Hide and Seek.

Policeman Conners and Deputy Tax
Collector Knebel visited Hungarian
boarding house few days ago to arrest
delinquent Taxpayers. The woman who
runs the house was on the look out for the
officers and when they approached the
house she locked the door. She kept the
officers out until the boarders secured hid
ing places and then she opened the door
with a smile and Come in, Mr.. Blease-
man."
Where are your boarders ~ asked
Conners.
"Boarders sll gone workin', Mr.. Blease-
man." was the glaring falsehood.
Oonners started to go up stairs, but the
woman attempted to stop him, saying
Vat form you want up dere. You come
down, mine boarder gone"
''Yes, you boarder gone, but me 60 up
and see," said Conners, as he pushed the
woman aside and walked up stairs.
Arriving in one of the upper rooms
Conners searched all the closets and looked
under the beds, but no Hunk could he find.
In one corner of the room several bundles
OF straw stood on end. Conners poked his
cane into them as he passed and was sur
prised to hear, Hold on, Mr.. Bleaseman;
l come, come"
Conners was forced to smile as be saw a
Hunk crawl from behind the bundles of
straw. "Vot form you do dere2' asked
Conners, with grimmace.
Oh, me just have some fun" the Hun
answered as he arose to his feet.
The policeman started down stairs with
the man, but when half way down be
turned back and asked the prisoner if any
other boarders were upstairs. The fellow
assured him most solemnly that there were
none, bat Conners returned to the room.
More in spirit of curiosity than anything
else the offic, r lifted the cover of small
trunk, in which he found, packed as
snugly as a cude's satche, full-grown,

THE pearl button industry wac
started in this country about fifty
years ago, but, unfortunately, did not
thrive, and those who invested their
money in the enterprise had to sur-
cumb to adverse circumstances, for
they learned to their loss that they
could not make or sell as good articles
as those that were imported equally as
low. Many attempts have been made
from time to time to revive the in
dustry, but they all proved fruitless up
to 1890, when the present tariff law
was enacted. Impressed with this
view of the surroundings, numerous
pearl works have been erected during
the last nine or ten months in and
around New York and Brooklyn, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
which are now in full operation with
no less than 1000 hands employed,
earning good wages-from S17 to 500 a
week-and skilled workmen and
cutters of fine work from $24 to $50 q
week.
