SNAPS THIEF AT HIS WORK
Automatic Device That Photographs
Burglar While in the Act OF
Plying His Trade.

For the fellow who would rather
steal than work, life is getting harder
all the time, says the Birmingham
Age-Herald.
Take the case of the thief who
broke into a Photographic studio in
Belleville, ILL.,, the other day. From
the viewpoint of the prowler, a photo
graph shop ought to be quite safe for
the plying of his trade. Nothing more
dangerous than the chemicals could
be expected in such a place-and like
wise little of value to any save the
photographer would be found there.
But the owner of the studio in Belle
vile had been fearful of robbery for
some time. Therefore he installed an
automatic device to photograph the
interior of his studio at stated inter
walls, the device being operated by
ordinary burglar alarm apparatus
Now the photographer is out consid-
cradle Photographic supplies, but he
is able to furnish the police the very
best kind of a description of the thief.
In fact, he turned over several photo
graphs of the burglar at work-one
of which shows him in the act of put
ting lens into his pocket.
Once the thief is caught there should
be no difficulty in proving his guilt
the photographs being powerful though
silent witnesses.
Herein is a suggestion which may
we'll be taken advantage of by manu-
facturers of burglar alarm apparatus,
for If it worked so well in the photo
graphic studio, it might prove effec-
tive as a protection to bank vaults
and other repositories of valuables
It's hard on the thief, of course, but
then burglary is getting rather un
popular as an occupation, anyway.

Australian High Private.

Giving his name as John Wren" a
man applied at the Melbourne (Aus-
tralia) town hall a few days ago for
enlistment He said his business was
racing" writes an Associated Press
correspondent.
Are you the owner of the race
courses?" asked the surprised re-
cruiting officer.
Yes" he replied. He is perhaps the
most widely known of Australians mil.
lionaires. He owns several race
courses, a newspaper or two, and is
interested in a great variety of indus
trial enterprises. He gave 50 500 as a
prize to the first Australian to win
the Victoria cross.
Wren passed all the tests and was
promptly ticketed as a private in a
newly formed regiment. He gave his
age as forty-three.

Out of justice to Hon William A.

Twin Falls attorney, who is familiar
with the circumstances, and who was
in Boise on business Friday There
is no kinder-hearted man in the state
than the judge, and he did everything
in his power to protect the woman
When she appeared in court and plead

should have an attorney He said he
did not want to pass sentence upon
| her under the circumstances, and he
offered to appoint counsel for her free
of charge.
Mrs. Ross declined the offer OF
counsel She said her attorney in Al
bion had advised her to plead guilty
and thus get a minimum sentence. Mrs
Ross asserted that she was guilty OF
receiving stolen property.
"'You may have been misled,' per

In few years came a third little boy, but God took him away after few months. I became sick with typhoid after that and came near death myself. Our nest egg melted away; my husband became discouraged and so did I. Then we round fault with each other; we did not see why we could not sail along without any rough weather. thought my husband selfish and naturally felt hurt because could not have lovely dresses, like my friends, go to all the club houses and suppers, etc.
 We'll, worried and worried and did not see bright side to anything and finally had a slight shock, brought on. the doctor, said, because did not go out rough weather. thought my husband in bed it came to me that and only was making it hard for myself, so I con cluded that signing for what could not have was out of the question now.
