Frederiksted. End Sent. 1909.

Mr. K f. MoIler has a face which one
would describe as being round, or full, but
yesterday morning it heightened perceptibly
when he opened his rom door and looked
for his bicycle under the gallery, where he
left it the evening previous, to find that it
had vanished.
Thinking afterwards that it might be some
practical joke being played upon him by
friends, he was hopeful that it would be re-
placed later, but up to now (2.30) it has not
been returned.
Whether it has been taken on a trip per
"Guiana" or whether it is still in the island,
he does not know, but certain it is, the time
has passed when it can be considered a Joke
and it Gun only be defined as theft.

Yet MT. Huntsinger announces that during the past business year he was unable to fill over 200 positions for the lack of suitable graduates.
 Although tae business world ie olamoring for young men and women of the highest ability. and the busi- ness school graduates increase every year, still the demand is never wholly met.
 The call for ability is more in sistent than ever and more difficult to fill. It is challenge to ambitious, energetic, determined young men to struggle harder for the prize.
 The young man with latent talents will find the best possible conditions for training at the Huntsinger school

His father had gone to the apothe- cary's, and the little boy said: "Pa's gone into the drunk store.' That was the nearest he could come to "drug store '' a.....
 Do you know, stranger; do you ever stop to think about it, neighbor, that there isn't single "drunk store" in our town? A drunk store is 8 place where people, who were once men, once boys. get drunk You put your money into stocks and you get interest put it into real estate and you get an increase; put it into gro ceries and provisions and you get sus tenance; put it into the drunk store' and YOU don't get anything; the i drunk store man" gets it, and YOU lose.
 Send your boy into the grocery store and he gets groceries; send him into the shoe store and he gets shoes send him into the clothier's and he gets clothing; everywhere he gets things that will do him good, and he receives from the proprietors and clerks the cordial welcome, "Glad to see you; come againl" But send your boy into the "drunk store" and he gets only that which will ruin him, body and soul. And the pro- prietor gets HIM. And he says not, "Glad to see you," but "Glad to HAVE you. MUST have you. You can't stay away"
 "Oh, but we'll never send our boys to the "drunk store. '' We'll, then, if it isn't fit for your boy, whose boy is 1t fit for? And remem- Der that boys don't wait to be sent,- they are led, enticed.
 Good neigbhors, here is the whole situation in a nutshell: Next October men for whom you have little or no respect, and who don't care a rap for you or your family, or the reputation of our town, are going to ask you to let them establish seven or eight "drunk stores'' in town, where they will, because they must, to live, take about two hundred dollars a day away from men, and others, who cannot afford it. In return they will give them that which will make them want more, and be less able to afford it. These 'drunk store men" must, every month, get some new patrons. Very, very few men will learn to patronize these 'stores," but boys will learn. The new patrons. the raw material out of which drunkardl are made, are boys, and here they are our own Stafford boys. Do not for get 1t.
 A few law .defying. brazen men art going to ask for license because they have been selling without it. I'll tell you when to give it to them when you are ready, for the same reason, the very same. to license thieves, burglars, forgers, and other workers of iniquity because your pro- hibition of their crimes does not pre- vent, and they will plunder, and break law, at any rate.
 Say, think more of your boys and mine than of all the rotten and beastly "drunk store men'' in the world Don't Vou?

 The following will be of local in- terest, as Larkin was the baokstop for the Stafford team last season :-
 There was nothing retiring or apologetic about the manner of Larkin as he strapped on his windpad. He is about seven -eighths nerve and acted from the start as if he was the star backstop of the team. From the first ball that Dygert pitched the Holy Cross boy kept up rapid-fire mono log, and even joshed such stalwart hitters as Lajoie and Stovall. Dygert has the hardest delivery of any of the Athletic pitchers to handle, but the kid caught him faultlessly. -Phila- delphia North American.

BOY CAUGHT RoBBrNG A posToFFIcE BOX

John Lee Sellers. little negro boy. who says he is ten years old, was caught yesterday morning at l0:So oselock in the act of robbing one or the boxes of the postcfice. in the cor' ridor of the building. The box was rented by the Loeb Carriage Company.
 It Is stated that an empioye of the Loeb Carriage Company forgot his key, when he extracted the mall from the box several days befprehand. and that the little negro boy evidently saw the man depart, leaving the key stuck in the box. 1t is thought that the little negro took possession of the key and waited until the next day for the mall to be distributed.
 Mali was missed on "wednesday by the Loeb Carriage Company. and . watch was set oyer the box. The boy made several strips to the box. and yes terday morning at i0;s0 o'clock was caught in the act of taking the mail from the box and opening 1t. inside the corridor of the Building.
 The little negro was. taken in hand, and brought before lUnfted states Com missioner John A. EIm6re. An affidavit was sworn out Sby the commissioner charging the negro with theft of the mall. and the commissioner set the time for the preliminary hearing at 10 o'cIock this morning. placing the ne- gro under a $500 bond. which up to late hour last night had not been made.

NORTH COURT STREET
 NEARING COMPLETION

The last stage of the siooooo of im- provements made by the city on North Court Street has been entered. The paving is all that 10 left to be done and work on that began yssterday. The bedding for the paving has been placed and now the laying of the stone sur facing is under way.
 The street, which handles most of the heavy traiic Of the citys com merce, will be paved with granite blocks, like Commerce Street. and has under it one of the finest sewerage systems in the country. The great drain, some six feet In diameter, made of concrete and brick, is over c mile long and will drain that entire section of the city. Connections have been made to 1t from all the streets cross- Ing North Court and SO the lowiand of North Montgomery will be most thor oughly drained.
 The first work on the drain was started last fall and it will be well on to fall again before the entire Job will be finished. It Is expected that the inl- provement given the property in that section of the city win greatly enhance the land value there. which is already at q premium, because 1t Is In the man. ufacturinx district of the city.
 This commercial progress was ham, pered tout there. it is said. because oi the alleged unhealthfulness Of the neigh borhood. but with . complete sanitary sewerage system this illusion has been dispetled.
