SAYS THIEF MURDERED

Relatives Believe Farmer
Recognized Robber Who
Stole $4,000 From Him
EXPECTED MUCH
LARGER HAUL

SNOW HILL, Md, Aug. 1s.-The
authorities of Worcester county are
moving cautiously in their investiga-
tion of the murder OF Samuel Cha
than.
Frank l.. Bennett, Chatham's near
est neighbor and probably his most
trusted confidant. says that IT. would
have been woll-nigh impossible for
a stranger to have gone 10 the farm
and committed the deed without COM
ing upon some person living in the
neighborhood.
Relatives have taken possession OF
the old mans valuable papers. They
believe he knew the man who robbed
him of $4,000 several years ago. They
advance the theory that this person
and another came Saturday morning.
believing that Chatham was away, as
was his custom on this day OF the
week. They are Of the opinion that
the intruder was surprised by Chat
ham and that the latter was killed 10
prevent arrest.
II Is said that Chatham had come
into possession of a large sum Of
money from the sale of a big tract OF
timber. and that his distrust OF banks
had caused him to secrete the money
about the house, and that the robber
returned, expecting a bigger haul.

THE PASSION
 FOR JEWELRY.

The power of the human desire for precious stones was we'll displayed at the American Jewellers convention, which met at New York the past week. Five tons of jewelry were on exhibition. The assembled delegates were informed that the time had come to determine fashions. in jewel ry that should change with the years and seasons.
 If this idea proves popular, costly jewelry will be even more of luxury and addition to the cost of living. As things have been, one could make a present of a handsome ring or pin, and feel confident that it would be just as appropriate and stylish in 50 years as it was when the gift was made. But perhaps>in few years it will be as out of style as the hobble skirt.
 Precious stones are a, luxury that eats up many fortunes Most men get along very comfortably with little or none of it. The traditional hotel clerk, of course, was supposed to have a diamond blazing in his shirt front as big as small electric search light Usually today he wears a negHge shirt and looks like other folks, and slime other types of men likewise. But there is no abatement among women of the demand for gems.
 The desire for precious stones is not an unworthy or discreditable taste. It is a love for the purest quintes- sence of beauty to be found on the planet. an appreciation of the 1Ioveli- ness of creation. The trouble is that the hands of many women, covered with sparkling rings, offer coarse and barbaric suggestion of money and display of wealth. This promotes en- vious feelings in the minds of those less fortunate, is an indictment to crime, and often a waste of family resources
 The power of fashion is great. It seems quite possible that the jewellers will be able to promote sales by ere ating new styles each season. dis carding older fashions as obsolete. The jewellers can't be blamed for pro noting their sales in this canner, but the result would be to promote ex- travagance with many people.

FOR THE VAIN LITTLE MISS.

ty model meets the desires of the little maid and satisfies the demand for something practical at the same time. It is made of white linene. has long. one piece sleeves and belt that may extend all the way around the length ened waist-Iine or be arrested at ei- ther side of the front and finished with pearl buttons.
 For miss of four years 2 yards of 36 finch material will be required to make the dress Some mothers do not care at all for long sleeves for their youngsters. The design shown here may be shortened by cutting off the pattern along line of small sto'' perfo- rations.
 Before attempting to cut out any of the various parts. however. the linene is folded in half sso that the collar the back and the front may be arranged along the Iengthwfse fold. Along the seIvage edge the belt is laid, and if the short effect is preferred the front edge of the belt may be cut off along small to'' perforat5ons. The sleeve section is laid over a asIengthwise thread of the goods.
 A touch of hand embroidery makes a nice finish for the. collar and the front of the dress wf1ere the belt is slipped through unstitehed pleats. The front is slashed to accommodate the piping of contrasting material and fur nish a background for the button trimming.
 This model is capable of attractive variation For instance. it may be made of lightweight serge trimmed with belt and collar of plaid silk. Such a combination is as effective in tub materials as in serge and silk. howev- .er. and much less expensive
