A Mouse on a SDree,

A mouse recently intruded into a
lady's chamber and found upon her
toilet table small vial of whisky,
which, it is but fair to say, the lady used
for the benefit of her crimps. The vial
was stoppered with paper cork, which
OF course, was saturated with the whisky.
The mouse nibbled off the top of the
cork and finally succeeded in drawing
it, and then.regaled itself with what the
paper had absorbed. Under the stimu-
lus thus secured it had made its presence
in the room very evident, and careful
search for it was promptly instituted.
1t was soon discovered in III, drawer OF
a bureau, stretched at full length on 9
comfortable bed, dead drunk. When il
was removed and thrown upon The
ground, the shock restored it to partial
consciousness and to a staggering ef1orl
ut locomoion. Moral; 1t is not safe
even to smell the cork of whisky bot

A Farmer and his Moneu,

An old farmer living near Petrolia,
Penn, having made 500, GOO in oil, re.
fused to put faith in banks or to invest
his money. He kept the rolls of green
backs in his farmhouse locked up in
boxes and trunks The money became
damp, mildewed and moldy. When he
discovered the condition of his money
he took the notes from their hiding
places and spread them in the sun about
his orchard to dry. The spectacle of a
fortune lying loose on the ground among
the apple trees was witnessed by hun.
dreds who were attracted to the farm
by the singular proceeding. The money
was thus exposed for two days, guarded
by the farmer, his wife, daughter and
hired man. Then it was returned to the
boxes. Three nights after the green
backs were housed the farmer woke up
to find three masked men in his bed.
room. They bound the old man and
Iamily, and had discovered and secured
81, 900 of tie hidden treasure when they
were frightened away by the return Of
the hired man from Petrolia. Subse
quently his house was broken into BY
three men wearing masks. The old
man and his wife fought them until they
were unconscious. In the struggle the
masks were torn from the faces of two
of the men, and they were recognized
The neighbors went to the rescue, and
the robbers were followed, but escaped
to tie woods. Three days afterward
the two were captured. They have re.
