unsuccessful Attempt was made last
night to enter the Funkhouser store

chain belonging to Mr. Clement and
about >4O in gold which was in Mrs.

which stands right at one of the win
dows, and took • several bags of
money, supposed to have contained
about SBO.

WHAT IS YOUR CHANCE OF
mHNU KlliliKD IN THIS WAR
If you, a drafted man, believe
that statistics tell the truth, you will
feel as safe in France as you usually
do in the streets of New York. So
says Roger \V. Babson, the eminent
statistician. Furthermore he says that
tlie man who Is connected with the
heavy Held artillery is no more likely
to be killed thun one in the employ
of a railroad. However, he does not
hold out such high hopes for the
lieutenants, sergeants and corporals,
the deathrate being very much
greater among officers than among
privates. Also, the mortality is
higher among volunteer corps than
among drafted men. Sixty men per
thousand are now being killed In the
war, and about one hundred and
fifty men out of each thousand are
wounded.—Popular Science Monthly.
