FRIGHTENED AWAY.
Burglars Make Second Attempt d i.
ter Monmouth Store. ~

Monmouth, Me-, Aug. 22.-Burx,s..
attempted to enter the grocery 81,
of J. A. Cunningham at this place Il,
day night, but were frightened ave-.
Mrs. Slaunwhite, who lives over 4.
store was UP and lighted a Iampi..
about 2 A. NJ, Saturday. She hes,.
steps on the walk outside and a ma
ment later heard team drive avs,
1t is supposed that the burglars cam.
in team, although suspicious are heE
against parties, who do not live n
away. A pane OF glass In a windo1
was found removed this morning.
This is the second time this wees
that burglars have visited Cunuinv
hams store. The first time, earlier I.
the week, they entered and stole !
quantity Of goods. Both breaks helm
made by the same window and in m
same manner lead the authorities 4
believe the work was by the SAM
party. 1t clearly was not the work 4
professionals. Suspicious at first wers
directed against tramps. but Mn;
Slaunwhite's hearing the team driys
away has given rise to another theory
Monmouth was greatly excited, FIJI
day night, over the belief that Maste,
Alfred Loon, 12-year-old son of Gu.
Loon, was drowned. He was last seen
on the shore of Cochnewagan Lake
with companions who were going Il
swimming. This was in the middle a.
the afternoon. He did not show up Il
supper, not yet at dark %
The whole village turned out to hum
for him. All the evening people wen
walking up and down the shore Of ths
pond and searching elsewhere VIII
torches and lanterns, trying to find a
trace that would lead to finding Master
Alfred.
Late in the evening his parents re-
turned home in despair, accompanied
by sympathetic friends who endeavored
to, comfort them. They found Master
Alfred sleeping in his own little bed, In.
nocent of the anxiety and trouble III.
which ne had put the whole vilIa9e.
He had become sleepy during the after
noon through smelling the odor from
gasolene tank and gone home and re-
tired without speaking to his parents,
and did not wake up until late in the
evering.

INSANE CAPTAIN.

Thomas. who was bringing home the
body of his wife. who had died in the
Philippines. in desperation appealed to
the officers of the ship to stand by him
and save him from the crazy whim of
their master. The officers, fearing not
only for their passenger but also for,
their ship, from the actions of Capt.
Mcdowell. held a consultation. at which
II was decided to place him under ar
rest.
This was done before the captain
could offer effective resistance. He was
locked up in his cabin after search
of ii had revealed four revolvers and
other weapons which were removed
so that the skipper could do no harm
to himself or to his men. Two of the
officers were with him constantly to-
guard him from self-infiicted harm

to see if proper medical aid could mol
be of some assistance in saving Capt 4

owe to my angel mother"
my mother was the making OF me"
said Thomas Edison, recently. "She
was go true, 30 sure Of me; and felt
that had some. one to live for; some
one must not disappoint"
"All that ever accomplished In
life." declared Dwight L. Moody. the
great evangelist, II owe to my mother"
ITO the man who has had a mother
all women are sacred for her sake"
said Jean Paul Richter.
The testimony Of great men In ac-
acknowledgement of the boundless debt
they owe to their mothers would make
a record stretching from the dawn of
history to today. Few men. indeed.
become great who DO not owe their
greatness to mothers love and in
spiration.
How often we hear people in every
walk of life say, II never could have
done this thing but for my mother.
She believed in me; encouraged me,
when others saw nothing in me-"
"A kiss from my mother made me
painter" said Benjamin West
A distinguished man of today says:
II never could have reached by pres
ent position had l not known that my
mother expected me to reach it,
From child she made me feel that
this was the position she expected me
to fill; and her faith spurred me on
and gave me the power to attain it."
1t is strange fact that our mothers,
the molders of the world. should get
20 little credit and should be so sell
dom mentioned among the worlds
achievers. The world sees only the
successful son; the mother is but a
round in the ladder upon which he
has climbed. Her name or face is new
err seen in the papers; only her son
is lauded and held up to our admira-
ton. Yet it was that sweet, pathetic
figure in the background that made his
success possible.-Orison SWEET Marder

''Pardon Me, I'm Going to
Rob YOU" He Says
To Victim at East Grange, n.
J., and Steals JeweIry.
Considerably Promises to Return
Her the Pawn Tickets.

Newark, n. J., Aug. 22.-"Pardon me
l am going to rob you,' remarked q
polite highwayman he caught up with
Miss Charlotte NJ. Hamilton of %!
South 18th St, East Orange, N. j..
when she was within few steps of hel
home Saturday evening
The frightened young woman then
began to scream when he claSped MS
hand over her mouth, saying: Don't
holler and ! won't be rough. l want
all you've got; don't make, an outcry
and l won't harm you at ALL
Knocking her down the big highway
man proceeded to relieve Miss Hamll-
ton of her jewelry and then hurried
away. promising to send her the pawn
tickets.
The place where the holdup occurred
is lonely, Paramount cemetery on one
side of the street where there is moth
ing but narrow footpath. Miss Hamll-
ton is but rs years old. She was
returning from candy store when
she was stopped.
She made up her mind once, she said,
that if ever attacked by burglar or
thief she would give in, as she thought
that was the best way out of such
predicament. That was why she, sub
mitted, she declared, after the stranger
smothered her screams.
The young woman explained that she
first saw the stranger sitting on the
curbstone near the place where the
robbery took place. AS she passed
him he got up and followed. Becom-
ing alarmed she FASTENED her steps
and tried to catch UP with a man who
she thought might give her some as
sistance.
From a fast walk Miss Hamilton
said she started to run. but in mo-
mert the stranger caught up with her.
"Refore attacking me- she said, The
covered the lower part of his face with
a colored silk handkerchief. I screamed
thinking that the man in front would
help me, but he ran away. The high
wayman then took my gold watch,
chain, chatelaine pin, gold locket,
crescent pin, diamond ring and a
gold ring set with an amethyst.
After he put my jewelry in his
pocket he told me that he was sorry
that he had to do it. Then he COM
me to stay where l was for a
few minutes and, promising to send
the pawn tickets for my valuables, he
departed.
THE man was about % years old"
