BANDIT TRIES TO HOLD UP 12.
Caught After Shooting Two when ^
Would-be Victims Break Away.
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 16.?A
cozen lined up in the street at the
point of his revolver, proved more ^
than a highwayman could control ^
f here to-day and when *they began to
break away at the ends of the line, c
the bandit commenced shooting. Af- b
ter fatally wounding a boy abd bare- j 0
ly missing several men with his bul- n
lets, the bandit turned and ran, with n
his intended victims at his heels. He
was overtaken two blocks away, but h
was rescued on the arrival of the ^
1 i.
police.
I The attempted hold-up took place ^
not far from the new Union Station. w
r
A number of men were standing on _
the corner enjoying the afternoon y
sun when the robber, who told the p
officers his name was D. R. Leeper, jr
l sauntered along. g
I "Hands up, everybody," Leeper j
* ' said, flourishing a revolver. g
No one hesitated and all obeyed S(
an order to line up against the side j,
of a building. X
Finally Leeper's hat came .off and p
down the line he started with a com- a
mand for everybody to "shell out." nAt
that instant two or three men at p
the end jumped from the line and tj
ran and Leeper began shooting. A e.
bullet passed through the lungs of fl
Francis Fizgerald, a 16-year-old boy. c]
He probably will die. A. B. Moon, a 0
saloonkeeper, was grazed by a bullet
and one man received a bullet hole f(
through his hat. S(
His revolver empty, Leeper start- l
ed to run, followed by the crowd. He 0
was overtaken, but the police arrived f,
and took him to a station. \2
? ? p
Seeing a Succubus. ai
tl
(From Salmagundi.) ,
, The manners, customs, dogmas,
and so on of the ages, always is
very interesting to me. I never tire
of poring over what I know to be . '
' the shallowness of the human mind. tj
How weak, how frail is man; how ^
feeble his mind; how quick he is to jj
believe in that which is a mere fabrication
and fancy, and often so slow
to catch the great principles of truth b
which is in his very grasp. Then j
tow superstitious is feeble man. . ^
What wonderful vagaries did, and ^
even does he now accept? How he ^
evaded the truth. Even David the
greatest of the Hebrew poets ex- b(
claimed: "I have said in mine haste b)
that all men are liars!"
A dissertation of the shortcomings
d J
of the human family is not intended,
y * for it would require many years of w
research and study to give a concise j
statement of man's phantasmal fol- n
lies. b(
Just who gave rise to the belief
in the Incubal and Succubal, I am gj
not prepared to say, but such a belief
comes from the darkest ages, tj
through the mediaeval, ana even, ^
perhaps, to the present. The doctrine
of the two demons, is pej
culiar, to say the least: The theory j
is that the incubus is a male god or _.
d.
demon who carries on midnight flir-, tj
tations with only charming maidens.
On the other hand the succubus is a
female whose charms are so wonder- j
ful that none, or few men can resist
them.
j- In the Hindu Tantra we read cer
tain rites by which we may gain companionship
of this queen of the night;
which is to go at a midnight hour to
a graveyard, worship her, call her
name, and if one's faith is sufficient
the succubus will surely come; and | ^
when she comes so wonderful is her
charms , so inviting her personality,
till the man meeting her would be ^
as plastic clay in her hands, and that tj
dawning day alone would drive the .
nymph away, and that the man would i
be so infatuated till even then he u
would be loath to leave. This theory
durinsr the middle ages was not only I
IO I
the clergy; even a writer like Au-1 R.
gustine accepting it, in part. a
It was midnight. I was alone in j ^
my study delving deep into the mys- | ^
teries of the Tantra, fliis book of j
Hindu lore and mythology. I was j
reading of the charms of the oriental j
succubus, her power, her magic and i
so on. I read with much care and i
interest how to meet this lovely be- 0
<X
ing, this matchless queen of night,
this very witch of Endor. The method
was simple; go to a graveyard at t(
< midnight, call her name, have faith ^
in her, and she would come. Why j
d
not make the experiment. I have h
been making experiments all my life
along natural lines, however, but, o

HOW 1 Was IU CclSL a uic ui uic ica.ii.jo j ^
supernatural. Looking out in the | ,,
i U
moonlight I could easily see an old J
graveyard, used, perhaps, first by the ; ^
r Indians, for in a cove hardby was at i
one time an Indian village. This old j ^
graveyard is a tangled mass of bamboo,
cape jessamine and grapevines,
so thick till a human being would find ?
a
it very difficult to enter therein. Why
not go there and invoke some ma- 0
a
rauding succubus to come to me just t(
, as the Tantra said she would do. I
i was alone, and no human being would
know the outcome of my nocturnal

Albany, N. Y., Feb. 1 2.?How c
dren of tender years slave for ho
in canning sheds with their bliste
fingers wrapped in rags and likev
in tenements making toys, flow
and plumes; and how women
sometimes for mere pittances in

is graphically described in rep
of the New York State factory
vestigating committee which was s
mitted to the legislature to-day. r
report says that canners operating
the rural districts have never obe
the State child labor law "beca
they never have had to." "The <
ployment of mere babies," the C(
mission holds has been the res
and it adds that of 1,259 child
found at work in 33 sheds, the old
was 14 years old and the youns
was three.
Many of the canners, the rep
explains, are opposed to the empl
ment of children, and half of th
do not resort to it, but "as the c
ning industry is largely devoted to
ploitation of foreigners, the pare
of the children make them work.
Of women workers the report sa
"No woman can work from 16 to
hours a day for weeks, in some ca
even months, without permanent
jury to her health. Yet women
doing just this in the up-State c
neries and factories and shops d

In the large canneries the w
