Chicago Woman Is Half House
wife, Half Burglar for Many
Years.
LITTLE USE FOR LOOT
Became Burglar for Pleasure Dan
gerous Occupation Afforded Her
—So Crafty Her Husband
Never Suspected Her.
Chicago.—Mrs. Nellie Hantz, wife of
a workman, and long regarded by her
friends and neighbors as a simple
housekeeper, devoted to her home and
Tier round of domestic duties, is under
arrest, charged with being one of the
most expert housebreakers aud rob
bers in the city, and so crafty in her
•operations and the disposition of her
jloot that not even her husband sus
pected her. The woman engaged in
her dangerous business purely for the
love of adventure. She profited little
by her operations and on several oc
casions, according to her own story,
after looting the home of some friend
or neighbor, she would carry her spoils
to the river and throw the articles
away, one by one.
Following her arrest it was shown
that for nine years she had been mak
ing the beds, washing the dishes,
sweeping the rugs and tidying her
home, sending her husband off to work
in the morning with a full dinner pail
and a kiss, only to turn to burglary
at every convenient time of the day.
Showed Fight When Arrested.
The woman might have gone on many
years longer undetected had it not
been for the alert eyes of women who
told the police that in nesfrly every in
stance of a daylight robbery in their
neighborhood a woman whose appear
ance tallied with that of Mrs. Hantz
had been seen either near or on the
premises. A few mornings ago five
detectives entered the modest home
of the suspect. She greeted them with
a smile and guessed their mission.
Whipping a revolver from her skirts
she raised it and would have fired had
not an officer seized her from behind
and overpowered her.
Then they searched the home. Be
neath mattresses, in closets and draw-

ment.”

