WHERE THIEVERY is UNKNOWN
Localities in Europe Where Honesty
Is Simply a Matter of Fact
Part of Life.

Where in Europe does one find
really honest people? A traveller writ
ing in an Italian magazine says that
the Swiss canton of Ticino is .inhab-
tied by the most honest folk it is
possible to imagine.
In most of the Ticinese villages, the
writer says, the oldest inhabitants do
not remember any case of thieving,
however petty, within lifetime. Any
family that produced a thief would
not be tolerated in these ArCadian
communities for week.
Lost articles when found must
never be taken away; they must be
left where they were dropped or
placed in a conspicuous position so
that the rightful owner can find his
property more easily The case is
cited of an American woman tourist
who lost her purse on an excursion
In the Val Capriasca. The purse con-
tanned gold coin and a jeweled watch.
Upon returning from her trip she
found the purse with contents intact
on a little heap of leaves, so placed
that it could not fail to attract her
attention
The Scandinavians, too, have
great reputation for common honesty
In lonely parts of Sweden and Nor
way where medicines are not easily
procurable, chests containing drugs,
ointments. bandages and the like are
fixed on trees. No one ever thinks OF
using these articles without leaving
money in payment for them in the
cash box attached to the medicine
chest. Often the money is not col
lected for weeks, but it is never
touched.

EDWARD TILDEN'S ARREST
is ORDERED BY SENATE
Warrants Are Issued for Banker and
Aids-ControVersy to Go to
the Courts.

Springfield, H. = The Illinois
senate ordered the arrest of Ed
ward Tilden, president of the National
Packing company; George M. Bene-
diet cashier of the Drovers' National
bank, and William c. Cummings, pres
ident of the Drovers' Trust and Sa-
wings bank. This action was taken at
the close of an eight-hour session of
the senate during which several fiery
speeches were made. The vote by
which the arrest of the Chicago men
was ordered for failure to produce
their bank books before the Helm in
vestigation committee which is
probing the Lorimer scandal was 80
to 7.
Following the action of the senate,
Walter Clyde Jones, the senate floor
leader, held a conference with Judge
Nathaniel S. Sears, chief counsel for

FruttIess Literary Endeavor.

1t has been estimated that out of
every 10000 books written only 100
are accepted. Working on this basis
and assuming that 100000 books are
printed in England in any one year, it
follows that $4,000 books are doomed
to remain hidden forever in their au-
thoTs' locker or else be consumed by
the flames. Each book has probably
taken six months to write, and at this
rate nearly $4,000 years Of combined
work, for which not penny is paid,
has been spent in one year on fruit
less literary endeavor. At the rate
Of Ell per week, if the writer's had
Joined the labor ranks, they would
have earned over two and a half mil
lion pounds. And the lot of those who
have the good fortune Of getting
novel accepted is little more enviable,

THIEVES TIE NINE;
GET $4,000 LOOT
Armed Men Raid Chicago JeWeIry
Store in Daylight.
DRIVE UP IN STOLEN AUTO
Proprietor and Wife, Clerks, Statesmen
and Boys Forced to Lie on Floor
Face Downward While
Raid Proceeds.

Chicago - Robbery in Chicago
reached a thrilling climax when
four robbers in a touring car dashed
up to the jewelry store of Edward
Albert, 1915 Milwaukee avenue, in
broad daylight, forced nine persons
at revolver points to lie face down
ward on the floor, bound them hand
and foot, ransacked the display cases
and finally escaped with jewelry and
money amounting almost to $4,000
Messages containing description
of the robbers were sent to every sta
ton in Chicago and a city-wide search
was started for them
The police declare that the hold
up was one of the boldest in the city's
history.
Edward Albert, son of the owner
of the store, and Samuel Schmidt, the
manager, were standing behind a
showcase in the front of the store
when four men in an automobile
stopped in front Of the place. One
of the men remained in the machine
and the other three entered the store,
drew reVolvers and compelled Albert
and Schmidt to walk into a rear room,
which is used as a stock storeroom.
Frank Polewski, II years old, an
errand boy employed in the store, en-
tered next and he was covered with
four revolvers, each of the robbers
holding two weapons, and marched
back into the storeroom, where he,
too, was bound with clothesline
Norman Strauss, a salesman, and his
boy assistant entered the store few
moments later, to find the two armed
men in possession. The robbers
pointed revolvers at Strauss and the
boy and they were compelled to enter
the rear room and submit to being
bound.
An errand boy for F. A. Hardy, an
optician, was the next to walk into
the place. The robbers showed re-
volvers into his face and told him to
walk into the rear The boy obeyed
as fast as he could run He stretched
out on the floor and was bound
Edward Albert, ST., owner of the
store, and his wife, Mrs. Martha AL
the store. When they heard a COM
motion they descended into the store.
The two hold-up men covered them
with revolvers. They drove Albert
and his wife at a run into the rear
room, forced them to lie face down
ward on the floor, and bound them.
When nine persons in all had been
tied the two robbers who had been
working in the front of the store
opened sliding blinds inside one of the
front windows and took out two trays,
each containing twenty-eight diamond
rings.
The outside doors of the safe were
open and the robber pried open the
inner doors with steel bar. From
the safe the robber tcSk $500 in cash
and number of watches.
Edward Albert, Jr., the son, tried
to free himself, but one of the rob-
bers struck him on the head with a
revolver. Then the men bundled the
loot into the auto and fed.

ToNsILs BRING ON RHEUMATISM
Throat Specialist Declares Their Re
movaI Will Cure the Disease.

Baltimore, Md. - Before a scien-
tific meeting of the Medical and
Chirugical faculty DR.. H. w. Peter
man, one of the leading authorities on
the throat in the United States, de-
clared that rheumatism was not due
to uric acid or exposure, but was
caused by tonsils. He stated that the
tonsils of a child were necessary be-
fore it reached the age of six years.
After a person reaches the age of
twenty-one years, however, the tonsils
should have disappeared. If they
have not, they will eventually become
diseased and the germ of rheumatism
will enter the system through them.
If the tonsiIs are removed the rheuma-
tism will disappear in nine cases out
of every ten, where the disease has
not been seated long enough to de-
stroy the tissues.

The other method, called discolating,

a chicken by this method take the
head between the thumb and fore

beak; take the legs by the other hand

Then give a quick pull. just enough TO
dislocate the neck and break the spinal
cord. The skin of the neck is not
broken and the chicken is then hung
to bleed. The blood collects at the
base of the neck. This method should

use and not for a distant market, stree

DON'T USE AN AK, FATHER.

Don't use the ak. or the wringing
method for killing poultry. advises the
Kansas Industrialist. This not only
means pain to the chicken, but poor
bleeding follows the use of either.
Poor bleeding means poor flavor. and
poor flavor means a poorer market and
a lower price.
There are two approved methods for
killing poultry. One is called sticking,
the other, discolating. In both methods
the chicken is hung. head down, to
bleed. When the sticking process is
used, take the head of the chicken in
one hand and a thin, f1at-handled knife
in the other. The knife should have
a sharp-pointed blade and a straight
cutting edge, the blade being not more
than two inches long and one-fourth
of an inch wide. To kill the chicken
painlessly, thrust the knife through
the middle line of the roof of the
mouth until it touches the skull mid
way between the eyes. This paralyzes
the chicken. After cutting the arteries
in the neck, it soon bleeds to death. 1t
