Night.

o. B. French, proprietor Of the old
Berryhill saloon near Twelfth and
Main streets, discovered that his sa-
loon had been robbed when he went
to the barroom Sunday.
The theft was evidently committed
Saturday night between the hours OF
11:45 and l o'clock. From the cash
register about four dollars in silver
was taken and several quarts of whis-
key were missing from the saloon.
The thief left 1885 in the cash regis

going to any extra trouble. He was
either generous or scared away from
the job
The burglar made entrance to the
saloon by taking some loose iron bars
out of the old window frame in the
rear. These removed, the window
was raised and admittance WIS easy.
The police did not learn Of the rob
berry until some time after the place
had been broken in and of course like
other instances where the officers are
not told of thefts, the perpetrator OF
the crime got away.

parents in a large apartment house in
New York. She was very unhappy be-
cause her mother would not let her go
out alone. She could not see how ~
was that her papa and mamma could
go out alone. Her mother told her
that when she grew up she could, so
Mazda made wish that she could
grow up at once
A good fairy passing by heard the
wish, and, picking MAZDA up in her
arms, carried her far up north, where
Kris Kringle had his workshop. 1t
took only minute to go from New
York to the home of the good kind man
who makes toys for the little boys and
girls for, as everyone knows, fairy
can fly around the world as fast as
one can think. Mazda was very happy
to meet Kris Kringle because he show
ed her all his wonderful toys and in
troduced her to his workmen, and
made things very pleasant for her.
Kris kringle's workshop was a toy
land in itself, 1t was simply packed
with toys. Among the toys were two
very interesting ones-Ja -ln-the box
and the Candy Kid. These poor toys
could talk. but they had no limbs.
Mazda was very sorry for them and
told Kris Kringle 80. He then told
her that if she wanted them to have
limbs all she had to do was to make
a wish to that effect She did this and
at once they hoped around the room
in great glee. Jack-in-the-box had one
trouble and that the springs that kept
him going had to be wound up ever SO
often which made 1t bad because he
would run down just as they were hav.
ing great fun. The Candy Kid was
made out of great stick of striped
peppermint candy and he had to keep
warm or he would go to pieces. Be
tween the troubles of these two in
teresting toys, Mazda was kept very
busy.
Although she was having the fun Of
her life still Mazda was not satisfied
She wanted to grow up So Kris
Kringle told her there was only one
way to get her wish and that was to
go to the Top of the World where the
North Pole was sticking up out of the
earth, and that when she arrived there