ers, and in many out-of-the-way places,
they found a great collection of ar
ticles, some valuable, some not —
watches, bracelets, cheap combs, toilet
articles, vases, embroidery, handker
chiefs and trinkets, clothing, petti
coats and shoes.
The woman, on the advice of the
officers, decided to make a clean breast
of her operation's. Although she made
an honest effort, the woman could not
definitely estimate the number of her
“jobs” except that they might have
totaled 200.
Loved Work of Burglary.
“I loved it,” the woman told her
captors. “I never really wanted the
money the things would bring or the
things themselves. If I had wanted
either I would have been a rich wom
an to day, for I got away with thou
sands of dollars’ worth of stuff. I
stole because I loved the excitement,
the joy of planning a robbery and the
thrill that accompanied the prying
open of a window, the unlocking of a
door stealthily, and the search for hid
den valuables. I seldom made a mis
take in my plans and never failed to
get away with it.”
In several instances, the woman
said, she gave away her plunder or
threw it into some corner. Once, af
ter she had carefully planned a job
for weeks, after closely watching the
house until she was sure of her chance
and had finally jimmied her way inside
and stripped it of its valuables, she
purposely walked to a bridge, and
standing near the center of it. delib
erately threw the articles, one by one,
into the river.
Too Proud to Work.
Terre Haute, Ind. —Harry Moore ad
mitted in the circuit court here that he
was “too proud to work” and that this
was why lie forged checks. The judge
told him he could work behind prison
walls and his pride would not suffer.
COUPLE ARRESTED
FOR SOULFUL KISS
Pretty Culprit's Inquiry Floors
Magistrate Who Promptly
Remits Fine.
Philadelphia.—Soulful kisses, ex
changed by a Philadelphia couple at
the front door of the young lady’s
home, when the street was dark and
conditions opportune, might have end
ed right then 1 , had it not been for
Frank Neese, who wears the badge of
the vice squad. Vice was not ramp
ant. He saw the kiss and stopped. lie
watched and drew out his watch. The
second huad passed round and round
again. Still they lingered, lips cling
ing, like a pair of figures on a maga
zine cover.
It was too much for a mere vice
squad. That’s why “breach of the
peace” and “kiss” became synonymous,
'L :
Still They Lingered.
and Vice Officer Neese promptly ar
rested Miss Catherine Haines and
Thomas Winning, the culprits. They
were haled into court.
Magistrate Beaton presided. The
pretty young woman, with a scornful
toss of the head, looked him squarely
in the eye:
“When did kissing become a crime?”
demanded the young lady.
“We didn’t think we were lowering
the morals of the neighborhood,” Win
ning added.
Magistrate Beaton choked, gasped,
then roared:
“Five dollars apiece fine, which the
court will remit.”
Miss Haines, whose suddenly smil
ing lips even the magistrate admitted
looked very kissable, and Winning,
who looked as though he knew it,
locked arms and walked out of the
room. Vice Officer Neese picked up
his cap and fled through a rear door.
PEG SPOILED ROMANCE
Pittsburgh. That she had
lived with her husband three
weeks before discovering that
he had a wooden leg, was testi
fied to by Mrs. Anna Bell, be
fore a master appointed to take
evidence in the divorce pro
ceedings instituted by the wom
ari against George T. Bell.
The couple were married in
Cumberland, Md.. on July 18,
1914, having eloped to that
place from Pittsburgh. After
keeping the marriage a secret
for several weeks, they went to
live with the wife’s mother ih
one of the suburbs of the city.
The discovery that her hus
band had only one leg, the wife
testified, was followed by abuse
and ill-treatment from him. The
master recommended that a di
vorce be granted.
BURNED PAPER BAG BANK
New Hampshire Man Used Wad of
S6OO to Kindle Fire in
Stove.
Concord, N. H. —The sitting room of
a New Hampshire home recently be
came cool as a result of the fire in the
stove going out. The head of the
house picked up a paper bag and some
newspapers to rekindle the flame. The
room soon was quite warm again and
the husband and wife resumed reading
their papers.
Some time after, the wife looked for
a paper bag which had contained S6OO
in $1 bills, which she had placed on
a table in the room. It was gone. It
is presumed that in the husband’s ef
forts to gef warmth he had placed the
bag containing the money in the stove
and it was consumed.
A few days ago a box arrived at the
redemption division of the treasury de
partment at Washington, containing a
quantity of ashes, with a note explain
ing that the money was believed to be
in the same. No trace of the money
had been found, the senders stated,
and treasury experts were asked to
submit the ashes to a thorough exami
nation and report results.
Fined $45 for a Kiss.

