before him, the Rev. Harrington ought to
yank a good deal of sin into the camp Of the
Lord during the next sixty days.

"Why is IT," no asked, shat you persist

demanded his business. The mild stranger
said he was the Postmaster General,
whereat the gendarne laughed Justify,
and, laying visible hand on the collar Of
Mr.. Shaw Lefevre, marched him into the
sanctum of the Secretary, on the bold
chance that he might turn out Dynamite
Rosa himself. The occurrence caused
hutter in clerkdom, which enlightened and
frightened the Constable, who saw by the
fashion in which the department fell down
and worshipped that he had indeed pro-

A Danbury man was sure some one
was tampering with his meal barrel He
drew pencil line to show just how high
In the barrel the meal was, and the next
morning the meal was fully two inches be-
low the mark. Then he had his idea,
which was to set steel trap in the meal.
1t worked well, and when he next visited
the place the trap was gone, and there was
a good deal of blood about, at which he
chuckled greatly and told his neighbor, who
praised his shrewdness, and together they
kept watch for some one with damaged
fingers. Before they found him, this
shrewd man went in haste one morning to
the barrel to take out meal. There was a
click, and he was caught in his own trap,
which the thief had returned and set just
as he did it at first. He has had one finger
set, and hopes to save two. more from am
