sleeps over the store. In Mr.. Trudeaus 5
room there is a register which looks

the clerk matched moment through
this and saw a man tamperlng with
the lock. Trudean leyeIed his revolver,
but the man stepped out OF range for
a moment As quick az he came IN
sight again Irndeau fired, the bullet
entering his head just behind the right
ear, killing him instantly. Mr. Irudeau

"ToEYs STRUGGLE"
Subject Of Interesting Address by Jacob
Riis Last Evening.

Barre people in goodly numbers, q
considerable delegation from Montpelier
and the club women who have been at
tending the State Federation convention
in this city were enabled to listen to
Jacob Riis, reporter, lecturer and slum
reformer, at the Barre opera house last
evening. Mr.. Riis came to fill last
seasons engagement with the lecture
course association, having been prevented
previously by the illness Of Mrs. Riis,
who has since died. Supt. Mathewson
introduced the speaker who chose "Tony's
Struggle" for his subject.
As Mr.. Riis speaks with peculiar
accent the audience spent several min.
utes trying to get acquainted, but when
they did accustom themselves to the
speakers voice and mannerisms they
were we'll pleased with the presentation
Of the struggles OF the slum boy of New
York as told by one of the prominent
workers among them. Twenty five years
as police reporter followed by active
work in uplifting the young men, gives
Mr.. Riis personal experience. This
experience he told in his graphic style,
keeping the audience interested for near
~ tNQ HOut6t
The speaker maintained that there are
three things which shape the boy, a. the
home, l2) the public school, and CD the
chance for play, the safety valve, as Mr..
Riis called it, Of the boys pentup enthu-
siasm. Yet New York is a homeless
city; e.fourths of the four millions
| live in tenements, and tenement life
makes for unrighteousness and corrup-
tion of the young. Then the speaker
told how this comes about in New York.
The public schools of New York are
largely sausage machines, ], he declared,
where the children are GRAINED full OF
mere facts, much as the sausage skins
are GRAINED full Of filing in the markets.
The public schools are more or less Of a
political foot ball. And finally the boys
chance for play is cnrtailed by the sign
Keep OF the Grass, which adorns every
ten foot plot of land in the tenement
region No wonder, Mr.. Riis asserted,
that the bays bent IS toward criminal
Iity. The tendency is in New York to
teach q boy disrespect for law. He quot
ed figures to show that 75 per cent OF
the boys in the Elmira, NY, reforma-
tory are absolutely devoid, or almost
devoid of moral sense

Spain's King a Hutnorist.

Spain's youthful king is still, 1t
seems, very much Of boy, at least In
spirit. He is apparently too closely
welded to his bubble" to care to con-
slider seriously any other sort of mar
riage, while authentic report has 1t
that every once in awhile he drops
unexpectedly into the unconventional
in way productive of much embar-
rassment to his encourage.
His latest prank was played In the
great cathedral at Leon, to which his
majesty paid an unofficial visit recent
ly. He had gone into the organ loft
for Alfonso's education has made Of
him an organist of ability as well as
fluent linguist-and had begun to
play a chant when, with no warning
whatever, he switched off into sharp
military march, at the same time call
ing out in a loud voice:
"'Tention! Quick step! Marchr'
Priests and suite were for the In
stant too surprised to do anything but
gasp, and the next minute there were
the solemn strains Of the chant again,
with the hearty laughter of the king
heard beneath them.

This he takes in his carriage or in his
crib, and these are never, never jog
gled or rocked. He is placed fiat on
his back for his bottle, and must net
be moved for one hour after. He is
not expected to be a soundless baby.
In fact, he is, as it were, if necessary,
made to cry for a portion of the twenty
four hours. The German nurse makes
him entirely comfortable and then
leaves him entirely alone. In a short
time he shows signs of impatience and
sets up lusty wall, thus giving his
lungs the needed exercise. There is lit
