The Tragedy of Old Madhood.

But this-this is the tragic part of
being an old maid. You find men of
your own age basking in the smiles Of
pretty girlets of eighteen or SO, with
never a glance in your direction. And
those who seem attracted to you are
old beaus of hoary head and tottering
for the eightecn-year-o to notice,
who fall in love with you violently a3d
hint larkly at running away with you
as soon as they have saved up enough
money. And-oh, more dangerous than
all the rest-those dear men, a few
only a few-years older than yourself,
married TO careless, eXtravagant,
thoughtless wives, who live the butter
fly life and crave the attentions of
other men-any men save those who
belong to them. These men, plodding
away in the harness to earn money for
the PaQun gowns and Lewis hats, and
starving for sympathy and love and
companionship, realizing too late that
they and all their sacrifices are taken
as a matter of course by their wives,
craving the love for which they have
been cheated into paying the great
price and finding that it is only coun-
terfait-and pleading. oh, so eloquently,
with their poor, starved hearts in their
voices, for friendship and understand
ing and Communications all that you
may give and all that they may take
Oh, how we hate these SNUG young
matrons in their new frocks, their
narrow bands Of gold upon the third
finger. We could manage the froeks
and the millinery, perhaps; but the
other? All, could we? And would we
where we could?

BAGS CRACKSMEN
Bnrnham Awakened by Automatic Alarm
 Aronses NeighbOrs.
Twice Before Burnham Has Figured in Sensational BurgIaries, Once Killing a Man and Being Under Fire Twice.

Hartford, March 15.-For the third time within the past few years A. A. Burnham, the station agent at Union vile, surprised safe crackers at work on the safe in his station early this morning. After sending an alarm through the village, the place was sur rounded by a posse and the two cracks men were captured.
 About four years ago MT. Burnham shot and killed a man who was work ing cn the safe one night after several shots were exchanged between them, and only last fall he was alarmed again by an automatic alarm which runs between his house and the sta- tion, and going into the station through the cellar put his head through a. trap door and surprised two men at work On the Safe.- Both fired at him and then escaped through a window
 At midnight last night the automatic alarm sounded in his room and MT. Burnham found two cracksmen busy at the front of the safe. with d com plete safe cracking outfit spread before them, and three revOlverS lying ready for use. He telephoned to neighbors and together they surrounded the sta tion. Achievements were sent for. as the burglars threatened to shoot, armed with revolvers or shot guns they quietly closed in on the room where the cracksmen were working and forced them to surrender.
 The men gave every evidence of be ing professionals at their work and had a full fledSed professional yNgg outfit with them. They refused to say a word, even to giving a name.
 Before the burglars were captured several shots were exchanged between them and the posse surrounding the place. No one was injured.

INSISTS ON RECOGNITION
That Will be the Main Contention of
 Mine Workers.
Hopes There Will be no Strike But is Ready to Fight to a Finish Should One Come.
Especial from United Press ,

Special from United Press.l
 Bridgeport, Ohio. March 15.-With words of peace in his mouth and the hope of peace in his heart Tom Lewis the miners chieftain is girdling him self for battle.
 q do not want strike said Lewis to-day. "I do not believe the miners of the Anthracite region want strike. But we do want recognition. There must be recognition.
 "No man can forecast what will be the action of the Anthracite miners our report. That meeting must decide what course now is to be pursued. But speaking as an individual, and only as an individual, I want no agreement at all if we can't have one embodying recognition of our organization. I think the operators themselves perfect ly organized, as is capital generally, will see the reasonableness of this, and that we shall make a settlement with out strike or lockout"
 Lewis came to his home here Sun He left to-day for Indianapolis. Lewis said the mine workers have $5,000, 900 and district organizations. And every cent of this will be available if we feel the life of the organization is en- dangered,'' he said.
 ''In addition funds will flow into the treasury from Nova Scotia, in the East to British Columbia in the West, from the thin veins of the fields of North ern Ohio. from the black coal fields of Indiana, from Illinois, Iowa and other coal producing states. This money will be raised by assessing the men who are working. In times of trouble in the past the men at work have been assessed 10 per cent. Some times Q fiat assessment of s1 a month is made. realize in the neighborhood of s25o, 900 a month";

CAMERA CLICK
 REVIVES MIND
Brain, Blank for Two Years, Suddenly
 Active.

Milwaukee. March 15.-A strange case of loss of memory has been solved in Milwaukee. William Childs. aged 35 years. who says he is a son of the late George William ChiIds. Jr.. of Brook lyn, N. Y.. after having been mourn ed as dead for two years suddenly re- covered his memory yesterday when he heard the clic. of a photographer S camera. The camera brought back to him that he was formerly connected with dealer in photographic sup plies.
 Two years ago something snapped, as he says. in his head, and where he has been since then no one knows. A week ago he appeared in Milwaukee and begged the county authorities to help him until the camera shutter brought him once more to himself. He etold Assistant Superintendent Will lard l.. Nolbohm that he was not crazy but that he had forgotten his name, his former home. and though he knew he was in Milwaukee. he could not tell where he had been before. All mem- ory preceding March 5, the day he was taken to the insane asylum. was blot ted out as though it had never been. The physicians were summoned, but they could do nothing. He appeared to be well educated and every effort was made to identify him. A photographer was sent out yesterday to get a pie ture and with the taking of the pie ture the man was cured of his strange affliction. The memory of the two years which intervened between yes terday and his strange lapse Is still blank. His recovered memory skips that period
 According to the story he told to the physicians he is the son of wealthy family in Brooklyn. He was for years employed as a clerk by the Anthony Photographic Supply Company. New York city. He cannot remember how he left New York. but he knows that he was next at work for Chicago firm of photographic supply dealers. His health failed and he went to the Moody Institute. At one of these meetings, he says. something seemed to snap, and his next recollection was his arrival in Milwaukee. He has no memory of how he happened to come to Milwaukee. but does remember Fri day. March 5, when he was wandering in the snow trying to remember who he was.
 William Childs has been living for the past seven or eight years in Chi cago, where he was last heard from before he was found in Milwaukee. His
 mother is Mrs. M. l. Childs and lives with brother William P. Ellery, as- sessor of Hackensack. N. J.
