dOghOuSe. 1t was empty. Kent
crawled into it.
What to do next" he painted help
lessly. ooh, 1 am in a terrible fix"
AS he lay among the straw, hunt
ed fugitive, Kent reflected how his
careless habits had probably cost him
the position of his life. Two weeks
previous a friend had suggested that
he apply to the railway mail service
in the city for an appointment. Kent
did so, and wonderfully attracted the
attention and admiration of the agent
of the government with the accuracy
and swiftness with which he was able
to throw mail. He was advised that
his references would be looked up
and if he passed muster he would be
offered a good position. Now, an ac-
cused thief, they would scarcely con-
slider him.
"Pm a coward to run away when
l am innocent" he unused bitterly,
''but can't face the music. Even if
freed the humiliation would crush
me. I'll stay in hiding here for a few
hours and then leave the town and
Lima forever" i
Kent fell asleep. He was awakened
perhaps two hours later by the
sound of low voices. Peering out he
saw two men, strangers to him.
Look here" one of them was say
ing, we've held up one man and
looted four houses. There's one
more in the block. You rest the
booty and guard it while I see if there
is anything else worth getting. Then
We'll go to our autoombile in the
woods and speed for the city. Well
do up these country yahooks in good
style while we're about it."
Burglars! and their booty in that
satchel!" breathed Kent.
One of the men disappeared. The
other set his foot on the satchel and
kept guard, A sudden impulse flashed |

of dog. Naturally the burglar was
startled and fell back. g
In an instant Kent was out of the
dog house and on his feet. He
snatched up the satchel.
Drop that! Who are your" and
the burglar, partly recovering him
himself, flashed a revolver.
Just then Kent saw a light in an
upper room of the despoiled mansion.
Some one was awake there. He gave
the satchel a swing. AS 'thrOwer"
he was at his best. 1t described an
accurate parabola curve.
Crash! bang! clatter!-throUgh the
window it went, while Kent shouted
Justify:
Burglars for the poIce!'
The burglar fired at Kent The shot
missed him. He stopped and picked
up a heavy piece of wood. Again a
fling. Down went the burglar sense
less, and as his companion appeared
Kent grappled with him and held him
till two servants came rushing from
the mansion.
His part in recovering some $4,000
stolen booty would have helped Kent
in public estimation anyway, but a
discovery cleared him of all faint of
crime.
The man the burglars had robbed
on the street was Harper Winston,
and among their booty was found the

PROF. MILTON b. GRIFFITH.

The passing OF Prof. Milton Il. Grit
nth is a distinct loss to Sodth Bend.
The local musical world is especially
bound TO miss him No man has done
more in recent years 10 keep the mu-
steal spirit alive or TO keep musical
activities before the public. Though
somewhat unappreciated while ne
lived. the absence Of his energy, his
talent, his self-sacrifice. that the com
munity might enjoy what to him was
the soul of life. is bound now 10 be
noticed.
AS founder Of the South Bend con-
seTvatory ne sought 10 create mu-
steal center, and musical home here;
in fact, became a promoter Of what
might be termed musical industry.
Largely through his own executive ef-
forts il has become an accomplish
ment To stimulate interest, musical
entertainments, concerts, May fes-
rivals, have repeatedly emerged from
his efforts, bringing to the city often
the best talent of the country. and
frequently at a distinct loss &c him
self financially. More than once he
has had to make up deficits. while a
surplus from the receipts of such en-
tertainments have been seldom. This
is among the inner workings Of such
affairs, such as the general public
never knows about, and which. of
course, such men as Prof. Griffith
would not, for the world, have told.
The Cadman- r edfeather concert,
scheduled for the First Presbyterian
church, Friday night, promoted in the
main by the professor, stands for his
latest venture, the contamination of
which ne was not permitted TO live to
enjoy.
Perhaps some one VIII rise up to
take Prof Grihth's place. 1t is the
way Of the world that there should.
It is to his great credit. however. that
he left a place to be filled. Living his
life according to the talents given him,
in love with his work, and tireless in
the advancement of il, we are ready to
realize now that he has gone, that his
sojourning here was not in vain. Life
is not all wound up in the perpetuity
of a name. The continuing influence
of devoted service means quite as
much. The future of music in South
Bend can never escape relationship
to this mans work, if no more than
that he helped to keep a light burning
when it might otherwise have we'll
nigh gone out

SPRING HOUsECLEANING.

