NODDED BY a
BOY BURGLAR
Mr.. FoSerfy Said. "0uh Yer
kfddin'." bur Found IL
Was No Joke.


Juvenile Dick Turpins abound in
Philadelphia, according to John j. Fo-
gerty, says a Quaker City correspond
ent of the St. Louis Republic. Mr.. Fo-
gerty is mourning. the loss OF his bank
roll, gold watch and two revolvers.
Fogerty declares that he would not
mind the incident which left him on the
verge of bankruptcy were ii not for the
fact that the youngster held him up at
the point of his own revolver and actu-
ally laughed and jolxed with him while
annexlng the bank roll.
Fogerty is an old time prize fighter
and, as In the days of his youth, sticks
TO Che time honored ring drink of tea.
The tea was all out in the Fogerty
household. and Mrs. Fogerty started
for grocery store TO replenish the sup
ply. Mr. Fogerty was sleeping the
sleep OF man In perfect health and
never dreaming of the crimp which was
soon to be put in his finances.
BY the bedside was revolver, a
costly affair, designed for use by Mrs.
Fogcrty when her husband is away
nights. She does not put 1t under
her pillow, just allows 1t TO lie ON the
floor
Fogerty's sleep was interrupted by a
footstep. Quickly turning, he looked
into the muzzle of his own costly gun. y
'I've faced Jack Dempsey when he
was IN his prime" says Mr.. Fogerty,
but Jack never caused the funny
chilly feeling to creep down my spine
that the revolver did. My sympathies
to man who is looking In the face of a
gun"
Fogerty declares the holdup artist
wore knee trousers.
Hold still, Mr.. Fogerty," said the
youngster 1--WE some business with
you"
He held the revolver In his left hand.
Reaching over TO chair with the right,
he started an extended search of Mr..
Fogerty's pockets.
"Quit yer kiddin'," said the anxious
Mr.. Fogerty.
Docs this look like a joker asked
the young man. "You'd better go to
sleep again"
Put that money back" yelled Fo-
gerty as he saw his STA go on a long
shot.

Mr.. Fogerty kept still.
Then the bureau drawers were tao

and quantity of jewelry.
The youngster, stlll keeping Fogerty
covered. backed slowly out Of the room

gerty says, me courage KEN back"
Jumping from the bed. Fogerty. for
getting his attire, started in hot pur'
suit.
But old age conspired TO help the boy
The feet which had kept their owner
far from the reach OF the famous, Jack
Dempseys lightning punches and fierce
PUSHES had lost their cunning At the
top step of the stairs they refused to
remember the old time agility. and Mr.
Fogerty took cropper down fourteen
steps.
Nothing daunted. he picked himself
up and started to the back yard. He
saw the youngster 60 out into the alley
and at the alley door saw him hit the
street.
Then he remembered his attire. He
wore nothing but an undershlrt and q
fierce frown.
In the distance he saw Mrs. Fogerty
coming with the tea. Thoughts Of the
delicious warm beverage filed his
mind. and he is now letting the police
look up his lost property.

to the question, whether the market
was rented to its capacity.

one was needed but did not know
whether It would be built. One mem

into operation by Ievery country. II
is not probable that the arbitration
treaties which we're concluded between
ten or twelve of the American nations
at the close Of the first American con-
ference will be revived. The Cleve-
land administration, which came into
power shortly after the adjournment
of that body suppressed them. Presl-
dent Cleveland's intense dislike of Mr..
Blaine and Secretary Gresham's per-
sonal hatred OF President Harrison
caused them to undo everything that
had been done. and II the other Amer
lean republics were not very generous
and forbearing they would never trust
the United tSates again.
4. The recommendation of the Sec
ond conference at Mexico for perm.
anent court for the arbitration to set
tie claims of citizens of one country
against another will be renewed.
8. II is proposed to create COM
mlttee of jurlsts to prepare a code of
public and private International law
for, the consideration OF the next con

recognition by all the American ma
lions OF the diplomas of the principal
universities and colleges OF America
In the practice OF the professions.
There will be renewed interest In
the intercontinental railway project.
Several of the nations are already TAX
ing steps TO build their sections of the
road. and the conference will take no
tee OF these and other encouraglng
signs.
Measures will be adopted for in
creaslng the usefulness and extending
the influence Of the bureau of Amerl.

mote the plan Of erecting an appro-

Democracy and the Light.

them in excellent condition, and the ex-
President az the picture of health and hard
upon this comes the announcement that the
democrats OF Indianapolis are thinking OF
nominating for Congress the author of
THE House of Thousand Candies" Now
this looks promising. For some years the
complaint has been of dense fog envelop-
ing the democracy. and that the blind
seemed to be leading the blind. Surely
thousand candles should materially help to
dispense the gloom. and men with gooo
eyes will then be able to see their way
around. How about this for 1908:
For President Grover Cleveland of New
Jersey.
For Vice President, Meredith Nicholson of
Indiana.
Platform: Let there be light, and good

Queer Barnes Document.

Washington Correspondence Baltimore Sun
Considerable indignation IS finding ex-
preston in the Senate over the latest phase
of the incident connected with the eject
1nent of Mrs Minor NJ orris from the White
House and her subsequent arrest. A
printed recital of the White House version
of the affair has been quietly circulated
among the members OF the Senate The
object Is to show that there Is really no
reason for the Senate committee to inves-
tigate Mr.. 3. f. Barnes, the assistant sec
rotary to the President, who has been ap-
pointed postmaster of Washington.
One Of these allegations is from ply
stefan In Asheyille. N. c., who says that
two years ago he treated Mrs. Morris for
insanity. Mrs. Morris herself has said that
she has never been In Asheville.
1t is understood that Senator T1llman,
who went before the committee several
days ago, offered to prove the entire falsity
Of the declarations of the Asheville physf-
clan, but the committee brushed him aside
and declared In effect that il was not in
terested In his contradictions and forth
with ordered that this allegation should be
printed as part of an executive document
and distributed to the senator's.
There IS also comment on the remarkable
proceeding OF Mr.. Barnes in taking meas
ures for securing his bond as postmaster
OF this city, in view of the fact that an
investigation of his course had been de-
manded.
A good deal of interest Is attached to the
nature of the underground information that
he has received from some place to war
rant him In preparing to enter the office
under these circumstances.

The Senate Public Buildinu nm

The House should promptly follow the
lead OF the Senate by passing the bill for
the acquisition Of the western edge of the
5nail-1veuue triangle for the purpose OF
providing sites for needed government
buildings. As long as Congress declines to

action 10 insure systematic emplacement
or future public buildings, the next best
thing Is TO take the necessary sites by

erecting the structures as they are pro-
