Reading Character.

Dribbler-In my opinion man who
writes an illegible hand does it because he
thinks people are willing to puzzle over it.
In other words, he is chunk Of conceit.
Scribbler-Not always. Sometimes a
man writes illegibly, not because he is con-
ceited, but because he is modest.

why did the i'll assorted but seemingly
wealthy ,rsir 20 tc the obscure hamlet of
Murphy to liver
The Same query, directed along differ
ent line. has to do with o. recent event in
South Africa, and takes form like this:
Why did the robbsr lose his nerve at the
last moment when he had a fortune in his
grasp? Here is the story: A mail train
from Kimberley to Cape Town carried a
valuable consignment of diamonds. On
reaching Piquetberg road an attachment
was noticed under the postal car.
No special Importance, however, was
given to it, as it was imagined it was an
arrangement to accommodate the passen-
gers luggage, or thst, as one of the Off
Gals put It, some one was stealing ride.
But when the train arrived at Cape Town
it was found that cut ia the shape of an
ellipse, and about 2 feet by foot, had been
made in the bottom of the compartment.
The staff on investigating saw that this
aperture had been made Immediately be-
low the safe in which was the diamond
OUIDuU
came to the conclusion that the diamonds
had been stolen, and, as one of the officials
said, "You might have knocked me down
with feather" Fortunately, however,
the gems were safe. The would be thief
evidently had taken alarm, and fed at the
instant when he had almost accomplished
his purpose.
The safe is about foot 9inches by foot
inches, and always occupies one spot in
the van. being fastened to two uprights; it
is further secured by clamps. The thief
had made hole in two places, and seven
teen cuts in ALL Below the carriage he
had rugged up a seat which was feet
8 inches long, consisting of plank with
rope attached to the connections of the
brake The seat swung only 2 feet 8
inches below the level of the van, and
the daring fellow must have sat on
this risky bench, and with feet against
some projection have pierced flooring and
safe. The latter was about three-quarters
of an inch from the floor, and contained
some 922, 900 worth of diamonds. 1t is
remarkable fact that.the depredator knew
the exact spot Of the safe; but it is not so
remarkable that the post Office officials
who travelled did not hear his operations
owing to the rattle of the train.
He thought he saw ghost. That is why
John Williams confessed himself a MUIR
derer, gave away" his pal and cleared up
the mystery surrounding the recent bur-
glary of Mr.. Dect1er's house at Morris,
His, which involved the killing of Decker
and the almost fatal beating Of his mother.
As Williams, who is a negro and his COM
panion, James Maxwell, rushed from the
house they met a servant girl.clad in her
night dress. The colorsd man thought her
a ghost and ever after, while a fugitive
and while in custody was tormented by
recollections of the supernatural vision.

THAT NIGHT.


You and l. and that night, with its per-
frme and gloryl-
: The scent of the locusts-the light of the
moon
And the violins weaving the walters a
story,
Enmeshing their feet in the welt of the
tune,
Till their shadows uncertain
Reeled round on the curtain,
While. under the trellis we drank in the
June.
Soaked through with the midnight the
cedars were sleeping.
Their shadowy trcsscs outlined in the
bright,
Crystal, moon-smitten mists, where the
fountains heart leaping
Forever,
Forever, forever burst, full with delight;
And its lisp on my spirit
Fell faint as that near it
Whose love like a lily bloomed out in the
night.
Oh, your glove was an odorous sachet of
blisses
The breath of your fan was breeze Of
Cathay
And the rose at your throat was nest of
spilled kisses
And the music-in fancy, | hear it to-
day,
As sit here, confessing
Our secret. and blessing
My rival who found us, and waltzed you
away.

THE coxoUNRon coNo CERED.

In southern archipelagos he fought the
bloody cannibal;
He'd skinned and tanned the crocodile and
found him very tannable
Not word of fear he'd uttered, not a word
and not "A syllable,
When he killed the Bengal tiger, and he
found him very kilable.
He claimed his strength was very great,
for bears and lions suitable;
He used to boot the grizzly bear, and found
him very bootHble:
He claimed in killing monstrous snakes
that he was very capable,
No boa-eonstrictor could escape, for he was
unacceptable.
Just then his wife came in and said "rd
think it quite commendable
II you'd come and tend the baby and
you'll find him very tendablc."
The way she took him by the ear will
make this poem readable;
She pulled him ont and led him home and
found him very leadable.
