SLEUTH HAS VERY HARD 4v8
Pass New Law Making Burglary
CAPITAL Offense.

Policeman Mccarthy of the Union
Market station, saw three men loiter,
ing in the vicinity of Goldstein &
Millinger's jewelry store on the East
side at three o'clock in the morning.
Aha" he says, It'll sleuth some"
And he did. He hid in a doorway.
Soon he saw two Of the men boost the
third over the front transom.
"Aha!" says he, I'll pinch EN-"
But he didn't. The two fed, leaving
the third inside the store, making a
most careful inventory of the stock,
as is done by all burglars in the best
sets.
Come out'r there!" ordered McCar-
thy, but the burglar merely hoisted
his hand to a position at right angles
with his face, placed his thumb
against his nose, and wiggled his dex-
ter fingers-a most uncompromising
position.
Come in and get me, yer big stiff"
he finally muttered.
THAT l will, me buckle, and twill
be no ladylike reception you'll re-
ceive when 1 make your a%cquaint-
ance," muttered Mccarthy. The rob-
ber's fingers continued to sway back
and forth.
Mccarthy got a box and tried to
climb over. He couldn't reach tho
transom. The robber advised him
to get a ladder. So Mccarthy got a
barrel and put his box on top of it.
Thus he managed to reach the tran
som. The burglar encouraged him.
you're doing fine, you big stiff" he
remarked.
You'll be doing finer when 1 reach
reach you," pulled Mccarthy. Then
he tried to wriggle in, as the bur-
glar had done. The robber was vol
uble with advice. Move a little to
the left, fatty" he jeered. Keep on
coming, or wait until l get some
grease and oil your sides"
Thus encouraged, Mccarthy came
through until he was amidship-and
then he stuck, for no human being
ever said Mccarthy was sylphlike.
The robber got busy. He collected
nice little missiles like humps of
coaD and bombarded the wedged-in
Mccarthy.
Come on; yer dom fine," he
jeered..
There was a supreme effort, and
with a mighty "Oof!" Mccarthy wrig-
gled through and, like a ton of bricks,
landed upon the little robber.

Her Personal Plate.

A young girl who has a great many
valuable small belongings and never
loses any of them, says that 1t is

everything distinctly with her full
name and town and country address.
For her parasols and umbrellas she
has a set of small silver plates OF OBJ.

ends, which are readily detached from
a handle and put upon another one.
Her golf sticks, tennis racquets, hand
luggage and the valuable collars which
her dogs wear are marked in the
same manner and on all OF her toilet
articles she has plate markings which
cannot be o%bliterated or easily
wrenched OF.
The first cost of these plates was
not very great, although all are OF
solid silver, and they were accumu-
lated 90 gradually that the money was
not missed from her allowance.

ak their ballots he would remove the

kept his promise by taking the mat

protested. but being legally bound had
to do as Gov. Sanders directed. Re-

A Republican Primary.
Donaldsonville Chief.

Donaldsonville Chief.
Not to be entirely out of the fash
ion, the Louisiana Republicans had
a little primary election of their own
on Wednesday,, the result of which
was a decisive victory for the party
organization headed by Frank B. Will
liams, as chairman of the State COM
mittee, and Pearl Wright as national
committeeman. The Cohen-K untz
faction, generally known by the sub
riquet of BLACK and Tans," elected
half a dozen members of the State
committee in New Orleans and the
congressional district, and probably
two in the country parishes, while
the regular organization chose all
the remaining members, numbering
about one hundred, and Hugh S. Su-
thon received a large majority over
C. j. Bell for the nomination as gov
ernor.

The Cane Cron.
Louisiana Planter.


The grinding season of 1911-12 is
now a thing of the past, and we glad
1y refrain from further comment on
it. Spring planting for the next crop
now engages the attention of our SUI
a planters, and this work is being
pushed as actively as possible. Last
Sunday there vas a very heavy and
general rainfall, which put a stop to
field operations of all sorts. but it
has been fair and predominantly cool
since. and the soil is now getting in
good shape very rapidly and planting
can be resumed. The seed cane, as
far as it has ben examined, seems to
be good. Clearing the land of aban-
doned cane, where SO encountered. is
a thankless task that is occupying
quite a number Of planters.

Probably n the heartiest laughs
which the duke Of Connaught, now
governor general Of Canada, ever en-
joys, says the Tattler, was that oc-
casioned by the remark Of an Irish
peasant, who one day while the duke
was driving in Dublin with the duch-
ess a alongside the carriage and
kept up with it in an astonishing fash
ion. SO persistent was the man in
his %endeavors to keep pace with the
carriage that at length the duchess
had the vehicle stopped and asked the
man what he wanted. He said that
he was anxious to get a good look at
their royal highnesses. The duch-
ess was much hatte-ed and asked him
how he mana ed to keep up with
them. "Oh," he said. 'shure. haven;

in couse Of construction and fell
striking his head against an iron bar.
He was knocked unconscious and
later when removed to the hospital Il
was found his skull had been frac-
tured. All efforts to bring him back
TO consciousness, failed. His case
is one of the most peculiar the
hospital physicians have had brought
to their attention.
