Meanness Of Theft.

A man who has been rifiing the mail
boxes Of at least one city has been
caught. He was apprehended as he
sought TO cash check he had found
in his loot. The fellow deserves long
sentence, for in this peculiar form Of
crime there is contemplate mean
ness absent from some petty offenses.
To steal letter with money or
check within may be no worse than
other forms OF larceny. but there are
concomitants that add to the gravity
Of the act. The mail thief does not
discriminate. With access to bag or
box. he takes whatever packets come
to hand. and those that are worthless
to him he casts away. The letter that
never comes may lead 70 the tragedy
OF broken friendship. It may impair
credit. In It there may be some mes
sage Of priceless import. Happiness
and prosperity may have depended
upon its safe delivery. About all these
things the thief has not care. Mis-
niyes perhaps more precious than their
weight in gold are to him rubbish. In
destroying them he may be doing
greater actual harm than in diyerting
negotiable property. Everybody is in
terested in the safety of the mails-no
less than others those who never in
trust to them anything but written
words. When a letter has been prop
crly stamped and deposited, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, the. sender has a
right to be secure in the belief that
It will reach its designated place and
not be rihed by wretched thief. II
such thief is caught the necessity Of
making an example OF him Is obvious.
Compared with him, the ordinary pick
pocket seems almost desirable ele-
ment Of society. He is the lowest type

GET RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable II to
Do Its Work.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies i'll it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter.
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other ill effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
aud discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritablcness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just rs soon as the stomach ia
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs q tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourish,zent.
