POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT.
English Writer Sees Significance In
Gloriflcation 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 IN institu-
ton, says 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 sympatheticany 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
30 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 villain; he
is noble and generous to a fault; but
he is convinced of the impropriety of
persons having too much money.

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

MY little son, when about yea
and 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 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. /
sent to the drug store and got cake
OF Cuticura Soap and a box Of Cutlcura
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. used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes Of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shell

SUGAR is GOING TO ADVANCE.
Commission Merchants Say II ID
Cheaper In Colorado Than
Elsewhere.

Denver.-At present Colorado is get.
ting its sugar cheaper than any other
section of the country. The advance
OF 10 cents hundred in cane sugar,
which became effective in the eastern
market a few days ago, mas not
reached Colorado, but the market here
Is strong, with indications for an ad-
vance of like character. Missouri river
points are already paying the In
creased price. Granulated sugar was
quoted here yesterday at S5.lO TO the
jobber and $500 to the retailer. On
the basis of present prices at Missouri
river points, freight added, the price
here would be $5.37 instead of $50,
so that Colorado consumers are, at
least for q time, getting the benefit Of
lower prices than points more favored
by freight rates.
Denver brokers state that the east
ern advance is du, to the fact that the
Cuban crop has been disposed OF. An
advance usually comes about the 1st
of April. when the market is relieved
o. the Cuban product. This years
crop was little short of normal, be-
cause Of political unrest in the island.
Further advances may be looked for
throughout the spring and summer, su-
gar reaching its high point for tho
year usually when the canning season
begins and the producer needs it
worst.
Brokers maintain that the law of
supply and demand alone governs the
fluctuations of the market. that the
trust simply lets nature take her
course, and that nature is always very
acc0mmodating-to the trust.

The first was that Pfaff, during the

Starch were used. In order to get the

sary to use so much starch that ihe
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying

can be entirely overcome by using De-
flance Starch, as 1t can be applied

The boat had a lady pilot, said to be an expert, and the only licensed female pilot and engineer on the Mississippi river. She had pushed barge through the draw and attempted to follow, but the current at that point is very treach- erouS, and drove the boat against the draw with the above result.

Do Not Crowd the season.

The first warm days Of spring bring with them the desire t0 get out and enjoy the eXhilarating air and sun shine. Children that have been hous- ed up all winter are brought out and you wonder where they all came from. The heavy winter clothing is thrown aside and many shed their Aannels. Then q cold wave comes and people say that grip k epidemic. Colds at this season are even more dangerous than in mid-winter, as there is more danger of pneumonia. Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, however, and you will have nothing to fear. It always cures, and we have never known a cold to result in pneu- monia when it was used.