THE AIRMAN
By JOSEPH T. KESCEL.
The crack aviator of the Tenth
corps, “The Bird,” ns he was called by
his comrades, could not stifle the groan
that escaped his lips.
He was seated on the ground, his
back against a tree, to which he had
painfully crawled after his fall. In
half delirium he muttered to himself
numerous broken sentences.
“Commanding officer’s orders were
‘Go out over enemy’s position, ascer
tain strength, and,report immediately
upon your return.’ Tried to do it, and
would have done it, hadn't been for
that devilish shell. Machine damaged
and old Fred badly wounded.
"Can’t forget his words and action
when he saw we were hard hit. ‘Good
hy, George, old man, good-by,’ he
yelled. ‘l’m badly wounded. Informa
tion very much needed at headquar
ters. Alone there is a chance to make
it. With me in the machine it is im
possible. Tell Kat.v my Inst thoughts
were of her.’ Then for love of coun
try he threw himself out into space.
Struck the hard ground inside the en
emy’s lines, and was killed.
“Rotten lnck. Just downright hard
luck, after everything had gone so
well. Splendid flight we made to
headquarters, with the information
they wanted, when that whistling devil
caught us. With Fred’s weight gone,
the machine partly righted itself and
would have made a safe landing, but
for this beastly tree.
"Steering gear broken, no chance
to guide. Leg busted, arm broken,
and head feels smashed. Worst luck
is in being unable to make report.
“Now my head has gone wrong.
Saw the moon above, now see moons
all over, going everywhere. Funny.
Wish I had a drink of water and can
teen empty. Wow! Big moon is com
ing right toward me. There it comes.
Hear voices, strange, and the man in
the moon has an automobile. Cau hear
the purr of his engine.”
With a start “The Bird” realized
that It was an automobile from his
corps. He attempted to raise an arm
and uttered a faint shout. Figures
alighted and came rapidly toward him.
In a low, audible tone be said:
“1 wish to report position very strong.
Heavily re-enforced and more coming
up rapidly." Then be lapsed into un
consciousness.
Days had passed. One cool bright
morning “The Bird” opened his eyes,
now free from delirium. A gentle sigh
passed his lips and a figure bent over
him. Two questioning brown eyes
gazed into his. In a weak voice he
whispered: “Report enemy’s position
strong, heavily re-enforced. This is
very important."
Good nurse Wlnthrop grasped the
situation at once and, knowing It best
to humor the patient, hurried away.
Returning to the bedside of the wound
ed man she said quietly. "Your or
ders have been obeyed. Headquarters
have been informed.”
“1 know you.” he gasped. “Knty,
dear old Fred’s sister. His last words
were of yoq. 1 say good-by for him.
Am tired now and sleepy.” With this
he lapsed into peaceful slumber.
The late afternoon sun, streaming
through the big hospital windows,
found nurse Winthrop again standing
beside her new patient. The head
nurse gently chided Miss Winthrop
for the decided interest in patient
No. 254.
The girl’s eyes filled with tears and
she* answered humbly. “I’lease don't
scold, for he was with my brother
Fred. The two w’ere toegther when
the machine was hit.”
“Forgive me. dear. 1 did not know,”
replied the older woman. “Stay here
until he awakens. 1 will attend to
your other duties.”
“The Bird’s” eyes opened.
The Injured man gazed in wonder
ment at the face before him. “1 know
you—l have seen you before,” he re
peated, “you are Fred’s sister Katy."
Two small white fingers were placed
on his lips and a sweet voice admon
ished. "You must nof talk now.”
With the uninjured hand he re
moved the fingers from his lips. Ex
erting his whole strength he held them
firmly while he insisted, “I won’t be
quiet, mast talk. Want you to under
stand . Dear old Fred, my best friend,
comrades since war started. Sends all
his love to you.”
Her eyes filled with tears and with
gentle firmness she released her hand,
saying! “Please do not talk any more.
You must be quiet, for you are in
jured aud ill.”
His convalescence was very rapid.
When he was almost well one day
they were seated on the cool, wide,
sun-shaded porch, the small white
hand of Miss Winthrop nestling in his,
and he recited the adventures of her
brother and himself. Her eyes over
flowed with tears and she murmured.
“Dear brother. So noble, good and
true!”
Firmly he held her hands and in
a gentle voice beseeched, “Won’t you
be my liaty now? Fred’s last words
were, ‘Look after her, George.’ I
know it would please your brother,
and to me you are everything. I love
you, dear, and 1 want you to be my
wife,” he pleaded.
With trembling lips she softly mur
mured. “Yes, George!”
A fading sunbeam casting its
shadows over the cool, broad veranda
danced in glee when their lips met
in plighted troth.

Prevalency of Kidney Disease.
Most people do not realize the alarm
ing increase and remarkable prevalency
of kidney disease. While kidney dis
orders are among the most common dis
eases that prevail, they are almost the
last recognized by patients, who usuady
content themselves with doctoring 'ht
effects, while the original disease con
stantly undermines the system.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain
Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get a small bot
tle of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid one’s feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn’t freezone he can
easily get a small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house. —adv.

TO LIVE LONG!
A recipe given by a famous physician
for long life was: "Keep the kidneys in
good order! Try to eliminate thru the
skin’ and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the Kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise so you sweat the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid.”
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inflam
mation, as backache, scalding "water,”
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
"rusty” joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by Dr. Pierce of Invalids’
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to Dr.
Pierce for trial package and von will
find that it is many times more potent
than iithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.
