Wilmington aobbcd by pro-
festionRls.

The postofce at Wilmington was en-
tered Tuesday morning by burglars,
who blew off the safe door with n ttro-
gylcerine and stole 5000 in money, $4Oo
worth of postage stamps, money orders
to 800 and all of the prt-
vate papers kept in the safe by POST
master A. II. Jones. These included
bank books and insurance policies.
When Postmaster Jones went to the
office in the morning he was astounded
to find that the door had been forced
and the safe blown. He at once not-
fed the local officers, but they have not
found an important clew. lhey believe
the job was done by professionals.
People living across the street from the
postoffce building heard noise about

your dictionary" suggested Mr.. Dole,
quietly pointing to a small and sell
dom-used book that lay upon the
desk.
Master Dunton was puzzled. Could
it be that the minister, learned man
though he was. presumed to cast
doubt upon the spelling-book?
But he began to turn over the
pages of the dictionary, and at last
he announced. rather pompously,
Here it is: 'y-i-t-a-l-s, victuals-the
parts essential to life Nothing
could be palmer than that"
Now will you look it up the way
George spelled it," asked Mr.. Dole,
with a twinkle, in his eye.
The masters face fell, and he re-
newed his search, with a secret fear
at his heart.
This time there was no note Of tri-
umpl in his voice as he spelled out,
a-l-s-food for human be-
ings."
Then he turned again to the other
word, stared at it moment, shut the
book, and pronounced his verdict:
George is right, and have made
stupid, inexcusable mistake
THE best of us are liable to mis-
take" said the minister, reassuringly.
Master Dunton made no reply, but
walking deliberately to the desk, he

will you step this way?"
Il want doing anythin'!" protest
ed Joseph.
No, / am the one to be punished
this time. and l must call on you, as
the oldest and largest scholar, to at
tend to it," and the teacher handed
the ruler to the unwilling Joseph.
Il don't want to do it, Mr.. Dun
ton," said Joseph, with look of grief
such as he had never shown when
called upon to take the subordinate
part in the performance.
Il do not like to punish, either"
said the master, "but what of that?
It is often my duty. Now must be
punished for my good and the good
Of the school, What did say would
happen to the first one who should
make a mistake? Would you have
my promise broken? I cannot carry
it out myself, but you must help me-"
So saying, he held out his palm, and
Joseph, not knowing how to refuse,
let the ruler fall lightly upon it.
THAT is not the way that | have
taught you," said the master, smiling
grimly. Lay on, Joseph" And the
stalwart youth, thus urged, warmed
to his work, and finally did full JUS

perhaps that will do" said Mr..
Dunton, at last, withdrawing his af-
fiicted hand and rubbing it gently
with the other. II thank you, JOS
eph. And now we will proceed with
the lesson" He looked round for
the minister, but that worthy man
had slipped out of the door, perhaps

JEWISH LANDOWNERS.
In Europe They Hold 24S Times as
Much as They Did 40 Years Ago.


The anti-Jew faction in Russia de-
clares that even with the present re-
strictions the Jews have managed to
acquire large portion of land, for
which the following figures are
quoted in the Jewish magazine, the
Menorah:
within the Pale the real estate
of the Jews advanced from $4,000
dessiatins in 1850 to 14S,000 in
1870, $4,000 in 1880, $4,000 in
1890, and to 1,265,OO0 in 1900.
I'm the kingdom of Poland the
Jews held $1,000 dessiatins in 1860.
14S,000 in 1870, 100000 in 1880.
$4,000 in 1890, and 1,265,000 in
1900.
I'm European Russia outside the
Pale Jewish landholding is said to
have increased 24S times in forty
years in the following proportion:
In 1850, 5000 dessiatins; in 1870.
$4,000 dessiatins; in 1880, $4,000
dessiatins; in 1890, 100000 dessia-
tins, and in 1900. 745,o0O dessia-
tins"
According to these statistics the
total holding Of the Jews through
out the Russian Empire, which only
amounted to 10000 dessiatins in
1860, reached in 1900 the high fig
