The sunset last night was a blending OF

Twas amethyst golden and blue
But midnight was jet and the cioudbanks

'Gainss walls OF Plutonlan hue
The Thunder God bowled pond rous

Down stretches OF armament rent.
The lightning leaped high In the turbulent

The woods, like the willows. were bent,
Our lives, like the sky. go in chaos awry,
Our Gains in our tempests are lost
But morn's beacon comes to Uplift from

Our hopes that were shattered and
tossed
For midnight. so dun, cannot shadow the

OF morning. the blithesome and bright
The bonny. blue sky with its haze drift

In light that is struggling and wan
No matter the dark; there'll be sun with

DIR. Calmette and M. c. Guerin, of
the Pasteur institute, of Lille, France,
have just communicated to the
French Academy of Sciences the re-
suits of experiments in vaccinating
against infection with tuberculosis.
They find. says the London Times,
that if they cause calf or kid to
swallow at As days interval two
doses of 5 and 25 centigrams of dead
bacilli of tuberculosis, or bacilli of
weak vitality, the animal becomes
proof against infections of fresh bo-
vine tuberculosis. Human beings have
not yet been experimental on with
the virus, but it is thought that 1t
may prove effective

Mr.. Haldane, the British minister
of war, has had his attention strongly
directed to the one defect in the army
system; that is, that it turns a dis
charged soldier into the world at an
age when he has lost his adaptive
ness and when without a trade he
finds himself at a great dlsad vantage
In competing with younger men.
Therefore, Mr.. Haldane has appoint
ed committee to consider the train
ing of the soldiers in various trades.
1t is believed that something can be
found in this way which will be bet
ter for the ex-soldier than the pres
snt system.

The extension of manual training
so that every boy would have an op-
portunity to fit himself for trade
would make the problem of parents
much easier of solution, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. Boys instead of
being set at work as doors of odd jobs,
wasting the years when they should
be qualifying themselves for work as
journeymen, should be given chance
TO prepare themselves for their life
work. The great number of youths
anxious to take advantage Of the OBJ
portunity offered by the Carnegie
schools proves the need.

HOBART DEPOT
IS ROBBED
About Twenty Dollars in
Money and Express
Vouchers Taken.
Thief is CAPTURED
Swift Retribution Descends Upon the
Culprit Who Is Arrested at
Glen Forest

The Nickel Plate depot at Hobart
was robbed last night and thereby
have two Nickel Plate depot agents
established regulations for themselves
as sleuths OF unusual astuteness and
men OF mighty daring. At least the
sleuth end of 1t applies to two. though
the heroism was only demonstrated by
one of the amateur detectives. The
result OF the astuteness and bravery
combined is that the thief was captured
only an hour after he committed his
depreciation. and he has already had
his preliminary hearing and has been
held to the circuit court under bonds.
The hero Of the hour is the Nickel
Plate operator at Glen Forest. who
scented the thief from afar and ar
rested him. The first Sherlock Holmes
is Agent William McLaren of Hobart
or perhaps his wife, as 1t does not an
pear with whom originated the brighk
idea which led to the capture OF the
thief. The latter's name is Anthony
Stermeirs and the amount he got away
with was $40.
The robbery occurred between and
o'clock, which is the McLarens' sup
per hour. Mr.. and Mrs. McIare4-~syTsY.ss
gone about an hour ana when they re-
! turned they found that the cash dra W.
er had been rihed. Besides the $40
that was missed the thief also got a
number OF express vouchers which.
however, were valueless. The safe.
which contained a considerable sum Of
money was untouched.
AS soon as the loss Of the money
in the cash drawer was noticed. Nc
Laren recalled the presence of a sus-
pictous looking stranger who had been
hanging around all day and was at
that time conspicuous by his absence.
He was at once suspected as the cul-
prit and the agent Immediately noti-
fed the operators OF nearby stations
to be on the lookout for the suspect.
At Glen Forest he loomed up, walking
into town on the wagon road leading
from Hobart to that place.
Charles Behler is the operator there
and he had taken the precaution to
arm himself in case the suspected man
came his way and showed fight when
being taken into custody.
AS the lone stranger approached
Behler went out to meet him and at
the point Of his revolver told him he
was under arrest. No resistance waa
made and the station agent trium-
phantly backed his prisoner into the
station, where he held him until the
town marshal from Hobart whom he
notified. came to take charge of the
prisoner
The latter admitted his guilt and
gave his name as Anthony Stermeirs.
He said he was 20 years old and came
from Hamilton, o.
On arrival in Hobart he was placed
in the Jail, where he was kept until
this morning, when he was given a
preliminary hearing before Justice
Mathews. He was held to the circuit
court in bonds of $500.

The report which was circulated
some time ago that the Chicago, Gin

it had secured through Hammond and
instead gain an entrance into Chicago

Bruce said that in the interview he
learned that the railroad company was

was no thought Of passing up Ham

Although there was talk some time
ago that the new road is making ne

WRITE RICHARD SCHAAF:
GET CREDIT FOR DOG TAX
He May Kidnap the Animal If the
Owner Cannot Show a Receipt for
Amount Due County.

Richard Schaaf jr, is not going to
be bothered with any embarrassing
questions about his dog tax receipts
and so he IS getting everything in
tip-top condition before the first of
the year.
Mr.. Schaaf collects the county tax
and as several people have at various
times sent him the required amount
for taxes and forgot to state to whom
the amount should be credited. Mr..
Schaaf would like to have them send
a request for their receipt.
The genial fourth ward politician
also wishes to inform all owners OF
dogs that If they cannot show a receipt
for their county dog tax they will
have to either pay up or suffer the
loss OF the dog and so it behooves
those who have sent money and fail
ed to include their name and address
to do so at once, or have words with
the collector.
