ARREST CAR ROBBER
RAILROAD SPECIAL OFFICERS CAP.
 TURF NEGRO.
He Is Believed to Have Been One of the Three Detected fin Act of
 Larceny in the ,t5 s-4 YP-ds

Tn arresting George Brooks,s , alias EOdiddlum, a negro, yesterday afternoon, Special Officers Jack Nissensens and Paul Rapport of the Louisville and Nashville captured a man whom they believe to have been implicated in some of the numerous burglaries and larcenies that have been committed in the railway yards of Montgomery.>
 Brooks Is suspected especially of a Burglary committed a few days ago by three negroes, one of whom, wher the trio was detected in the act of burglary drew a pistol and, acting as rear guard, made escape easy for himself and companions.
 That burglary, it is said. was one of the most daring that have been re- gently committed in the cars in the yards. When the three negroes were approached by the white men two of them ran, but the other calmly drew a pistol and seated himself upon a box and after waiting until his fellows had gotten away, walked leisurely away.
 lieve they already have two of the men. One of them Is Brooks, who was arrested yesterday. and the other Is Horace Taylor, whom they had pre- viously arrested. They have also ar rested Augustus Strong. alias Biloxi Kid, negro, whom they suspect of complicity in one or more of the burg iaries.
 Officers Rapport and Nissensen are working constantly on the car robbery cases and they say they will not rest until they have captured the guilty persons. They expect the arrests which they have already made to lead to oth- CT captures. The burglaries had be- come so frequent that to the officials of the railways the condition had be- come serious, and notice has been sent out that no pains are to be spared to put an end to the car robberfes.

No Printer Convicts.

a spicy prison paper published
by the convicts in the Ohio state
penitentiary has been forced to
suspend publication because there
is now not a single printer among
the convicts. There are enough
bankers to handle several big fl
nanciaI institutions, plenty of law
yers and doctors, and several
preachers, but no printers. Elbert
Hubbard explains the absence of
printers by saying they are the
busiest people on earth and busy
man has no time to get into mis-
chief. Hubbard is right The
man who spends his time in useful
honest effort, is the last man to
get into trouble But there is
another reason why printers are
scarce in prison. They handle so
little money that they never get
contaminated with the modern
spirit of graft and greed, A print

The Way With Us All.

Perhaps there is not a human
soul on earth who is not looking
forward with bright anticipations
to some day To one "some
day represents one sweet hope,
while TO another it represents an
entirely different hope: yet to each
one of the great millions of people
on the earth ''some day" means
more than life, or wealth or health.
"Some day is the will-o'-wisp of
all our lives ever Just within our
reach but always eluding us.
There is some day" however,
which belongs to us all and which
we do not chase. but which will
come to us however unsought.
Some day we will go to sleep and
never awaken in this world again.

A poor girl noted for her prud-

been pondering the problem of
whether to buy an umbrella, which
she needs very much but does not
at all want. or an angora kitten,
which she does not exactly need,
but wants so much that it keeps
her awake at nights. The other

Imprisoned for Typewriting

It can't be that the people of
Switzerland have any piano prac-
tice or they wouldn't object to so
small a disturbance as chronicled
below:
a newspaper man of Basle,
Switzerland, was arrested recently
because he was in habit of using
his typewriter after ten O'Clock at
night. The police held that the
machine made altogether too much
noise and the court sentenced the
man to four hours in prison, with
IA warming that he would be pun
ished much more severely if the
offense was repeated.-American
