Single -Handed Holds Thieves at Bay
Till Relief Arrives.

The double column that followed
was a detailed glorification of Michael
Denis Finigan and his great coup.
~ According to the paper, a few min
utes after Finigan had gone on his
beat the previous night, having re-
lieved Officer Jack O'Brien, he had
made the discovery that the rear door
of the Hill mansion was open, and
noiselessly entering the building had
surprised ten housebreakers.A collected
in the dining room about a basket of
wine.
Covering the men with his revolver
and pressing the electric burglar
alarm, he had held the entire party at
bay till relief arrived. when the ten
men were handcuffed and taken to the
station. Only one shot had been fired,
which Finigan had been forced to ex-
pend on the legs of one of the house
breakers, who had objected to his
capture.
The paper went on to state that
grimly amusing fact had subsequently,
come to light. The housebreakers had

Qualifications of a Hired Man.

There are great differences in the
qualifications of the hired man. One
is worth all and more than he re-
ceiyes, while another who is apparent
ly equally intelligent is not worth any
thing and the employer is loser in
the long run by having him around.
The best hired man is one who is in
telligent and active. A good one
should receive the best of treatment
from his employer and should never
tire OF what is to be done on the
ranch. regardless of the lateness of
the hour or the inclemency of the
weather. If loss is likely to accrue in
case he should fail to work at that
particular time.

to clean out the place"
He backed towards the. stone wal
with the intention of putting this plar
into effect, when again he was stayed,
this time by two men leaping over the
stone wall only few yards from
where he was concealed
These men, after crouehing for
minute in the shadow OF a hedge,
Rugged low cross-hedge to a position
opposite the rear wall cf the house
from where they stole across the mar
row strip of lawn and disappeared
through the door that had been forced
only few minutes before
Would you notice it," murmured
OBrien. ''Ill Just lay by bit and

He now removed his helmet and
laughed softly into 1t. Its the boys
playing trick on me, that's what 1t
is! But the devil bit will | notice

He spring over the wall to tie road.
Mike Will be waiting for me at the
box. Twill be the laugh on him and
warm bed for Jack O'Brien.'
Shaking a few leaves and twigs
from his cape he started down the
road at his accustomed pace The
sound of laughter now came from the
Hill mansion, and peering over the
stone wall through an opening in the
hedge he saw two more shadows steal
across the lawn and disappear through
the open door at the rear of the
| house.
O'Brien wiped a broad grin from his
| face. THE boys win know me better
after this night" he said. But I'm
right sorry for Finigan Fed better
pull drunk goat than nab that bunch
of plumbers"
At the patrol box O'Brien was soon
joined by Mike Finigan and relieved
l of duty by the latter.
Anything doing?" queried Finigan,
who was a green hand like the other
man. and as eager to make record
and get promoted In town.
You might pull the moon, If he's
full" grinned O'Brien. "'Tis a wet
night you'll have. Mike, and wetter
outside than inside. Tin thinking"
Finigan winked licked his lips, and
with grin turned to patrol his beat,
while O'Brien moved off toward the
station. Here he caught the last cleo
trio and soon was relieved of all du-
ties by Capt. Sleep.
At his ten o'clock breakfast the
next day O'Brien opened the morn ng
paper, smiled to think that the joke
might be out on Finigan, when he all
but fell from his chair as his vision
was confronted with the headlines:

MORE NEGRO CONTESTANTS
Believed i'm Washington That Is OBJ
Jcct OF Capcrs' Activity.

washington, April 4.-Dispatches
received here today from South Car
DINA to the effect that former Dis
trlct Attorney, and later commission
CT OF internal revenue, John G.. Ca
pers was in that State organizing the
republicans, and that he would put
cah~l~ate out in each OF the seven
district fer Congress to oppose the
seven Democrats, who are now scrv-
ing from that State, has caused con-
siderable gossip in Washington poll
teal circles.
1t is believed that Capers is CARRYING
out the order of Postmaster General
Hitchcock in the effort to land the
Republicans, while there is not the
ghost OF a show for them to oust the
present Democrats. The present
members of the House would not dis
cuSS the matter when approached on
the SUBJECT today, except to say that
II Capers' prOteges could get into
Congress they We're welcome to do
So
Anyone who is familiar with condi-
tions in South Carolina knows that
there are just enough white Repub-
lcans of standing in the State TO
supply the post Office, internal reve-
nue. and few other Federal positions.
These office holders will not sacrifice
thelr present places even to make the
race for Congress. The upshot of the
situation is that in addition to the
TWO contestants now trying for the
first and seventh district seats. five
more would be added and allowed
$1,000 each from the government for
making the contests. They would
get total Of $4,000 from the Fed
eral treasury every two years, more
than they would probably earn at
home. The dangerous fature Of the
matter, as viewed here, is that in the
lower part Of the State, where the
negroes outnumber the whites in
many of the counties, the former will
undoubtedly claim that they have
representation, and it is feared that
race trouble might result should the
situation become acute.

he could not be received when it was

that he MERRY del VaD receive pri-

After being apprised Of the con-

was explained on Mr.. Roosevelt's be-
half that his final message had not
been communicated to the vatican
because Mgr. Kennedy's second tele-
gram was all of the matter so far "a
he was concerned, but that he wished

that he did not carry any authorize
tion to subtract from or add a word
to Mr.. Roosevelt's position as defined
by his telegram for Mgr. Kennedy.
