DDRIUmiiHIIIII A Modern Fable 41 4 naturalist divided an i\ aquarium with a clear glass partition. He put a lusty bass in one section and minnows in the other. r "The bass struck every time a minnow approached the glass partition. After three days of fruitless lunging, which netted him only bruises, he ceased his efforts and subsisted on the food that was dropped in. " "Then the naturalist removed the glass partition. The min nows swam all around the bass but he did not strike at a single one. He had been thoroughly sold on the idea that business was bad. v J ' "MORAL: Take another shot at the glass partition. You’ll find it isn't there.” * Printer’s ink is good ammu nition, distinctively applied in good circulars or booklets. Th. Typewriter pap.r at th.

It appeared that Joseph Bilodeau of this city, the complainant in the case, had a check from Capt. Raymond Swift for his pay as a member of Company F„ and last September 2Sth., when with a group of m?n offered to pay one of the party $1.30 that he owed him, but said that all he had was a check and that he would have to get it cashed. Hawes spoke up and said, “give me the check and I will run across the street and get it cashed for you and bring you back the money. He ran across the street, got it cashed al right, and kept on running so that no one knew where he was until picked up by the Waterville police in a raid on a hoboes retreat. Hawes pleaded guilty and since no disposition on his part or the part of his father who knew' of the offense was made to make restitution to Bil odeau for the loss of his $17.17, Re corder Tiffin ordered him to serve ninety days in jail. One Kdward Brent of Halifax, X. S., was also before the court on the charge of begging on Water street. After a short examination by the court, it was ascertained that Brent was one of the class that is not wanted in this city and he was or dered to leave town by five o’clock in the afternoon, and the city marshal was instructed to arrest him if seen | in the city after that time.

Watch May Connect Bay State Gang with Rich Murder, Bangor Bangor, Me., May 13.—Included in the stolen property recovered at-Wil mington, Mass., where Boston police inspectors captured two alleged safe robbers, was a watch which Chief Calvin Knaide of this city believes was taken from Jacob Rich, an aged store keeper, who was brutally murdered at his second-hand shop here February -S. The city has offered a reward of $1000 for information leading to the capture of the murderer or murderers, and the police are hopeful that the watch will lead to the solution of the crime. Discovery of the important bit of evidence came by a strange coinci dence. After Sergt. Bart Winn and Sergt. Jeremiah Driscoll took the pris oners and loot to the Hast Boston po lice station, the police of other cities were requested to try to identify the stolen property. Lt. Damery of Somerville took George J. Janvrin. a Somerville jewel ry and watch repairer, to East Boston. He identified the jewelry and 100 watches as property stolen from his store before daybreak on the morning . of May 6. They were delivered to him. , Subsequently a query was addressed > to the Boston police regarding the ar rest of the alleged safe robbers. Chief Knaid of Bangor sent to Boston a de- j scription of the watch which was taken from Rich. It was stolen with about $200. When the watches were seized at the Tartaglia house, each had a jeweler's tag except one. Jan vrin informed tho police he could not identify it as belonging to one of his customers. This timepiece fitted the description j of Rich’s watch. The watch in question is a Seth j Thomas watch, open face, size IS. stem winding with a 20-vear gold filled case. j hinge covers, 17-jewel movement and ; has a depressed second dial. There is a design on the back. Rich purchased such a watch from John Richardson of Carr street, Bangor, nearly 11 years ago. and carried It to the time of his murder. The watch was torn away from a gold chain which attached it to his vest. So far as is known, he never had the watch repaired, although he had other watch's which he handled in trade repairel by John Tibbetts, a lo cal jeweler. Mystery of Fooze in Hermon Explained Bangor. Me.. May 13.—Tlie mystery, of a copious and sudden flood of Can- ; adian whisky in the neighboring town ! of Hermon. creating undue hilarity at j social affairs, greatly affecting the of- j flciency of farm help and upsetting the general morale of the young men about town, has been solved after a general investigation by deputy sher- 1 iffs, constables, enforcement officers anl volunteer vigilance committee members. | The fact that, empty “long-neckers,” all with the same label of a popular brand said to lie quoted at $3 a q art and up in Bangor, were found back of , the 'j own hall, and even in the meet- , inghouse shed, was sufficient evi dence that it was not home brew, j Careful and consistent probing' brought out the story that one of a train of four rum-running ears heav ily loaded with gin and whiskey com ing from some western point and ap parently bound for Bangor was par tially wrecked by a collision on Her man hill. This made it necessary to distribute the load among the other cars, hut they could not carry it all, and half a dozen cases were hidden in the woods. it happened that some “gav young blades” returning from a dance ob- j served the proceedings from behind neighboring trees. As soon as the rum-runners were out of sight, the young men stvoope t down on the hid den whiskey and, being generously inclined, it was widely distributed, j Things are quieting down.

Woman Says Shot Man to Defend Her Honor Biddeford, Me., May 13.—Mrs. Evangeline Nikas, 23, fired two shots at Vaios Ghikas, 20, a mill worker, at her rooming house on Emery street, tonight, in what she described as an ! effort to save her honor.
