Attempt MioV to Blow dp Sift in Mount Holly Poslofllce Tuesday Nfchn Before Mid nlfht BariuUr Discovered In Act but Escapes. Correspondence of The Gaaettc Mount Holly, Oct. 2. A bold attempt to rob the postoffice bere was made last night by an unknown offender, who was 'Ms covered and forced away ; before accomplishing bis purpose. At a few minutes before 12 o'clock a colored man passing up tbe main street iu front of the postoffice, heard a noise in side, and, stopping to get a look through , tbe glass door lock boxes-, saw a man moving around in the room, whereupon be lost no time in getting to the home of the postmaster, Mr. . R. M. Jenkins, with the informa Hon. '- '. Mr. Jenkins hastily ! aroused bi nearest neighbors and ac companied by Rev. W. J. Boger and Messrs. Tom Dunn and Walter Tucker, made tneir way to the postoffice. Two men on either side of the buildjn? quiet Iy took tbeir stand , to wait in silence, and listen for sounds within. In less than 10 minutes footsteps were heard" inside ad vancing towards tbe back door, which had been opened by the intruder. As he 'jumped , from tbe door Mr. Dunn opened fire on bim and followed tbe retreat ing figure with five more shots. The men chased bim to the bridge at the river, but he made good hi? . escape. When the bloodhounds arrived, the chase was resumed and the trail kept ud almost to Charlotte, when ttirf does lost out. Upon entering the postoffice, the postmaster found the safe had been loaded, the fuse and can attached, all ready for the last touch, a match. 'Nothing else in the office bad been touch ed in any way, and only the I safe, which must be forced open- ed, will be lost - The postomce building is right on the main stteet in the town, - and the electric lights burn bright along the sidewalks, so tnis Tuesaay-nignt-Durgiar was bold and daring in bis at tempt, having almost completed his undertaking before the clock struck 12 EAT WHAT YOU WANT. : LITERARY IWFOSTORS. 1 " . "' Many Clever WriUra Who Hava eeived the World. Cleer literary Impostor who havo deceived the world are numerous. Gamctll Carrlorl, a Neapolitan gentle man and scholar, while confined to bis room for a long period of years by Ill ness amused himself by writing an ac count of an Imaginary voyage round the world. When the volumo was pub lished, It was taken as a fact even by learned people. The detallod account of a trip to China' which Is credited to Du Ilaldo is another literary hoax. The author ha(!Tnever seen China and bad been sufficiently clever to compile tn work solely . from tho ' memoirs of. Chinese missionaries. ; It Is remarkable, though no less a fact that ,"0 silver's Travels" was thought to be a truo narrative when It first appeared, and the famous story of Bamberger's travels was likewise a hoax. ' ' .- " Varlllas, tbe French historian, enjoy ed a wide reputation as a chronicler of events, but later it was discovered that bis works were purely fakes. Tbe vol umes of this writer resemble those of GregorJo Bet, who, In order to keep himself from starving, appended the most unheard of Incidents to English history as it was known. One of tbe most daring Impostures on record is that of Joseph Vella of Sicily. He said that he discovered sev enteen of tbe lost books of Llvy in Arabic. lie then set to work and wrote a translation from his fancy, which was printed. After bis death the Trend was discovered. Before bis death, however, he fell under suspi cion and was condemned to imprison ment There are countless cases of authors selling their names to be put on works they have never read. Sir John Hill once contracted to translate a DutcA book. After tbe agreement be remem bered that be did not know a word of Dutch.

It was on tbe evening of March 13, 1781, that William Ilerschel, at Slough, England, discovered a new planet. Wishing to pay a compliment to George III, bis patron, be .gave It the name of Georgium sldus, or tbe Georgian sta Other English astronomers, wishing to compliment the discoverer himself, suggested the name of Ilerschel. Con tinental astronomers proposed that the old mythological system be followed, and the name of Uranus was accepted by tbe scientific world as the designa tion of the' seventh planet. Science Has Now Found the True Way to Cure Indigestion. A few years ago, when a suf' ferer from indigestion went to a stomach . specialist, the result was a rigid diet list that almost meant starvation. But tbe first thing to do in the case of indigestion or stomach weakness is to strengthen the muscular walls of the stomach and intestines, so that they will care, for the food that is eaten In no other 'way can this be done as well as by 'taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal Southern Securities Trust Co.

They Know Nothing About Cooking as a Fino Art. Wc.are accustomed to think of cook ing as being a universal art among tbe French. We seem to have heard vaguely of delicious repasts concocted out of nothing with tbe help of a char coal fire and a small pot. Certainly among tbe bourgeoisie that miracle seems sometimes to accom plish itself, but in tbe matter of cook ery as a fine art the peasant belongs to a different world. He knows very lit tle about it and doca not wish to know because it la regarded as a costly and unnecessary luxury. Ills breakfast consists of thin soup made of beans and water, with perhaps a taste of ba con for Uavoring, and tbin slices of brown bread to give It substance. ' Po tatoes and one other dish frequently a coarse sort or pancake form ttte noonday meaL The supper will be more sustaining, with tbin wme or cider as a beverage. Jacques Bonhomme has a perfect genius for 'discovering things which are good for food, which yet cost noth ing, and sometimes he eats things that, seem revolting to us, though I am quite willing to admit that clean or un clean in the matter of food is largely a question of inherited prejudice. Normandy is a rich province, and lot peasants arc better fed than those of other parts of the country. There is a tradition that in olden days meat was so cheap and plentiful that it was used to feed the pigs at the monasteries. They drink a great deal of cider, espe cially in the "pays de Caux," and it is aid that this is the explanation of their bad teeth. Tbe dress of the peasant women in this part of Nor mandy is extremely picturesque, with the long frilled cloak and the hood, which sometimes reveals a pretty, pi-' quant face..
