SO which
was taken from the cash register.
j. o. Lege's saloon was entered
and some cash taken. j. 5. Lam
a. Co., appear to have been the
greatest loosers as the sum of $40
was taken from that place. In
each instance the robbers effected
an entrance by forcing the rear
doors of the stores. They must
have been well acquainted with
the cash registers as they succeed
ed in opening all of them except
Mr.. Godard's who has a peculiar
patent on his; but the robbers did
full justice to this register with

HOW MANY?

We read with interest a sympo-
SUM of bachelor opinion in re-
cent issue of popular magazine,
which had sent out to one hun
dred bachelors. four questions, of
which the following was one:
"What is your idea of the size of
a family?"
The replies covered many phases
of home life; some gave the actual
aumber of children they thought
the average family should claim;
-four, five, six; the larger the fam
lily the happier" etc.
It appears to us that the ques-
ton WAS put to the wrong party.
Bachelors, as rule, steer clear of
young children, look upon them
as necessary evils, through which
to perpstuate the race, and so far
as practical experience is concern
ed really know nothing Of the
pleasures or burdens of a family
of children. 1t is a we'll known
fact, however, that a real father,
40 matter what his financial con-
dition, or however much he may
deprecate the coming of a large
family, rarely, if ever, has one to
spare, aud will, If he be sober
energetic man, use his best endea-
vor to give them some advantages
OF school, dress and society.
Fashion has of late years de-
creed large family the sign of a
coarse, animal nature; besides,
very much in the way of progress
financially and socially; in the old
days, fifty, seventy, or more years
ago large families were the rule,
twelve children were common, and
father aud mother looked upon
the "quiver full" as an honor and
an especial favor of Providence.
Then the mother as a rule was
healthier aud happy, the father
proud and anxious to give his jew
els proper setting.
With the decadence of large
families there have come genera
tious of weakly, delicate women.
in majority of cases, condition
brought about by an effort to
thwart nature; some do this even
unto death. On the other hand
every thoughtful person realizes
that there are hundreds of chill
dren born who are detriment to
society, to morals and religion.
Children of criminals, of moral
perverts, of people too poor to
bring them up decently, and yet,
from this class has come some of
the greatest men and women of
our times.
After all, how the problem is to
be solved, remains a problem, for
who shall say to anyone, four, six
or more children is your proper

doesn't want even one, or it may
