on the hay, they crept out of the
barn and started for home, running
almost every step Of the way. The
moon had gone down and it was quite
dark; but this they thought was fa-
vorable, for if the tramp, or hand
organ man, or lunatic, or whatever
it might be, awakened by their exit
from the barn, should follow them, he
could net readily see them.
They reached home, and, finding
the back door airr, crept up 10 bed
with a happy sense of safety and
comfort. 1t never occurred to them
TO ask how that door CHANGED TO be
open at that time of night. They
were only too glad to ascertain the
fact, without asking any questions
about it; but, If they had been look
ing out about ten minutes after their
own arrival, they would have seen
familiar figure enter, bolt the door,
and walk softly up to Joe's room.
The next morning they slept SO
soundly Nanny had to ring the bell,
an unprecedented act, for they were
generally up at dawn. They came
down very hungry, very happy and
quite content to find themselves in
their own places at the breakfast
table, cossetted BY Nanny, instead
of waking up in the hay on the top
of Captain Ingram's barn. Some
how, seen by daylight, their plan Of
going to sea looked very silly and
dreary.
While they were eating breakfast,
Baasha said there must have been u
traveller along the night before
Traveller was the old country name
for tramp" The grass was trampled
about the buttery windows, and she
had found deficiency Of doughnuts
and cookies, and there was not SO
much cold beef for breakfast as she
thought there was. Tom and Bert
did not dare to look up while she
was telling this. If they had they
would have observed an unusual
twinkle in Joe's eyes, as he looked
at them, and suspicious twitching
at the corners of his mouth.
'Poor cretnr!" said Nanny, who
always had tender spot in her heart
for hungry folks. 81 hope the Wit
ties tasted good to him."
In conclusion, will add one very
mysterious incident. It will be re.
membered that the boys packed their
provisions in large tin pail, and
they certainly never thought Of
taking it with them on their rapid
retreat from the barn; but you should
have seen Toms eyes when he point
ed out that very pail to Bert, as it
stood on the kitchen dresser that
morning.

Poisoned Thread.

A dressmaker admitted into the
Leeds dispensary, in England, was
found to have distinct blue line on
her gums, with simultaneous symp-
toms, such as furred tongue, inRa-
nation of the lips, and general de.
bility; all signs pointing to the prob.
ability of poisoning by lead. The
doctor in attendance on her for some
time failed TO discover the source,
and was beginning to think the blue
line had been caused in some other
way, when he accidentally learned
from a merchant that silken thread,
being sold by weight, and not by
length, Is sometimes adulterated
with sugar of lead. He then quest.
Toned her, and she informed him
that it had been a common practice
with her, when at work, to hold silk
as well as other kinds Of thread, in
her mouth, and that she had done
this more readily with silk, inasmuch
as it often had sweet taste. This
characteristic is a sure indication Of
the presence Of lead, and all thread
possessing it should either be reject.
ed or used with caution. 1t will be
found that the silk thread of the best
makers is tastless, whereas some in.
ferinr threads nra sweet.

high degree the pleasures of the table

warm Watertown welcome After a
most delightful time, the club returned
to Columbus on the 5 clock, a. M train,
fully convinced that our city contained
elements of enjoyment equal to the best.
Each member of the club brought
with them a sample OF their best cookery,
and as an evidence of their skill in the
gastronomic art, every head was clear
and every stomach sound next morning.
Would it not be an inducement to our
young men, if the manageable ladies of
Watertown would form such a club?
Appeal to a mans stomach, always,

supplemented by an attack of congestion
of the lungs, from which he never rallied
Deceased was a native of Bavaria, ano
came to this vicinity from Milwaukee in
1916. He was one of our business men
for number of years, but short time
since retired and removed to his farm

Switzerland is geographically and
historically one of the most interesting
countries in the world. She contains
some of the grandest and sublimest cen
cry to be seen on the globe, and her
struggles in the cause of freedom are
among the most noted in history Any
thing, therefore, that pertains to Switzer-
land and her people is always listened to
with delight and interest. 1t is with no
little pleasure, then, that we are able to
say that Hon. Horace Rubiee, of Milwau.
kee, will deliver lecture on Switzerland
at the Congregational Church, Thursday
evening, March End, the proceeds to be
devoted to the improvement of the Con-
gregational Church property. Mr. Rub
lee is we'll able to speak Understandings
upon the subject he has chosen, having
been for some years resident of Switzer-
land in the capacity of the American Min.
lister to that country Mr. Rublee's at
tainments as writer and scholar are also
well known to the people of the state
having been connected editorially fol
many years with the Madison Journal
and latterly with the Milwaukee Repub-
lican and News. Wherever Mr.. Rub
lees lecture On Switzerland has been de
livered it is spoken of as a master piece
of word painting and descriptiveness
We hope full house will greet Mr.. Rub
lee both on account of the fine reputation
of the lecture and the cause it is intend
ed to promote.
