X short while ago as Sergeant Hayes of the police department was latching doors in Union square al l.35 a. m. he heard the whirr of an automobile com- ing up Main street He stood still in a dark spot, and soon a black machine carrying four men passed him. The machine was without light of any kind, which caused surprise. At first the officer thought the machine was going to Joys garage as 1t was headed that way. But 1t went past there and kept on down the Harris street hill, and stopped near Hammond hall. The engine was not stopped as the officer could hear 1t, and after waiting short while he started out to investigate, He took the middle of the street so that his footballs might not be heald, and when he got just below the garage he saw two of the men coming up to- wards the square on the sidewalk, The men saw the officer al the same time, aud he heard one of them say, "Beal 1t, here comes the cop.n They ran foI the machine, jumped in, and were ofl under high speed down past the Mon ohansett mill. The whole affair looked suspicious, and 1t was about the time that country post offices were broken into in this county.

Madame McGin- ley does some artistic posing and the dog assistant in the act is clever and decided novelty. Fred Bowman, the boy from Skeeterville, holds over from last week with budget of new things The family album, illustrated, is a bit of bright comedy that caught on from the start.
