THIEF
 IS UNDER ARREST

New York, July 2s.-A man de- scribing himself as Alexander L. Frost, formerly a, second lieutenant in the British army and a graduate of the Royal artillery school at Woolwich, is under arrest as an alleged snatch thief who has made many of the sum- mer students at Columbia university his victims. He was caught yesterday by students and instructors who pur- sued him across the university grounds after the alleged theft of a, pocketbook from a student at work in the drafting room in Avory Hall. The police found the missing pocketbook on Frost's person and also several par1or car checks showing that he had made numerous trips from New York to New Haven and Cambridge and they say that his description tallies with that given of a man who has operated at Harvard and Yale. The police declare that he is on record as having been sentenced last August to six months in the workhouse for stealing at the Young Mems Christian Association here.

The dying princess en- joined upon her husband to sIay and bury in the same grave with her the physicians who had attended her. An other will was that of a husband who forbade his wife's marrying on pain of his returning to haunt her. This is quite different from that of a woman who instructed her executors to seek out ''some nice, good, pretty girl" who would make an affectionate second wife to her spouse.

EarIu RecIs-

The beds of the ancients were piles of skins. The first beds resembling those used in modern times were made of rushes and later of straw. The use of feathers in making beds has been attributed to the Romans, and Elaga- balus CHeHogabaIus) is said to have used an air cushion for pillow in 218. Air beds were frequently used during the sixteenth century. Feather beds were largely used during the reign of Henry VIII. of England.

There is no word easier for a child to say than ma" 1nIess it be "pa." In Hebrew and Arabic mother is "em'' and "am." It is mann in Welsh and ''moders in AngIo-Saxon. In other languages it is slightly differ ent, but near enough like our own word mother to make it an almost univer sal word, so that a child crying the word in any language could be under stood in almost any other language.

= -
William r. Hearst's string OF papers
are vile. Compared to the Appeal to
Reason, the Socialistic agitating publi-
cation, the latter assumes the nature Of
q pink tea sheet. Hearst has been re-
peatedly guilty of high treason against
the United States Government. His
kind fortunately are few and then
power for evil more or less circumscrib-
ed. but some day special legislation for
his like will be necessary. Il has been
said that Hesrst's venomous newspaper
attacks were responsible for the death
of Mckinley likewise. he sought to i'm
pugn the Taft regime aud it is plain
that he is seeking by every means at
his command o discredit the present
administrator just as it is setting about
upon the tasks of fulfilling its pre-elec-
ton campaign pledges. He moves not
through principle but through unholy
underlying motive.-Fallon Standard.
