Tin Cans Were Valuable Then.

It Is within the memory of many people on the farms that there was time when tin cans were not too plen- tiful. Now and then canned goods were bought, and for the empty cans plenty of uses were found. For in- stance, tomato plants were started ir them, standing in the sunny kitchen window long before the garden was clear of snow: they were convenient for holding paint when small Job had to be done, and the small boys treasured them for holding their bait for those adventurous and ever-to-be remembered fishing excursions of early summer. Abort all the tin cans that came to farmhouse twenty-five or thirty years ago were put to good xse.

MARINES MAINTAIN TRADITIONS.

The United States Marine corps members, in battle on the western front, are maintaing the traditions of the corps. Their feats of valor will excite other branches of the service, and the Germans will come to find that all Americans, insofar as fight ing qualities are concerned, are fully deserving of the title the Huns have conferred on the Marines, "Devil Dogs."
 The achievements of our boys, how ever, must not lead us into assum- ing superior or boastful attitude. Nothing would engender ill feeling be- tween the forces of the allies than display of such spirit. And we haven't the right to feel superior to the French, the Belgians, the Brit ish, the Italians, the Serbians, or the Montenegrins. All these troops have proved themselves to be as courage ous as any.
 It is natural that we shall feel a pride in the achievements of the Americans, and that we believe them the best fighters in the world-which they are-but let's not display i'll breeding by exhibiting this feeling when we know it will wound our friends.
 When you write to your boy lover there," caution him against display of any attitude that will tend tc wound and aleniate his comrades of other nationalities.

Catch Thief In
Negro :sStore
---Aimost

The burglar that has created con-
formation in recent weeks among dark
town merchants was corraled last
night-it was thought for a time by
one of the worried merchants. But
this is what really happened:
Along about 10 o'clock last night,
when all was peaceful, Homer Patter-
son, who conducts a little store at
the forks of Forsyth and Henkle
streets, breatlehssly hailed Chief Nay
Tor of the fire department
Find policeman! Find police
man! l got him caught / got him
caught, Right down there in the store
now. Hurry. Got him caught Hurry
and get policeman"
Chief Naylor hurried and found
officer Redman and the two accom-
panied Patterson to the store. There
they found small Gordon of negroes
thrown about the place, faithfully
watching so that the burglar, whom
Patterson said he had heard inside
the store, could not escape until the
hand Of the law had him by the coat
collar.
While the guard continued to watch,
Policeman Redman and Chief Naylor
tip-toed to the door. The tried the
latch and found the door barred from
the inside.
"Aha!" they exclaimed "Mr Bur
glar is pretty foxy, eh. Gone and
barred the door from the inside so we
can't get in. Well, we'll fix that"
By inserting splinter through a
crack in the door, the bar was grad
nally pushed aside and the dooT
swung open
1t was dark as pitch Someone
struck match. Nobody in sight.
Hiding, eh?" Then the hunt for
the burglar started, every man breath
less, expecting shot from the dark
any moment.
Right in the midst of the hunt a
huge Tom cat gave territv bound
and disappeared with raucOus yell
out Of the door and into the night.
In the direction from which the ca'
came the searchers discovered the
source of the clatter that had at
tracted the attention of the owner
he store and caused him to believe
a burglar was in the place. 1t was
half dozen bottles of pickles lying
scattered about the floor that Sir
Thomas had carelessly knocked from
shelf in chasing a rat for his
supper.
