Part of the Entertainment.
Necessity shsrpens wits, besides having
no law. She is the mother of invention
and the cause of much trouble. Who can
doubt hat it is the duh times which pro-
ducedthe painful vacuum in the stomachs
of some burglars, Monday night, that
caused them to enter Duffy's saloon and
abstract everything useful they could lay
hands on; there can't be a doubt of it.
About three o'clock in the. morning,
when they could bear hunger no longer,
three of them went providing round there.
They had been standing at the Worsham
House corner and at the other cOrner for
an hour before that, specializing in their
own minds what to do, and discover
ing the transom window iover the front
door open, one cried put to the other,
"Ssy, Jem, here's a lay let's go for it."
And SC they went. In a bold effort to get
up to the window on each others backs,
it was found that neither of them was
muscular enough to hold up the other.
They tumbled down three several times,
and would have gone of in despair had
not the acute ear of the most hungry of
the three, who happened to be underneath
at the time, detected the distant footballs
of the police at Wards corner. 1t became

cessary for the benefit of their health and
the success of their future plans. They
crawled ION all TOURS" int the little
side alley-way, the same convenient
Sunday morning passage that Is so fami-
liar to us all. In there they crawled and
waited until the vigilant policeman had
passed IN to make another round of his
long beat. When The sound of his brogsns
had we'll died put in the distance they
began to speculate on coming forth again,
but first they held council among them
selves where to go to scare up something,
In the midst of the debate Pete discovered
q ladder against the wall, and q Joyful cry
broke from his lips; "we are all right"
said he; and the others agreed with him.
nOiseless rapidity of industrious cats out
on a nights hunting. In less than
one mintue they were inside, and
operating in the most lively manner
imaginable. But first they all fortified
with q small sample of the best they
could get. Sixty dollars fell into their
hands, and about a dozen and a half of
champagne and four boxes of cigars. The
money was mostly in silver. The value of
the whole plumber was something about
$3.50. In making their exit they acted
with considerable discretion. They opened
the side door that led out OF the alleyWay,
where they had taken refuge q few min
utes before. A bottle of the wine was
dropped at the door as they made their
exit, but they magnanimously let that go.
It would not do, they said, to risk their
liberty and the prog for the sake of that
little bottle. "We won't act like the mon
key with the nuts" They went forth on
the pavement ia high spirits, marched
down Adams street to the station house,
down that slleywsy toward Wash
street until they came to the next
alleyway, went eastward and were seen
no more. They have not been caught yet.
Most likely they are drunk still upon that
wine.
