THE TONGUE.

"The honelesS tongue, so small and weak.
Can crush and KILL declared the Greek.
"The tongue DESTROYS n greater horde"
The Turk asserts, ''th IN does the sword"
The Persian proverb wisely saith,
a lengthy tongue an early DEATH"
Or sometimes takes this form instead:
"Don't let your tongue cut off your head"
1.-THE tongue can speak word whose speed"
Says the Chinese, "outstrips the steed"
While Arab saEcS this mpart:
" The tongues great storehouse is the heart"
From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung,
''Though feet should slip, ne'er let the tongue"
The sacred writer crowns the whole.
"Who keeps his tongue doth keep his SOUL"

If a man smokes his cigar only to keep

his mouth to watch the curl of the smoke
in the air, set him down as an easy going

releases his grip on the cigar and is in
different whether it burns OF not; he is
cool, calculating, and eXacting. The
man that smokes bit, rests bit, and
fumbles the cigar more or less is easily
affected by circumstances. If the cigar
goes out frequently, the smoker has a

He Was In Prison for Many Years and
Made Friends With Rats.
Though the rat can be fierce when called
upon to defend its life, there is a softer side
to its character which is often brought out
by contact with man. Many instances of
this could be adduced similar to that of the
omnibus conductors tame rat, which used
to mount guard over its masters dinner
and fly savagely at any one who ventured to
come near it. The animal had been caught
during the removal Of some hay, and spared
because Of its piebald coat. IL was very at
tached to its owners children, and would
play about them as merrily as kitten. On
cold nights ii slept in its masters bed,
nesting as closely to him chicken

Tude, Frenchman who fell under the dis
pleasure of Mime. de Pompadour in 1749.
and was consequently imprisoned in the
Bastille and other fortresses for thirty-five
years, tells how he alleviated the tedium of
his captivity by making companions of
some rats. He was much annoyed for
years by the rats, which at Dightfall
swarmed into his cell, hunting about for
scraps Of food, and sometimes biting his
face when he was asleep. They entered by
hole which ventilated his dungeon; 1t
was about two feet above the floor,
and under it were two steps on
which he used TO sit and breathe the
fresh air as it entered. While seated there
one day he noticed large rat at the other
end OF the hole, and threw it fragment OF
bread. This was snatched up, and was fol-
lowed by more pieces until his supply was

ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY
What Befell a Frenchman at an
Early Morning Hour.

Early yesterday morning a Frenchman
who is said to be in the liquor business, and
whose name is not given by the police, was
approached on Pacific street by two large
men who said they were police officers and
desired to know whether he carried any
weapons.
The Frenchman, thinking that they were
officers on the morning watch, replied in an
agreeable and obliging way, Search me-"
The two men, who were large and power
fnl, speedily went through the French, but
found no weapons.
lyon see | am a good citiZan, l am not
armed" replied the victim.
The two men continued their search and
found large leathern purse tied with q
string
That is my money; give it to me- said
sec," returned the men.
They opened the purse and saw it full of
$50 pieces. They took charge of the
purse. The Frenchman clanored for
his money, saying 1t represented all his
savings, $3.50, but the men told him to 90
along ana enforced their command by beat
ing, cutting and kicking the Frenchnan
until he ran Off in fright.
The Frenchman went to the Chief of Po-
lice and complained of his treatment. lie
gave very accurate description Of the
robbers.
The police officials were much surprised
at the boldness of the highway robbery in
the very center Of the city, and determined
to ca ture the culprits
Officers Murray and Wren, who are ia
miliar with the Barbary Coast were de-
tailed to investigate the case. After much
hard work they secured enough evidence
to warrant an arrest of two men whom
they state committed the daring robbery by
persOnating officers.
The frst man arrested was George
Smith, hack-driver at the Plaza. He was
arrested by Officer Murray early in the
day and locked up in the tanks.
The second man arrested was brought to
the Central Station by Officers Murray and
Wren about 10 o'clock last night.
He gave the name of John Williams
which was duly entered on the small book.
