That Treacherous omelet.

For some time. 50 runs LIE Matin,
many Partisan merchants noted the dis
agreeable fact that eggs were being
subtracted regularly and with mathe-
matical precision from their cases Ia
the merchandise station Of Vanguard.
An inquiry finally localized the place
where the numerous thefts had taken
place, and the surprise of the police
was great to note that the perpetrator
Of the greedy deed carried out his dam
gerOus scheme In the station proper
right under their very noses. Although
the stricteSt surveillance was exer.
clsed, all attempts to secure the cul-
prit We're vain. A few days ago an
employee one Jerome Gennekerque by
name, having finished his daily work
started for home. AS he was leaving
The station, the bon hOmme" had the
al luck to fall. Immediately an un-
slightly yellow stream treacherOusly
proceeded from the pockets of his
jacket, thus proclaiming the unfortu-
nate jerome as the pilferer Of the COW
eted edible. He Is now taking Il pro-
lOnged rest at the depot"

WAGES INCREASED IN
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND

Boston, Dec. 31.-Notices of wage
increases affecting many thousand
employees were posted to-day in cot
ton mills in various cities of North
ern New England. The action fol-
lowed a conference of mill treasur-
ers held in this city at which it was
agreed that improvement in business
conditions warranted an advance to
operatives.
Cities in which wage increase no.
tices were posted included Nashua.
Dover, Somersworth and Salmon
Falls, N. H.. and Lowell and Law
renee. Mass. While no specific
amount was named, it is understood
here that the advance will average 5
per cent. for all employees receiving
$40 a week or under. The number
of operatives affected by the in
crease is said to be $4,000.
Whether this advance will be fol-
lowed by a general readjustment of
wages in the entire textile industry
in New England is uncertain, but
other mill interests are said to have
had the matter under consideration
for some weeks.
