The Lawyer and the Burglar.

The Lawyer and the Burglar. Abou Ben Legis, may his tribe decrease!- Awoke one night from Q sweet dream of fees And saw, within the precincts of his room, Cautiously groping in tho midnight gloom, burglar, helping himself to Abou's gold. Defending rogues had made Ben Lcgis bold, So, quiet-iEe, he to the rascal spoke: My precious friend, arent you the self-same
 bloke
 I saved frou- sentence of ten years or so For such job as thisP' ''I am the same" Replied the rogLA. You aHbied from blame For the performance of that little job" And now, ungratefully, you come to rob Your benefactor!" angry Abou cried. Business is busincss!' the cool scamp replied; With cash bought tho good defense you
 made,
 And now must rob to get back what paidl" But now the law shall hold you In it's tolls; To prison you'll go!" Mot so; for now my spells Amply will mo enable to employ better lawyer! So, good-by, old boy Will see you laterr Here the rogue withdrew; And Ben remarked, as he disappeared from view: This reclamation plainly doth record That legal virtue is it's own rewardr' Chicago Tribune.

Tho Child Musician.

Tho Child Musician. He had played for his Lordship's levee, He had played for her Ladyship's whim, Till the poor little head was weary, And the poor little brain would swim. And the face grew peaked and eerie And the large eyes strange and bright, And they said-too late-"He is weary, He shall rest for at least to-nightr' But nt dawn when the birds were waking, As they watched in the silent room, With the sound of a strained cord breaking A something snapped in the gloom. Twas 8 string of his violincello, And they heard him stir in his bed; Make room for 8 tired little fellow, Kind Godr' was the last he said.

A Newspaper Clipping.

A Newspaper Clipping. Twas a clipping from the paper Telling of sone funny caper
 On the stage; So read it every letter. Saying that I'd seen no better
 For an age. Then turned the clipping ever With no purpose to discover
 What was there, But in smiling contemplation Of the humorist's creation,
 Rich and rare. As looked know I started And the smile from lips departed,
 For l saw, Printed there in uncut column, Notices of death, sad, solemn,
 Full of awe. So, thought, come grief and pleasure, Metcd out with equal measure;
 You may laugh, For some other one is wail1ng, For the tear is smiles unfailing
 Other half.

Marriage as . Success.

Marriage . Success. Iris silly to wed for affection, they say And wicked to marry for gain; 50 at first sight there seems to be no other way Than single through life to remain. But I've hit on plan that is wise and com plete, Combining affection and sense; Iris to wed, if she'll have you, some demoisells sweet Who lives on the fruit of her rents.

A0lr8 or Vln10s From street and square, from hill and glen or this vast world beyond my door I hear the tread of mar:h :hing men, The patient armies Of the poor. The halo of the city's lamps Hnngs, vast torchlight, in the air; watch it through the evening damps; The masters of the world are there. Not erminc-clad or clothed in state, Their title-decdS net yet made plain; But waking early, toiling late, The heirs of ell the earth remain. Some day, by laws as fixed and fair As guide the planets in their sweep, Tho children of each outcast herr Tho harvest-fruits of time shall reap. The peasant brain shall yet be wise, The untamcd pulse grow calm and still; Tho blind shall see, the lowly rise, And work in peace Times wondrous will Some day, without a trumpets call, This news will OCT the world be blown; This heritage come back to alll The myriad monarchS take their ownl" -T. w. Higginson, in the Nationalist.
 The Other Fellow. How seldom do our dreams come truei The very thing our fancy lets Us hope in time will be our owf
 Some other fellow always gets. We fall in love; tho minds diseased, The brain is in a foolish whirl; And while we worship from afar Some other fellow gets the girl Wetry for wealth-deluded fools!- AS men from Adams time have done; And while we toll and strive and fret, Some other fellow yanks the bun.  We yearn for fame and struggle hard To win some measure of renown, And find that to posterity
 Some other fellows name goes down. Ahi what Q torment life would bo If we were of the hope bereft That in some fairer world than this The other fellow would getlcft.

THE FOWL NUISANCE.
Police Regulations Which Should BE
Enforesd-A Suggestion.

Numerous complaints are being made of
chickens, ducks and geese that are permitted
70 run at large and that damage flower beds
| and grass plats and roost on front doors and
porches. Some Of these complaints are made
70 the police and others to the health officer,
out Doth these departments Of the District
government disclaim any responsibility in the
matter, although the police regulations provide
that any person who permits fowls to run at
large shall pay fine, and also provide that
upon second conviction of the owner any
member Of the police force may kill the fowls
complained of. Then there is a section of the
same regulations which provides for the i'm
pounding Of fowls at large and charge of
nifty cents for each fowl is to be made by the
poundmaster.
THE PRESENT LAW.
1.-THE law is clear enough" said health
office official, .'and the police can prosecute the
owners of the fowls complained of and can kill
the fowls upon a second conviction, but the
poundmaster is powerless to carry out the pro-
visions of the regulations which apply to him.
In the first place he has not the necessary APP
pliances for catching them nor has he any
| coops in which to keep them"
AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN.
Chief Clerk McGinn Of the health Office
thinks that if the law cannot be executed as it
stands at present there is one way to abate the
nuisance that will be efectual
"What is that way?"
MAKE chickens common property and I'll
guarantee that there will not be fowl in sight
in twenty flour hours"
Among the complaints received by the po-
lice was one from minister whose front door
step was kept in an unclean condition by other
peoples fowls and whose parking was robbed
of grass seed and his flower bed ruined The
reverend gentleman complained to Maj Moore,
but he did not get relief He was referred to
Poundmaster Einstein and the failure of the
minister to address letter to Mai Moore. in
which he invites the poundmaster to pay
visit to his church and listen to a sermon, he
taking for his text: ''And Simon went afishing."

