Burdette and the BURGLARS.

A story is told of how Burdette, the
humorist, after marrying against the
will of his sweetheart's stern father.
visited that gentleman and, with his
wife on one arm and shotgun in the
hollow OF the other, secured peace with
honor. There is another story of an
other exploit with a shotgun by Mr..
Burdette which is authenticated by his
own admission. Burglars were numer-
GUS in Burlington at one time when the
clever writer was engaged on the HaaOk-
eye, and a number of houses near his
own had been raided Naturally, I'M
der the circumstances, Mr. Burdette
slept lightly, and so, when slight noise
was made one night at a window on
the ground floor he was awakened. Mr..
and Mrs. Burdette occupied room in
the second story, and Burdette rose from
his bed quietly, without disturbing his
wife, stepped to a window, and discov-
cred two men at work cutting the Stats
in the shudder of a window opening on
a porch below. 1t was just the oppor-
tunity he had been awaiting. He had
always wanted to kill burglar, any,
how. He felt confident tt robbers,
after entering the house, would come
upstairs, and getting his shotgun he
sat down placidly at the top of the
stairway to await them. He would slay
them with a couple of charges of buck
shot just as they began the cent He
waited long and patiently with the gun
across his knees, but he could hear no
further noise, and the burglars did not
appear. 1t was drowsy sort of night,
just warm enough to make it comfort
able for him where he sat with his back
against the wall, and he concluded to
wait until the Williams came, though he
half feared they might have failed to eff
feet an entrance to the house. He
leaned back contentedly, and it appear
ed to him only moment later when he
was shaken by the shoulder and Mrs.
Burdette wanted to know what he was
doing there. 1t was broad daylight.
The watcher explained the situation,
ard then the two went downstairs. The
door was open and the lower rooms had
been plundered artistically. Whether
the burglars had not intended to come
upstairs at all, or We're deferred by the
annoyance of stepping over sleeping
humorist, will never be known. So the
affair passed into merely an
incident in the annals of quiet neigh
borhood.

Nennook.

If we did not know it to be so, il
would be hard to believe that any ami
| NAL could make its home in the midst
| of the almost perpetual snow and ice OF
| the far north. And yet many more ami
mails than are generally supposed to do
so live iii that intense cold, and have
accommodated themselves to their sur
roundings. For example, the mosquito
has been found so far north as man has
ever gone.
The white bear deserves attention for
the manner IN which it has adapted it.
self to its strange mode of Life.
1t is not called an amphibious ami
NAL, but might probably be so called,
for it is perfectly at home in the water,
indeed it has been known to pursue
and capture so nimble a fish as the sal
mon.
The polar BEARS foot is usually long
and broad even for bears foot, and
this popularity aids in enabling it to
swim so rapidly. But the great foot is
of most use in crossing the slippery ice
or crusted snow. The under part of the
foot is covered with long, soft fur, which
answers the double purpose of keeping
the foot warm in spite of constant con
tact with the cold ice, and of prevent
ing the awkward slipping which would
certainly occur if the sole of the foot
were hard and smooth.
AS a rule, the white bear avoids man
and exerts all its strength and cunning
in capturing its prey. 1t prefers some
member of the seal family, probably be-
cause the seals are usually so plump and
tender. Apparently a baby walrus is a
| choice morsel for it, for it never neg
lects an opportunity of bouncing on
| one.
In the water, the walrus would be
| more than match even for the polar
| bear,it huge tusks and terrible strength
| making it the most formidable of sea
mammals; but on the ice. despite the
fierce courage with which both parents
fight for their offspring, the battle is too
unequal, and the unlucky little walrus,
caught mapping, usually falls victim
| to the big bear And it frequently hap
pens that one or both of the parent-wal-
rus are killed in the vain attempt to res
cue their baby.
Nennook, as the white bear is called
by the Eskimo, frequently displays great
cunning IN capturing the wary seal,
which, fearing its enemy, takes its nap
on the ice close by the edge, ready to
roll into the water at the first alarm.
The bear slips quietly into the water a
long distance from the sleeping seal,
and them swims under water, stopping
occasionally to put out his head and
breathe, until he is in such position
that the seal cannot get into the water
without falling into his clutches.-John
Il. CoryeA, IN the ST. Nicholas.

George Washington's Mother.

She was woman born to command,
and since she was left alone with a
family and an estate to care for, she
took the reins into her own hands, and
never gave them up to any one else.
She used to drive about in an old-fash.
Toned chaise, visiting the various parts
OF her farm, just as planter would dc
on horseback. The story is told that
she had given an agent directions how
to do piece of work, and he had seen
fit to do it differently, because he
thought his way a better one. He
showed her the Improvement
''And pray" said the lady, ''who
gave you any exercise of Judgment in
the matter? | command you, Sir; there
is nothing left for you but to obey"
| think that George Washington
owed two strong traits TO his mother-a
governing spirit, and spirit of order
and method. She taught him many
lessons and gave him many rules; but,
after all, it WAS her character shaping
his which was most powerful. She
taught him to be truthful, but her les

own truthfulness, Nicholas.

point all his life to live in a house where
the chimneys and fire-places worked in

that the available young man who

An Anecdote of George Washington.

