Burn Your Old Letters.

30 much mischief has been done by the
foolish habit Of keeping old letters, that it is
wise to adopt the rule of destroying them at
once. Their mission is ended, what are they
good for2 81 may like to read them while
recovering from an Illness" says some one.
Pshawl AS If these would be the tonic you
needed at such time. Better far O breath
OF pure air. We are all prone to brood too
much as such times, and need no suoh help
in that direction. Let this plea for the
burning Of letters be strong one. Busi-
ness letters should be filed and labeled.
Lave blank book into which ~ copy such
dates or extracts as may be Of value in
the future for references. This can be
done when letters are answered. Then
burn them and see the ashes. It is the sor-
rows instead Of the joys that most letters
contain. They are the safety-valve for deep
feeling from friend to friend, good in their
time, but sometimes worse than useless In
the future. Every day brings now expo
riences. We are constantly changing, and
in many cases would be ashamed of our own
letters written ten years ago.

But for = Moment He Thought It Was tho
Expected Burglar.
OF course you have been aroused sudden
ly in the night by some mysterious sound
in your chamber, jumped hastily from your
warm and comfortable couch and then sud
denly awoke with q bewlldering sense Of
not knowing where you were. This same
thing happened to West side young man
the other night, says the Chicago Herald.
When fully awakened he sat quietly on tho
edge Of the bed and listened acutely for the
sound that at first had alarmed him. Soon -
came again. It was as though some one
was tiptoeing softly across the carpet. Tho
young man remembered that In the
further corner of the room stood loaded
shotgun. 1t had not been discharged since
the war, but he realized that the charges in
war times were much higher than
they are now, and he argued that
there must be enough left to
kill q burglar. SO he cautiously
felt his way across the room until he had
secured the gun. Carefully cooking 1t he
suddenly lit the gas and turned to meet the
burglar. But there was no one in sight
Laying the Illusion to his imagination he
replaced the loaded gun and crawled back
between the warm sheets. Just as he was
doing of he again heard the sounds of
footballs, and again he seized the gun and
turned up the gas. There was no one else
in the room. Thoroughly my stifed, he re-
solved to investigate. He sat on the edge
OF ebed, allowing the gas to burn at full
head, and listened. Soon he heard the
sound again. It came from beneath tho
carpet. Seeing wriggling lump in the
middle of big pattern he brought his gun
down on it heavily. There was O wild
squeak and all was still. The mystery was
solved. Beneath the carpet was padding
of straw, and venturesome mouse had
been pulling out single straws for his nest
In his hole near by. Each jerk he gave q
straw produced the sound Of light foot
foil on the carpet,Land as he jerked regu-
larly the illusion of q cautious burglar was
produced.
