Robbery at St. Matthews.

St. Matthews, July 24.-The store
of the MCLAUGHLIN company on West
Bridge street was broken into last
night, entry having been made
through a back window after the
shutter had been pried off. Police
man Jones made the discovery about
) o'clock this morning and, after Civ
ing the alarm, bloodhound was Sc
cured and several trails were fol-
lowed without success. The cash
taken was 80 cents from a money
drawer. Some goods were taken, but
probably not very much. No definite
clues have yet been found, but the
officers are still working on the case
During the past two years several
stores have been robbed and the dis
pensary was broken into twice here
and each robbery elicits discussion OF
the advisability of putting on a night
policeman. A substantial element
favors such a proposition and it is
not unlikely that some action will be
taken in this direction in the near
future.

Stabbed Mule.

One day last week a negro boy
working on Mr.. H. ". Adams's place
near town came hurriedly to the house
and informed the young ladies that a
big negro had attacked him and cut
Mr.. Adams's mule, which the boy was
plowing at the time. The ladies tel
ephoned to town, and Messrs. W. Nj.
McCue and H. G. Delk went out to the
farm in Mr.. Delk's auto. When they
investigated the matter, it pointed to
the fact that the boy had cut the
mule himself. Presumably he be-
came angry with the animal and
wreaked his vengeance by stabbing
it with a knife, and told the story to
escape punishment himself. The gen
tlemen caught the boy, and put him
on the back of the automobile and
started back, but the boy jumped on
and has not been seen since.

The Lusitania's Babies.

The illustrated Sunday Herald OF
Cork says there was on the Lusl-
tania so babies who were less than
12 months old and more than one
hundred others, whose ages did not
reach two years. They all have been
drowned.
The babies were the talk of the
ship and everybody tried to look af-
ter them when the time came. There
are numerous cases recorded where
both passengers and crew stripped
themselves Of their own lifebelts to
put around the little ones, but it was
useless and about $50 of the infants,
it is, calculated, died from shock and
exposure. They were afterward seen
floating in the water with lifebelts
tied around their little bodies, but
they were past saving.
Their mothers recovered conscious
ness in the rescuing boats only tt

hugging to their blossoms were dead
One mother lost all of her three
children, one six years, one four and
the third a babe in her arms, Six

When rescued by a boat party the two
elder children were dead. Their
room was required on the boat and

With her hair streaming down hel

from the rescuers and reverently
placed it in the water again. and

The Merchant Prince.

There was an old geezer and he had
lot of sense;
He started up business on 4 dollar
eighty cents,
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad,
Brought him three lovely dollars in
day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods and
little more space,
And he played that system with
smile on his face.
The customers flocked to his two-by-
four
And soon he had to hustle for a. reg
ular store.
Up on the square, where the people
pass,
He gobbled up a corner that was all
plate glass;
He fixed up the windows with the
best that he had,
And he told them all about it in
hslf-page ad.
He soon had 'em coming and they
never quit,
And he couldn't cut down on his ads
one Bit;
Well, he kept things humming in
the town ever since,
And everybody calls him the mer-
chant prince.

His Own Fault.

There had been an accident on the
worst railroad in the United States.
You know the name of the road as
we'll as do, so what's the use OF
risking. libel suit by mentioning it?
The sole survivor of the wreck
was sitting up in his hospital cot
swathed in bandages. II suppose
you're going to sue the company for
damages" said the friend at his bed
side. @
NO.. said the damaged one,, !

why not? You've certainly got
clear case against them
Clear case, nothing! Any intel

gence. I ought to have known bet
ter than to travel on the blamed

Splitting in the Court House.

Some complaint is being heard
about the promiscuous splitting in the
court house. One gentleman was
heard to remark tnat it was hardly
decent for a lady to enter the
building. 1t is a peculiar fact. but
true, that people who would be in
suited for anyone to spit in their
homes will persist in splitting in other
peoples places Of business or in
public places. 1t is bad habit spit
ting anywhere. but if people must
spit. they should be careful in choos-
ing where they eXpectorate-for the
sake of others. Splitting in public
places is a prolific source of disease,
and persons who persist in doing so
should be subject to a fine.

Short Career of a Big Gun.

In a lecture on modern artillery at
the Royal institution, recently, Lieut..
Col. Hadcock, of Elswick, contrasted
the life of big guns with that Of q
butterfly.
In the case of the latter he sup.
posed that "a hours would be old,
age. The big gun, on the other hand,
looked everlasting, but it only lived
when it was being fired, and If an
incessant stream of projectiles could
be poured out from it its active life
in that sense would be only IL sec

Pointed Paragraphs.

A fresh youth-a spoiled man.
If wishes were horses, beggars
would want airships.
A man is out of spirits when there
isn't a drop in the house.
Our best friends are apt to appear
bad-in amateur theatricals.
Some people grumble because they
can find nothing to grumble about.
All men are equal the day they are
born and the day they are buried.
Even a politician objects to being
shaved with a razor that has pull.
When looking for lodgings a man
must either inquire within or go
without.
It's easier to point than to plead.
That's why the world is full of hui
man guideposts.
Give the average young woman the
ballot and she would gladly swap 1t
for a matinee ticket.
In trying to raise one chick an old
hen makes exactly as much fuss as
she would in bringing up dozen.
By the time man has reached the
age where he knows things, he is old
enough to refrain from boasting OF
it.
Some one has said that Time is
money" but somehow mans
friends appreciate the money he
spends with them more than the
News.

A Warm Weather Lyric.

Inc QeVll IS 10 Dlame!
But fight him with the fire
And he'll beat you at the game!
Raised where the blaze
Is a-burnin' all Nthe days,
You'll never-never match him at
the fire-fghting ways!
Oh, it's fight and never tire!"
And still yer chance is slim,
But s'pose you turn from fires that
burn
And aim the hose at him?
Turn and turn about,
Where the fire fiends shout,
A better show you'd have l know, to
put the fire out!
