WESTERLYS CHIEF or POLICE
Identifies Horse Thief William Albert Keyser of Slough
tom Mass-Mrs. Herbert P. Clark Gives St. Patrcks
Masquerade Whist = Dilatory Soldiers Arrested
Shamrock Entertainment of St. MichaePs Parish
Brggs-Miner Marriage.

Ever since the arrest of the noted
horse thief who gave his name as AL
bert Fuller, and who has at least "A
thefts to his credit, Chief of Police
Branslield has been endeavoTing to
learn the correct name of the thief,
and has finally succeeded. The fellow
has been extremely reticent, and even
since his confinement in the washing
ton county JAIL awaiting trial, declined
TO speak of himself and his acts.
The chief, after considerable research,
ascertained that the prisoner had two
married sisters at Deer Island, that
their maiden name was kayser, and
that they had resided in Stougthon,
Mass. With this substantial clue, the
cfNsf learned that the real name of the
horse thief is William Albert Kayser,
and he was born in Stoughton, June
"A, 1857.
Mrs. Herbert Pomeroy Clark gave a
ST. Patrick's masquerade whist at her
home, in Grove avenue, "wednesday
evening. The party was confined
strictly TO ladies, except the gentleman
disguised as the colored servant, who
received the visitors at the door and
directed them to the dressing room.
There were sixteen guests, and green
predominated in the beautiful cos
tunes. The rooms were decorated in
green. and that color prevailed in the
favors and even the ice cream at the
feast.
Mrs. Clark introduced, many pleasing
novelties, including a guessing con-
test for prizes, the members of the
party being designated by numbers,
and partners selected with the aid of
dainty little meerschaum pipes of diff
ferent design. The event was admir-
ably arranged and thoroughly enjoyed.
Az the request of the commanding
Office at Fort Mansfield, two soldiers, !
FTaherty and Terhune. was taken to
the police station by Chief Bransfeld
and Officer West, Tuesday night, and
delivered over to q detail from the fort |
Wednesday morning. Both men had re-
manned away beyond their pass limit,
and, learning that the soldiers were in
Westerly, the commanding officer re-
quested their detention. Flaherty re-
sisted, and Chief Bransfield had to use
force in getting him to the station.

WAS NOT STRENUOUS WORKER
Youth Forced to Confess That His Du-
ties Were Not What Might Be
Called Arduous.

The son Of a rich father quit col
lege a few weeks ago-he was in love,
he explained, and couldn't keep his
mind on his books. He wanted to go
to work and make a place for himself
In the world. So his father got him
on the payroll of bank in which he
was a director. The young mans
sweetheart-in her second year at
Vassar-kept writing him how proud
she was over his independence and
asking just what position he held so
she could tell the other girls. The
young man sidestepped the question
as to his prominence in the banks
organization, until, finally, his intend
ed wrote him a peppery letter, saying
that II he didn't give her the informa-
ton by return mail she would be real
angry. Then, after much thinking, the
youth wrote her this:
I've wanted all along to tell you
about my position and would have
done so before had l known myself
About all do here In to raise win

Who're Caesar cros.ad rhames-

Where did julius Caesar cross the
Thames? This sounds like one of the
questions set by staid old examiners
in search of information they failed to
acquire IN their youth. There are per
haps as many places claiming to be
the site Of the famous fording as there
were claiming to be the birthplace of
Homer. This week Brentford has
stolen march on other places and
has erected a monument commemor-
ating Caesars crossing of the Thames
there! Most historians and to-
pographers agree in placing the point
of crossing at Halliford at a point
known as Convey Il. e., Causeway)
Stakes, and but little support is found
for the Brentford theory. To many
people monument is the most con-
vincing Of evidence, and though there
is little tradition to support the Brent
ford column, that column viii no
doubt serve to strengthen the tradi-

TO RISE IN BUSINESS LIFE.
Some Few Essentials Must ne kept
In Mind, and one Of These IL
Advertising.

A man may have several carloads
Of ability. He may have brains and
ideas and other desirable things. But
all the ideas ever "ideated" will not
avail to raise a man who neglects that
all important item Of advertising You
simply must get attention. or course,
you can get attention by firing or a
revolver during Office hours, or you
can do II by wearing loud clothes and
proclaiming your klnship in the
sporting fraternity. But most men
who have risen from the ranks have
carefully neglected to use methods
Of this kind.
Every office man must act as his
own salesman. He must first pre-
pare himself by increasing his eff
fciency. He must be able to do the
work for which he is hired Not only
should he do that for which he is
hired, but he must do that work bet
ter than It ever was done before.
When that item has been attended to
II is then time TO look about for more
work.
The wise employee will keep his eye
on the job ahead, or. better still, will
look at job which does not exist,
but which should exist for the good
of the business. The next step is to
think out a selling talk that will get
the attention, arouse the interest,
create a desire, and bring about in
the mind of the employer a desire to
do what the live employee desires him
to do=The Bookkeener.
