The Exchange Editors Mind Weakening.

"Now l wonder where that bald.
headed old chump has gone," murmur-
ed the boy, thoughtfully, as he turned
the edge of the exchange editors shears
by trying to cut cast-iron joke out oil
a New Jersey agricultural weekly.
At this moment very tired man,
with red-hot nose, beer on his mus
tache and mud on his white vest. glided
into the room and seated himself at the
table in gloomy dignity. 1t was the
exchange editor.
''Go and get club and prepare to
kill fifty -year-old fool" he growled.
"All right" said the boy, skipping
gleefully across the room for poker,
his piquant features sparkling with sat
isfaction u. the order. 'TrOt out yer
fool" he added, sand I'll fiatten him
out so yer can use him for blotting
pad"
ITO think that should have lived SO
long and know so little," walled the ex.
change editor, needless of the lads en-
thusiasm, the remembrance of his
grievance rushing to his brain with
force enough to make dint on the in
side of his skull.
"Well, yer know you can't help it.
Men of your shape are generally half
witted," said the boy, with tender eff.
fort at consolation. ''But what have
you been dom to yourself? You look
as if you'd been loadin' up mud cart. "
81 have been helping a street car
driver pick up his horse"
"Then your mind must be gone"
whispered the lad, in fearsome tones,
like those of man asking a colored
restaurant waiter for a second supply
of fried potatoes.
"Yes. l saw the moungy thing fall.
and, like an unintellectual meddler, /
had to proffer my services"
"Yes," INTERCEPTED the boy, breath
lessly.
1.-The driver had his mouth too full
of oaths to answer, but / thought he
would appreciate my efforts, so l loos-
ened up the martingale and the center
bit, showed the crupper through the
hawse-holes, bent the piston-rod around
the breeding, took in reef from the
collar and made a true lovers knot
with the car-hook and the tongue-pole.
Then the horse kicked me in the dia-
phragm and chewed off the drivers
coat pocket"
"And then?'' queried the listener,
somewhat bewil1ered by the avalanche
of technical terms.
Sand then the driver called me a
mutton-head, and said that when he got
the horse right side up he'd twist me
until 1 could wipe my nose on the back
of my vest"
"Well, there might be some conven-
fence in that" said the boy. '.But what
did you do then?'
do? Why l saw the horse gradually
being pried on to his feet, and sized up
the driver to have nearly as much mus.
Gle as profanity, and l went in to ask q
saloon-keeper's opinion. He told me
that no one but fool or prize-fghter
ever offered to assist a man whose horse
had fallen on the street."
MAY be he'd been there" remarked
the boy.
II guess he had," returned the ex'
change editor.
And then that old man and the youth
shook their heads gloomily and know
ingly.-Pittsbsrgh Sunday 7rareler.

Thieving Admirers OF Art.

"Picture thieves have apparently
come round again" an art dealer said,
land you might as well try to eaten a
weasel asleep as to hope to get hold of
them. They do their work in the
twinkling of an eye, and never leave
q clue behind. The two recent big rob-
berries are good illustrations of the mys-
terious and complete manner in which
the thing is done. A favorite trick with
the thieves is to walk into a store when
the attention OF the proprietor or sales
men is diverted, snatch up a picture,
and silently and swiftly decamp with
the booty. These sneak picture thieves
are sometimes as bold as they are sly
and nimble. A certain large dealer
went into one of his three stores one
night to balance some books. While he
was sitting at the desk writing picture
thief slipped in, climbed up step-lad-
der, whisked off three valuable framed
paintings from the top row on the wall,
and walked out noiselessly, closing the
door. When the dealer rose to leave
he was struck by the bare appearance
of the wall, and never suspecting that
he had been robbed, went back to his
books and spent long time trying to
find cut where the three missing pict-
ures had been sold. 1t was not until
he started to jaw his salesman next day
for not making record of the supposed
sale that he learned he had been
robbed"
"Why not chain the pictures?
"Ha! ha! You talk as if you thought
that had never been tried. 1t has,
though, and it don't stop the thefts,
either. A Fifth avenue dealer went as
far as to run heavy wire through a
row of paintings that he had on exhibit
ton. 1t was Just as strong as chain,
and the dealer considered that for once
he had things fixed so that the pictures
couldn't be carried of. He was nightly
mistaken. A thief had taken in the sit
nation of affairs at a glance. and in
stead of trying to break or cut the wire,
had simply drawn some nails out of the
back of frame and removed the can
vas bodily, leaving the empty frame.
The canvas spirited off was a very val
liable one. In fact, it is a curious thing
that picture thieves seldom NEEDLE with
anything not costly. If they were con-
noisseurs afflicted with kleptomania
they could hardly make more artistic
selection.
THE rather too open and unguarded
way in which artists and dealers
display their treasures of canvas for the
inspection of the public peculiarly ia

concluded yesterday afternoon at the
Alezian Brothers Hospital, and re-
suited in the following verdict:
I'VE, the jury, find that Patrick
Kingsly came to his death from the
effects Of pistol shot through the
brain, causing hemorrhage, paralysis
and death, said shot being fred from
a pistol in the hands of Sadie Ray,
and we. the jury, recommend That the
said Sadie Ray be held to the grand
jury with the highest bail the law al

John Rome, the porter Of the Briggs
House, testified that on Thursday
night last Kingsley asked him if he

and said be supposed he had gone out
with that "old cat"-meaning Sadie
Ray-to spend the rest Of the night in
some bed house. He slso asserted

Samuel X. Andrews, the Briggs
