.ROBBER ENTERED
PUBLIC LIBRARY
ENTRANCE FORCED INTO PUBLIC
LIBRARY LATE LAST SATURDAY
NIeHT-pEsKs PRED OPEN
BUT NOTHING FOUND MISSING
REAR WINDOW BROKEN.

Among the Tobberies reported Sat
urday night was one at the public Ii
brary, corner Of Roberts street and
Second avenue north, which was en-
tered sometime between 10 o'clock Sat
urday night and early Sunday morn
ing.
Entrance was forced through a rear
window and the work of the robber
was found in several places. Cne OF
the desks of the librarian was pried
open and a pair of scissors found brok-
en-. Other evidences Of the robbers
visit were discovered.
Nothing was found missing when a
search was made yesterday though
many Of the magazines and papers
were left in a disorderly condition. The
window through which entrance was
forced was broken but no other dana
age was done.
1t is not known what the motive OF
the culprit could have been as no non
ey is ever kept in the building, not
even the fines on books which have
been belated in their return to the
shelves. Except for the volumes and
a few art pieces nothing Of great val
ne is kept in the building so the mar
auder's expedition was for naught.
No clue has been established to the
midnight visitor.

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

Police Magistrate Miller cooked his
feet upon his desk and proceeded to
entertain a few Of his friends who had
assembled after police cour this
morning.
Il was on one side of the reef fish,
ing with a big silverside, and a few
feet away from me was Lafe Twichell
fishing with the common every day
angleworms,' said the judge as he
cleared his throat.
I'VE had fished for nearly two hours
before we got next to what was going
on in the depths. My minnow was a
hungry cuss and he would grab Lafe's
worm and run with 1t. or cours Mr..
Twichell would pull, thinking he had a
bite. He would pull my minnow near
ly over to his side of the reef, then OF
course / would pull, thinking also that
7 had a good one on, but neither OF us
would make a catch.
"Of course he was troubled more
than ] was, for he had to bait up so
often, but at last--are you listening 2"
and the judge leaned clear over the
desk and his noseglasses dropped off
in his excitement.
my minnow swallowed the worm
and got well hooked for his pains, and
just It that minute a big small mouth
ed black bass seized my bait and start
ed away with both lines In his mouth.
AN argument started as to who
owned the bass-he claimed, but / got
the big fish. and how do you think !
got 1t?
Il simply coaxed my minnow to let
go of his hook and worm and Of course
the bass was mine.
Former City Attorney Shure was
along and each of us put up al argu-
ment, for We decided to permit him to
be referee and the decision was unan-
inously in my favor"
Fred Torgenson OF Grand Forks was
a visitor to the city last Saturday and

WENDELL PHILLIPS

Wendell Phillips was born in Boston.
November %. 1911. and passed the first
twenty-four years of his life without get
ting interested in anything except the
course OF study at Harvard-fOr study
was popular at Harvard in those days.
At the age of twenty-fOur Phillips sud-
denly became an abolitionist. Every one
was greatly shocked, for he was a young
man of fine family. and might easily
have led a happy and useless life sur
rounded by people who were very hard
to meet. But Phillips persisted and pres
emily he made a speech in Faneuil Hall
which caused him at once to be pro-
nOUnced the best free hand. embarrassed
orator in the United States.
At this time Phillips was only twenty
six, but he took up the work OF freeing
the slaves as enthusiastically as If it
paid dividends. and devoted his life to
the work. Wherever nine or fourteen
people were gathered together in Massa-
Chusetts for thirty years there Phillips
could be found addressing a few remarks
on the subject OF abolition. He was con-
sidered as good an orator as Webster
and in those days a man who could climb
aboard A mess Of feeCy words and soar
for an hour was considered to he greater
than the man who could take the stock
market and choke a million out of it.
When the civil war ended. Phillips
found himself without an occupation. The
slaves were freed and his large and we'll
selected stock OF speeches had spoiled
on his hands. But he went right along
advocating justice for the Indian, for
the immigrant, and for the criminal. He
