scooped out jewels.
When a special policeman appeared
the bandits fed. leaving $45.000 worth
Of Jewels in the smashed case.

GLOVE HINTS

After purchasing a pair of gloves, before putting them on, sprinkle tall cum powder into the gloves or over your hands. and above all, see that your hands are dry. If they are tight, warm them little to expand them. After you have worn the gloves. fold them as they were folded when you bought them: that is, with tie sides of the fingers doubled In lengthwise and crossed flat and the thumbs folded over the palms. When you are not wearing the gloves, keep them carefully folded in tissue paper over which powder is sprinkled.
 To clean gloves that fit you prop er1y. draw them on sprinkle cleaning powder as if you were washing them To clean gloves that are little too large or bit too small for you, lay them on clean, smooth surface and rub them with the cleaning powder. A good cleaning powder for white kid can be made by mixing equal parts of talcum powder and cream of tar tar. or equal parts of French chalk and alum. For dark colored CT light colored gloves, fuller's earth and cream of tartar make good cleanser.

There was to be a childrens party at the Rangle household and Mrs. Jarr and Gertrude were attiring the Jarr children in their best.
 Like elders of her sex, little Emma Jarr, as soon as she heard of the party, insisted she be regally attired and permitted to so earlier in the day than the hour set for tho affair, and there, under pretense of giving helping hand, be a nuisance to everybody.
 Master Jarr, being of masculine mind, had been coerced into his best apparel. and 50 arrayed he had gone out into the street and played mar bles with some boys of the neighbor-' hood, who were not invited to the party.
 Gertrude had been sent down to hale him into the house. Here he now stood. and the inquisition began.
 Look at you. you bad boy. Your new pants all mud! Oh, what shall I do with him, Gertrude?" cried his mother.
 He ought to be whipped and sent to bed, maam that's what" said Gertrude. with simulated sternness.

 Master Jarr cast his eyes down at his shoes in sulky silence. They were mud to above the stocking line.
 And look at his tie, his new silk tie," exclaimed Mrs. Jarr. The tie was in hard, wet knot.
 .'Izzy Slavinsky did that. He said it was like girls ribbon," sniffed the boy in justification.
 And your little sister always 50 we'll behaved. She's over at the party waiting for you. Gertrude. you go right to that telephone and call up the Bangles and say Willie has been naughty and wont be permitted to go to the party. Party? I guess not"
 "Yes, ma am. said the faithful Ger trude, stirring not, but bending over to unite the damp shoe laces. T don't love him at all any more. I'll never iron anything again for him." she went on. I'm mad at him!" as she pulled off the boys wet stock ings.
 Get me a wash rag. Gertrude. and see if you can't find me a whip," said Mrs. Jarr.
 "Deed I will" replied Gertrude, and she went off and returned short ly with a wash rag and towel and the comb and brush and Master Will lies next best suit of clothes.
 What did you bring these clothes for?" asked Mrs. Jarr sharply. Hes going to get whipped and be sent right to bed!"
 And don't let him ever ask me to cook waffles for him again, or doughnuts, or make taffy for him, for I won't" added Gertrude.
 Then she helped Mrs. Jarr array the offender in his dry clothes. put on his school shoes and fix his tie.
