she accidentally upset the clo,hes-horse.

q club, and dashed up into the garret and
bolted the door. Mrs. &c oley heard him
going up. and as she had left him asleep
she also felt certain that burglars were
roaming about the hollSe. She was afraid
to 90 up stairs. and so she remained in the
diniry-roOm and screamed to Mr. Cooley
for help. He heard it from his retreat in
the garret, and realized the fact that the
robbers were numbering her. At first 'e
thought he ought to 30 down and rescue
her. but then he knew they would kill him
if he d j. and he telt as if he oughin't to
throw his life away reckles>ly Willie his
bOb-tailed horse was sick anu in want Of
constant attention. So he stood still and
listened. The screams OF Mrs. Cooley
grew louder and more frequent as she he
came convinced that lie had bsen murder
ell in his bed by the robbers. At last the
noise attracted the neighbors and Il couple
of policemen. Mr.. Cooley admitted them,
and they began to searcl, tor the burglars.
They found the garret door locked. and
they burst it open. As soon rs Cooley
recognized them he said:
''Where are they! Where are those bur-
glars? Did you catch 'emS"
Then an explanation cnsued, and Mr..
Cooley said his idea Of going into the gar
ret Was to stop any burglar who came in
by way of the trap-door in the roof. and to
kill him on the spot. And when the pO-
iceinen smiled at this. Cooley said that he
knew all the time there were no burglars
in the house. lie wanted to play little
trick on Mrs. Cooley; and his principal
purpose In coming into the garret was to
ascertain if the roof le,kcd. and to exanI-
inc the beautiful scenery from the window.
and he tiercely demanded what the police
men meant by forcing themselves into his
house ut that t me of night; and finally lie
said that if they would not spread the
facts over the village. five dollars apiece
were the first of many little flvors they
might expect at his hands. Then the party
went to bed.-jIar Adeler.

The Mystery Of Pain.
On the crimson cloth
OF my study -desk
A lustrous moth
Poised, .:atussque.
Ofa waxsn mold
Were its light limbs shaped,
And in scales of g,ld
Its body was draped;
While its delicate wings
Were nsrted and veiLed
With siivery Strings
Or goldsn-grained.
Through whose iiimy maze
In tremulOu, flight
Danced ouivering rays
Of the gladsons light.
On the desk close by
A taper burned,
Toward which the eye
Ofthe insect turned.
In Its vague iittle mind
A faint ie-ire
Rose underlined
For the beautiful fire.
Lightly it spread
Each silksn van,
Their away il SPED
For a moments span;
And a strange deiilkt
L.rsd On its course,
With re,istless might,
Toward the central source,
And it followed the spell
Through IN eddyins maze,
Till ii staggered and fell
In the deadly blaze.
Dazzled and stunned
BY the scalding pain,
One moment ii swoonsd,
Then rose again;
A. Il again the 'ire
Drew it On with Its charms
Toa living pyrs
In its awful arms;
And now it lies
On the table here
Before my eyes,
All shrivelsd and ssrs.
As sit and muse
On its iery fate,
What themes a';struse
Might mediate!
For ihe pangs that thrilled
Through its delicate frame,
As its se-.se. were filled
With the scorching flame,
A riddle iIclUse
Thar, living or dead,
In rhyme or In prose,
No Sc, 2 ila. read.
But m,ih," you cry,
els a thing so SMALL"
All, yes! but why
Should it suffer At al?
Why should sob
For the vaguest smart
One moment :hrob
Through the tiniest heart?
Why, in the whole
Wide universe,
Should q single soul
Feel that primal curse?
Not all the ihroes
OF mighiiest mind,
Nor e heaviest woes
OF humankind,
Are Of deeper weight
In the riddle OF things
Than this insects fate
With the margied wings.
But If onlyI,
In my simple song.
Could tell you the why
OF that one little wrong,
/ could tell you more
Than the deerss: page
OF ssintiiest lore,
or Of wisest sage;
FOR never as yer
In this worldly strife
Could Philosophy get
At the import Of life;
And TheolOgy's saws
Have still to explain
The inscrutabls cause
For the being Of pain.
So somehow fear
That, in spite Of both,
We are baffied here
BY this one singed moth.

It has ever been predicated by

process of photography that it had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation as produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidity with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced

The prime luxury of Los Angeles
Is one of the steam electric baths o.
Robert Hughes. They are oppo
site the Pico House. They have
become an established institution
and have been the means of restor'
ing many persons to health. The
Russian bath is of sovereign efli-
cacy in many ailments, especially
when it is followed by an applica'
ton of the electric battery. 1t is
not only remedial agent of &C.
knowledged excellence, but very
few experiences are comparable to
1t for downright comfort. Hughes
administers all sorts of medicated
baths, and he is extensively patron
lied by the medical profession OF
Los Angeles. Ladies will be wait

An individual who has been
known in this city by the several
aliases of ]. B. Cory and s. Miller
has extensively victimizad hotel
keepers, livery stable men and
private citizens. He represented
himself to be the subscription agent
and correspondent of commercial
journal in San Francisco. In this
insinuating guise he chalked up
large bills in this city and neigh.
borhood and receipted for quite a
number of subscriptions to the
journal which he claimed to repre-
sent. Subscribers parted with their
money, but they have yet to see
the first issue of the paper. When

"moral agricultulist" at Newhall.
A gay and festive individual of

Now I'll bet the drinks for the

marks with loud hoop-la, which
attracted the attention of police
man who stood near. The latter
approached the tramp and told
him if he didn't keep quiet he
would take him to the lookup.
With q triumphant howl the tramp
turned to the gentlemen he had
been addressing with the remark:
"There, didn't 1 tell you so? Where
is your old lookup? Take me
right along" His little request
was duly complied with, and he
now does cheerful duty on the
chain gang.
