Emporium Raided.Ou Wednesday morning about 2:30

o'clock two of Emporium's youngmen noticed a suspicious characterloafing around the corner of Walker'sstore in such a manner as to causethem to investigate. Surmising thatthe chap was the burglars' watch andknowing there must be mere of themand properly armed, which proved tobe correct, they hurriedly summonedpoliceman Mundy and upon enteringthe store found that the mid-nightmechanics had entered at the reardoor and using a sledge hammer hadknocked the knob from offthe safedoor, having previously helped them-selves to several revolvers, some pock-et knives and razors, left the storewithout attempting to force the door,evidently the watch having notifiedhis "palls" they were liable to be"pinched" and made for the Junction.

R. C. Dodson'a drug store was alsovisited and knives, pocket-books andcigars taken.

Evidently the Walker store was thelast place visited for Webb Huffpassedfour men in front ofthe Catholic churchwhile coming up town to hitch up the'bus for the 4:10 train. As he passedthem thev separated and allowed himto pass, acting as though they weresuspicious of attack.

Policeman Mundy andG. A.Walker,Jr., rapidly hurried to the Junctionwhen they learned four men had turn-ed up the Portage and taking a yardengine went to Four Mile and walkedback to Emporium, expecting to meetthe burglars, but were not successful.Evidently they secreted themselvesnear town and will await a morefavorable opportunity to ship theirplunder, or tap some more stores later.No doubt this is the san# gang whooperate in the vicinity ofBradford andfrom all accounts the authorities thereshould easily capture them.

Emporium has been easy prey forburglars and it is high time our Bor-ough authorities should adopt someplan to protect our business housesfrom these frequent mid-night calls.

We learn other places were visitedand attempts made to enter L.K. Hun-tington's store but James Earl, whoresides over the store, got up andfrightened them away.

Our town has been infested bytramps and shaky looking specimensduring the past few days and it is hightime some stringent rules were adopt-ed to rid our Borough of these miser-able specimens of humanity.

Handkerchief Bazaar.The ladies of Emmanuel Church, un-

der the head of the Sewing Society,expect to hold a handkerchief bazaar,at which refreshments will be served,at some date between the first and themiddle of May. Fuller announcementas to date and place will be made later.The proceeds will be for the fund fortiling the new church.

Stricken With Appoplexy.John Adams, ofShippen, was strick-

en with appoplexy last Sunday eveningat his home in Rich Valley and is in aprecarious condition. Mr. Adams isin his 73d year and has always been anenergetic man, having served for yearsas tax collector, assessor, and in otherresponsible positions. Mr. Adamsmakes his home with his son Adelbert.

flothers' fleeting.The next meeting of the mothers

will be in the High School room onSaturday, April 27th, and the subjectsto be considered are: (1) Shouldparents criticise the teachers and dis-cuss school affairs in the presence ofthe pupils? (2) Who owns the child?(3) Question box in care of Mrs.Elizabeth Howard. Any parent whoso wishes can prepare such questionsas they desire to have considered andtake to her or bring them to the meet-ing. By order of committee,

Value of the Kindergarten.The following statement is taken

from a list of printed statements ofprinciples of public schools of differentcities of America where the kinder-garten has been a recognized part ofthe public school system for years:"Having been asked if there is anydifference in the age of those in thegrades who have had kindergartentraining and those who have not beenso fortunate, I have this year takensome pains to see if there really is anydifference. I find that the age of kin-dergarten trained children in everygrade is actually less than that of theremainder ofthe class by a few months,until the eighth grade is reached,

I where the difference is ten months, or] one whole school year. At first thisI does not seem very much, but a yearat school is a great factor in the life of

' any student."
