NAM PATTERSON,

Major Sylvester this afternoon re-
ceived the above message from Albert

ginia. is James Arthur Kemp, the al
legged defaultng chief clerk and prop
erty clerk Of the Police Department,
who has been missing since July 3.

Striker Plays
In Tough Luck;
Thieves Prey

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-To be robbed Of
s1S is a misfortune, especially when you
are a striking telegraph operator, but
that isn't the worst. Think Of being
stripped of your hat, coat, and trousers
on the lake shore and having to spend
several hours lodging Sunday pleasure
seekers before you can find place of
refuge.
James z. Reeves. a striking telegraph
er from New York. experienced both
these. After several drinks with a new
found friend at the Revere House, he
was induced to go to see the Hole on
the lake front" When ne reached the
foot OF Illinois street he was knocked
down beaten, and robbed OF si3, tiis
coat. hat, and the trousers.
For nearly FIVE hours Reeves dodged
aro5lnd among the weeds in "Streeter-
vile" Finally in desperation he made
a dash for the fire engine house In Chi
calro avenue, where he told his story,
and one of the firemen gave him a
blanket.

Medieval Leisure.

Tho women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives
than those of our generation. To be
sure, there are hundred labor-saving
devices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt. such as We carry
on from morning till night. The
Elizabethan had no prejudice against
garbage in his front yard, vermin in
his bedroom. decaying rushes on the
floor of his banquet hall, or soiled
lace on his sleeves. The strength of
arm and spirit which now goes to
keeping clean was left to the medieval
Lady for other tasks. Moreover, al
though her clothing was gorgeous
rich with embroidery and lace and
heavy with jewels-it was not subject
to rapid changes of fashion. The cut
OF sleeve or the hang of skirt was
settled for five years rather than for
Ave months. Life was free then from
the modern terror Of looking like a
last years ragbag." II cleanliness and
fashion should suddenly go out of
business. says Youths Companion,
what an air Of leisure would spread
over the world feminine, until some
other tyrants should arise to take the
place of those dethronedi
