The atmosphere's punctured by gyrat-

Signs That Never Fail.
If there is wisp of hair here and
there upon the rolling pin, it is a sign
that there has been an argument. also
that there is suffraget in the family.
II there IS a pair OF shoes hanging
on the chandelier in the morning, it
is sign of an approaching storm.
If small boy sleeps with one foot
out of the window and a string tied
to one of his toes. it is a sign he is
the family can stop him.
If man invites an old college chum
home to dinner without warning, it is
a sign that there is not going to be
very much to eat in the house,
If a man goes to a hospital for an
operation, it is a sign that he is going
to spend lot of money.
If man drinks a pitcher of hotel
ice water in the morning without stop
ping to use a glass, 1T is a sign that he
was not in bed at o'clock on the previ-
Gus evening.
If a man puts five dollars a week in
the bank it is a sign that he is not
going to die in the poorhouse.
Proper Feeding for the Baby.
Never allow a child to eat corned beef
and cabbage before he is three months
old, although he may be very fond of
it.
Don't allow the three months-old
child to eat spaghetti or macaroni and
cheese with the left hand. Teach him
to use a fork.
Five-months-old children should not
be allowed to eat salmon turbot or
garlic salad too soon before retiring
at night. Common sense should guide
the parents in these things.
No child should be given rock candy.
or roundhouse steak before it has
teeth.

new lighthouse tender, to take the
place Of vessels that have grown old in
looking after lights and buoys in the
local lighthouse district, is to be built
in the coming fall, and bids for the

will be 1O4 feet g inches long over all,
81 feet long at load water line, % feet
beam and 8 feet 10 inches nodded
depth, and to register 100 tons. The
bids will be for the hull and machinery
or hull and joiner work and machinery

numbers from light vessels and making
the names on their sides as brief as
possible. lightship No. 40, which was last
week replaced on the Cape Charles sta
ton. after a thorough overhauling, is
doing duty without numbers on bow

that the idea of making the change is
that the short name may be made
larger so that it can be made out by

MEETS TWO STRANGERS;
LOSES MONEY AND PIN
Visitor In the City Robbed Follow
ing the Old Game Of Match
ing Coins.

A diamond pin valued at 500 and $40
In cash. were last night taken from L.
v. carp former manager Of the st.
George Cafe, Norfolk, Va. by strangers
whom he met on the street It is thought
by the police that the robbery was COM
mitted by men who have been coming
here from time to time and swindling
other visitors matching coins.
Earp's horseshoe pin in his tie attracted
the attention Of one or more Of the al
legged sw1ndlers as he stood at PennSyl-
vania avenue and 18th street northwest,
and soon one Of the men made his &C
quaintance. carp was asked if he knew
il there was Keith's Theater in this
city. He said he. was unable to answer
the question. as he was a stranger.
It was Just what the crook wanted to
know. The acquaintance thus formed was
followed by a visit to q cafe and the
meeting Of a second crook. Coins were
matched for cigars, carp stated, and
then the game was for money.
A stroll in the direction Of the Mall
was suggested and the trio stopped on B
street opposite Center market beneath
an arc light and renewed the matching of
coins. It soon became necessary for
carp to take roll Of bills from his
pocket in order to participate in the
game. and when he did SO. he states, one
Of the men grabbed it.
The second man. he says, grabbed his
diamond pin and then both started to
run away. A third man appeared upon
the scene and prevented carp from pur-
suing the two men he alleged had robbed
him.
Somebody's been robbed the third
man shouted, holding to carp until the
alleged robbers were out of sight.
Then he let go carp and the latter went
to find a policeman. Two policemen were
found not far distant. They were told
of what had happened and they went in
search Of the robbers, but failed to get a
trace Of them.
carp related the story Of his experience
to detectives later in the night furnish
ed them with de scriptions Cf the men. a nd
said he would shortly return to his home
