perienced Monday morning about

the safe In the grain store conducted
by H. w Greeley, had been blown
and between eight and ten dollars IN
silver taken. A bag containing quite
a sum of money also In the safe had
not been touched. The bag was COW
cred by paper which accounts for 1t
being overlooked by the robbers.
The store 10 located on Oak street

part of the village and the robbery 10
known to have occurred some time
during Sunday night az Herbert
Kelley, who is employed there was in

the cracks of the safe filled with
soap which the force Of the explo-
sion had thrown across the room
scattering the walls and windows
and some time was required to clean
up the debris.

THE TREE PLANTED HOME

The e luty Of a town or country
neighborh0od depends more on
trees than anything else. \ town
ought TO be so filed with trees that
from an elevation Of a mile away
il would look like forest with a
few roofs peeping up between the
branches. The house that is bare
Of trees looks forbiddiug, but il it IS
nesting in foIiage it Looks like IA
real home.
Trees are one Of the greatest
sweetners Of the air, one OF the
forces OF nature for publication.
The ire shaded home is cool and
comfortable on II hot day, while the
implanted home sweiters and
scorches. Every land owner in
Leesburg should look over his
home place critically, and ask II he
has all the trees he needs to make
his place attractive, comfortable
and healthfu!.

CROSSINGS THE TRACKS

The large number OF railroad
crossing accidents occurring all the
time should suggest sober thought
to every person who drives m aut :
mobile. While most Of these &c
c;dents arc due to Gear careltssness
on the part Of motor car operators,
vet it is not always 50 easy to avoid
this peril as one thinks.
Railroad trains may get rather
near a railroad crossing before PEG
pie in an automobile hear them.
But the trouble is usually that the
occupants Of the car are thinking
OF something else and not bother
to listen for the trains
Some people have the idea that
the safest way is to rush over rail
road tracks rs quickly rs possible.
Others cut down Their speed to n
slow point and as result some
times get a motor stalled on tracks,
and aIe in more danger than II they
had slipped across lat full speed
The public would he safer if
whistlirg and ringing OF bells by
the locomotives was more prolonged
There are many crossings where
the tracks are SO conc 'aled FROM
view from the highway, that the
automobile driver must del end
altogether upon his own sense of
hearing for protection. Many more
crossings ought to lie protc ted by
some form Of automatic signal. But
any mechanical device may get out
Of order, and il automobile opera
tors depend on such devices they
may come to grief
II would seem good idea, IN
apprt aching blind crossing, for
an automobile driver to come down
t. second speed. where he can have
absolute control over his machine
and be able to stop quickly if n
train is anywhere near. If he can
hear the train at all, he would bet
ter stop. 1t will only take a minute
for him to let the train get by,
whereas he will be a long time dead
if he is involved in fatal accident

Let every man mlnQ MS own OuSl-
nesS.-CerVanteS.
THERE is a certain type of person
\ who thinks, always, that brusque-
ness, even rudencss, to the servants Of
his friends shows familiarity with the
ways Of the world. Let US hope that
these persons are those who have had
little chance to get about, little chance
to mingIe with those who know how
things should be done-that they are
those who have never had servants OF
their own, and have had few friends
who numbered servants among thei:
possessions. Sometimes, unfortunate
ly, we meet women who have always
been used to servants who yet have
an Overbearlng attitude toward the
suspect that they gossip with their
own servants.
Now, In the big cities, at least, sery-
ants resent an appearance Of friendli-
ness of too informal sort on their
employers parts. In their relation as
servant, especially where they have
specialized, they wish to assume a
deferential manner, just as they wish
to have their employers assume d.
recting manner. That is part of the
game. They expect the same treat
ment from their employers friends.
But there is a manner, between one
Of overbearlng haughtiness and one OF
ostentatious friendlincss, that the we'll
bred man or woman assumes 10 his
friends servants. And it Is really only
the outward manifestation OF kindly
consideration to others, whatever their
rank or walk in life.
To begin with, always greet your
friends servants, If you have visited
the house often enough to know them.
A simple word of greeting is sufficient.
That is, If you are weekend guest
in a house, and the maid brings a let
ter to your door before breakfast, say
Good morning. Jane" And always
thank them, simply, for services rem
dered. If you call frequently at n
house, and the same servant always
answers the door, remember a simple
word Of greeting then.
Never ask favors of your friends
servants, either when you are visiting
In their homes or when you might be
able to make convenience Of them at
some other time.

Envy of Talenf.

As to clever peoples hating each
other, think little extra talent does
sometimes make people Jealous. They
become irritated by perpetual attempts
and failures, and It hurts their tenn
pers and dispositions. Unpretending
mediocrity is good, and genius Is glo-
rious; but d weak Aaybt OF genius In
an essentially common person is detest-
able. It spells the grand neutrality of
a commonplace character, as the Rms
