"HE members of the circle of the
 great unemployed have taken to a 1 fresh method for obtaining new sensation. Burglary has hitherto claimed no amateurs it is a serious profession undertaken only by those who are willing to take much risk in the hopes of ob- taining great gains, but apparently the most expert burglary can be carried out where the amateurs have the intelligence, the deftness and the courage ensured by good breeding
 The Duke of Westminster has been en- tertaining a large party at Eaton Hall. Among the guests were the Marquis and Marchioness of Cholmondeley.
 The conversation turned on burglary and Lord Cholmondeley, who is great Lord Chamberlain of England, maintained that the cunningly devised alarms now made burglary impossible. Shortly before midnight Lord and Lady Cholmondeley re- turned to their castle, and immediately re- tired to rest
 Lady Cholmondeley was disturbed about o'clock in the morning with the noise of window shutting, but attached no inn portance to the sound.
 Lord Cholmondeley found later that some jewelry, gold racing cup of great value and a quantity of cigars and other articles had been stolen by burglars from a room adjoining his bedroom.
 A small piece of coal had been substi- tuted for the articles that had been moved. The racing cup was won by Lord Cholmondeley himself as inc rode his own horse at the Southdown hunt meeting.

AMATEUR BURGLARY
 IN OLD ENGLAND
BY LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

The police were summoned, and it was discovered that a motor car had been made use of. A jointed collapsible ladder was found beneath the windows, and en- trance had been gained through the dining room window, which had not been prop erly fastened. A motor car had been driven at a great pace toward Chester, had come into collision with the lodge gates and lost half it's hood.
 The police were astr, mounted con- stables and detectives on bicycles secured the country. and all motorists whose cars showed any signs of damage were held up in order to be closely questioned.
 Suddenly a hush fell, no further ques- tions were asked the investigation ceased. It then transpired that the members of the Duke of Westminster's party had laid a wager that they would successfully burgle Lord Cholmondeley's castle, and shdetly after midnight the scions of many noble houses left in two motor cars, dis guised with masks.
 Asked by telegram about the incident Lord Cholmondeley replied Practical joke young gentlemen from Chester Very festive seasonH
 The trouble is that next time a. real burglarys takes place, neighbors' houses will be searched, and the higher in rank the greater the suspicion.
 It is to be trusted that this new game of burglary will not become as popular as diablo. and that it will not supply that felt want" of puzzled parents who during the holidays are so anxious to discover some new game with which to begule the hours for their children.

in cable from Europe when they ar rived at Ragley Hall in Alcester in May. The Countess of Yarmouth was presented at court in June. The countess returned to Pittsburg in August, 1904, with her mother, and it was denied then that there was any idea of her separating from her husband. The earl came over a few weeks afterward and returned with his wife to England. -
 The domestic difficulties of the Yar- mouths then apparently passed from pub lie view for a long time. After the kill ing of Stanford White it was reported from abroad that the Countess of Var mouth was deeply affected at the plight of her brother and that her health was broken down by the incident. It was first reported on December IA of last year that there was a. possibility of such a suit as has been begun.
 The Earl of Yarmouth is descended from a distinguished family. If he out lives his father he will be Marquis of Hertford, Earl of Hertford, and Viscount Beauchamp of Hache, in Great Britain; Baron Conway of Ragley, in England. and Baron Conway of Killultagh, in Ire land.

Some remarkable stories are be- ing told of this simple homemade mixture curing Rheumatism and Kidney trouble, even after the most noted health resorts failed to give the slightest relief. Here is the recipe and directions for taking: Mix by shaking well in a bottle one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dan delion, one ounce Compound Kar- gon, three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Take as dose one teaspoonful after meals and at bed time.
 No change need be made in your usual diet, but drink plenty of good water

 A New York druggist who has had hundreds of calls for these in- gredients since the first announce ment in the newspapers, stated that the people who once try it swear by it." especially those who have Urinary and Kidney trouble and suffer with Rheumatism.
 Every prescription pharmacy can supply the ingredients, which are easily mixed at home. There is said to be no better blood-cleansing agent or system tonic known, and certainly none more harmless or simple to use.
