BURGLAR IN A BOLA BOL-A New Tiling iu Housebreaking ami Olio That Requires Xeivc Paris Ldttfer to London Telegraph J There Is an amusing story told tonight to-night afoooit a burglar in a box According Ac-cording to a presumably veracious narrator nar-rator two detectives who were on duty last evening Its the Rue Saiint Martin heard at maim address a liarge box which he was wheeling before him on a cart as if It were a human being I Tine detectives may or may not have thought of the story of tilts wooden I horse but alt all events they listened attentively and distinctly heard the I words Dont stir od man IJl lake you round by the shortest cut Tine porter was followed I a t once by the plainclothes men The cart containing contain-ing the box ws wheeled into large business premises in the Rue de Body and delivered over to a clerk the porter observing that he wmilfl call for it this morntog and take it away to another an-other destinaitton The clerk objected to receiving the article as he had no notice of its coming com-ing but he was prevailed upon to let it remaini in the place The detectives entered soon after and having mentioned men-tioned their suspicions to the clerk it was arranged that they should hide on tihe premises and await developments On tine stroke of midnight the < lid of the box was observed rising gently and out came a man who walked toward a

explained ex-plained better by the records of Oklahoma than by any magisterial experience derived in this portion of our mundane sphere Matrimony is Induced by inclination divorce by dissatisfaction Each is prompted by desire to change sometimes some-times to better existing conditions Good cooks are certainly prized A i good cook ought to attract her hus J I band to his home while a poor one might influence him to seek other places as an antidote to digestive disorders j dis-orders i Good cooking Is certainly conducive 1 to happiness ordinarily it encourages and fortifies marriage and obviates divorce But there are so many pecu Hal people in the world controlled by j such various hobbies whims and idio syncrasics that it is difficult to tell I what influence controls them in select ing a life partner or in seeking to sever that relation which ought in Its I very nature to continue forever The S I field is too broad to be confined to anyone any-one cause The main difficulty is that the mar ital relation is not looked upon by I some people with that seriousness 4 j which befits the obligation In other I words there are too many grabbag marriages in which the party does not I know whether he draws a prize or n blank a good cook or a bad one until It is too late to remedy the evil I The clergy ought to preach more on the subject of good cooking and its relation re-lation and effect upon society that homes might be made better and firesides fire-sides more cherished But they do not they either cling tenaciously to orthodoxy ortho-doxy or sidetrack into sensationalism i and while occasionally reviling the scandals pertaining to divorce do comparatively little to alleviate or prevent the results of which they complain com-plain j I It is about time that this question of good cooking suited for the body and the mind received serious thought further that marriageable men and i Women were educated to reflect upon and fully understand the grave nature of the marital obligation and Its responsibilities i re-sponsibilities that the wife should bo I able to assume the cares of the household house-hold that both might work in harmony har-mony and the prevalent evils avoided before it is too late Better cooks therefore will cause more happiness fewer divorces and less scandal Truth I IIIE SECRET OF LONG LIFE With Every Grand Old Man thc Prescription Pre-scription
