Tbe veteran Jim ChesMa, living just east of Alton, had an experience last eight. The wind wai howling Ilka a Coroanohe Indian. Jim was asleep in bed, ai every honest man shonld be at midnight. But above the howling and of the wind he heard the cries of coming from the direction of some trees where chickens rooited. Mr, Chasten dressed hltnielf at quickly as possible, but before be could get out a nelghoor, Pete Hartman, accompanied by his son and daughter, arrived at Mr, Chetien'i house, having In charge the thief.

Mr, Hartman bad also heard the cries of tbe ohiokent and together with hit son and daughter ran to the trees. When they (tot tbere they saw a man away up the tree. He bad gone so far up In the tree that he could not get down before Mr. Hartmau and his children reached the tree. He wai told to come down, which he did, and was led a captive to Mr.

Chessen's house. Jim says the thief wai a white man, but the dirtiest looking specimen of a white man be has seen In a long time. The fellow gave his name as J. H. Cook, and said he had been a companion of George Woods, "Tbe King of tbe Sandbar." Mr.

Chessen said It was too stormy to think of bringing the man to Alton at that late hour, and he did not feel inclined to remain out of a warm bed until morning In order to watch the thief. So while Pete Hartmann held him Jim looked around and found a heavy leather tug" Jim called with this Jim licked tbe thief over the back, legs and body until he howled for mercy. Jim thinks he gave him about thirty stripes, well laid on, He calculated that If he brought, him to Alton, and placed him In jail, he would lose several days time before the grand jury and as a witness in the court, and as the fellow had not got tbe chickens In his sack, he might get off with a light jail sentence. So Mr. Chessen took tbe pay and punishment out of his hide and then turned him loose to the tender mercies of the storm.

Mr. Chessen, without doubt, gave tbe fellow such a lesson that he will look in other quarters for his next mess of spring chicken. Marland Architect, 325 Marke tst. DON'T COUGH. rr.i "Will bit tour Power" docs good deal, Cough Syrup Wo Paul Bros.
