has to work all night to do it. That's

one of profit and inspiration to those

newspapers of the country are willing

night. and a small quantity Of mer-
chandise stolen. Sheriff Larson went
to Oriska Immediately but reports at
noon today state that no clues to the
identity of the thieves have been
found.
The thieves gained an entrance to
the store thru the sky light. An in
ventory Of the merchandise is being
taken today but so far the only arti-
cles known to have been stolen are
10 suits Of clothes, 5 pairs Of shoes,
S watches, 5 fountain pens, and 4
Eastman kodaks. The thieves, after
helping themselves to the merchan-
disc, left the store by way Of the back
door and escaped in an auto. No

as their methods, and the kind of
merchandise taken, are similar to the

TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN GIRLS
Kipling at His Best Wrote With Com
pete Comprehension Of Their
Many Charms.

Thirty years ago, Rudyard Kipling
found the American girl above COM
pare. In American Notes he said Of
her:
Sweet and comely are the maidens
Of DevOnshire; delicate and of gracious
seeming those who live in the pleasant
places of London; fascinating for all
their occurrences the damsels Of
France clinging closely to their moth
ers, and with large eyes wondering at
the wicked world; excellent in her
own place and to those who under
stand her is the AnglO-Indian spin in
her second season; but the girls Of
America are above and beyond them
all. They are clever; they can talk.
Yea, it is said that they think They
are instructed in the folly and vanity
Of the male mind, for they have assO-
ciated with the boys from boyhodd,
and can discerningly minister to both
vices, or pleasantly snub the pOssessOr.
As certain of their own poets have
said:
Man is fire and woman Is tow,
And the devil he comes and begins to
blow
"In America the tow is soaked in a
solution that makes it freproof, in alb
solute liberty and large knowledge;
consequently accidents do not exceed
the regular percentage arranged by
the devil for each class and climate
under the skies"
