BALDWlN'S OFFICE
 ROBBED OF $I2O
Sum Is Abstracted From The Governors Sanctum At The
 State Capitol

Hartford, Aug 22-The discovery of a robbery in the office of Governor Baldwin in the state capitol has just been made here hnd has startled the clerical force. The sum taken amounted to $12O and the theft was committed week or ten days ago, during the night season. The mat ter was immediately reported to the state police and a rigid investigation has been ordered.
 The money taken was an acoumu- latton of fees which had been re- cetved by the clerical officials of the executive department.
 The money was placed in @ tin box in the vault of the inner office before the department was closed for the night. There is an inner and an outer door on this vault, and if both had been closed it would have been diff cult, perhaps practically impossible, for any one to effect an entrance lin- to the vault. But the inner door was not fastened, and to this fact is due the robbery.
 Eight persons, including the watch men, have keys to the governors s office. There is no clue att the present time to the perpetrators of the rob- bery. ,
 Executive, Clerk Frank D.. Rood, who was on his vacation when the robbery was committed, was ques- toned about the matter today, but he refused to give any information in regard to the robbery orsto affirm or deny that 1t had taken place.
 This is not the first time that there have been robberies in the offices in the capitol building, but. just at this moment it cannot be recalled that there has ever. before been one so daring.

MILITANT SUITS SHAKE HARTFORD WITH BITTER TEARS

Hartford, Aug. 22-The trio of trav- cling militant suffragists left town, yesterday, in their highly decorated wagon and playing their hurdy gur- dy merrily. They were stopped all along the line by policemen but when they showed a permit from the chief of police were allowed to proceed. The women were somewhat bitter over the restrictions placed upon them in this city. Miss Wentworth, the English girl with the party, is a rabid suffra- gette. She has been jailed seven times and four times forcib1y fed The others have also been in jail because of zeal for the cause
 They will be joined in Springfield whence they are bound, by Colonel Mrs Craft, who was a commander in the Washington hike.

ing the liver, which always shares in diseases of these organs. The first thing to be done in such a case is to use suitable laxative for the pur- pose of cleaning out whatever may remain of the original cause and then a light diet must be adopted for sev- eral days, in some eases complete fast ing being necessary. to allow the irri- tated mucous membrane to recover. Tn most cases, however, some light food, such as boiled milk, milk toast, soft boiled eggs, etc, in small amounts may be taken during the treatment. The Compound Gentian so often men toned in these notes will rapidly aid in completely eliminating the polsons which have resulted from the acute indigestion by stimulating the liver and kidneys to more acttve work Af- ter the acute symptome have subsfded, a diet of laxative. foods, such as bran bread, green vegetables, fruits, etc, should be used for some time. Do not forget that during hot weather the starch, fats and sugars of the ordinary diet should be reduced at least one half. Butterni1k is an excellent food and drink combined. Water to the ex- tent of four to six pirits daily between meals should be taken.

Unlike most birds, the sbe5 do not
brood their eggs continually. 1t is only
at night and on cloudy days that you
will find them at home. AS soon as the
sun has risen and warmed the clAlly
morning air the old bird leaves her
nest and, collecting decaying vege-
tation from the shore or bottom of the
lake, she covers the eggs with thick
layer and leaves the sveltering mass
of streaming muck to hatch them
while she spends the day in idleness
or play.

"Ah! This is the office of the Wish
master He takes the place of post
master with us. and q busy man he is
too. This is about how he talks to
himself as he records the wishes as
they come over the wishophone:
"a sled for Billy, skates for Joe;
A wish that Christmas will bring us snow;
A poor woman wishes 1t won't be cold;
Dick wants a suit for a soldier bold;
Dolls for a million or more of girls
With go-to-sleep eyes and flaxen curls;
Billions of boxes Of candles and such:
Books in French. English, Spanish and
Dutch
And every known language under the sun;
Wagons and pistols, watches that run.
"But here's old st, Nick himself
Listen to him. But forgot that while
he understands all languages he speaks
only Fantasmia, SO I'll have to trans
late. He says:
"'Hello, chicks! So you've come to
see your dear old friend, have you?
Glad Of it! Make yourself at home.
Yes, we're busy, very busy, indeed, but
never too busy to be polite. We have
every kind of factory in the world here,
and all rushed with wishes. / tell you
1t keeps US busy sort ng them. Why,
If we filed every order just as it came
the world would be a funny place.
Just think Of it! Here's little picka-
ninny wishes to be painted white, an
other boy wishes he was a man, and
a man wishes he was boy, and a girl
wishes she was boy, and so on, but
we got q funny wish during the dull
season last summer. A little boy
whose mamma would not let him go
in swimming every day wished he
would be turned into fish so he could

That reminds me of the saying in
Mother Goose:
"'"If wishes were horses, beggars
would ride And charming lady

me every now and then. and I'm glad
to hear from her. I'll read you her

To give to Me a relish.
