To-day, perhaps. you're going to find
The beauty and the hope and trust
You've had so many years in mind
Your thoughts have fashioned from

Today is mightier than all power,
For in its joyousncss reborn
We shall be seekers of the flower
That blossoms on the trees Of morn.

BURGLARS MADE HAUL
EARLY SUNDAY A. NJ

Burglars carly Sunday morning
broke in the show window at r.
Smiths store, opposite the depot, and
removed all thev aluable apparel dis
played therein. Their effort -
admittance to the main part OF the
store through the window proved ID
tile. otherwise Mr.. Smiths loss might
have been much heavier. The thiVes
secured about $3.50 worth of ladies'
wear, including, suits, coats and furs
that were on display to show the late
creations which Mr.. Smith had stock
cd and were naturally among the
best sellers.
Blood hounds were brought to the
scene in the afternoon by the sherln
but so much time had elapsed thai
there was little probability Of the dogs
following the trail, so they were moi
used. Authorities, however have eV.
ldence which they believe Will leae
to the apprehension of those respon
sible for the robbery.
There has been considerable petit
thievery in the community during tn
past year, and Mr.. Smith has suffere
on several occasions. On the mornin
of July 4th, last, robbers entered hi
place and removed more than $40
!. worth of goods.
