of iiInls alliance; eHch assisting TO carry
ont and perfect the individual functions
OF the other. The Liver being the
larger organ and possessing greater cor

ANENT the great amount of"burgling"
that is going on In San Antonio just
now, the following from W. S. Gilbert,
In the London Times, will be Of inter-
est. He says; FOR my part, l could
never quite understand the prejudice
against burglars. An unarrested burg
lar gives employment to innumerable
telegraph clerks, police officers, railway
officials, and possibly also to surgeons,
coroners, undertakers and monument
masons. As soon as he is In custody
the services Of a whole army Of solicit
tors, barristers, judges, grand and petty
jnrymen, reporters, governors OF jails,
and prison wardens are called into requl-
sition. Really, the burglar does more
good than harm"

4 Wonderful So,i7

"Speakin' of productive soil," said the man from Dakota, "the half has never been told. A few weeks ago my wife said: why, John, I believe you've took to growin' again I measured my self, and I hope Gabrirll miss me at the roundup if I hadn't grown six inches in two weeks. I couldn't account for it for some time, till at last I tumbled to the fact thar war holes Tn my boots and the internal soil got in thar an done its work. Did you see that boy that was with me on the street this morning? Looks like he war about IS years Sld. Wap about six months ago my wife sot our sixmonths old kid down in the plowed ground to play, an gents, I'll be doggone if-but you wouldn't believe that if I told it. Yes, it is a wonderful country, gents! l could sit here for a year relatin' actual facts but I must rush out an do some tradin'. I've got to buy hatchet to shingle my barn with. I left my old hatchet out over night last week, an in the morning it was full-grown axe. Good-by."

Get Q Home.

Get home; rich or poor, get a home, and learn to love that home, and make 1t happy to wife and children by you presence. Learn to love simple pleasures; flowers of Gods own planting, and music of his own-the birds, wind and rainfall; so shall you help to stem the tide of desolation. poverty and despair that comes upon so many through scorn of little things. Oh, the charm of little homel Con- forts dwell there that shun the gilded halls of society. Live humbly in your small home, and look to God for a grander che. -Ey.

The f.oeo Weed.

Kansas is becoming consider ably alarmed at the spread upon its pasture lands of the loco weed, that mysterious plant so baneful ysi alluring to horses and cattle. It is said that animals that have once tasted it seek eagerly for it, though its consumption is followed by madness, emancipation and death. Nor is its virulent effects confined ouly to the brute creation. A recent dispatch from San Anto- nio, Texas, chronicles the death in the State mad house of Peter B. F-eeF, formely sicket agent at that place of the Sunset Route. The direct cause of his insanity ia unknown, though lark hints are made that a draughtof loco tea was drank by him. Of this tea the Mexicans say it only takes one draught to render & man insahe, and all the stages of insanity mild, violent, and finally an imbecile before death, are sure to follow. It is made of this loco weed, which grows in many localities on the western plains, and is similar to the northern milk-weed being of a lightish green color and when broken furnishes a milky sap. The most careful analysis of the plant has failed to disclose the poison plant, but that it exists seems undoubted and Colorado offers a State bounty of one and a half cents per pound for all that is uprooted.-Exchauge.

burglar Stories,

From All the Year Around.
 One day as a dear old lady was going to bed in a remote chamber in big house, she accident ally preeeivsd Q man hidden under the bedsted. She knelt down hy the bedside and repeated aloud the beautiful collect of the evening prayer of the Church of England. She then blew out her candle and quietly got into bed. Presently a voice sounded underneath the bed, telling her Eot to be afraid, and that he would do Ter no harm. The burglar then came out and said that this was his first offence, and that he had been driven to it by poverty. He added that the words of the collect had recalled to him the time when he was inno- cent, and that, if she would only forgive him, Ae would go away quietly and not offend against the law again. The story goes on to say that the man was truly repen- tans and that the good lady saw him earning an honest living.
 Iknov one or two ceses in which there has been gsess courage on the side of tho attacked party and great cowaIdice on that of the burglar. in fact, this is generally the case when burglars have to deal with police. I have friend, 6 slight, deLcate lady, who has shown marvellous courage in COW ing . burglar. She went into the kitchen one night, when the ser wants were out or had gone to bed, and found 8 man in the act of packing up all her silver plate. Sho rssolutsly locked the kitchen door, put the key in her pocket, and told him that he should not leave the room until he had placed back every article of silver where he had found it. The man obeyed her ;n the most abject manner, and thon was allowed to sneak out of the place.
