A WARNING TO LANDLORDS.
Prom the Chicago Tn .une.


A laughable affair occurred in the
southern part of the city few days
ago, the circumstances Of which were IS
follows:
A young and industrious German, en-.
gagged in a store on Lake street, rented a
small house from . countryman of his.
and, with . variety of housekeeping Ar
ticles, purchased cord of excellent wood.
and had it cut and split, and nicely
slowed away in his woodshed. The fol-
lowing morning being sharp and cold,
found our young German up betimes and
vending his way to the woodshed, think.
ing what roaring fire be would have
in few'minutes. What was his ANA ze.
ment, however, at finding that his wood
had vanished-not q stick remained
What does the young man do but 90
straightwsy to the wood-dealers yard,
and buy . sechnd cord like unto the
first.
This he had also cut and split, and
slowed away as before and being with.
al of an ingenious turn of mind, he hit
upon a plan to catch the rascal that
stole his wood, in case he should paw him
q second visit. His bright idea" took
the shape of an ancient and ugly look.
ing pistol, which had seen some service
in its day. This was loaded with a good
charge of powder and hard paper wad,
and ingeniously fixed in such a position
that the opening of the door of the wood
shed would fire off the pistol. Matters
being thus prepared, our young German
sought his couch; and was soon in the
land of nod.
Light were his slumbers, however.
and ere long bang! went his artillery.
To jump out Of bed and rush out 10 the
wood-shed was but the work of mo.
ment: and there, lying on the ground,
groaning and bleeding, lay-his own
landlord, man worth thousands of
dollars. 1t was he, then, that was the
midnight thief. The wad had struck
him somewhere in the face, and the
wound, though by no means dangerous,
was bleeding freely, as he piteously ex-
claimed, Oh, mine Gott! vat ish dish"
He was soon enlightened as to the extent
of his wound, and then appearing hear
tily ashamed of his conduct, he promised
to make retribution of his former theft,
and thus the matter ended: the landlord
going home blOodier, and it is to be
hoped, better man.
