ROBBED THE MAIL
UNKNOWN MAN HOLDS UP CARRIER
AT EAGLE CREEK.

Tried to Cash a Check at CarrlatrUlc
Bat Wai UoMCcestfuL
An unknown man robbed the United
States mail yesterday afternoon near
Eagle Creek and secured a registered
package. The mailcarrier left Eagle
Creek for Highland and when a short
distance from the former place met
the robber, whom he describes as a
short, heavy set man, dressed in gray
clothes. He had a heavy growth of
whiskers covernig his face, one of his
eyes squints, and he weighs probably
175 pounds. After cutting the mail
sack open and extracting the register
ed package, he ordered the carrier to
proceed..
Dr. C. B. Smith, of Eagle Creek,
telephoned Sheriff Shaver ut once.
The same man was t ICurrinsville
yesterday morning and presented a
check at Ely's store on C. W. Bates &
Co. , Portland bankers. The store
keeper refused to cash the check. The
officers are keeping a sharp lookout
for the robber.
Some hours after the hold up, the
registered mail was found by the road
side, intact, but there is no clue to
the whereabouts of the highwayman.
ENJOYING A SHOW.
A Charity Concert In London and the
Audience It Attracted.
The audience certainly was a terrify
ing one. The front rows of the big
hall were filled by old women very se
vere or else smiling the perpetual smile
of vacnncy. Then came a grimy group
f dock hands. Their wives, some ol
them in charge of three babies apiece,
were all over the room. The girls cam
In huge feathered hats and yelled high
pitched witticisms to the gangs of
young' hooligans, whose one desire
seemed to be to wreck the sbow. In
deed the j contributed even more audi
bly to the entertainment than did the
performers, while the. clergy who pa
trolled up and down seemed on excel
lent terms with everybody, but quite
powerless to control a good part of the
audience.

comments on the plainness of her

awful silence. Bertie and his cello
had an even worse time. He was in
cited to "get his hair cut," which was
certainly a piece of timely advice, and
at the first deep notes of his instru
ment there were anxious Inquiries if
lie was in pain. As this had a percep
tible effect on Irritable Bertie, there
were general offers to attend his funer

take "that old geezer out with you
when you go courting." By this time
the troupe were terrified, and the rec

REFLECTIONS.
A wife often permits her affection U
blind her reason.
Regard for petty things often will
dwarf a mod's ambition.
-A woman's love can become annoy
ing as well as burdensome.
Marriage based on honest affection
will, withstand the ravages of time.
When a woman gives way to anger,
she begs her own pardon with tears.
Many women find happiness only
when attending to the affairs of others.
Confidencj Is not easily gained where
-exaggerated love of self Is found to
-exist
To decide between love and duty has
-caused hours of worry to men as well
.as to women. v
The man with a vice wonders why
so many persons think it their duty to
make public the fact
Man often shows the hard side of his
- disposition to mark more strongly the
generous shades. Philadelphia Bulle
tin. Lnalolntrr la China.
' In China the practice of lunlolatry
xlsts at the present day and Is of very
early origin. The chief festival, that
-of Tueplng, or moon cakes, is held dur
ing the eighth month of the Chinese
year. Persons, make cakes of various
sizes in the shape of the moon and
: nalnt different figures upon them.
. Friends and relatives pay visits to one
v another, give entertainments and pre-
r sent their cakes after making protes-
- in tinns and Dourliut .out oblations to

It is very remarkable that a verse of
one of the Jewish prophets should be
xnlained by this Chinese custom.

seer, "and the fathers kindle the lira.

BEING A GOOD FELLOW.
H hi ImIm Sum In t
F Meet Utm.
,Any sensible young man ought to.
know that he can't be up late nights
abusing his stomach and be In full pos
session of his faculties for business the
next day, and he ought to know also
that a man must be clear headed and
In full possession of his faculties to
bold his own In the keen competition
of life. Tour "good fellow" Is popular
tit the time being, but when his money
Is gone and he has lost his Job and is
on his uppers the "good fellow" busi
ness doesirt get him anything. It's
"poor fellow" then another good man
gone wrong, and "the boys" are ready
to hall another "good fellow" who .has
the price. .
. We don't mean by this to say that
"the boys" are mercenary. They don't
altogether pass up a "good fellow"
when he goes broke, but it Isn't the
same. They say he hit the booze too
hard and couldn't stand the pace. They
feel sorry for him, but he is out of it
His good fellowship doesn't excuse him
even In the eyes of his friends for hav
ing thrown away his opportunity.
The young man who gets the sleep
his system needs. Is temperate In his
habits, lives within his) means and
shows up for work in the morning with
a clear eye and active brain that s the
man business men are looking for.
They want employees whom they can
trust. Having worked hard and laid
by a competence, they want to throw
some of the burdens off, and they won't
throw thorn off on the employee who Is
too much of a "good fellow."
Cut It out, boys. There's nothing in
it There's a whole lot of nonsense In
that "good fellow" business. You can't
fool the public very long by living be
yond your means and keeping up ap
pearances. There must bo u showdown
some time or other, and that means a
loss of self respect and many bitter ex
periences. Many a bright and promis
ing business man has failed because
he tried to travel In too swift a class,
vhi-rons had lie lived within his1 moans
he n.ilit have become u highly success
ful uiurchant.
Tho world doesn't give up Its treas
ures eauiiy. It Isn't In the cards for all
of us to be millionaires, and mighty
few of the "good fellors" get Into that
class. It's better to earn your way
first and go hunting for good times
when you have reached the point where
you can spare both tho time and the
money. Then possibly you'll have
more sense and have a different notion
about what a good time is. Toledo
