KeepliiK Ills Place Warm.
This s'c! \ is told of a successful gen
eral who was far from being a bril
liant scholar at school. After be be
came famous he one day dropped Into
the old school to pay. a visit to the
scene of hi former woes. The teacher
was anxious lo make a good impression
on the general and put the pupils
through their lessons so as to show
them to the best advantage. After
awhile the general said: “But which is
the dunce? You have one. surely.
Show him to me."
The teacher called up a poor fellow,
who looked the picture of woe as he
bashfully came toward the distinguish-
ed visitor.
“Are you the dunce?” asked the gen
eral.
“Yes, sir,” said the boy.
"Well, my good fellow,” said the gen
eral, “here is a crown for you for keep
ing my place warm.”—London Tit-Bits.

Police Arrived—Loot Was Small...
I
Indianapolis, Dec. x6.—One of the
| most daring safe robberies in the his-
tcry of the police department occurred
! in the office of the Star Elevator com
pany this morning.
The robbers worked for an hour
and exploded seven cartridges ot
I dynamite. Three men stood guard
with drawn revolvers, while three
; otners ran in and out of theplace at-
! taching the fuses.
The heavy explosions lifted the roof
; of the building.
Terrified people in the neighborhood
1 stood at a distance and watched the
eperations of the robbers, who finally
became discouraged at their repeated
failure to reach the inside of the bur
glar proof strong box inside the sate,
and left a few minutes before the po
lice arrived.
Only a small sum of money was se
cured by the burglars.
