STOLEN GOODS
ALL RECOVERED
Police Do Clever Detective
Work Two Boys Under
Arrest.

Through the clever detective
work of Chief Of Police Bailey
and Captain Helmer, all the prop.
serty which was stolen from M. G..
.Slocum's store a week ago last
night, has been recovered, and
two young boys, Charles Harmon
and Lawrence Gilman, are under
arrest charged with the crime.
1t is suspected that four or
five other boys were implicated
in the theft and the police expect
to make more arrests in a short
time.
The robbery was a battling one
and the typewriter, the accordion,
the three flutes and other arti-
cles, which were taken seemed
lost for good. Chief Bailey and
Captain Helmer set to work, how
ever, and soon found a valua BILE
clue. It led them straight to the
home of young Gilman and a
search was made of the house,
The typewriter was found un-
der the bed, the accordion was
discovered in a trunk and in the
chimney, cleverly concealed be-
hind brick and paper, were the
flutes.
The boys are being held at the
police station waiting the action

CONSOLATION.


Mrs. Jefferson was not more than
thirty-five years of age, and she mad
spent fourteen years OF married life
in India She had seen three OF hef
children buried in an unhealthy sta
ton, and had been to England onoe,
seven years before, to take two little
girls home to be educated. 1t was on
her return voyage from visiting her
children that met her. lEsqgs
She was so much less aggressive
than most Of the women on board,
and demanded so much less attention,
that it was restful to al lazy man like
myself just to sit quietly by her deck
chair, share my books and newspapers
with her, and enjoy nay evening cigar
by her side. Mrs. Jefferson did not
object to smoking; she seemed SO diff
dent, so humble and lnexacting that
! found myself wondering what the
man must be like who was her hus-
band, and hoping that he was not a
selfish brute who sat upon the little
woman. She was not communicative,
and found out very little about her
during our long chats. Perhaps am
egotistical and talk a good deal about
myself when I get a patient listener.
Be that as it may, CLEANED nothing OF
Mrs. Jefferson's own history from he1,
and at last determined to ask the
captain of the ship il he knew any
thing about her. @
ut is odd that you should ask ME
that" said Captain Hargreaves, "for

call Mrs. Jefferson to my recollection.

collected the circumstances immedi-
ately. fs5s

OF course-all their little condolences

Have Publie's Stamp Of Approval.

The fact that alcohol is necessarily
used In some medicines as solvent
and preservatiye has been made the
basis for vicious attacks on the whole
proprietary medicine system. That
these attacks are not OF honest pur-
pose is shown by the fact that under
the sweeping Indictment are included
all patent medicines, whether they
contain alcohol or not.
The household remedies which have
stood the test of time and which
are now to be found in practically cv-
ery home in the country ought not to
have been included in the attack at
all. for they are not, in any sense, al
coholic compounds They are the fav-
orite prescriptions OF prominent
nhysicians, which have been so sue
cessfully used in private practices
that it has been necessary to make
them in large quantities in order to
supply the demand for them.
The editors Of the magazines which
are making attacks on patent
medicines have taken no account or
the fact that the public, after years
Of solid practical test, have given
them the stamp Of their approval, nave
taken them into their homes and
could not do without them, and be-
liere in their virtues because they
have been often proven.

Brooches, PantalOons and Trousers.
"Breeches," in the strict meaning of
/, that term, were worn by the semicivi-
lized men of the east long ages before
a single page Of the New Testament
was written, having been quite COM
mon among the Modes and Persians,
the Phrygians, the Gauls and the leu
tons. Brooches were very brief" ar
ticles Of apparel, scarcely covering the
hips in the majority Of instances and
never reaching nearer than six inches
Of the knee.
"Pantaloons' were exaggerated
forms Of stockings reaching from the
hips to the ankles and as tight fitting
as a pair Of knit drawers. They were
usually Of three different colors-black
at the hips, red from hip to knee and
blue to the termination at the ankle.
They came in vogue during the first
half Of the fifteenth century at Venice
and were worn by the devotees of the
patron saint Pantalo0n. Such gar
ments were always called pantalini BY
the Italians.
Trousers" the only proper word to
express the existing styles In pants y
followed closely after the knee
breeches" Of the Revolutionary period,
being first worn in England at Oxford
and Cambridge in 1912.

