AUTO PARTS ARE
STOLEN BY BOYS
PIcKANINNIES SWIPED SEVERAL
BOXES OF SMALL PARTS AND
TRIED TO SELL THEM TO A
TAXI MAN.

Three small negro boys were cor
rallied early last. night, and this morn
ing will in all probability be turned
over to the probation officer. One or
them who was caught from a bunch
of three, and who was turned over
to the police by w. A. Suggs, gave the
police the names of the other two
boys who was with him. They were
both looked up during the night.
Suggs told the police that the boys
approached him while he was at the
San Carlos auto stand, and showed
him several boxes of small auto parts
and asked him what they were. He
thought they had been stolen and in
terested the boys in short CONVEX
sation, until he could find out where
the boxes came from. Then he started
to grab the negroes and they fled. He
caught one and shortly presented him
to an auto repair shop, whose pro-
prietor said he had missed the num-
Der Of boxes taken from the negroes.
They were all charged at the station
with being dangerous and suspicious
characters.

HE WANTS NO MONEY

Prisoners are particularly warned
against the lawyer who wants no
money until he has secured his eli
ent's release.
There are many lawyers who in
vite confidence by promising pris-
oners that they do not want a cent
until you are on the street" This
sounds good but it is bunk" Such
lawyers talk glibly about putting
the money in escrow. By this meth
cd they find out how much money
the mans relatives can produce.
When the money is to be placed in
escrow the lawyer usually suggests
an accomplice as stakeholder, and
the escrow agreement is drawn so
the lawyer may soon draw on the
money. If Mr.. Lawyer fails to have
the money put in escrow he begins
to talk for $50 or 500 expense
money and frequently he gets it.
Honest lawyers seldom hover
about jails and penitentiaries and
the man who commits crime usually
meets his superior criminal in the
lawyer who pretends to be his
friend.--Joliet Prison Post.

they have been rubbering out of
pure admiration. Ask your brother
about it. If he's got any sense he'll
tell you about some things that will
be hard on your vanity and good for

you'll lay that dress away and don

THRIFT

Thrift is a composite quality. 1t
embraces nearly all the great vir
tues.
1t involves industry. prudence,
forethought, self-denial.
1t certainly has no relation to Mig
gardliness or meanness.
Some men would let their grand
mothers starve for the sake of few
dollars. Such actions cannot be
called thrifty. A virtue carried to
excess becomes vice.
Thrift does not take into partner
ship honesty and character that de-
velops into covetousness and avarice.
Thrift is the opposite of prodigal
ity, improvidence, and waste.
Thrift means better home, better
food, more comfort, more enjoyment,
less waste, and less anxiety,
Many people have earnings SO
small that saving seems impossible.
But this is no reason for their being
untbrifty. 1t is. on the contrary.
reason for making the best of the
little they have for their health,
comfort and true happiness.
A few dollars in the home, or in
the savings bank. or any safe invest
ment, is as good seed as ever was
sown. Out of it grows confidence.
quickened energies, frmer courage.
more stalwart thought and hope.

dence and self-respect that lifts

HAS WALKED 66,500 MILES

When Oliver T. Angvik swung his
mail sack from his shoulder in the
Superior postoffice last Satur-
day afternoon, he completed travel
ing distance of $500 miles
while on duty for Uncle Sam for
% years equivalent to walking
two and one-half times around the
earth, the Duluth News-Tribune says.
The route covered by Angvik is
known as the lower Tower run"
from Sixth to Third streets, in the
center of the foreign district. where
so much time is taken up by poor
addresses and mistakes. In the re-
cord books at the postoffice he is
credited with covering an average
of ten miles day,
On this basis figuring the average
working year as being 800 days,
which discounts Sundays and a two
weeks vacation allowance, Angvik
has tramped the streets of Superior
in rain or shine. snow or hail, on
ordinary business days and on the
gayest of gay holidays without any
unreasonable number of days off,
$500 days-66,000 miles. Ills ap-
pointment July l, 1892, gives addi-
tional time between July 1, 1914 and
August 81, total of 460 miles travel.
Several extra days work provide the
few miles which make up the diff
ference aggregating 66,50O miles.
Should the Superior Edward Pay
son Weston figure his travels out in
distance across the United States,
he could claim the distinction of
having crossed the continent % times
or once a year with several hundred
miles to spare. The average dis
tance from coast to coast is approxi-
mately 5000. Again he could esti-
mate his travels between Superior
and St. Paul as aggregating 416
times.
Angvlk's daily mileage is rather
small compared TO other members
of the departments delivery staff.
but the added work of disbursing
mail matter in the foreign district is
responsible for the deficit.
Angvlk's walking record is re-
markable, and glves him the right to
put in a claim for the championship
distance prize, if there is one offered.
Although he literally keeps to thu
beaten PATH in his travels, he never
theless has rough roads to meet,
which would probably make the sea-
soned cross-country traveller shy at
disputing any statements of his
achievements.
The healthful exercise is the
best inducement to the work, Ang-
vik declares. Out in the open at all
times, inside work soon becomes a
bugbear, he says, and offers no in
ducements whatever to change:

