THIEF LOCKS CLERK IN
ICE-BOX; LOOTS PLANT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 49,
John w. Long. a night clerk of an ice
manufacturing company, was thawed
out yesterday after having been locked
in an ice box by former employee of
the company, who then rified the
cash drawer.
An early arriving wagon driver
heard Longs feeble cries and traced
the sound of his pounding fists to the
big ice box Nearly frozen and
exhausted. Long reported the affair
to the police.

Between
Ourselves

Mr. John Cotton Dana, secre-
tary and librarian of the Newark
Free Public Library, says; Don't
skim novels, read them" We
quote below an excerpt from the
current issue of the ''Newarker."
Some people skim novels,
skip through them, catch the
story and nothing more. A
novel, a novel worth looking
at, Is the last book In the
world to be skipped. Outside
of fiction, few, very few,
books are to be read through.
They are the roots of learn
ing, and are to be used as
lovingly or as brutally as one
may please. But II, when you
read novel, you simply grab
at the story, as a hunter
sometimes kills game for
horns and hide, why go
further than the murder and
divorce columns in the morn
ing paper? You might as we'll
read the common run of his
tories with their inconse-
quental gossip as read no
BILE story simply for the tale.
Few people read books as thor
oughly and as painstakingly as
they should. The average Ameri-
can reads as he eats-rapidly.
One should assimilate a novel the
same as food. Undigested books
are as injurious as undigested
food. Don't be a literary dys-
pepticl

Colored Methodist Rally.

Last Sunday the African Methodist
church raised S745 in a special rally
which is TO 90 towards the erection OF a
new church. This is a series OF rallies
which will be had during the year.
They are basing their rallies upon un-
ioue plans. The church membership
was divided ioto two tribes-known as
Bishop Turner Club and Bishop Chap
pelle Club. June Walker was head OF
the Turner tribe and raised S270. Col.
Inns is the oldest steward 10 the church
and Walker is the Oldest trustee. AT
three O'Clock the Baptist and Methodist
congregations met in union session, the
sermon was delivered by Rev. Garrick,
Dastor of the Baptist church. At this
service SIS was raised in the penny"
collection. Much enthusiasm was mani
tested in this rally by the entire negro
population in Manning, and great
crowds attended all the services. They
are to raise $4,000 before beginning the
work. This mouey will be placed on in
tsrest 10 the banks here until 1914
The new structure proposed for erec-
tiou is TO cost $4,000 and will be built
of brick. Rev A W. Timmons, the
new pastor at the colored Methodist
church, is praised as being a great
leader among his people in church work
and is adding uew life to the work IN
Manning.
The union meeting between the negro
commandments of the Baptist and Meth
o,list is said 10 be the first meeting of
its kind in the history of their churches
and is spoken of as sign of eradicating
the semhlance of feeling which use to
exist. The colored Baptisrs raised $500
in their rally the f rst Sunday in March.

DR.. johnson and Tea.

Jonas Hanway was, an in7eterate foe
to tea and wrote a pamphlet in which
he ascribed the majority Of nervous
disorders to tea drinking. he declared
that the practice was sapping the Vigor
Of Englishmen and spelling the beauty
Of women and expressed horror at the
fact that no fewer than six ships were
employed in the China tea trade. Dr.
Johnson, who reviewed Hanway's dla-
tribe in the Literary Magazine, prefac-
ed his criticism with the frank aVoWal'
'The author is to expect little justice
from a hardened and shameless tea
drinker, whose kettle has scarcely time
to cool, who with tea amuses the even
ing, with tea solaces the midnight and
with tea greets the morning" but even
he admitted that tea drinking was not
good for the working classes, as he
thought it an inducement to idleness.

Animal Life.

The May fy's life is complete in four
to FIVE hours. during which it is born,
natures, loves. fights, mates, propa-
gates and dies. The ordinary moth
lives three to four days, the locust
(grasshopper) lives four weeks. dragon
fly six to eight weeks, male bees or
drones four to five months, snails two
to three years. queen bee two to three
years, mouse six years. squirrel slE
years, pigeon ten to twenty years, ca
nary twelve to fifteen years, rabbit ten
years, brer fox fourteen years, craW-
fish twenty years. pig twenty years,
lion thirty-fve years, toad frog forty

parrot 100 years, golden eagle 104
years, white headed vulture us years,
pike 200 years, carp 200 years, elephant
200 years and swan 300 years.
Considering the fact that the aver
age mans age is only about thirty
three years, it will be seen that many
