BEDDING

Bedding, Feb. 5-Footprints in the l snow made by one man showed the 1 course taken by the burglar who re-
 gently broke into, three unoccupied l houses on the Ridge. The tracks be- | gan at the John Muennich house l where no entrance was made as 1t 1 could be seen through the uncurtained :, 1 windows that the place was bare Of 1 movables. Thence the trail led to the |
 summer home of F. L. DunneH, a few l rods distant, and from there to the l 1 house owned by Misses Woolworth ! 1 and Burckett. and to the nearby house | of Mrs. J. W. Teets.a At each house entrance was gained by forcing open a l ! window of the ground floor. At the l l Teets house a blind had also been pried open and pane of glass cut out to give access to the window fastening. 1 Conditions within the three houses showed a thorough ransacking pro-
 cess, drawers of all the bureaus being
 pulled open and the contents scattered
 about MT. Dunne11, the only owner
 who came from New York to make an
 examination, found that there were
 missing two bottles containing liquids banned by the Eighteenth Amend ment, but apparently no other losses. l There, as at the other places. plated
 ware had been handled and left be ! n1IlO aHQ u WOulQ seem that the TaiQ0r l took away very little spoil No cigar cite butts were left as there had been
 at the L. o. Peck burglary and no
 clues of any sort to aid in detecting
 the offender. Deputy Sheriff Banks, who made a ) thorough inspection of all the prem
 ises, believes that the job was not the
 work of a professional, but more prob ably that of home talent or of some one living not far beyond the town ? limits. The Mabrey and Shelton cot tages at the Ridge are also vacant, but were, not entered. One section of the telltaIe footprints was first noticed
 Q week ago last Sunday although the
 burglaries were not discovered until
 Monday of this week.
 The vestry of Christ Episcopal
 parish, at a meeting following the
 services last Sunday, unanimously
 passed a resolution giving hearty en-
 dorsement to the county missionary plan and to the course taken in con nection herewith by Rev. MT. Gun S ningham. By another resolution the e vestry's action of last fall in accept S ing MT. Cunningham's resignation as ,s rector was resciHded and his continu-
 ance in his present position favored. | These resolutions wiN be the subject
 l of a referendum vote by the parish
 l on Feb. 15. although the sanction
 | thus sought is not necessary to make
 the vestry's action effective.
 In his sermon, MT. Cunningham,
 who is the Archdeaconry's missionary
 appointee, reviewed the entire sub n ject. He said the work contemplated E by the new departure had become 8 2 necessity in which the initiative had fallen to the lot of this parish which
 should regard it as a privilege to as
 sume the new responsibilities. Other o parishes would doubtless fall into line n lin helping on this form of church ex- s tension work. As to his own relation ship to the cause he urged that this
 parish view the matter in an imper-
 sonal way, regarding only the best I, methods of accomplishing the desir- IL able objects sought for.
 III At the age of 58, Albert Bigelow le Paine, prominent member of Red s. ding's literary colony, has found a K cure for the stuttering haFEt from IL which he had been life long suf- ,s ferer. The relief was obtained III through the aid of a medical friend l. who became interested in the subject
 of speed impediment from the large g. number of cases which he dealt witt g. as an examiner of draftees during the ze war Reaching the conclusion thai at the infirmity could be overcome by CIldIlS6u 1n6luOCS Ol~r breathing Ik re worked out this theory to a successful ," demonstration. MT. Pa1ne's cure wa: effected in three treatments. Int ir doctor had no stated fee for his ser CT vices, leaving the compensation to th' ,c pleasure of the stuttering patients ant as in many instances declining any pa. i'd whatever. The gratitude of Mr. Pain, m found expression in a paymnt of q 900 f. The relieved author told his e1perienc, H. to Theodore w. Vail, the telephon, 7a land telegraph magnate whose biog ,5 raphy MT.
