rebel army, who commanded kirkland's
brigade. The ground between the lines

Finding the Shears.

Mrs. Major Wheeler leaned over tn
banister the other morning and answere,
him:
"The shears? Why, they are righ
down there somewhere was using then
not five minutes ago"
The major wanted them to trim off {
horse blanket at the barn, and he march
ed into the sitting-room and up to the
family work-basket. Ofcourse they were
there. >He tumbled a ball of yarn, pa
per ofpins, half-made garment button
box and pin cushion on the floor, made
a dive among bodkins, worsted threads
and darning needles, and the shears did
not turn up. He stood the work basket
on its head, but it was no good. Then
he went over to the what-not and raked
OFT three or four photographs, ratified
down a lot of shells and knocked off two
books, but the shears were not there. He
was red in the face as he went into the
hall and called out:
Il can't find hide nor hair of 'em, and |
don't believe you ever had any,"
"Now look again-that's a good man"
she replied Il know they are right
there" The major got down on hands
and knees and looked under the lounge.
No shears. Then he stood up and looked
on the mantel The nearest approach to
shears there was bent hairpin. Then
he walked around and surveyed each
window sill, and gave the work basket
another racket.
81 tell you there amt no shears here,
or else I'm blinder'n a batw he shouted
from the hall, after he had given the hall
tree looking over.
''Why, major how impatient you are y
'There's no impatience about it! tell
you the shears amt here No one can
ever find anything in this house! / had
to look straight hour the other day to
find the gimlet."
IF you don't see them in the bedroom
I'll come down."
He entered the room, glanced over the
bureau and stand, pulled the shams off
the pillows, and whirled the pillows
around and then took a hair oil bottle
from a bracket and looked into it. The

his head on the Stats, got dust in his
throat, and was backing out with blood
in his eye, when his wife called out:
"Why, what on earth are you after ?"

He walked past the chair into the hall
and was going out when she called:
Dear, aren't you going to take the

"Shears? What shears? I'm going
over to the store and buy me a pair of
shears, and if>any human being in this

That Heathen Chinee.

One morning about o'clock-it was
very dark-a policeman passed az street
in a Chinese settlement heard, as he
thought rooster crow on the roof of a
house. The place attracted his attention
and he cautiously reconnoitred. He
soon discovered a Chinaman standing
up against chimney on the top of a
house and watched him. 1t was not long
before the Chinaman, peering into the
darkness in various directions and find
ing as he supposed the coast clear step
ped slightly away from the chimney,
slapped his arms against his sides, and
crowed so very much like cock that the
heads of flocks in the neighboring roosts
answered with real crow. Then anoth-
er further off hearing him, responded.
and others more distant still took up the
refrain, until every gallant chanticleer
for miles around had given oral testimo-
nv to the elegance of his manners. The
thieves knew the neighborhood even
the premises where the owner had Sc
creted them. The programme was this ;
A dozen or two of them, more or less,
went each with dark lantern, stationed
at different portions of the town in the
neighborhoods where chickens are kept.
The cock that fell in with the chorus,
whose KEY note was given by the China
man on the housetop, unwittingiy dis
closed to the watching thieves the exact
place where they and their families had
been secreted for the night and thus en-
abled the thieves to easily secure and
carry them to Chinatown to give cheer to
empty stomachs.