House cleaning is a stock subject
for the newspaper funny men. From
their point of view it is an annual
craze, irrational and distressing, that
in spring takes possession of the wom-
en-. They turn their homes tOpsy-
turvy, upset all of the old mans COM
Portable lurking places, disarrange his
desks and his closets, SO he can find
nothing for week.
1t is of course not wholly joyful TO
come home and find all the furniture
out in the yard. But judging by the
looks of the average EDITORS desk, it
easy to see why he does not care for
housekeeping Ii sometimes seems
as if order was distinctly unpleasant
to the newspaper mind. Certainly
two out OF three of the men in our
profession maintain working places in
which the broom and dust brush have
only the most partial sway.
The devil sweeps down the center
of the room every week. But in the
corners and around the edges. there
are heaps of truck, old papers. and
discarded material. that are never
disturbed and around which dust and
dirt accumulate. The average editors
desk is similarly a mess of pigeon
holes stuffed with ancient papers. clip
pings and circulars of no present use
TO his business. but which serve TO as
semble CRIME.
But at home cleanliness is still one
of the ideals OF housewifery. The
women may neglect TO learn TO cook,
they may turn off these housewifely
cares on ignorant and laundering ser
wants But most women do have all
the old antipathy TO dirt. The humblest
home may be inside meat as wax" as
che old saying goes. the paint worn off
the boards by the periodical scrubbing.
one suspects that the persistence OF
this feeling is one of the greatest safe
guards against the spread of disease

When they got through with these
they might call eX-Sen. Joseph W.
Bailey and ask him why he maintain
ed headquarters ar the Raleigh hotel
and organized the fight in the interest
Of the shipping trust. After they got
through this. the committee might call
a Western Union messenger boy and
ask him about other things which
seem TO be better known on the street
han in the senate investigators
rooms.
We would not presume TO say that
certain New York editors ought not
be made TO tell of the influence back
OF their editorial utterances, but why
go so far away from home when there
is so much that might be investigated
right under the senatorial nose?

ROOF DON'T WANT IL.

The announcement by Sen. Root
that he does not care for the repub-
lican presidential nomination in 1916
recalls the fact that Root hoped TO be
the republican candidate at the time
Taft was chosen. So keen was Mr..
Roots desire at that time TO make the
presidential race. that when it became
evident that Roosevelt intended to
favor Taft. Root suffered a physical
and nervous breakdown, due, his
friends said, TO disappointment; sort
of "a la" Champ Clark. Mr.. Root
spent several weeks in a sanatOrium
ending up with a course in physical
training at Billy Muldoon's famous
farm.
Roosevelt would have preferred
Root to Taft as his successor, but
was dissuaded on account of Roots
connection with the Tweed scandal
and his notorious utilization as counsel
for various big business enterprises;
and furthermore, because he preferred
Taft 10 Root.

THE RIGHT MAN IN THE, RIGHT
DIAIE

PLACE.
Editor News-Times:
The selection of p. A. Joyce as
cashier of the Chaplin Street bank is
an event of more than ordinary i'm
portance in this that it connects with
the banking business of South Bend
"a man by nature and training pecu-
liarly fitted to officiate in the capacity
of custodian and disburser OF con-
stantly accommodating funds passing
| through the varied avenues of indus
try and trade.
Imperceptibly but none the less
surely the banking business is grad
| ually becoming something more than
mere institution for depositing and
| drawing dollars and cents. The mod
ern banker. especially in localities
similar TO that comprised within the
| term west end" is gradually devel-
| Oping into a counsellor, a confidential
| adviser. in matters pertaining TO in
VeStments, temporary or approximate
| ly permanent. Money saved seeks
safe and remunerative investment
! Where else than in an up-to-date
bank is such counsel to be sought and
obtained?
Mr.. Joyce is not only we'll equipped
for practical banking. but has the
, decided advantage of being thorough
ly familiar with the growth and de-
velopment of South Bend. In abso-
Lutte truth it may be said that he per-
sOnally knows more of South Bends
business men, big and little. than
any other individual within the citys
| boundaries. In addition thereto he is
| blessed with a clear vision, equipped
with a broad and comprehensive
! knowledge of human nature, and
thoroughly steeled in a clear cOncep-
! ton of a bankers rpsDonSfhiIitx and
| obligation pro and con.
The friends of Mr. Joyce manifest
| unstinted satisfaction over his en-
trance in the realm of fiscal activity.
| They confidently look forward to a
career that shall be crowned with
laurels won by a service guided by a
spirit OF kindly accommodation on the
one hand and an infieXible safeguard
| ing OF intrusted funds on the other.
