keeper are responsible for the recent
daring burglaries that have alarmed

covered Saturday morning trying to
blow open the safe of the Gardiner
bank.
BurglaTies have been frequent during
the last year and a detective was en-
ployed to ferret out the thieves. He
suspected the trio and joined them in
order to get at their secrets. He helped
them to plan the burglary of the bank
and while they were in the act of blow
ing open the safe called on them to sur
render. They resisted and attempted
to escape. The detective shot DIR. Nc
Adam and brought him down and cap.

is said this gang recently robbed James
Keon, resident, of 5000, and committed
several other daring burglaries. The
doctors are well known and stood well

finished.
Ten minutes before the closing hour
he was Off and not one dared as much
as hint for him to stay till the rest
were done.
He also began to dress in the style
becoming to a young gentleman of his
culture and position in society.
He couldn't wear collar high
enough nor carry a cane big enough.
And when he walked comfortably in
one morning, late as usual, under an
immense high silk hat with kid gloves
on his inl<-stained fingers and q flower
in the buttonhole of his Prince Albert
coat, none ventured to let him see
the smile his glorious appearance pro-
voked.
But he got to the end of his rope at
last.
With his invincible freshness and
cheek he interviewed the firm one day
in the private Office Gu the subject of
raise of salary.
He stated how much the cost of liv-
ing had increased since he had begun
to make himself useful, and how hard
he worked and how difficult it was to
fill the position of Importance he had
accepted, and that in the near future
he contemplated matrimony and con-
sequently ought to have enough to
support family.
When he sneaked meellly out of the
private office with flushed face it was
evident that his demands had been re-
fused and that the grand bounce act
had been performed.
So he packed his traps, and, never
saying a word, stalked angrily and
with much dignity out of the store, to
the immense joy and satisfaction of
those he left behind him.
We have since heard that he is
married and being supported by his
| father.i n-law-who has our sympathy
| in his atiliction. H. G. Dodge, in De-
| troit Free Press.

Florida ware is perfectly white, with
alligator skin markings and roses and
hyacinths applied in relief.
Royal Barbotine has surface which
looks as if it had been sprinkled with
ground cork, and is decorated with
highly colored flowers in relief.
The use of vases for lamp bodies still
prevails. The most costly specimens of
porcelain glass and silver are consid-
cred none too good for this purpose.
Large and deep red and green bowls
of Bohemian glass mounted on low
standards, have rich gold borders,
These have their own trays and cups
mounted to correspond.
Phoenix ware is English and has a
popularity there which it will doubtless
gain here. 1t resembles in effect Royal
Worcester, but is not so tiue and, OF
course is less expensive.
Rococo ware has sections of rough
sandy surface varied with smooth pol
ished enamel surfaces of dark blue and
crimson. In the rough surfaces are
dragons, gargoyls and other mythical
designs incised in brown.

fellow, standing so humoly, ana reply-
ing so respectfully while the usual
questions were being asked, we all
pitied him, and did our best to place
him at his ease and tighten the ordeal
he had to go through.
How his hand trembled as he put
down a row of figures to add, and how
painfully careful he was to make good
ones and write few lines at the end in
beautiful schoolboy style.
Then, when we told him we would
qet him know on the morrow If he was
accepted, how politely he bowed with
a sweet and thankful smile and walked
briskly away.
We all fell in love with the little
angel at once and congratulated our
selves that we had discovered such a
treasure.
, The next day, after getting the no.
tice that he was engaged, he promptly
appeared, and, being given his desk,
started on his career of usefulness.
He kept us busy all the day supply

He was u perfect steam engine for
work, and the quickness with which he
finished task and then cried for more
was wonderful, and it taxed our inge-
nuity to the utmost to satisfy his eff
forts to be useful
His errands were run with lightning
speed, and his docility was most re-
freshing. He even refused to take a
whole dinner hour, saying that half
was plenty, and when it came the hour
for closing the store he seemed truly
sorry to be obliged to go home.
The next morning he was around
waiting outside for the store to be
open, in his eagerness to be early and
useful.
For about a week the little model oi
virtue set us all an example of prompt
ness and industry and goodness.
His face shone with delight when
anything-the harder the better-was
given and his alacrity and swiftness in
doing errands was rather more than
we wanted
He was always anticipating ouI
wishes, and his overwhelming polite
ness and respect won the hardest heart

Instead of promptly needing the di-
rections and requests of those over hi n
as at first he seemed TO become afflicted
with most convenient difficulty of
hearing.
Not till after the questions or com
mands were repeated more than once
did he deign to notice them, and then
in the slowest and most provoking man
ner possible did he reply.
His object, slsillfully hidden under ar
assumed inability to hear or understand
was to have his own way and take his
own time and, after few wrestles, he
succeeded in making us tired and be-

before long, in place o. his being afraid
of those above him, they grew afraid OF
him and treated the little terror with
much consideration.
OF course, he knew their fear, and
was merciless in taking advantage of it.
No matter how he was snubbed and
sat down on, his free and awfully easy
manners increased day by day.
He whistled all the tunes ever in
vented-all the louder if he was asked
to please keep quiet. And when he
wasn't whistling he hummed the music
which was harder to bear, for his selec

ears were accustomed to-

ly, and sometimes too heartily, at our
jokes.
Instead of waiting TO be spoken to
before answering, he began to make
remarks himself and mix in our CONVEX
sation, and soon the whole dinner hour
became not longer than he thought
necessary.
Still we loved him, for he was yet
quite polite and agreeable.
AT the end of month, however, he
commenced to expand and assume airs
of self-importance which were un-
called for, to say the least
He no more called us Mr.. Jones or
Mr.. Smith-odr first names were easier

''old pen-wiper," the cashier was "old
nickel-in-the-slot," and the junior part
ner was gh-cock-a-lorum"
The odor of cigarettes began to be
painfully apparent in his vicinity and
soon he would coolly light one and puff
it with composure on his way out of
the store at closing time.
He used to run on errands and jump
when spoken to.
Now in the mornings, always little
late, he Ieisurely sauntered in and his
first duty was to stick his feet up ON
his desk and read the newspapers.
