Burglar Scare.

During the past week or two there has
been quite a burglar scare in Shepherds
town. Following the attempt to break
into the home of ChaS. r. Owens, nu-
merous midnight raids were reported,
though it must be admitted that there was
nothing very tangible TO the alleged oc-
currenceS. But the people have been
alarmed, anyhow, and those who slept at
all slept with one eye open and guns and
revolverS have been kept oiledand loaded.
Town Sergeant Shipley has had extra
help at night and the town has been faith
fully patroled. One arrest was made-a
colored youth who was Swallowed around
the town an hour or two after mldnlgh
and who could give no satisfactory rea-
son for his prowllngs. He was locked
I'D. but was later released, with warn
ing. The other night as Sergeant Ship
lev and one Of his assistants were passing
up Washington street several dogs began
to bark at them. "Happy" Maddox was
aroused, and, thinking that the burglars
were after him, he banged away with his
old shotgun, narrowly missing the two
policemen. Happy" was warned to
hereafter look before he shoots, for he
came near to exterminating our police
force.

There is grief that cannot find comfort
And wounds that cannot be healed.
And the sorrow, too deep in the human heart
That cannot be reve aled
Think not. dear husband. that thou art forgotten
For by me thou shalt never be.
As long as breath and memory last,
My thoughts will be OF thee.
O. father dear, we loved you so.
How sad il was 10 part
One dear thought OF your sweet face
Will cause gloomy heart.
With a smile of peace on his loving face,
There LET him sweetly rest:

It's hard TO say II is best"

ROOSEVELT RECEPTION TO
Be STRICTLY NON-PARTlsAN

Washington, May 27. - Concerning
the reception of former fpsident
Roosevelt in New York on June 18th,
Congressman Charles E. Creager. Of
Oklahoma said today:
Colonel Roosevelt deserves a
hearty welcome upon his return from
Europe and Africa and for one hope
my state will be well represented. The
tremendous reception rendered Grant
and Dewey showed the Importance Of
having as much system as possible
in caring for visiting delegations, also
that handling such crowd is tre-
mendous proposition.
TT seems to me particularly happy
that this is to be strictly a non-parti-
san affair Politics should not enter
into it in any way and don't believe
it will. Roosevelt is undoubtedly the
most popular of living Enericans in
private life and is one OF the first citi-
zens of the world. AS president he
stood for big things and he accom-
plished wonders for the good Of all
the country. 1t would be impossible
for the crowned heads of Europe to
show more signal honors to one of
their own number than they have
shown him, and yet he is the holder
of no Office whatever The most dis
tinguished commoners Of the world
have wed with each other in their eff
forts to show their appreciation of
this great American, but guess the
happiest day of his trip will be when
he sails into New York harbor and
sees what his fellow Americans have
in store for him."

Thus far. we are told. the change

lot and more anxious to reform.
This is only to be expected. man
is a man, whether in the home or in
the prison. and every man can feel
his own special disgrace and igno-
miny. All feel. no doubt, the shame
more than the punishment. They hate
a prison garb more than they do a
prison door Many man, willing to
pay the price Of his crime, is driven
almost to desperation by the ever
present unforgettable stripes that
mark him from his fellows. Many Il
