SOMETHING IN THE BED.

Judge Pitman has habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he
goes to bed. The other night somehow
it slipped down, and as the judge was
restless, it gradually worked its way
downward toward the foot OF the bed.
After bit, while he was awake, his foot
touched it, and it felt very cold; he was
surprised and screamed, and, Jumping
from the bed he said:
"By gracious, Maria! there's toad or
snake or something under the covers, !
touched it with my foot"
Mrs. Pitman gave loud scream and
was out on the floor in an instant.
Nov don't 90 hollering and waking
up the neighbors," said the Judge.
"You 60 and get me broom or some
thing and we'll fix the thing mighty
quick"
Mrs. Pitman got the broom aud gave
it to the judge with the remark that she
felt as if snakes were creeping all up and
down her back.
80, nonsense. Maria! Now you turn
down the covers slowly, while hold
the broom and bang it. Put o bucket
of water alongside the bed, SOS we can
shove it down and drown it,"
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The judge
held the broom uplifted, and as the
black ribbon of the watch was revealed,
he cracked away three or four times with
the broom. Then he pushed the thing
off into the bucket. Tnen he took the
bucket to the light to investigate the
matter. When the judge saw what it
was, he said:
II might've known that. just like
you women, to go screeching and fussiDg
about nothing. Who's going to pay nae
for that watch? It's utterly ruined"
1T was you that made the fuss, not

A NOTORIOUS BURGLARS ESCAPE
From the s. F. CALL


The career Of Tom Wallace, as bur-
glar thief and informant for the detec-
tives, is generally well known. and be is
regarded as about the coolest rascal un-
hung. He was one of the gang that
m ade Captain Lees and Toby Rosenthal

Elaine" some three years ago, and CIV
ing tho former chance to exercise his
skill in hunting up the robbers. They
were soon found and three of them sent
over the bay, but the willy Wallace got
clear by giving States evidence. Last
December he broke into the jewelry store
of T. Il D. Lundy, in company with
Donohue, another of the elaine" rob-
ber's, and got away with $4,000 worth
of jewelry. The burglars were captured
in less than week, the plunder re-
covered, and Wallace released on bail,
while Donohus remained locked up.
He then distinguished himself in the
burglary at the house of j. l.. Davis,
and displayed astonishing coolness
and audacity by the manne. in
which he effected his escape. On this
occasion his companion shot servant
girl, who sounded an alarm, and then
escaped over the fence. Wallace shot at
officer Bennett, who came running into
the yard, and then slammed the kitchen
door on the policeman, leaving himself
In possession of the house. He then
went softly into the hall in time to meet
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis, who had come down
stairs in their night clothes. BY claim
ing in the darkness to be policeman,
he kept them quiet, and when the front
door was opened, bundled them out and
down the front steps, and locked the
door on them. Then. although the
house was surrounded, he escaped by
leaping from a second story window to a
high fence, and thence climbing into the
next yard. This reflected credit on him

ER. - Victor Emanuel's fondness for
women has been proverbial. OF late
years he had lived with morganatic

he was greatly attached. and who bore
him three children. The gossips tell a
very pretty story about this lady 8 career.
