POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT,
English Writer Sees Significance In
GIofification Of Robbers.

The idea of private property has
never been fully accepted by the
masses of the people, and never had
their cordial approval as an institu-
ton, says a writer in the London
News. The most popular songs and
ballads Of our nation in all ages, 1t
may be noted, have been those which
described alphabetically attacks on
private property, from the Robin Hood
cycle to the broadsheets in which
Turpin and Sheppard were made
heroes.
Even nowadays the literature that
really touches the people, the litera-
ture that the educated classes seldom
so much as see exposed for sale. the
literature that is sold in the small
general" shop in the back street, and
costs fewer pennies than the novel we
know costs shillings. still very largely
deals with the romantic exploits Of
the robber. He is never a villain; he
is noble and generous to O fault; but
he is convinced Of the improperly of
persons having too much money.

SIDE LIGHTS THE BEST.
High Central Chandelier Not Psrticu
isrIy Effective.

When the drawing room, reception
room or living room does not appear
cozy and attractive when lighted ur
at night the fault often lies with the
chandelier a room that is lighted
only from o center chandelier is apt
to have a glaring, cold appearance
particularly when the room is long
and narrow. Side lights are the only
remedy for this, unless there are
plenty of softly shaded lamps around
the apartment. A high central light
Is rarely cozy, nor in the case of q
long room does it brighten It evenly
Candle brackets on the side walls are
better if there are no gas fixtures
there.

Soft fights do not necessarily mean
low lights. as a poorly lighted room is
equally bad taste 1t remains for the
clever woman to arrange her lighting
so that it leans to neither extreme.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and Dody-Tore at Flesh
Cured by cutIcura.

my little son, when about year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end Of about year and a half OF suf-
fering he grew SO bad had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
sent to the drug store and got Q cake
of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment. and at the end Of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura REM
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shell

CARE OF MACHINE.
IMPORTANT PARTS THAT NEED
TO Be LOOKED AFTER.
Needle, Shuttle and Feed Must Be
Especially Attended To--Kero-
sene the Best Agent for
cIeansing--use Of Oil.

There are but three important parts
to the common double-thread machine
the needle, the shuttle and the feed.
In cleaning sewing machine use
a small screw driver, a stick about the
size of lead pencil. with long slend
er point, a piece OF cotton cloth ant
some machine oil.
In taking machine apart do not &c
at 1t In a haphazard way, but com
mence at one side and work toward:
the other side, taking Off everything
as you go that needs cleaning.
Have a table with plenty of room
and as fast as the pieces are removed
lay them there in the order in which
they were removed.
Be particularly careful not to lose
any of the small screws, for they are
frequently of such a thread that yot
cannot get a duplicate.
After you have taken off the small
parts, carefully clean the body of the
machine.
Kerosene will act like.magic in TAX

In oiling the machine use none bu
the very best oil. 1t is good idei
once in while to use little lzero

When the body Of the machine Ii
cleaned every bearing and surface sub
ject to friction should be polished
bright. AS soon as piece is cleaned
put it hack in place. In a few minutes
you will have everything in place
again.
Then oil carefully using rather toe

ROMANTIC pEvoNsHIRE.
The Land Made Famous by PhiIpotts'
Novels.

Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating
novels, THE River" Children OF the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 80 years / drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that 1t was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain fag and
q sluggish mental condition.
when / realized this, made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and

agreeable surprise at the end OF a
week, that no longer suffered from
either indigestion, heartburn, or brain
fag. and that could drink it at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.

The man followed the advice and

Good Food for lnxalids.

Milk and eggs are the basis OF mos,
Tight and nourishing" foods, because
in themselves they contain everything
necessary to build up the bodily tis
sues, TO make heat, and give energy
They should. therefore, form the staple
part of the diet. Curds-and-whey and
junkets are far too little used in the
feeding of invalids. They are both in.
valuable, for they present milk in a

UnIucky Mans Modest Request fov
Pecuniary Assistance.

Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian,
while in New Orlea-ls a few months
ago, took the opportunity of going to
the races. During the afternoon he
cashed several tickets, the result OF
good guesses. He was feeling happy
after the last race, and started for
the automobile which was to convey
him back to his hotel As he was
about to climb into the machine he
felt a hand on his arm, and man
shouted in his ear:

Hitchcock blushed and shook hands
sheepishly, not recognizing the man,
and not wishing to show it.

''All right; what is it?" asked the
comedian.

A $4,000 TREASURY ROBBERY.

30 years ago. At first, although no

thing could have been done by an out

that IL was the work Of some one un-
connected with the Office in which the
robbery occurred. 1t was not long,

Annoyed By Wolves.

A pack of wolves that have been infesting the country about four miles northwest of Prairie Grove for several months, have been causing a great deal of trouble on account of their raven ous appetite for chicken, and the farm CTS of that section are up in arms against the intruders. They have chased the wolves with dogs and gun, but 50 far only two or three have been killed There is said to be eight or ten wolves in the gang, and they are very bold in their quest for chicken meat It is rot uncommon to see them during the daytime close to the farm houses chasing the fowls. Where the wolves came from is unknown, but it is supposed few of them migrated | from the hills of the Indian Territory | last winter and have raised their | young here.
