A COLLECTORS Stratagem.

While collecting. not long since, Mr..
johnson had the following experience al
fine mansion on the West Side:
A little girl responded to the ringing
of the door-bell, and, in reply to Mr..
Johnson's inquiry as to whether her
mother was at home, said, Mamma
says for me to tell you she amt in to-
day. She's gone out"
"Ah y remarked the imperturbed cir
culator, without moving muscle of his
countenance, "please go and ask her
to tell you where she has gone"
The insufficiently-trained girl ran
through the hall toward rear room,
shouting: Mamma, ne wants to know
where you have gone to-"
A smothered exclamation and blow,
followed Immediately by a child's shrek
of terror, were heard, door was after
ward loudly slammed, and finally a very
red-faced woman, bearing so cents, due
the Post for one quarter, appeared on
the scene and deposited the money in
the collectors hands as a peace-offer.

Bank Robbery i'm Colorado.

The Pueblo (Col) Chieftain relates
how the banking house of the Messrs,
Banks, in that town, was robbed Mr..
III. N. Banks slept alone in the building.
He retired to bed Mt about 1870 o'clock,
and was awakened between l and 2
o'clock, and, on opening his eyes, saw,
from the light of dark lantern, two dis
guised men on either side of his bed.
Both had white cloth over their faces.
One held a cooked six-shooter at Mr..
Banks head, and the other pointed a
formidable bowie-knife at his heart.
The large man said, "Make no noise, y
and then the two gagged Mr.. Banks.
They jammed knotted handkerchief
saturated with ether into his mouth,
nearly strangling him, and bound it in
pla 20 with another handkerchief. The
small man then went into the front
room and pulled down the window cur
tains.
On the return of the small man from
the front room he said, looking at Mr.
Banks, "Hes asleep" This the other
denied, and, shaking the prisoner
roughly by the right shoulder, said,
" Be quiet. Don't speak word. If
you do I'll kill you" The two then
took Mr.. Banks between them and
marched him to the safe, ordering him
to open it. The safe is locked with
three combination locks, all locked ON
different combinations. He opened
two of them, and, when he came to the
cash chest, he hesitated whether to
open it or take the chances of being
shot. The big man said, "Open that
money chest" Mr., Banks took another
look at the cooked revolver and then
obeyed.
The robbers helped themselves to all
the bank-notes in the cash box, and
then examined the large pocket-b books
containing valuable papers. In small
box in the safe they found gold watch
and chain, but they deemed it prudent
not to take it. They stole, altogether,
about So, 600 in money.
After their examination of the safe,
they escorted Mr.. Banks back to his bed
and tied him hand and foot. They
crossed his hands behind his back and
securely bound them with leather
strap half an inch wide, and then tied
his feet together and to the bedstead
with stout cord. On their departure
one said, Don't utter a noise; if you
do I'll come back and kill YOU"

A Pen Picture.

A few months, or even weeks, since, her pal
lid countenance was the very type OF ruddy
health-the delight Of the school and the pride
of the household. She was always welcome
wherever duty or pleasure led her. Diigent,
punctual and exemplary in the classroom, ODE
dent and loving at home, she won the hearts
of all. But alas those glowing cheeks and lips
are now blanched by consumption. The voice
once 30 enchanting in laugh and song Is feeble,
husky and broken by hollow cough. Let US
approach her couch and gently take her blood
less hand In our own. Do not shudder because
OF its feeble, passionless grasp. The hand once
so warm and plump shows its bony outlines,
while the cords and tortuous veins are plainly
mapped upon its surface. The pulse that
bounded with repletion, imparting beauty,
yiyacity, health and strength to the system, is
delicate to the touch. The eneryated heart
feebly propels the thin, scanty blood. Must We
lose her while yet 80 young aud 80 fair No.
There is relief. But something more is re-
quired than the observance OF hygienic rules,
for enfeebled nature calls for aid aud she must

but strength Ii rapidly returning. Let us take
her out in the warm, life-giving sunshine. In
few weeks she will go without our aid, and be able
to join her companions in their pleasant pas
times and feel her whole being warmed and
expanded into perfect life." The change is 80
great that we think she is sweeter and nobler
than ever before. And the medicine which has
wrought this Transformation we look upon as a
blessing to humanity, for there are other loved
ones to be rescued from the grasp OF the insid-
ious destroyer. DIR. Pierces Golden Medical

More Than Year Without Food.

The London Net0s says: "The fe
male anaconda in the Geological Gar
dens was torn from her home in South
America some time in 1876. She was
carried across the ocean in narrow
box, which caused her great discomfort,
and may possibly have impaired her
digestion. In February, 1877, the ana
conda was consigned to her English
abode, but she refused to be comforted
or to take anything to eat. The dainties
which have the greatest charm for her,
live birds and other animated trifes.
were, happily for them, exhibited in
vain. She persevered in starving her
self resolutely, not to say sullenly, and
we do not learn that food was thrust
upon her perforce. A few days ago she
recovered the taste for living, and graft
fed her friends by staying and swallow
ing an unfortunate duck. She may now
do very well, for appetite comes as we
eat, but her prolonged fast Of at least a
year might prove trying to most serpen-
tine constitutions. 1t would be inter-
esting to know whether the anaconda
weight has varied at all during her un-
exampled performance.
