What I wish to do is to gravely con-

matter of carrying alOft the wicket
which has done duty for so many ages;
Of enlarging and adorning it, giving it
height, nobility, and splendor; OF achiev-

We all have our ideas as to how the

arouse themselves to action; the crying
need of our time demands it, and with

FOUR REVOLvERs STOLEN.
Amateur Thieves Equip ThemseIves
with "YOunE Arsenal"

A thief, evidently imbued with deter
minatlon TO violate the law against the
''toting" of concealed weapons or setting
up a private arsenal, smashed the glass
in a window of a store in Four-and-a-
Half street southwest early yesterday
morning and stole four large caliber re-
volvers and a large dirk knife.
IsadOr Rosenberg, who conducts the
store at 3l2 FOur-and-a-Half street, re-
ported the robbery to the police.
The police believe the robbery was
committed by amateurs, probably a gang
of boys bent upon playing wild West"
This theory is strengthened by the state
ment of a man who passed the store
shortly after midnight and heard several
boys talking Of gun toting."
