forgotten. The nexf day, In walking
past the residence OF Mrs. Mcbride, No.
Al West For sy fourth. street, an open
basement door proved too strong Q
temptation for Hepworth. He sneaked
In and In short tiDo was In the street
again with 81 800 worth Of the lady's
ljewelry. That night the sbrewd young
Ioriminal took q train for Canada, know
| ing that his chances for arrest would
thereby be lessened.
But Inspector BSrnes, within an hour
after the last robbery Was reported,
aided By the knowledge Of Hepworth'f
escape from the House Of Correction In
Georgetown, felt sure the boy had taken
Mrs. McBride's jewelry, and traced
him to the Grand Central Depot. A
despatch to the Chief OF Police In Buff
falo caused Hepworth's arrest there on
Monday, when the train arrived. The
boy foolishly left the cars to pawn
some Of the jewelry and was oollared
on description" as the police say.
Hepworth profited very little by all
his stolen property. He pledged them
for small So ps, and Acknowledges that
he only committed the robberies for the
"fun Of the thing" As he has made Q
full confession, much of the property
will be traced and recovered by the
police.
The boy burglar Is q tall STRIPPING and
does not appear to be q day over II
years old.
Inspector Byrnea regards him rs 8
very dangerous thief, because his low,
of excitement furnishes him far more
nerve Than the usual "house sneak
possesses. The boy laughingly added
20 his confession that he had tried sev
eral times TO rob the late Mr.. Wander
bilt's house, but failed because there
we're too many servants and the locks
were too good.

Putting It INTO Long-Hand.

There was an English reporter who
came to town no vast amount of time
ago and managed to get good deal of
reporting work. largely, perhaps, on the
strength of his claim that he was
verbatim reporter of rare accomplish
ments and profound experience. He
was particularly good at public meet
ings, but he had brought over habits
with him which occasionally created a
lively impression. One day he took
q little lecture by Philips Brooks. in
which the doctor found occasion to
quote some well known verses Of
Moore's- This is the way the passage
appeared In the Daily Blanket next
morning: The reverend gentleman
announced It as his opinion that the
world is In the nature of fleeting show,
given for the delusioa Of man, and pro-

Not long ago young Boston grocer
went out into northern Massachusetts,
city to establish grocery on large and
liberal scale.
He rented big store, filed 1t up with
electric lights, put an immense and
glittering coffee mill In the front window,
filed up his store with new goods,
stacked up In ingeniously constructed
pyramids and the like, and invited pat
rOnage with double column advertise
ments in the daily papers.
The trade started In briskly enough.
but he soon discovered that his patrons
were somewhat Interested in the prices
that he sold his goods at, as we'll as
In the imposing surroundings OF his
business.
There was a rival establishment very
much like his own, with electric lights.
big coffee mills, glittering pyramids OF
baking powders, boxes, etc, further down
the street, and purchasers were con-
tinually comparing his prices with the
rates In this rival store.
One day q male customer. with an
open, condding face, came in and re-
marked:
"What do you sell the best Haxall
flour for?"
Five dollars and half barrel"
"But the other store down the street
sells it for So
Best Haxall, Is it?'
Oh, yes"
WE'LL" said the new grocer, they
don't sell this kind of -four for SIS.
Did you notice how many ks there were
on the barrels down at the other store?"
There were three, SIR
Well, I'll sell you this flour for So
and 1t has four KS on tho barrel! Do
you see They can't begin to do that
for you'll"
Tho open-faced man went out and
travelled right over to tho other store.
That man in the new store" sal / he,
offers TO sell ms tho best Haxall flour,
with four Ks on tho barrel, for So, and
your -four hasn't got but three KS"
The grocer scratched his head.
Did you notice the size of the ks on
his barrelsS' he finally asked.
Yes, said the customer. They were
about three inches long,"
All, that makes the difference. don't
you see. The Ks on my barrels arc six
inches long. just look at them r.
The customer was convinced and
ordered a barrel delivered at once.

get an idea OF the sort of competition he

Farragut Taking Possession Of New
Orleans.


