IRON RIVER


Pioneer.
When John Rifkin opened his
store Tuesday morning he soon dis
covered that an attempt had been
made to burglarize the place. The
knobs on the safe had been broken
off, and an iron stool, evidently en-
ployed as hammer, was lying be-
side the safe.
The job looked like that of an
amateur who was not at all equipped
for that kind Of work.
Entrance was gained through a
window in the rear of the building
which leads into the warehouse and
coal bin.
Mr.. Rifkin said that he thought
that some articles OF clothing were
taken, but of this he was not at all
certain when interviewed Tuesday
morning.

THE MAN IN THE STAGE.
A Grim Tragedy of the oIden Days In
New York City.

A Grim Tragedy of the oIden Days In
New York City.
A good many years ago, long be-
fore skyscrapers and rapid transit
were thought of and New York
was just big growing town, they
used to tell story that was ghast-
ly enough to curdle the blood of the
most skeptical and to keep people
Df nervous temperament awake of
nights.
The tale went that of summer
night husband and wife, return
ing home from the theater, entered
a Fifth avenue stage far downtown
and for many blocks were the only
occupants. A little above Four
teenth street, however, the stage
came to an abrupt stop, the door
was opened and three young men
entered. One of the three had evil
IDENTIFY been drinking heavily, for
his companions were obliged to help
him to his seat. The door was clos
ed behind them, and the stage con-
tinued its journey northward.
About ten blocks farther on one
of the young men rose and, bidding
his friends good night, stopped the
stage and alighted. A few minutes
later the second of the three said,
"Well, good night, Dick" pulled
the strap, stepped to the sidewalk
and walked off through one Of the
side streets. There remained in the
stage only the husband and wife
and the young man who was obvi-
ously under the influence of liquor
and who sat in crouching attitude
in a corner of the stage under the
dim Pickering lamp.
After time the husband noticed
that the young mans head seemed
to be dropping as if in sleep, and,
fearing that he might be borne be-
yond his destination, he rose, tap
ped him on the shoulder and called
attention to the number of the
street they had just passed. There
was no response, and the husband
repeated his words, leaning over as
he did so. Then he suddenly
Strengthened up, turned to his wife
and said quickly, eve will get out
here"
She began to protest, but he
simply repeated the words, pulled
the strap and helped her to alight
AS they stood under the corner
lamppost she turned qucstioningly
and asked him why he insisted on
their getting out of the bus so far
below their destination.
Because" he replied, "that
young mans throat was cut from
ear to ear"

The Kind of Piece It Was.

One evening at IA social function
where Sarasate was among the
guests a young violinist had the
bad taste to play one of Sarasate's
compositions with variations of his
own creation. The latter were in
appropriate and inartistic and jar
red upon the ears of all. The per-
former ended his work and made
his way to Sarasate, doubtless ex-
pecting word of recognition or
praise. Sarasate said nothing, and
the player finally asked, 81 hope
you recognized that piece?"
Certainly" Sarasate promptly
replied; sit was piece of impu-
dence."

Perjury.

Perjury.
There is practically no differc nee
in law between an oath and an at
frmation. False testimony given
under either is perjury. punishable
by a term in the penitentiary. An
oath is sworn to on the Bible. Per-
sons who object to testi1y.ng under
that form are permitted to make
affirmation of the, facts to which
they testify. The one form Of testi-
flying is just as binding as the other.
