THE BUSY BURGLAR.
HE is QUITE A LOSOPHER AND
NOT HALF so BAD AS SOME
OTHER PEOPLE.

The burglar is a thief who is
willing to risk bis life to acquire
wealth in an illegitimate manner.
There are many men who acquire
millions In a criminal way without
being oblldged to risk their lives.
We refer to corrupt officials, capt.
talists who wreck railroad COM
panips IN their own interests, and
various types of financial and legal
sharks. Compared with these the
burglar and the train robber are
gentlemen.
The burglar, like his friend the
philosopher, takes every thing just
as 1t comes, and occasionally he
goes for 1t.
The life of the burglar is fal
from being a pleasant one. H'
has to encounter much that is dis
agreeable aud discouraglng. Fol
instance, burglars who break int
grocery stores complain that th'
pies are no longer young.
In New jersey not long since
burglar made a mistake and enter
ed the house of an editor. How
discouraglpg a mistake OF tha
kind must be to an industrious an'
ambitious burglar. BY the way
there is a striking point OF reSen
blance between the busy edito
and the hard working burglar. l
is their dislike to long sentences.
Next to the sleepy watchmaIl
the burglars best friend Is th
; burglar alarm. 1t is a wondertI
, invention. 1t can always be relle
! on to warn the burglar IN seaso
for him to get out of the way o'
tore anybody can shoot.-1eT'

"Hunuer Is the Best Sauce. u

AS a rule, person who has a
good appetite has good health.-
But how many there are who eu-
ioy nothing they eat, and sit down
TO meals only as an unpleasant
duty. Natures aDtidotes for this
condition are so happily combined
In Hoods SarsaparilIa that it soon
restores good digestion, creates an
appetite, and renovates and vital
ize the blood so that the beneficial
effect of good food is impaired to
the whole body. Truly hunger Ia
the best sauce, and Hoods Sar'
saparilla ind duces hunger.

A Western lawyer who often ad'
dresses him self TO individual men,
bers Of the juries he contront',
once appeared for the plaintiff in a
suit for damages brought against
street railroad company. lie
made a most elOqu ent appeal, but
was unable to hold the attention
of one of the Jurors, who appeared
to be and old sailer. AT last he
stopped directly in front OF the
sailor, and addressing him alone
said "Now, mate, l will tell you
how the accident happeL ed. The
plaintiff was in command of an
outward bound car, and stood In
her starboaId channels. An in
ward bound car came along, and
lust and their bows met she jump
ed the track, keeled, sheered tc
port, knocked my client overheard
and ran over him." The sailor
listened attentively, and promptly
Joined IN verdict of five Thousand

SOMETHING FOR BOYS.

/
ing and beautiful sight. Driving
through a rugged part of the coun
try, my attention was directed to an
elderly lady trying to pick her way
over the hillside. She came very
slowly and carefully. The hill was
! quite steep, and l was pltying her
and thinking If it would not be we'll
to offer my services, when | heard a
whistIing boy coming up behind the
carriage. He bounded past and
running up the hill put his arms
around the lady and steadied her
steps, saying pleasant words, l
know, for the face encased in the
warm hood looked beaming and
bright With happiness. AS we
passed | heard her say these words,
at is so nice to have a boy come
and help mother down the bill"
They passed on, and went into a
farm house at the foot of the hill !;
knew they were mother and SON
There WAS "A sermon in those few
words, thought. | wish every
boy could have heard them.
You boys, all OF you, are here to
help mother dOwn the hill of lite.
You don't all do it though more's
the pity. Some of you make 1t
harder for her. You do things
that trouble her, she is anxious
about yon, and then has to pick
her Way over places a thousand
times rougher than walking down
steep hill. Perhaps you are get
ting into bad habits, and Will not
obey her counsel. Her poor heart
IS bruised and torn by your con
duct. She knows what the result
of evil doings are; that i: a boy
begins habits that he only consld-
ers hight as cobwebs IN his youth,
by and by they may become iron
chains about him, and when he is
man he will be slave to them.
Now boys, if you would help the
dear mother down the hill OF life,
and make the path smooth tor her,
do the things she wishes you to do.
And if you are all right as regards
bad habits, perhaps you are not as
thonrhtfnl Of the "llttle things" that
make up life as you might be. BE
as polite in waiting upon your
mother as you are in waiting upon
other bows mothers. DOu't speak
in rough tones to her. Be always
gentle when you speak to her, and
careful to remember what she
wishes YOU to he particular to at
different times and IN different
places.
"lts SO nice to have a boy help
a mother down the hill.' Yes
when weary and worn with llte's
hard work, and age begins to come,
it's a great satisfaction and source
of gratitude to know that a strong
upright boy is coming up to bell
mother down.
And you boys who have goh'
from home, although you cannon
literally put your arm aro u Il Il
mother aud steady her steps, ye'
YOU can write her good, long letters
and tell her you wish you were IL
the old home again, so you cOulc
bug and kiss her as you did wheI
YOU we're a little fellow, and lovet
to climb up In her lap. Oae OF th'
greatest blessings in the world Ii
that of haying a praying mother
Make yourselves worthy OF tn
good mothers God has given you
! and take your mothers God TO
YOUR God in the days of your youth

A Gayer Christianity.


Still great strides toward gayer Chris
tianity have been made within my recol-
lection, and the most noticeable of all its
signs has been the decay of that rigid Sab
batariauism which did its best to blot the
sunshine out of every recurring seventh
day. Only few Sundays ago minister
in the land of the Covenanters was bold
enough to advocate the playing OF football
on Sunday. The Saturday safternoon
game, it seemed, left its devotees
no energy for church-going next
morning. and so the reverend gem
tleman proposed the transferring of the
romps to the Sabbath afternoon, that
they might not form an impediment TO
righteousness in the morning. There have
always been ProtestaLts more Protestant
than Luther, and Christians more Chris
tian than Christ. Luther taught that the
Sabbath was to be kept, not because Moses
commanded it, but because nature teaches
us the necessity of the seventh days rest
He says: IF anywhere the day is made
holy for the mere days sake, then / de-
mand you to work on it, ride on it, dance
on it, do anything that will reprove this
encroachment on Christian spirit and lib
erty." Puritan lack of charity and dread
of cheerfulness often leads Anglo-Saxon
visitors to France to misjudge the French
mode of spending Sunday.