Commander Kautz contributes to the
Ceutvy some of the "Incidents of the
Occupation of New Orleans which
came under his observation as an officer
under Farragut's command. From the
article we quote as follows: "A battal-
ion of marines made part of our expedi-
tion; this was under the command of
Captain John L. Broome. We landed
at the foot of Canal street and proceeded
to position in front of the Custom
house, where the marines were drawn
up in line, with loaded pieces and flank
ed by the howitzers. loaded with shrap-
mel. The people made no demonstra-
ton, but looked on in sullen silence.
Captain Bell and /. with boatswain's s
mate carrying our ensign, entered the
Custom-house, where the postmaster re-
ceived us cordially, remarking, Thank
God that you are here. / have been a
Union man all the time. / was ap-
pointed by Buchanan, not by JEFF.
Davis; he only allowed me to remain.
The postmaster showed us to the roof
of the building, where we found a flag
staff with billiards. The boatswainss S
mate bent on the flag and | reported all
ready, when Captain Bell gave the
order Hoist awayr and the boatswain's s
mate and put our hands to the hill
lizards and the stars and stripes rose
into the sky and swelied on the breeze. ;
A guard with a lieutenant of marines
was left in charge of the flag at the
Custom-house, and the landing party
moved on to the City Hall. the crowd
increasing rs that small body of Union
men approached the State flag There
the marines were again drawn up in
line, and the howitzers commanded the
streets; thousands of spectators filled
the open spaces. That immense as
semblage had the will to annihilate the
small force of sailors and marines, but
they had begun to think, and the i'm
preston that resistance to United States
authority would invoke the wrath of the
squadron had gone abroad; still, no one
knew but what one or two desperate
men were ready to fire the train that
would lead to the magazine.
Captain Bell gave Mayor Monroe
the privilege of hauling down the State
flag, but lie Indignantly declined. Cap
tain Bell then directed me to go to the
roof of the building and haul the flag
down, he remaining on the top floor at
the foot Of the ladder.
Before we ascended to the roof, the
mayor informed Captain Bell, in the
presence of his officers, that the men
who attempted to haul down the flag
might be shot by the indignant popu-
lace assembled on the surrounding
house-tops, and he expressed his fears
in the hope that he would not be held
responsible for the act, in case it should
be perpetrated. Fortunately for the
peace of the city of New Orleans, the
vast crowd looked on in sullen silence
as the flag came down. There was no
flag hoisted on the City Hall in place of
the State flag, for the reason that it had
not covered United States property.
The mission of the landing party having
been accomplished. the officers and
men returned to the levee in marching
order. where they took boats for their
respective vessels. The flag on the
Custom-house was guarded by the
marines of the Hartford, until the
arrival of General Butler with his
troops. !"

SOME "ELEVATiNG" IDEAS.

Representatives of the Liquor Traffic
stand Up for Guzzling on the Sabbath
Their Ridiculous Argument.
The United States Brewers Associa-
ton held its annual meeting at Buffalo,
and the Sabbath laws, Temperance
legislation, and Temperance teaching
in the public schools received the usual
amount of condemnation. The sale of
liquors on the Sabbath was declared to
be almost a necessity" strongly adj
vocated by every many excellent jour-
nails" 1t was stated by the president
of the association in his opening adj
dress that ''all the great cities Of the
European Continent, and even of En-
gland, permit the sale of spirituous
beverages on the Sabbath, and it has
been found there that public morality
is furthered by this liberal spirit" The
Sunday-closing law was said to con-
denim the working-man to such
''dreariness" that he must ''indem-
Nifty himself by getting drunk on
Saturday. Some of our ''West-
ern cities" were quoted as fur
nishing evidence in favor of re-
Taxing Sunday observance. From
this the speaker went on to
say that there was just as much reason
for prohibiting bathing, or travelling on
the railroads, because a certain num-
Der of people die every year while en-
gagged in these occupations, as for pro-
hibiting drinking, because it can be
shown that so many hundreds die
every year from the excessive use of
lntoXicants. Following the presidents
address was the report of committee
on the Temperance school-book ques-
ton, which came to the conclusion,
after ga thorough review of the sub
ject, that ''the resultant evil'' (from
the introduction of Temperance text
books in the schools) was not as yet
great enough to demand vigorous ac-
ton. Many of the schools, it was said,
had ignored the law, while others had
failed to comply with its spirit. The
members of the association were adj
vised, however, to keep a sharp look
out for such false and fanatiSal teach

TEMPERANCE.
A PROPHECY.


Adapted from "Me and Betty"
You've all heard the story-the great grizzly
Who gave the poor settlers such a terrible
scare
In pioneers cabin out West, so they say,
When IN he came trotting one fine summers
day
Perhaps you recall the mans scream to his
frau
"Theres bar in the kitchen as big as a,
And how she advised him to Murder him,
them"
g Yes. Betty, will if you'll first venture in"
So Betty leaped up and poker she seized.
While her man shut the door and outside it
And then, you remember, she laid on the
blows,
Now on the bears forehead and now On his
nose;
While her man through the key-hole kept
shouting with din:
well done, my brave Betty! Now hit him
agnl
Now rap on the ribs, now a knock on the
snout,
Now poke with the poker and poke his eyes
out!"
So with rapping and poking poor Betty alone
At last laid Sir Bruin as dead as a stone.
Now when this brave man saw the bear was
no more,
He ventured 10 poke his old nose in the door;
Then Off to the neghbors he fastened, to tell
All the wonderful things that that morning
befell.
And he published the wonderful story afar
How " Ne and my Betty-lCe jist slaughtered
the BAR!
The old grizzly 1end Whisky has forced his
way in
To our loveliest homes and sits with a grin
DevouIing our substance, our children, our
all
Turning our joy and our gladness to gall;
And when we appeal to our men to protect
US
To save us from anguish, from death and
from SIM
They valiantly answer:
Yes, darlings, we WILL if you'll first venture
in"
And as we lay on the old grizzly our blows
Now on his forehead and now on his nose
Our men, through the key-hole, keep shout
ing " Amen!"
swell done, our brave ladies, now hit him
AGAIN."
And when we have fought out the battle
alone,
And the Whislly-iend lies as dead as a stone,
And the popular tide proves anew and afresh
That nothing will ever succeed like success,
Perhaps our gallants, forgetful, VIII say:
Twas tCs and or ladles-We won in the
fray"
And thus the new version be sounded afar
OF how Ne and my Beuty-lce jist slaugh-
tered the bar"
