ATTEMPTED BURGLARY
Thieves Make Unsuccessful Effort TO
Break Into w. P. Flower Home, 407
West Main Street, Sunday Morning
- Awaken Owner Who Frishtens
Them Away With Revolver Shot.

Thieves made an unsuccessful at
tempt to break into the W. j. Flower
home. 407 West Main street at about
2:40 Sunday morning, by forcing open
the rear door The noise they made
awakened Mr.. Flower, who frightened
them away by firing a revolver out Of
an upstairs window. Mr.. Flower said
this morning that several marks on
the kitchen door showed where the at
tempts to pry It open had been made.
When he heard the noise Mr.. Flower
ct first supposed one of the horses had
got loose in the barn. When he started
to go down stairs he heard the noise
Of another attempt being made to open
the rear door.
Opening an upstairs window over the
summer kitchen, into which the kitch-
en- door opens, he fired. Attic he
could not see any one in the darkness
and shadows, he heard the noise of
footsteps Fastening out Of the kitchen
and across the lawn.
Mrs Flower called to a neighbor who
summoned the police. When the pa
troll arrived a few minutes later no one
was in sight. Mr.. Flower believes the
burglars were local thieves who knew
Of the surroundings and arrangement
of the house.

The Dear Old Frauds.

Those old, pleasant, innocent frauds
of the circus are not .practiced now
the imposing five barred gates that as
the horse approached them were slop-
ed into insignificant wattles and the
rings through which the signorina pur-
ported TO leap, but which in reality
were insinuated over her by compliant
, attendants. And then there was that
venerable jockey performance, the Gull
mination of which was a leap from the
ring to a standing position, albeit at
an angle of thirty degrees, on the
horses back. In the old circuses 1t
was the custom of the horseman to
miss the browning jump two or three
times in order that a fercer flame of
interest might be kindled in the audi
ence. After two failures the band
would stop always the presage of a
moment of strain supreme), the horses
head would be loosed. he would be
urged to a greater pace, and the feat
would gloriously succeed. Then what
a crash of brass and outbUrst of de-
light in the building, involving even
the staff and ringmaster in the express
sion of ecstasy! Those old, simple
days!-Cornhill Magazine
