The Mayor and the Burglar.

The Cincinnati Gazette says that a good
joke is told on the worthy Mayor of
Wyoming. which exhibits him in an act
alike creditable to his valor and fore
sight. Two burglarious raids on his
dwelling during the past season served
to eliminate completely from his tender
bosom all charitable impulses toward
nocturnal marauders, and to cause him
to threaten direst vengeance upon any of
the class who ever yentured again upon
his premises. Partly for the fun of the
thing, and party for the purpose of test
ing the genuineness of his threats, with
out causing at the same time any I'M
necessary loss of human life, his wife and
some lady guests, a few evenings ago,
during his absence at a club-meeting,
stuffed out to human proportions a suit
of his clothing, and fitting it with boots
and hat, slowed it under a lounge in the
sitting-room, with Just enough of the
body protruding to be visible. After his
return from the club, and just as he was
dropping into a sound slumber, he was
awakened by his wife, who told him she
heard somebody in the house. A brief
search satisfied him that she was mis-
taken, and returning to his bed, he was
soon lost again in slumber. Aroused the
second time by emphatic assurances that
somebody was moving about inthe house,
he recommended the search, taking with
him a light and a revolver. He had
hardly entered the sitting-room before
the anxious listeners heard him shout in
vigorous tones, You internal scoundrel,
Tve caught you'll Move an inch and Pll
blow your brains out l"- And then they
heard denunciation after denunciation
hurled upon the interloper, coupled with
charges of its being the perpetrator ofall
the robberies committed in the neigh
borhood. The ladies' laughter v the
funny scene, at first half smothered, be-
came uncomfortable, and their screams
of delight only increased the ire of the
! worthy burgomaster, who imagined that
the presence of the burglar had caused
hysterical terror. Standing close to the
lounge, and with a cooked revolver
pointed at the PROSTATE form below, he
ordered that a neighbor be called to bear
witness of the presence of the thief and
his capture. "Pnll him out, judi, he
be must nearly smothered," somebody
suggested, and with the revolver still
aimed, Jud. pulled at one of the feet
The boot came off. Hegave another and
a more vigorous pull at the leg, and the
lower half of the body broke off at the
waist, exhibiting to his astonished vision
how fearfully and wonderfully it wa
made. The joke was as heartily ap
preciated by the victim as by the perpe
traitors, and the publicity of it has caused
citizens of Wyoming to congratulate
themselves on knowing a man pluck.
enough to attack a burglar in the yer!
act.
