A GIRL DRESSED IN BOY'S
CLOTHING HIRES OUT TO 4
Farmer AND ROBS HIN OF
$500
Columbus Dispatch.
Mr.. A. NJ. Noble reports that he has
been robbed of $500. He lives within a
half mile of Worthington, and owns
about two hundred and fifty acres of
land. About two weeks ago, he says, a
boy about l. came to his house and ask
ed for work. The boy did not want wa
ges, simply board and schooling In re-
turn for these privileges, he offered to do
chores about the house, or any kind of
work suitable to his age and strength.
Mr.. Noble says he gave the lad employ
ment, and was quite well pleased with
the clever way in which he took care of
the children, fed the hogs, and done
chores about the house. He was mighty
handy with the children, said Mr.. No
BILE to friend who was hearing the story
of the robbery.
In the meantime Mr.. Noble was taken
i'll, from some slight cause. Heoccupied
his bed room, His wife proposed lem
onade; something cooling and refreshing.
He assented. She told the boy to go to
Worthington after the lemons, and while
he was awaiting final instructions, Mrs,
Noble put her arm between the bed
ticks and took out pOcketbook, from
which bill was taken and given to the
lad. He returned promptly with the
lemons. Mrs. Noble made upa cool bev-
erage for her husband, which he drank
and said it made him feel better.
The boy was directed to take care of
the children while Mrs. Noble got dinner
MIR. Noble turned over and dropped into
refreshing slumber. 1t was not long
before the boy said he would 60 down
and feed the pigs. He never came back.
Mrs Noble thrust her arm between the
bedticks again, to see if anything had
gone with him. 1t had-S500. Mr..
Noble felt good deal better immedia-
tely. He got very active, in fact. He
jumped out of bed and made break for
Colun bus.
While giving description Of the lad
to Col. Sam. Thompson, Mr.. Noble re-
marked that the boy had very pretty
hands. His wife said he had about the
neatest foot she ever saw on boy. A
pair of pants were brought along, pair
that the boy had left behind. The chief
of police, on looking at the pants, called
the turn at once. He said: Mr.. Noble,
you have been robbed by girl ; those
pants were never made for boy. Boys
amt that shape"-indicating his meaning
by pointing to the upper portion of the
garment.
"Yes, sir" continued the chief, you
have been robbed by girl. and that girl
is Florence Goldsborough." A few more
inquiries satisfied the chief that he was
right. Florence has served one year in
the State prison-one year, for stealing a
gold watch. She is shrewd and one oi
the best operators in the business. While
at Mobiles she occupied apartments with
his son and the hired man, but coLceal-
ed her sex effectually. She has done the
same trick frequently.

THE TREADMILL SONG.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES,

The stars are rolling In the SKY,
The earth rolls on below.
And we can feel the rattling wheel
Revolving rs we go.
Then tread away, my gallant boys,
And make the axle n.y.
Why should not wheels go round about,
Like planets In the skyY
Wake up wake up, my ducK.legged man,
And stir yoursolid pegsl M. gi ~ t
Arouse, arouse my gawky friend
n And shake your spider legsi
What though your awkward ut the trade,
There's time enough 70 learn
30 lean upon the rail, my lad,
And take another turn. HH
They've built us up noble wall,
To keep the vulgar out;
We've nothing In the world to do,
But Just to walk about;
30 fhster now, you middle men,
e. Ard try 10 beat the ends
It's pleasant work 70 ramble round
Among ones honest frienda
Here tread upon the long mans toes,
He shant be lazy here
And punch the little fellows ribs,
And weaK that lubber's ear
He's lost them both, don't pull his hair,
Because he wears scratch,
But poke him In the further eye,
That isn't in the patch.
HarK fellows there's the supper-bell,
And so our work Is done;
IT'S pretty sport,--suppoSe we take
round or two for mn
II ever they should turn me out,
when have better grown,
Row hang me, but mean to have
A treadmill of my own

A Valuable Invention.

The new compass recently invented and
patented by Mr. Gao. lies, of Montreal,
promises to remove one Of the chief diff
culties and dangers of navigation, namely
the deviation caused by iron on shipboard
The chief point in this ingenious instru-
ment is hight bar of aluminium poised
with an agate on pivot and placed at due
distance over an ordinary magnetic needle
of the same size. This bar is made to point
East and West by having fastened across
it some forty minute steel magnets at due
distance apart, and with like poles facing
one way When there is no iron In the
vicinity, bar and needles are precisely at
right angles, the presence of iron or other
source Of disturbance is instantly detected
BY an inclination at an acute angle as each
moves toward the point of attraction.
True reading is restored by the use Of q
magnetic cylinder, placed according to a
simple rule, until right angles reappear or
the circle. Experiments with the compass
have been made with encouraging results