Stoves in Germany.

United States Consul Monaghan of Mannheim
In his report to the State department says: 1T
may interest our manufacturers and people in
general to know that great preference is
shown in Germany for American and Irish
stoves. Singular as it may seem, Ireland, be-
cause OF her poverty, and America by her
skill, have developed, in the matter of stoves,
much superior article to any hitherto known
in Europe. Both are great favorites but the
American. chiefly for its cheapness, though
why its cost OF production should be less than
that OF the Irish l cannot say, for it is much
more complicated, at least with doors and or
lamentations. So great favorites are both
these stoves that factories run by stock COM
panles have sprung up and are every day
springing up or increasing in size all over the
empire. The German will never import what
he can make, no matter if mis- product is by no
means SO neat or substantial in all its parts as
the original. Pick up any daily paper and you
are sure to find advertisements Of American and
Irish stoves, 'Amerikanische und Irische oefen.
The American or Irishman who fatters him
self that he is going to see a stove
sent from Belfast or New York is much
In error. The Irish stoves and the American
ones are made right here in Mannheim or its
neighborhood. 1t is only the pattern that
America or Ireland supplies, nothing more,
not even the workmen- These stoves not only
are being bought when new ones are wanted or
needed, but are taking the place of the old por.

can by the poor. l had the satisfaction of
going through one of the factories accom-

hopes to introduce these German-made stoves
into the United States. could not help won

much Of the work was done and the slow
ness Of manipulation, why we could not

to compete here, but above all to
keep the South American and African
trade from Germans. / feel perfectly salts fed
that Americans could produce their own pat
terms and the Irish stoves much cheaper than
do the Germans. The great cause for these
two kinds Of stoves being such favorites is their
capacity for saving the consumption Of coal in
country where the latter is so dear. These
stoves destined sooner or later, to replace all
the woodworking stoves, for, dear as coal is as
a commodity for household use, wood is much
more SO. But write to suggest that an effort
be made to secure South American and other
trade, which Germans will be reaching after
just as soon as they find themselves fitted up
to have surplus over the home demand,
which, at the present rate of growth and pro-
duction, must be very soon.

The Boy and His Spring Gun.

Alittle red-haired twelve-year old boy named
Louis Smell was in the Police Court this morn
Ing, charged with firing gun in the Smithson-
ian grounds and with trespassing on the park.
Park Waterman Thomas Morris appeared as
prosecuting witness. He had with him a spring
gun, which he took from the boy, and dead
bluebird which the boy had killed with it.
Judge Miller asked the boys father where his
son got the gun and he answered he did not
know. The boy said that he purchased the gun
from another boy and went out killing birds
for the NAH at the Zoo, who said he wanted them
to feed to the eagles Judge Miller said that
policemen cannot 90 into families and regulate
children. That is the duty Of the parents, and
If they permit their children to carry these
dangerous toys about the public streets and
parks they must expect to pay the penalty In
consideration of the boys youth the judge said
he would only fine him ON one charge and
would suspend the other. The boys father
paid fine Of 80.

Mark Twain EniOined.

Saturday Judge DAILY granted the injunction
which Edward Ii. House asked for against
Samuel l.. Clemens, Mrs. Abby Sage Richard
son and Daniel Frohman, restraining them
from giving Mrs. Richardson's dramatlzation
OF Prince and Pauper." Mr. House averred
that he had made an agreement with MIR.
Clemens to dramatize the latter's story. ''Ths
Prince and the Pauper." but that Mr. Clemens
had made subsequent arrangement with Mrs
Richardson, who had made the dramatzation
which was produced at the Broadway theater.
Concerning some conversation Of which House
and Clemens gave radically different accounts
Judge DAILY says that Mr.. House would be
much more likely to remember exactly what
was said, he being an invalid and accustomed
to do all his letter writing and transact his
business methodically, while Clemens was a
busy and popular author, and therefore not so
favorably situated for remembering with exact

DR.. Hostetter,s Millions.

On Wednesday last the orphans court at
Pittsburg issued a decree distributing the
funds and securities of the estate of the late
David Hostetter, Of ''bitters'' fame. The
amount was S5,9OO,000. After the death of Dr.
David Hostetter no will was found, and con-
sequently, in the courts decree, two sisters Of
Dr.. David Hostetter, Mrs. Stoner OF Allegheny
and Mrs. Smey of Lancaster, a widow with
five children, find no share in their brothers
fortune: The two sisters have engaged coun-
sci and will make a vigorous effort to
secure an equal share with the heirs of their
deceased brother David. The claim upon
which they will base their contest is that in
1855 their father transferred his business to
their brother without valuable consideration
OF any kind that at the time Of the transfer
their father was incompetent to transact bust
ness and that. therefore, the transfer was il
legal, and they are entitled each to a one-third
interest in their fathers estate. The defeh B
have engaged counsel in Washington and
Philadelphia. Suit will be entered at an early
date,