The severity of his punishment
was probably due to the fact that
the killing came but shortly after
the Custer massacre, when the anti
Indian feeling was at fever heat.
Because of this Spo Pee has forfeit
ed half OF his three score aud ten,
and has no redress. The New York
Globe finds general significance in
this and remarks that this is one of
the grayest faults of our judicial
system" Freedom is precious, and

the State should pay for the mis-
take. Evidently he is willing to be
convinced that be is a very lucky
person. and harbors no grudge. be-
you'd thinking that white people are
very queer. He marvels a bit that
whereas they condemned him and
left him in solitude for thirty odd
years, now they crowd around HIM,
bang on his words. and show him
every courtesy. He is conscious of
no change in himself, and so he
wonders IN vain. He has fastened
westward to meet his daughter
again, who Is now Mrs. Take Gun;
but first he was shown little of the
city in which he has been so long
confined. The Washington Times
says:
Spo Pee's first glimpse of the out
side world from which he had been
snatched so ruthlessly was had in an
automobile ride. Mr.. and Mrs.
Russell MacLennon and Delegate
Robert J. Hamilton, of the Black
foot tribe, took him for a spin
around Potomac Park. Then they
went to the New Capitol Hotel for
dinner. and in the evening he was
received at the Office of Indian Com
missioner Cato Sells, where group
of newspaper men ard officials Of
the Indian Office gathered to shake
hands with him.
There he sat, with stoical good
nature, in wonderment of the at
tentlon he was attracting now. He
was dressed in American clothes,
his hair closely cropped, and his
iron-.ray mustache added to his re-
semblance to many bronzed white
men one sees daily.
Back to Indian dress? Oh, no.
White collar nice. Shoes nice. |
like white mans clothes. Never go
back to Indian Clothes" he told his
friends.
HIS air while on his automobile
ride was that of a retired business
man enjoying an evenings spin. He
looked with placid and calm inter-
est at the strange sights, to him, of
the city, but only once did he show
any surprise. He gave start when
he saw electric signs as they lit up
and went out again.
How funny" was his comment.
and he chuckled in amusement at
this curious new spectacle.
Once he was driven near a mar
ket-wagon on which the driver was
asleep.
Unless the horse know the way,
that man never get home," he told
his interpreter.
Spo Pee was equally composed
when he faced the gathering await
ing him at Commissioner Sells Of

missioner. with others, had Deen

APRIL l9 a. FATAL DAY
I'D. A. III. Historian Recounts Some
Familiar Instances

why should April 10 be the pivo-
tai date In the call TO arms OF The
American people in every national
conflict? For certain it LIS that Ameri-
can history is indissolubly connected
with this fatal date"
Mrs. Hester Dorsey Richardson,
state historian of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, at the chap
ter meeting asked this question in a
paper which she read on the subject.
Mrs. Richardson pointed out that
on April 10, 1774, the first shot was
fired at Lexington, Mass, and this
shot was the beginning Of the revolu-
ton.
On April 10, 1861, Lincoln issued a
proclamation declaring that all Of the
ports Of the seeded states be blockad-
ed. This was the beginning of the
Civil War.
On April 10, 1898, the joint resolu-
ton was passed by Congress which
resulted in the Spanish American
War.
And it was ON April 10 of this year
that the ultimatum was sent by the
president Of the United States to Huer-
ia, fixing April 10. at p. m, as the
time for the latter to salute the flag.
The blockade began the next day.

a resting place for, in the basket. 2
kick came back, but it didn't hurt
Next we had a modest account OF
suicide, written up without any "hor-
rible details" and already in type,
when a request came from the family
mot to print" and we withdrew that
Several items which would have caus-
ed surprise and gossip, and which
were legitimate enough as news"
but which would have caused I'M
necessary pain to some, went into the
left-cut heap.
Several other articles which we
didn't care to print, and which
amounted practically to waste time
and paper, had to 60 in, because
offense would have been taken II
they had not appeared. Several
"jokes" had to be black-listed, because
some of the parties interested would
have failed to see the joke, and per-
haps visited our Office with a club.
And while we are Tossing up" let
us say that the remarkable case OF
the preacher and his hospital exper-
fence, was an Office slip, caused by
pressure at the last minute for some
thing about it's size to fill up" first
page space. AS a rule, we dodge
freak stories. just as we do Police

We felt that he had the illusions
sized up about right, SO we spent
some time fixing his verdict into
readable shape, but at the last min
ute we weakened, and that went into
the category OF wasted good inten-
lions.
Along with these little experiences,
we had to QuGnch the spirit, to lam
bast a fellow who don't understand
plain English when he sees and hears
it, and this caused us to mentally
cali the nan a liar who first invented
the yarn about the freedom of the
PRESS and to feel badly because of
what the preachers tell Us about our

want to "omit" this, but found a
feeling of greater self-respect after

And this little heart to heart talk
really covers about the average

offices, we think. Sounds pleasant
and interesting doesn't it? Always
something doing, and just little diff