And Piles don't know to this DAY
hat Crane put up job on him.


that Crane put up job on him.
Senator Crane was talking with a
group of friends in the senate lobby
when Senator Beveridge came hustling
ont of the senate chamber. Beverage,
az is we'll known, regards himself as
an A No. 1 bit Of presidential timber,
and all the senators know it. Crane
called to Beveridge and introduced him
to his friends from Massachusetts,.
I'VE were just talking about you."
he said to Beverage. These gentlemen
are all prominent in New England
politics and give a good deal Of time
to the political game. We were just
saying that Fairbanks seems to have
the inside track for the nomination in
1908" Beveridge hates Fairbanks as
much as Tillman hates the president
but we agree that you will be about in
line in 1920. AS a matter Of fact l
and that most Of the senators take this
yiew-all but Dillingham;, and I think
YOU ought to talk to him right away"
.Irl do it," said Beveridge. And he
straightway hunted up the Vermont
senator to persuade him to fall in line
for Beveridge in 1920. The 18th is.
Beveridge don't want to wait that long;
he thinks the party ought to choose
him at the next national convention.
Senator Ankeny, Of Washington, is
VIGOROUSLY the most silent man in the
United States senate. Speech-making
is not in his line. He has never made
a speech in the senate, and probably
never will; he doesn't even make them
in his own state. One afternoon the
proceedings in the senate were unusu-
ally dull. Senator Flint was presid-
ing. Senator Crane came in from the
lobby, looked up at Flint, then went
to his desk. In a few minutes Senator
Flint received an unsigned note, deliv-
cred by a page, which read:
"Ankeny demands recognition. He
insists upon his right to speak"
Crane had disappeared into the cloak
room, and was peeping through the
door. Flint smiled. cast an inquring
glance toward the senator from Wash
ington, who was patiently listening to
the speech in progress. Then he set
tied back. Pretty soon another note
was carried up to Flint:
"Ankeny threatens to cut loose with
out recognition, unless the chair per-
mits him to speak"
By that time Flint was on, and the
notes ceased. Senator Ankeny was all
unmindful of the fun that his COL
leagues were having at his expense.
for the notes soon found their way out
into the cloak room, and those who
read enjoyed a modest laugh. The
thought that Senator Ankeny was de-
voured by a desire to make a speech
was too much for the sedate law-mak-
ers.

II became noised around the senate
that Senator Piles. of Washington, was
burning large quantities of midnight
oil over a speech which he was pre-
pairing to deliver on the rate question.
Crane heard of it, and he knew that
Piles would speak on that phase Of the
question which was not endorsed by
the Massachusetts senators. Piles had
nearly completed the preparation of his
speech when Crane drifted around one
day. and fell into friendly CONVERSE
ton.
SAM" said he, for he is anything
ties. do you know Flint, of Califor-
mia, very Well
Piles said he did.
Well" went on Crane, FLINT is
working up speech on the rat>Ques-
ton Now, n you are a friend Of
Flint's, you had better advise him not
to make that speech. He is new sem
ator, and so am 1. and in my brief
service here / have discovered that the
old senators do not look with favor
on a new senator who insists upon
making set speeches on national issues.
l like Flint, and l don't want to see
him hurt himself by making that
. speech; but l don't know him as we'll
as you do, and 1 think you better speak
, to him.
A strange expression crept over the
face of the Washington senator as he
swallowed a lump that rose in his
throat. and he finally promised to have
talk with Flint. But Crane got to
Flint first; he told him what he had
done; said he knew that Flint was
not contemplating making a speech
but took this manner of heading off
Piles When Piles did come around
Flint at first demonstrated. but finally
agreed that it would be unwise to
speak. and Piles went away. in a sense
relieved to think that some other new
senator would, for the sake of policy
withhold his views from the anxious
voters Of the Pacific coast.

Droll. homely Murray Crane, of Mas
sachusetts, seems to get as much en-
joyment opt Of life as any member of
the United States scaate. His entire
time is not spent in seeking pleasure,
but he devotes his idle moments. when
the business Of the senate Is dragging,
to pure enjoyment, is the report that
comes from the national capital.
Murray Crane might be set down as
a practical joker, though he does not
carry his jokes beyond the safety line.
He knows where to stop.
Senator Crane. it should be said in
passing is beyond doubt the best
mixer" in the senate. Though new
senator, he is personally acquainted
with every member of the body. and
he has no hesitancy about approaching
any senator on any subject. Were he
a newspaper man he would stand at
the head of the profession, for he has
a wonderful faculty for gathering in
formation that is beyond the reach of
most men,.
When the Philippine tariff bill came
over from the house it soon developed
that several members of the Philippines
committee were not friendly to the
legislation. Senator Lodge. who had
the bill in charge, was able to learn
the pos ition Of most members Of the
committee, but he was hardly acquaint-
ed with Senator Nixon, of Nevada,
and did not care to approach him on
what he considered a delicate topic
So he went to Crane and asked him
if he could find out how Nixon stood
on the Philippine bin.
Sure" said Crane, and he immedi
ately walked over and sat down next
to the new senator from Nevada
Nixon" he said, without any prelimi
naries Senator Lodge wants to know
where you stand on the Philippine bill"
"Why, I'm against it," was the frank
reply.
Crane went back, reported to Lodge,
and the senior senator from Massachu-
sets was dumbfOunded to think that
his colleague could work out such a
delicate problem in so short a time
Lodge belongs to that school which
believes no senator has a right to
abruptly ask another senator his views
on any question:; he resorts to diplom-
acy, and sometimes spends hours in
conversation trying to lead another in
to telling his position. Crane takes the
direct route.
