Hurrah! Spring "Has
Come First Robin
Of Season Gets Here

Forget your troubles. Forget the
long, long winter. the huge coal bill
and the depressing "flu." Spring IL
on the way. A robin-the first re-
ported arrival-said 80 this FORE
noon from the top OF q tall maple In
the Third ward. (Now don't spoil
the story by complaining that that's
nothing new you saw one several
days aso.)
However, the red breast reported
is the first authentic proof of the
arrival Of his trtbe-unless perhaps
he might have been alternating In
the thick woods some place near the
city and only just came out OF hid
ing.
Anyway, he got here, and under
an overcast sky proclaimed to al
within hearing that old winter is
about all In and young spring Is on
the way.
And. then 1t might be added-but
puns are on the bum nowadays-
something, you know, about Mr..
Robin wrapping up his throat while
he flew to protect him from the
"flu," but what's the use.

Company $1,000.

st. Louis. March 22.-Ten boys,
seeking adventure. found the door of
the Edison Lamp Works open yester-
day afternoon. The situation looked
promising. so they entered.
They found thousands of electric
light bulbs stored inside-just the
thing, for an amateur war The boys
took armload after arm1oad of bulbs
from the containers and arranged
them on the floor on one side of the
building.
They began hostiIities by throwing
bulbs against the opposite wall. The
bulbs burst with the regularity of ma
chine gun fire and the boys shouted
with glee.
H. A. Sumnicht. manager of the
lamp works. was not so gleeful, how
ever, when he saw the broken bulbs on
the floor this morning. He called the
police and requested the arrest of the
boys. He estimated the damage at
$1,000.
The police learned the identity of
the boys and arrested them, after
which they were turned over to their
parents. to be brought to Juvenile
court this morning.
