Gloves.

The origin of gloves is very ancient.
Some authorities assert that they were
known in Bible times, from references
made TO shoes which were thought
to be Identical with gloves. The first
clear account of gloves comes, howev-
or, from Nenophon. This writer speaks
OF the Perstans wearing gloves on their
hands to protect them from the cold
Homer describes Laertes working in
his garden with gloves upon his hands
to protect them from the thorns. and
Varro mentions this apparel as being
worn by the Romans.
Gloves have been tokens of solemn
and important things from the ninth
century. They were adopted as n rite
OF the church, and later the transfer.
ring OF lands or titles was always at.
tended with the presentation of gloves.
In the eleventh century the method of
challenging to single combat by throw
ing down glove was instituted. and
this custom still remains In some coun-
tries. Gloves were not worn by women
until after the reformation.-S Iouis

A CLEVER BURGLAR.
How He Fooled a Man Who Thought
He Couldn't Be Robbed.

"B. Z. Hutchinson used to say no
burglar ever could get Into his house
without waking him." said central
station detective the other day. accord
ing to the Chicago Record Herald, but
1t remained for Chief Simon O'Donnell
to put one over the famous trader.
You know, Mr.. Hutchinson was ia

years ago and was known popularity as
Old Hutch He prided himself on the
fact that burglars never had got into
his house and often boasted of the
fact to his intimates. One day while he
was at lunch with Chief ODonnell and
number of other friends the com
pany fell to discussing Il crime that
had been committed the night before.
" I'd like to see anybody get into my
house. Mr. Hutchinson said. Why,

crowd said the chief. that | can pro-
duce a man who will enter your house
and you will not know of his visit til

"Mr. Hutchinson accepted the wager
and ii was agreed that he was to LET
the chief have latchkey, so that the
burglar could get in without being dis
turbed by some patrolman. Mr.. Hutch
inson also agreed to leave some article
OF value In the parlor where II could
be round readily. The chief said the
robbery would be committed within
the following week.
Three days later Mr. Hutchinson
awoke In the morning and discovered
that both sheets of his bed, which had
