The Nun Used a Six Shooter,

There was great excitement at the
Catholic convent about 3 o'clock this
morning, when three pistol shots, fired
in quick succession within it's walls,
brought the police to the scene. Inves-
tigation disclosed that one of the nuns
had discovered a man scaling the high
wall surrounding the convent, and by
the time the intruder had reached the
sacred building the sister opened fire
upon him with a big six shooter at close
range. The intruder beat a hasty re-
treat.-Laredo Cor. San Antonio Ex-

Colonel Wagstaff, of New York

stopped smoking it as soon as it had
acquired the beautiful chestnut
brown so highly priced by the
smoker. Curiously enough the color
is a very natural M so far as an