There is story told of George Wash
ington's boyhood-unfortunately there
are not many stories-which is to the
point His father had taken a great
deal of pride in his blooded horses, and
his mother afterward took great pains
to keep the stock pure. She had several
young horses that had not yet been
broken. and one of them in particular,
sorrel, was extremely spirited. No
one had been able to do anything with
it, and it was pronounced thoroughly
vicious, as people are apt to pronounce
horses which they have not yet learned
to master. George was determined to
ride this colt, and told his companions
that if they would help him catch it, he
would ride and tame it.
Early in the morning they set out for
the pasture, where the boys managed to
surround the sorrel and then to put a
bit into lis mouth. Washington sprang
on lis back. the boys dropped the bride,
and away flew the angry animal. Its
rider at once began to command; the
horse resisted, backing about the field,
rearing and plunging. The boys be-
came thoroughly alarmed, but Washing
ton kept his seat, never once losing his
self-control or his mastery of the colt.
The struggle was a sharp one; when
suddenly, as if determined to rid itself
OF its rider, the creature leaped into the
air with a tremendous bound. 1t was
the last. The violence burst a blood
vessel, and the noble horse fell dead.
Before the boys could sufficiently re-
cover to consider how they should eX-
tricate themselves from the scrape, they
were called to breakfast; and the mis-
tress of the house knowing that they
had been in the fields, began to ask after
her stock.
pray, young gentlemen said she,
have you seen my blooded colts in your
rambles? l hope they are all well taken
care of. My favorite, am told, is as
large as his sire
The boys looked at one another and
no one liked to speak, OF course the
mother repeated the question.
1.-THE sorrel is dead, madam" said her
son. Il killed him!'
And then he told the whole story.
They say that his h.viller flushed with
anger, as her son often used to, and
then, like him, controlled herself, and
presently said, quietly:
ut is well; but while regret the loss
of my fayorite, | rejoice in my son who
always speaks the truth. "-.St. Nicholas.

Stories About Uncle Joe.

A few week ago the Journal published
a sketch of certain Uncle joe" who
once lived in the vicinity of Lake Au-
burn. Sam Jenkins, the noted light
ning-rod agent, who was raised in I'm
Gle Joe's neighborhood, contributes two
good stories about this odd old fellow.
Uncle Joe never was stuck by long
word. He was an uneducated man, but
no matter how thickly anybody fired abb
struse logic or technical terms at him
he always pretended to comprehend
everything that was said. Sam Jenkins
says that one day, while he was shing-
ling barn with a man named French,
Uncle Joe was seen coming that way.
Jenkins" said French, "Tll bet you
can't give Uncle Joe word that he
won't pretend to understand" Sam
thought he'd try it. Uncle Joe picked
up an old single took out his jack
knife, and began to white. 'Boys,"
said he, eff were in your place l
wouldn't put so many nails in those
shingles. One nail to a single is
enough. It's the way l always single
my barn" Here was Jenkins chance.
But, Uncle Joe," said he, 81 should
think the shingles would elucidate where
you only use one nail to shingle."
"Bless you, they do elucidate; yes, in
deed, they elucidate like thunder, but
that don't hurt 'em any-they come
right back into place." replied Uncle
Joe. whiting the single composedly
all the time.
Uncle Joe was planting corn in his
field one day, when one of his hens fol-
lowed him and ate up the corn as fast
as he went along. Uncle Joe went up
one row and down another, the hen tax
ing up the corn from each hill as fast as
he dropped it. He did not notice the
hen till he reached the last hill in the
last row when he saw the sly old bird
in the hill just back of him. "Hullo!"
said he. "You came BANKED near COM
in out ahead of me, didn't you?"-

One of our American sojourners in
German university town was startled the
other day to hear the question seriously
put and hotly debated by a party of
students: WAS Shakespeare drunk

Not Symptoms, but the Disease.
1t would seem to be truth appreciable by
all. and especially by professors of the healing
art, that to remove the disease. not to alleviate
its symptoms, should be the chief aim of med
ication- Yet in how many instances do we
see this truth admitted in theory, ignored in
practice. The -eason that Hostetter's Stomach
BItters is successful in so many cases with
which remedies previously tried were mad
equate to cope, is attributable to the fact that

Good beer was clasSed as being the
drink next best to water by Dr. Lance
raux, at the Antwerp convention against
alcoholic drinking. His remark applied
to pure, unauthorized, well-made beer.
He said that in France. where the beer
OF the country is scarcely ever doctored
or tempered with, alcoholism is rare, so
long as they confne themselves to that
beverage. Wine of good quality is less
innocuous. For children it is always
bad, and in adults it predisposes to tu-
berculosis, nervous troubles, nightmare,
and other affections. But grain and
potatoes are the agents whence is OBJ
tanned the most deleterious form of al
cohol. These spirits provoke nervous
disorders which commence in the. ex-
tremities, pricking sensations, chills, in
somnia or else hideous visions, tendency
to suicide by hanging or drowning,
and III every instance premature old
age.

MIR. Howells, the novelist. tells good
story about his own writings. After he
had published THE Lady of the Aroos-
took he received letter from an I'M
known friend, an old salt, who knew
whereof he spoke, and in this letter Mr..
Howells was informed that if he allowed
the Aroostook to 60 out to sea in the
rig he had given her she would be lost
before she had fairly cleared the harbor.
This frank nautical criticism was recoo-
nized by MIR. Howells, and in the next
edition the vessel sailed forth under her
proper rig.
