Rustling After Burglars.

He is little man, and when his wife woke
him, says the Chicago Tribune, and excitedly
whispered to him that there was a man in the
kitchen he told her to let him stay there
But bell get into the dining room and steal
all the silver. she said in an undertone. Are
you a cowardf"
Well, now. perhaps he was a coward when IL
came TO tackling burglar in the dark, but no
man is going to admit that to his wife, so he
jumped out of bed and said with the best show
OF courage possible:
''I'll so in the hall and see IL can hear him ="
He went out into the hall and he heard him
He didn't expect to and he didn't want to, but
he did. There was some one in the house be-
yond all question, and he wasn't particularly
anxious to meet him. He didn't think he had
much OF a show with q good, burly burglar
and he was in a quandary until he remembered
the speaking tube.
There was q mouthpiece in the hall and q
whistle in the kitchen.
He went back into the bed room and asked
| sharply: Where are my trousers?'
Perhaps you had better not go down,

throw over this shoulders, but I'm good for

around him as he tried to go out Of the room,

away and hurried out, but III fool them all;

He returned q few minutes latter, and, as he
pulled of his trousers again. said reproachfuIly,

Several ROB men have just been telling a
New York newspaper what they intend to
do In case they should be interviewed by an
agrarlan crank with an explosive attach
ment concealed about his person. Knowing
Just what the line Of defense is TO be the
cranks can now lay their plans for the at
tack with such subtle cunning as 30 over
come all resistance. Really some Of these
obtrusively rich fellows have a great deal
more OF money than brains Instead of
Boosting Of their aggressive tendencies and
methods Of defense In such a foolish way as
to challenge attack they should Immediately
engage one Of those suave and Elusive pros
fessional green goods" artists to deal with
suoh intruders. II his plausible af7ability
did not pacify them or 'stand them OFF,
then they are very hard to handle. Should
they ever blow up the chin professor there
is no great harm done. II the barrel"

Ia Mr. Milla S1llkinrq

There is good deal of talk to the effect
that Mr. Mills is so greatly disappointed
over his defeat for the speakershlp that he
is thinking about resigning and returning
to Texas to mako canvass of the state for
the seBatorship that is soon to become va
cant. 1t is said that he has made up his
mind not to accept the Craftsmanship Of the
ways and means committee if offered to
him. or Of any other committee.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Mills feels his
defeat keenly, but there is no reason why
he should take it 80 much to heart. He
made a strong fight and was fairly beaten.
He has no good reason for complaining.
Another was preferred 20 him, and that is
all there is of it.
It is probable that Speaker Crisp will
offer him the Craftsmanship of the ways
and means committee, which carries with
it the leadership of the House. He car
hardly avoid doing SO, though it is probable
that he would like to give the place to G
northern man. Mr.. Mills would have good
reason for sulking il 1t should not be Offered
to him
Mr.. Mills is now i'll. and he is mentally
depressed probably. When he gets abou
again he will take more cheerful view OF
| the situation. He could not refuse the chair
manship of the ways and means committe,
without exposing himself to the criticism
of not being a big enough man to accep
defeat gracefully. After all, he probably
does not mean to resign, or take bacl
seat. Much of the gossip as TO his purpose
may not have much fou ndation.

Just how the South Carolina planters OF

of cotton by selling their crops to the
county commissioners is not very clear to

Aud what could they do with itl Beside il
would be unlawful and unjust TO apply
local taxes to such purpose as advancing
money upon this cotton. II the county con-

The Democratic Convention Oily,

me OemOCrdklC convention OlUy.
The impression seems to be that the demo-
cratic national committee which meets
In Washington Jan. 81, will select either
New York or Chicago az the place for hold
ing the democratic national convention.
At the meeting of the executive committee
the other day the question OF the place was
not discussed, but tine sentiment among
democrats, from all parts OF the country.
who were in Washington at that time, was
that the convention should meet in New
York. Chicago was regarded as a second
choice.
st. Louis, 1t is understood, intends to in
vite the convention to meet there, but will
make no great effort to secure it. There is
likely to be q pretty lively contest for it be-
tween Indianapolis and st. Paul. The
former city will have an immense hall COM
pleted within the next three or four months
and it would like to have the convention &C.
cupy it. The latter city is going to make
an extraordinary effort to getit Its rival,
Minneapolis, has secured the republican
convention and st. Paul is determined to
leave no stone unturned to secure as great
an attraction.
By the time the democratic national com.
mittse meets it will have been pretty de-
finitely decided where the convention is tc
assemble. 1t looks now as if New York
would get it. and, if not New York, Their
Chicago. 1t is not matter of very great
consequence, however, whether the con-
vention is held In an eastern or western
city. But the contrasting cities are endeav-
oring to make it appear that it is.
