one time was champion prizefghter
of England.
Burton was the deans verger, and
on one occasion he was asked if he
would like to be buried in the abbey.
Burton replied in the affirmative,
and also asked that the fact that he
was champion prizefghter of Eng
land should be inscribed on his tomb.
To this the dean actually consented,
but when the time came it was de-
cided by the chapter that the inscrip-
ton should be omitted. Burton,
however, was buried in the abbey, al
though there is nothing on the tomb
stone to indicate who or what he was.

RARE JEWISH BIBLE STOLEN
Daring Thief Entered a Kansas City
Synagogue and Took Away
the Scroll.

The police department is seldom
without some kind of mystery. The
latest mystery is the identity of the
thief who stole the scroll from the
Ansher Ameth Jewish synagogue at
1904 Independence avenue, the Kan
sas City Star says.
The synagogue was broken into in
the night, but only the scroll was dis
turbed. From all appearances the
robber walked straight down the aisle
to the rear Of the altar, where he re-
moved the scroll from the case in
which it was kept.
The scroll is one of the most pre-
cious possessions of a Jewish congre-
cation. On it, in Hebrew, are writ
ten all the books of the Old Testa-
ment. The Torah, as it is called in
Hebrew, is Kept in its case, and only
the rabbi is allowed to see or touch
it. The scroll that was taken is "a
inches wide and $50 feet long when
unrolled. 1t is made of parchment
and wound on a silver wand with
gold knobs. Jake Wiseman, who re-
ported the robbery to the police, said
it was 400 years old, having been
handed down from generation to
generation.
Wiseman was unable to throw any
light on the robbery, saying it could
be of no use to anyone unless it was
taken to sell to another Jewish con-
gregation.

FoREsEEs HARD WINTERS.

Able Moreaux, the French meteor
ologist, says the worlds rain cycle
which, from his study of the suns
face, he predicted would begin in
1909, is now at an end. For the next
26 years, beginning with the present
one, he forecasts a series of hard win

will be entirely unbroken. He is I'M
