yenience to which passengers, and
especially ladies, are subjected in
crowded street cars, the New York Press
suggests the construction of street cars
without any seats at all. The passengers
would then be on an equality of dis
comfort. No complaints would be made
about the refusal of men to give up theiI
seats to ladies. All would have to stand,
and the accommodations would be
equally shared.

had intended to fall upon the hunter
and bury her fangs in his throat, but
she fell dead at the waters edge where
her enemy had stood.
Brown skinned the two panthers and
started back for his cabin. The course
he took led him to the spot where
the big panther had buried Samuel
Rogers sheep that morning. AS he
neared it he heard the growing and
snarling made by pauthers while de-
vouring their food. He approached
cautiously, and peered through the
bushes A male and female panther
were busily engaged in making a meal
off of the sheep. Brown shot one Of
the panthers dead as it ate. Its mate
sprang into the very tree in which the
hunter had first discovered the big one
earlier in the day. 1tpaused on branch
and looked back at its dead mate. As
it gazed Brown reloaded his rifle. The
panther in the tree presented favor
able mark. Brown fired, and the
panther fell from limb to limb, clrsch-
ing at each in its death struggles, and
at last tumbled to the ground and died.
Six hours from the time Captain Brown
had left his cabin in the morning, after
travelling more than twenty miles
through swamps, tangled woods and
high mountains, he was back again,
with four of the biggest panther skins
ever stripped from the backs of any
animals of their kind in the old Ly-
coming woods. That days work of
the king of the panther slayers is re-
lated as the greatest of all the exploits
of the great hunter of the Loyalsock.

KEPT HIS PROMISE.
A Small Boy Saved from Ruined Life
by Kind Word.


by a Kind Word.
I remember case that happened
years ago in Illinois. A lawyer friend
of my father defended lad for stealing
apples. The owner of the orchard was
without pity, but the lawyer pleaded
that the child's act was merely one of
gluttony and that he ought to be in
diligently treated. This was the view
of the matter taken by the justice and
he spoke to the accused in q fatherly
way.
you hear" lie said, "what has been
said about you, that you are no thief;
now l am going to acquit you, but you
must first promise that in future you
will behave in q way to redeem this
fault you have committed.
THE boy, who had been crying Bit
terly, looked up, wiped away his tears,
and gave the required answer in firm
voice. Years passed away. One day
as the lawyer stepped off the train at
Detroit he was accostcd by gentle
man who asked if he remembered him.
mo, do not recall ever having seen
you before" was his reply.
"Well, l am the little apple thief
whom you once defended. want to
let you know that / have kept the
promise made on that occasion. 1

GLAMOUR LAND.

All, dim, lost Glamourlandl
On whose confines stand,
Longing for home that home shall be no more
There stood my palace grand,
Where now, on either hand,
The fiery swords of seraphs guard the door.
There once roamed to Gull
Dear hopes more beautiful
Than siren thoughts that musing monks resist
Nothing too far or fair
But its mirage was there
Pictured upon the valleys rosy mist.
There each sweet day heard
Songs OF a brooding bird,
Telling OF purest pleasure yet TO be:
There, by the singing streams,
Faint forms OF darling dreams
Loitered and fingered hand in hand with me.
All, dim, dear fancy-landl
Thy, wellIin, rainbow-spanned,
The sOftened light Of halcyon hours o'erpast,
Fading away, away,
All the expanse is gray
AS fades the summer moon, too fair to last.

DARING ROBBERlES.


Eurglaries Planned with Astonishing Care
and CIrcumspectIOn
A few weeks ago the residence of a
Mr.. Greenfel, at Taplow Court, En-
gland, was entered and jewelry, prin-
cipally bridal presents, valued at $25,
900 carried off The time was the
servants supper hour. There was no
one in the second story of the mansion.
The burglars entered, took the prop
erty, and departed without making any
noise or leaving the smallest article by
which any clew could be obtained.
There was not the slightest suspicion
against any of the servants or any one
living in the neighborhood. No
strangers had been seen about the
place for months.
Still it was evident that the burglars
knew every thing about the house. from
top to bottom. They were familiar
with the habits of the family. the time
tor taking meals and the location of
articles about the place. They must
have known exactly where the jewelry
was kept. They had planned their ex-
pcditiOn with as great care as ever n
great military commander did cam
paign. They had arranged for their
advance, and for their retreat, if one
was found necessary. They had
fastened every door and window in the
lower story. They had stretched fine
copper wires under the grass all over
the lawn, so that persons would be
tripped upif they tried to overtake
them. It seemed likely that the rob-
berry was planned shortly after fash
ionable marriage occurred and the
London and provincial papers pub
lished accounts of the costly bridal
presents. Evidently weeks had been
spent in making preparations for the
robbery.
The history of crime. like that of
other events, is likely to repeat itself.
A London paper, from which this in
formation is obtained, states that %
similar burglary occurs in Great Britain
every year. The house robbed is always
at some distance from large town, so
that the inmates entertain no fear of
robbers. The occupants Of the house
are always wealthy and generally I'M
suspicious people. The articles stolen
are rarely if ever found. They are not
disposed of at pawnshops or to COM
mon dealers. They are not offered for
sale in country towns. They cannot be
found in any OF the cities on the CONT
nent. Jewellers who made the articles
can always recognize them.
1t seems likely that the persons en-
gagged in these robberies are possessed
of means sufficient to enable them to
live for years. 1t is also likely that
they keep the articles they steal till the
persons who would be able to recognize
them die or lose their recollection of
them. 1t is presumed that many of the
articles stolen are sent to America or
India. 1t seems probable that there is
an international arrangement for dis
posing of these goods. Warning people
against leaving valuable jewelry and
plate unprotected appears to do no
good. They may be locked up in a
vault or safe for q few months. but at
the end of this time they are left on
tables as before. The skillful profess
sional burglars know this and make
their calculations accordingly. -CM.
