The girl had been left alone in tie

Of this fact and had gained entrance
by means Of false keys. He had cX-
amined all the rooms and had put his
plumber. consisting Of clothing, jewelry
and silverware, valued at 500, in a
large bag.
It was just as he emerged from the
kitchen, carrying the bag over his
shoulder that the girl reached the head
Of the stairs on the fourth floor and
confronted the man. She grabbed the

girl seized the man as he was strus-
CLING to his feet and screamed for help.

MONTCLAIR STARTS
NEW UpLIFT MOVE
Society to Keep Uplifters at
Home Nights Latest
Reform Plan.

over in Montclair, where the time and
energy % moral and social uplifters ara
so well fllled. il seemed hardly probable
they could assume any more burdens OF
uplift, the newest movement in the re-
form line is in a fair way 10 be launched
soon.
The latest uplift plan was aired at a
meeting in Unity Church Saturday night,
called TO discuss, so il was announced,
parental perplexties" and complex
community problems" Among the former
was the social excuses of the children
of Montclair, who, il has often been de-
clared. ape their elders in costly enter
tainments and parties, so that many or
them are blase at the tender ages OF nine
or ten While the uplifters were discussing
WAYS and means 10 have the boys and
girls return TO simpler and saner social
life II was suggested that the social life
Of their parents also needs the touch OF
reformation and that II too late hours,
costly entertainments and the tango were
sapping the lives OF the children, they
were doing exactly the same thing TO the
parents.
A material reduction in the number Of
entertainments for children during the
Christmas holidays was favored. One
brave man, a newcomer. caused sensa-
ton by asserting that any formal enter
tainments for children were ridiculous,
ana that the place for them nights was
at home. tucked into bed.
II was Herbert w. Dutch, principal Of
the high school, who announced the ne
cessity OF an "upift for uplifters" move
ment II am in hopes" he said, that
somebody will start a society that will
simplify the lives of parents who are
called out every night in the week to
attend social uplift meetings in Mont
clair"
Then Emerson Brooks startled the gath
cring with the statement that the negro
janitor Of the church had said that what
was most needed in Montclair was so
ciety TO keep people at home" Unity
Church, he said, was the nightly meeting
place OF some society or other, and the
same was true Of all the other churches
The meeting adjourned without organ
izing the new society, but something for
the uplifters may be undertaken yet.

Books for a Country Boy

wonder If among your correspondents
there Is not some one who has some books
suitable for a boy of 10 for which he or
she has not further use? He is fond OF
books of adventure and historical tales.
We are away out here in the country cut
ct reach of any library. and we cannot
afford to buy books for him Just now. l
fear to let him so without books, as he
may lose his liking for them. / will be
glad to pay express charges or freight
and give grateful thanks for good books.
MICHIGAN WOMAN
Remembering the generous gifts OF
rea6ing matter sent to the boy in the
woods, I feel safe in believing that the
want of this other country boy will be re-
memhered and supplied His mother is
a wise woman in wishing to have him cl1l-
tivate taste for reading. And how can
he do this without anything interesting TO
read? l hold his mothers address and
will be glad to send it TO anybody who
will write to one for ii. I hope before
long to be able to publish in the Corner
the grateful acknowledgment of reading
matter received by this 13-year-old lad,
far from libraries and intellectual tastes.
