A Bard of Boy Brieands.
An amusing instance of the contagion of
example has recently been afforded by a case
in the Berlin Police Court reports, says the
Pail Mall Budget. Tho outrage on the
Turkish hallway and the stories of brigands
which have lately, filled our newspapers
seem to have acted on the Imagination of
two boys named Oscar Scheffner and George
May. They determined to become bandits,
and they prevailed on several Of their school
fellows to join them. The average age Of
the band was thirteen. They inaugurated
truant. and then they took refuge in the
wilds Of the Grunewald, where, in true brig
and fashion, they hid themselves.
Alter night passed In this fashion they
felt the paDgs OF hunger, and consequently
they sailed forth at an early hour and seized
which had been left at the doors OF the
neighboring villas. This, however, they
thought was scarcely heroic. and their next
step was to garrote an old gentleman who
taking morning stroll in the park. Some
how or other the Berlin police got wind Of
the affair and the juvenile bandits were
seized. They are now languishing in grew
administered at intervals, it Is hoped that
they may be made aware of the historic fact
that in Northern Europe brigandage Is an
anachronism.

OUR BOYS.



There has been great rejoicing in the
house where belong to-day. A little boy
lives in the house, and he says that he owns
me, though why he does l don't know, un-
less because he found me one day when I
had crawled out from under the sidewalk.
l was just going to make myself comfortable
in the sunshine when lot of boys came
along. One Of them spied me, and bounced
on me right away He tried to hold me down
to the ground so that l could not crawl
away, and he put his knee on my shell, and
pressed so hard that expected to hear my
she'll crack.
But another boy knew better how to man
age me then the first boy did. He took
hold of my SHE'LL, and picked me right up,
me because he said he saw me first, and the
second boy bought me for top and a knife
with a broken blade. Then this second boy
carried me home and but me in the back
yard.
That is where 1 have been living ever
since. He did not think so, though. One
day he could not find me and he cried be-
cause he thought had run away. But l had
not. had only made little place for my
ssi 10 she ground n corner OF the yard
ter as my folks Always do. heard the little
boy when he began to cry because he had lost
me, and had great mind to come out and
tell him was not lost; bnt was too sleepy
to stir, and | did not make my appearance
again until to-day.
The little boy was greatly surprised when
appeared, and almost all the family have
been out to see me. l feel quite proud be-
cause they were SO glad to see me.
Almost all who have been to see me to-day
have said, What nice mud-turtle he isl"
But am not turtle; am a tortoise. If 1

sleep over winter, but should have been off

head and feet inside my shell as can now,
and as true toltoises can. Not all of us can
draw our feet and head in so far as to shut
our upper and lower shells together though,
the way the Box Tortoise does. He is per-
fectly protected by his she'll. But most per
sons do not care to remember the difference
between turtle and a tortoise, and expect
some folks will go on calling me mud-turtIe
as long as they live.
But think that if wise men can spend
great deal of time studying us and learning
our habits, common folks might at least learn
our right names.
Why, heard once of very learned friend
of ours. a man named AgassiZ, who had a
whole garden full Of turtles and tortoises
near the city OF Boston, and he used to walk
among these animals every day, and feed
them, and study their likes and disfikes, and
aid write about them. / should like to have
been one Of those tort0ises, for am sure /
should have been treated well by such an
owner. have always noticed that the wiser
person is, the kinder he is toward animals.

Mr.. Greene was in turn startled. He
took the letter from his wife and looked
at the postmark again. True enough, it
was posted on the I'd inst.-the day he left
for London. 1t must be one of the let
tiers which he gave the porter to post at
Rottenboro station.
Show it got posted at Rottenboro I
don't know" said Mrs. Greene. CALI
know is that l gave it to you to post
about week ago."
81 forgot to post those letters" fall
tered Mr.. Greene, until found them in
my pocket when was going to town. I
gave them to porter at Rottenboro sta
ton TO post for me-" AS he said this,
Mr.. Greene felt very like fool, and also
very mad at himself for being one.
"Ah," calculated Miss Briar contemp-
tuously, you are always trying to screen
your wife. You should be ashamed of
yourself"
Look here, Rose Briary" cried Mr..
Greene, delighted to find some one to
vent his vexation on, "you have been the
curse of my life since 1 married, and
intend to have no more of you. But for
your snakelike interference and insidious
meddling all this folly would not have
happened. Leave me-leave us-and
never let us see your face again"
Turning to his wife, Mr.. Greene said
in broken voice, "Can you forgive me,
Maggie9"
II can forgive anything" was the re-
ply, "now she is gone.".
