Stumbled on Burglars Cache.

4 burglars haul amounting to 81,
800 was recently discovered hY n gar
dener while digging UP some flower
beds in Kingston, England He was
preparing the beds for the winter
when he was surprised to find ar
ticlcs of jewclry among the earth
turned up by his spade. Then he
called one of the other gardeners, and
the two of them In q short time
brought to the surface some two or
three hundred articles of jewelry, all
in gold, consisting of gold watches. ex-
panding wristlet watches, finger
rings, earrings, shirt studs, sleeve
links, albert and neck chains; and
other articles. some Of them set with
diamonds and other precious stones,
the whole being sufficient to fill the
apron Of one of the men. The police
afterwards sifted the earth and sue
ceeded In recovering several smaller
articles. Later In the day the jewell
cry was Identified as that stolen from
a jeweler whose shop had been broken
into by burglars.

than Is generally believed. Even the
most sensible and level-headed wom-
en- are In fear over some Old bridal
superstitions. am besieged with
letters from brides-to-be begging me
tell Them what these superstitions
are, that they may steer clear of the
rocks which are supposed to b0de I'M
pleasantneSs, and point out the guild
ing post to joy and happiness.
To begin with, there are certain
dates upon the calendar which can
not be fixed upon for the eventful day,
rs brides for many generations back
have been warned against them.
Therefore be governed accordingly.
The days set down as hcing unlucky
are: January i, 2, 4, 3, T. 10 10 !;
February g, Z. 10: March I. 6, s.;
April G, II; May >. 6, s.; June I, 10;
July 3, 10; August ~, 10; September
g. Z: October 6; November Is, l6, and
December 10. 16 II.
December is deemed the luckiest
month in all the year for marriage.
The old adagr also warned the
cnamored bride-to-be that "changc the
name and not the letter Is 10 change
for worse and not for better" 1T is
an overbold woman whose vanity leads
hHr to don her bridal robe in It's en-
tirety before the hour set for the cere-
mony. No bride should go to the altar
without Something old and some
thing new, something borrowed and
something blue" She should be care
full To put ON her right shoe first She
must see to it that Il horse shoe is
concealed in the flowers beneath which
the ceremony is performed. A wish
bone must accompany 1t. To try on n
wedding ring before the ceremony Is
said 10 invite Observation-Disclosures If
She takes a hand in making her own
wedding cake She will be pretty apt
ever after ~ iruye. no one to cook or
bake for her. According to the rise or
fall of theScake-- her good or poor
fortune is indicated. No bride or
groom must turn their heads backward
after once starting to the altar. Post
ponement of IL wedding is most unfor-
tunatc. Should II second postpone
mcnt be deemed necessary. for any
cause whatever. II might be as well
to break off the match altogether. 1t
Is extremely doubtful If 1t would ever

BEFORE HUBBY COMES HOME.

II Is often a difficult matter for a
been smitten though another has wooed
and won her, and n that. The sensible
philosophical fellow tears her image
from his bosom though his heart be- at
the root"
The man who is lacking in the right
of his old sweetheart. He is like a
moth that would hover about the flame
and would keep her ever In relneni-
brance of him by continually putting
himself in her way. The poor young
man who has his daily bread 10 earn
work, which brings him forgetfulness.
1t is the discarded lover with plenty
of money and nothing to do who wan
ders into mischief's path. He does not
think it amiss to stroll past his old
sweetheart's cottage home and stop at
the gate for chat to learn how she's
getting along. He sits on her porch re-
calling events of the days that are gone.
IL is this sort of man who always
cvadeS invitations 10 wait until hubby
comes home. He avoids meeting ner
alleged lord. making all sorts OF ex-
cuSes, which ii never occurs to an in
nOcent woman To diSbclieve.
He is the serpent who enters Eden.
If he fails 10 wreck the home il Is
certainly not his fault. Men of this
type who call repeatedly and uuwant-
ed. imposing upon the good nature OF
the woman who fears to let him know
she would rather have his room than
his company because he invariably
leaves before hubby comes are danger
Gus persons. The longer she keeps
from calling the matter to her huS-
bands attention the worse she Is off.
There are some neighbors who will
gossip whether they have reason to or
not. No young wife should feel delicacy
or be backward In telling one-time
admirer of this type that her after
moons are not for her to receive male
callers. If they desire 10 visit her
home, they must come when her hus-
band is ut leisure to receive and do
his share of entertaining them.
This course of action would put q
stop to the inclination Of dishonor
able free lance to think of rifling an.
other mans home of It's ,henor and its
treasure. Many innocent-ahd thought
less women are drawn into snares
through their reluctance to speak out
bravely or deny themselves to such
callers.
An honorable mans interest in girl
should cease with her marriage to an
other. If 1t appears TO increase after
she has become bride, 1t should be a
warning that he is deliberately putting
temptation in her way. He knows the
husband would not tolerate his calls.
The man with no business who can
drop in any time for a chat takes a
mean and unfair advantage of the man
who has to work. 1t is for the wife TO
guard her husbands interests sacredly,
realize the position in which she is
placing not only him, but herself. 1t
Is not compliment for wife to have
an old lover still hanging around.

UNLovED SOLDIER BOYS.

II there is one class of men more
than others who have difficulty in find
ing a sweetheart II Is n soldier boy.
Not but that the girls admire him, but
he has little opportunity to pursue his
wooing. He cannot be on hand to take
u girl to entertainments and dances
when he would like. His hours Off
duty are hampered. He must keep
early hours and be In his quarters at
IN hour which would be the edge of
the evening for other young men.
IL the parents and friends of the
girl he would WOO and win are over
ambitious, he has his own difficulties
In endeavoring to convince them that
a soldier would make a good husband.
No matter how poor young working
man may be, he may become rich and
prosperous. The soldier has much to
contend with in his struggle for adj
vanccment.
For this reason. many worthy
young army man makes the determine
ton that he will advance to certain
position ere he allows even the
thought of womankind to disturb the
even tenor of his way. lie thinks love
will not matter; that he could do with
out 1t. But he finds a wide path be-
tween those whose lives are frightened
by love and those who set themselves
the task OF doing without 1t. True SOL
diers cannot be with their sweethearts
when they will, but there is the blessed
exchange of letter so dear to the heart

There are also terraces on either side
