BURGLARY AS A fms ART.

No Longer Praeticed - safe Blowers
Now Mere Tramps.
Not many years ago the bank bur
glar was looked up 10 by other Grim
inals with something like reverence,
says the Kansas City Star. He was
regarded. In fact. as the true aristo-
crat Of crime. and was pointed at with
furtiye admiration upon the streets

tons when occasionally deprived OF
his freedom. Nowadays almost every
burglary that occurs In the United
States Is performed by common trampa
or hobOes
This situation is what the racing
men would describe as a startling ~
versal Of form. and Il shows 10 what
depth a once exalted profession may
fall when It passes out Of the hands Of
those associated with It's highest
flights. Indeed. as compared with the
exploits Of the old timers or tool
men, as they are technically known,
the burglaries OF recent days-or
nlghts-might be described a. petit
larceny. for 1t L. rare occurrence that
more than 5000 or 5000 has been
involved in feIonlous expeditions dur.

or imprisoned for long terms to blow

Few Of the oldti burglars are
ever seen nowadays. Some are dead,
many have retired to quiet and uu-

CANADIAN THISTLE
Must be Destroyed Accord
ing to Kentucky Statutes.

There has been a great deal said
about the Canada thistle within the
past ten er twelve years, but very
little done, especially in some sec
tions of the State. In this, as well
as other counties Of this section of
the state, the destruction of the
Canada thistle has been greatly neg
lected, Notwithstanding the fact it
is strictly against the law.
The spread of the thistle or weed
is very alarming in certain sections
of the state, and within the past two
or three years the growth of the
thistle has been very noticeable and
/ in some sections Of the state the
spread is becoming very alarming
1t is the duty Of every citizen in
the town, county and state to de-
stroy every Canada thistle as soon as
discovered. 1t is said that this can
be done by cutting down close to the
ground, but the best plan is to dig
up every bunch or cluster by the
roots and burn them. To cut them
down and allow to dry up on the
ground will do but little good.
There is nothing more damaging
to the farm and meadow than Cana
da thistles. 1t is almost impossible
to pasture stock where the thistle
gets a good start in the meadow.
On some Of the public highways the
thistles are overlooked and allowed
to remain standing.
Section 200 of Kentucky Statutes
says: 1T shall be the duty Of every
person or person, and of every cor
poration holding lands in this Com
mon wealth by lease or, otherwise,
on which any Canada thistles, or
weed commonly known as Canada
thistles, may be growing to cut the
same, so as to prevent such weeds |
or thistles from going to seed and !
the seed of the same from ripening. |
Any person or persons, or corpora
ton as aforesaid, who shall or may
have land as aforesaid in this Com
monwealth, and who shall knowingly
neglect or refuse to comply with the
provisions of this act, shall forfeit
and pay fine of five dollars, re-
movable before any justice of peace,
or by indictment in the Circuit
Courts of the State"
