MIDNIGHT ROBBER
BROKE INTO HOUSE
AND FACED CORPSE
Friends Sitting Up With
Body Of Mrs. Hardy
Amazed.

Effccting entrance through a front
window in the residence of Mr.. r. l..
Barnes. at Sherwood Park and Crook
Avenue. ut an early hour this morning
some daring and hardy burglar, evident
ly OF the professional species. walked
deliberately through the parlor, crossed
the hall, and started into the room.
seven or eight other friends of the fam
ilr were sitting up with the body of
Mrs. L. L. Hardy, Mrs. Earnes's moth
cr soaring them nearly out of their
wits. and. becoming himself so badly
frightened, that for fitting second
he was afraid to run.
Owed Through Window.
Then. without word. he turned and
fled the way he had come, diving
through the window, taking with him
the major portion of the lace curtains
and landing onto the porch, from
which he jumped to the ground. 1t all
happened so suddenly that the people
sitting UP with the, body were unable
10 tell whether the during intruder was
white or black.
They saw a tall. slender man. wear
ing a gray overcoat and SLOUGH hat,
and that was ALL The f!eeting glimpse
of his face was not enough to give Il
distinct idea as to his color, but the
sheer daring and carefulness exhibited
by the intruder gives every reason to
believe that he was white and n crook
of the first order
Examination of the premises showed
that the burglar had priced open the
b1 ll,- I'm window
and as carefully lifted the screen on
the inner side. He left everything
open behind him. and his escape was
accomplished with such remarkable
ceierity that he was gone almost as
soon as seen. Nh. Barnes's daughter
was asleep In the room above the par
.loI. and was awakened by the noise
OF the entrance. knowing that people
were up ana moving about however
she thought nothing OF the disturbance,
ard went back to her slumbers. But
the whole household was aroused when
the intruder made his sensational dive
through the window.
Whether or not lie used tools usual
to his profession was not discovered
last night, as no search was made of
the porch from which he effected his
entrance.
Daring Attempt.
Mr.. Tcmpleman and the others sit
ting up with the corpse We're too dnzed
to move when they saw the door slowly
open and then mans form SLOUGH upon
the threshold But the visitor was as
much astonishcd rs they, and he did
not stand upon the order of his going
but went.

THE COST Of milk production is influenced
hy such consideration as the following: First
the value Of the feed used second, the capac-
ity Of the COW to turn food into milk; third
the season Of the year at which milk Is OBJ
tanned; and fourth. the cost OF the plant and
the value Of the labor involved. The differ
ence in the cost Of food may in itself make q
difference In the cost Of milk OF more than 90
per cent. The same is true Of difference in
the capacity Of COWS. At Cornell experiment
station. in test conducted several years ago
20 cows were fed under like conditions. One
Of the cows produced milk at . cost Of "A cents
per 100 pounds. Another 10 the same lot pro
duced il at cost of STAG. The winter season
all things considered, is the most profitable
season for dairying 40 a rule, notwithstanding
the greater cost of the food fed. This 10 owing
to the better prices obtained for the product
