Troy Chief: Some days ago, "a lady
In town was up stairs dressing, when
there was a knock at the door. She
looked out Of the window, and saw that
it was a tramp. OF course, she could
not 60 down, even If she wished to, and
the fellow stood knocking for some time.
The he deliberately took down a cage
with bird In it, that was hanging on
the porch, and walked of. AS she was
not IN a condition to go out, he got away
with his booty before she could make
the theft known.
The other day a woman of rather pre-
possessing appearance presented herself

and proceeded to drive the lady over the
city for about half a day. At the end OF
that time the female cody announced
that she was a wantom and chided the
agent over the way In which she had
fooled him. AS the party proved to be
a highly respected member OF a Winfield
church it was certainly very CALLING to
him.

the well, which is sc feet in depth, and
lost her balance and fell headlong to the
bottom. Her absence was noticed and

She did not seem to be at all frightened,
and gave a correct account Of how she
happened to fall in, and also gave the
depth Of the water.
Topeka Commonwealth: Il painful
and serious accident occurred to little
Madge Passmore at the Windsor hotel
the other evening, in company with her
sister, she WIS playing on the upper
Veranda near where the arc electric
light wires enter the building.
Not realizing the great danger from
such instruments when they are not in
sul8ted, she grabbed the wire with her
right hand. The shock was so great
that the little child could not recover
sufficient strength to give the alarm, but
her sister being frightened by the ap-
pearence Of a ball Of fire about the un-
fortunate's head, instantly pulled her
away, and called for help. When
picked up it was found that the five fin
gers Of the right hand were burned into
