POLICE STILL SEEK
DRUG STORE BURGLAR
CHIEF BENNETT DENIES THAT
POLICE WERE UNAWARE OF
FiEND'S ACTS.

The police are still at work on the
burglary Sunday night which occurred
in the store of the Bethea Drug Com.
pany, on Main street, when more than
400 morphine tablets were stolen by
fntruders. Chief of Police Bennett
said today that 1t was the work of a
dope fiend. and that he believes the
police will have but little trouble
catching him.
IAN injustice was done the police
by the article appearing In The News
Tuesday" the chief continued "Tt
was stated that despite the fact that
the entire neighborhood was alarmed
at the shots fired at the retreating
burglar, the police knew nothing of IL
until couple of days afterwards. The
police did know of it, as the officer
on that beat was at the store a short
time after the excitement.
"a representative of The News who
called at police headquarters, asked
for general information concerning the
happenings in police circles. took n
for granted that he already had heard
of this burglary, and therefore failed
to mention 1t to him. That Is why he
gained the impression that the police
were ignorant of the store breaking.n

TO EAT

Eagle Lake Miss, April 22.-J. H.
Shepherd swears he has the smartest
horse in Warren county. The horse
just has been exposed by accident
after fattening up for two months at
the expense of Jim's absentminded-
ness.
Jim has several horses this spring
in his feed barn. He is somewhat alb

whether or not he had fed the stock
that he had to put clock in the
barn and feed exactly at six o'clock
morning and night.
In feeding he used to forget which
manger he had poured the chop feed
into, so some of the animals got two
feeds and some got none. To prevent
this he carried a piece of chalk and
as soon as he fed one animal he

but thought nothing of it until last
week.
He poured feed of oats into Wink's
manger and chalked up a mark. A
minute later the mark was gone and
he got curious. Next feeding time he
watched Wink. AS soon as the feed
was poured into the manger and Jim's
back was turned Wink stuck his head
over the manger and licked off the
chalk mark so as to get another feed.
Jim thought that was a good joke
on him and kept watching. Yesterday
he discovered that Wink is in the
habit of reaching up with his nose and
turning the hands of the clock to six
o'clock along about five and trying to
hurry up feeding time by about an
hour.

the weight of the five-story wall of the
old Steele-Smith building in Second

down on the three-story buildings dur

streets and stores were crowded with

The bodies of Ruth Johnson and

Following the crash and before the
work Of rescue started fire broke out
In the ruins of the Haha shoe store,
and for q time it was feared that the
flames would add to the HIST of victims.
The fire department was called out,
however. and heroic work finally re-
suited in extinguishing the flames.
AS the rescuers worked amid the
ruins the cries and appeals of the en-.
tombed victims filed the air, and the
heart-moying appeals spurred the
workers on to added endeavor. Little
hope is entertained, however. of bring
ing out any more of the victims alive.
The injured removed last night all
suffered from broken arms or legs and
several suffered internal injuries which
may prove fatal

Something like 80 freight cars of the
New Orleans & Northeastern Railroad
Company, are being brought into Hat
tiesburg to the shops of the Mississip-
pi Central where they will undergo a
course of repairs from the hands OF
the expert builders of that railway or
ganization.
AS a result of this decision, the
force of the Mississippi Central is be
ing increased. Many of the men who
were laid off some weeks ago on ac-
count of let down in work, are being
re-instated. If the thirty-car contract
is increased-and officials of the local
company believes that it will be-oth-
ers will be put back to work.
The cars are being repaired by the
Mississippi Central workmen because
of the high grade of work turned out
in those shops, and of the superior
equipment there. 1t is said that the
Mississippi Central shops are unexcel-
led by but few, if any, railroad COM
panies in the South.
Until a short time ago, the local
shops made a. specially of looking
after the broken down and repairs
needed cars of the Northeastern. Re-
Gently, however, but little of this work
has been done here. The decision to
again place the work in Hattiesburg
is taken as a compliment to the Hat
tiesburg shops.

How to Grow Up Lucky.

Old superstitions are always anus
ing. Some of those which are partic
ularly interesting tell US what should
be done for a babe to insure its fu
ture good fortune. In many lands
mothers to this day take pains te
observe these quaint old rites
An infant should be carried, 1t is
said. upstairs before 1t goes down
stairs. Should 1t be born in an attic
then its nurse must stand on a chair
with it in her arms.
A lucky baby will always handle its
spoon with its left hand rather thar
with the right.
In the Isle OF Man 1t Is considered
that walking round or stepping over
a child will make it grow up dwarfet
or wizened.
An unmarried girl should hold Z
newborn babe to bring It good luck
The more tumbles the Mttle one hae
n its first year the greater prosperity
viii It enjoy later in hfe.
