How the Parrot Slightly Disconnected 4
Burglar.
A maiden lady, who lives alone ex.
cept for her servants, owns fine par.
rot which her nephew brought back
from visit to South America The
bird was sent to professional trainer
to be taught to speak. but when it was
returned it obstinately refused to utter a
word, and its mistress decided that the
teaching had been failure. Polly's
cage hung in dressing-room which
adjoiped it's mistress chamber, and at
night the door between the two rooms
was left open.
One night q burglar got into the
house, and after packing up the silver
below stairs, crept stealthily up to the
chamber of the lady, where he pro-
ceeded to gather together her jewelry.
He had got most of her valuables into
handbag without awakening her,
when suddenly an unearthly voice
from the next room called out loud
enough to arouse the seven sleepers:
God bless our home! God bless our
home!"
The burglar was SO startled that he
dropped his dark lantern, and then, in
trying to recover, stun bIed over chair
and pitched headlong to the floor. The
lady, suddenly awakened, screamed at
the top of her voice, and the thief, now
thoroughly demoralized, took flying
leap for the stairway outside the door
of the chamber. lie slipped, fell and
broke his leg, SO that he was easily
by the butler and coachman,
who had come to the rescue of their
mistress.
ALI this time the parrot had continued
to cry at the top of its lungs:
God bless our home! God bless our
home"
Polly evidently felt that the time for
talking had come, and under the cir
her mistress could not well
get out of patience with her, although
she screamed this one sentence for the
rest of the night Having begun to
talk, indeed, she continued 10 chatter
for the rest of her life, and was looked
upon as remarkably accomplished

day when farmer came in to make a
purchase He bought some calico. and
when the clerk placed the five-dollar
bill the farmer gave him in the cash
ball and sent it spinning toward the
cashiers desk a funny sight was wit
messed Our rural friend evidently
thought that was the last he would
ever see of his bill unless he moved
lively, which he did, keeping his eyes
fixed on the ball He collided with an
old lady, fell over one of the seats, re-
gained his feet and kept right on until
he arrived at the cashiers desk. BY

RAnHAEL's PLACE IN ART.

What tho Painter OF ",hc Anxelusr
Thought Of Him.
To realize fully his power of design
we must study the drawings he made
for his pictures. In the academical
qualities of drawing he has never had
an equal, and the fertility and rapidity
of his inventions are shown by the
enormous number of works he has left.
These gifts make him the great master
for serious students of painting in its
larger field--that of expression of the
artists thought--and have heard the
greatest of modern idealists, Jean Fran
co.'s Millet, talk by the hour with the
highest enthusiasm on portfolio of the
Raphael drawings as the ne plus ultra
of design in its best sense. For the
modern typeof painter. the man who
regards his function TO be that of a
mirror to nature, or who considers
nature his mistress rather than his pur-
veyor. and his brush-work more import
ant than his conception. Raphael is no
model, and for such he has no lesson.
The tendency.of all modern painting is
more and more to these characteristics,
SO that he who will understand the
ordinate in all his breadth must turn
his back on all the modern schools (if
there be any now which deserves the
name of school), and build his judR-
ments on q standard found in the range
of work from Masaccio to Michelange-
To- BY this standard Raphael must be
given, II not the supreme rank which

The awful hush that holds us shut away from

goes
Recounting ever over every aching loss it
knows
The ever weary eyelids gaspins ever for re-
In the drcary, weary watches Of the night.

With tingling nerves at tension, how the black
ness flashes white
With spectral visitations smitten past the in

And hands that we let fall. with all their 10y

DO we dream and dare beiiere 1t, that by never

OF our own poor weak dessrvings we shall
win the dawn at last
Our furnished souls find freedom from this
penance for the past,
In faith that leaps and lightens from the
gloom that fees aghast-
Shall we survive the watches Of the night!
One leads US through the watches OF the night
BY the careless intercession Of our loved ones

He is with us through all trials; in His mercy
and His might;
With our mothers there about Him. all our

Till the silence Of our sobbing is the prayer

And His hand is laid upon us with the tender

Now Laura was able to measure q
mans depth pretty well; and while
Sam was not brilliant, she knew that
he had some ability, but he could not
make the opportunity for himself to
display it. So, womanlike. she deter
mined to make it for him.
Somehow it began to be whispered
about that there was more in Sam Col.
vim than men thought. He was con.
sentative and careful. See how he
had managed that Jones-Jackson es-
tate. He was getting on in corporation
law. The air line road had retained
him to defend it's trespass suits. Ned
Winfield had asked Sam to join him in
prosecuting the ballot sheet forgery
cases.
Laura, who could at that time call
any man she chose to her side, began
to show a marked preference for Sam.
She listened deferentially to his ac-
counts of his-work and of his growing
prosperity; let him explain knotty law
points to her during an evenings tets-a.
tete; and when he asked her, awkward
ly and diffidently enough, to marry
him, she consented very prettily, and
made Sam think he was favored of the
gods.
And this is why her friends say:
poor Laura Colvin." For, from
purely worldly point view, Sam is the
least of the many men who have
thrown themselves at her feet He is
a Flooding lawyer. He will never be
great or rich or famous. He is little
dull socially, but he is devoted hus-
band. He believes that Laura is the
most brilliant and accomplished woman
of their set, that all other men
envy him his good fortune, and that he
is lucky dog las indeed he is) to have
won her. Earth holds no greater
heaven for him than to sit in the twi.
light and listen to the music of her
voice as she sings for him, alone; and
in this Laura never stints him.
For Sam, Laura possesses attributes
that far overshadow all defects, and
she knows this, and so feels safe But if
she had marri ed Ned Winfeld-he is
governor of the state now-would she
have been so secure?
Now, you see why claim first place
for her as a woman of discernment.
You strike the balance between her
self and Sam any day, on all the counts,
and it still stands in her favor. With
another, it might not have been so.
But there is bunch of old letters
that Sam never sees; and there is one
song that she never sings for him-she
sang it with Ned once-and there is
sometimes a lingering thought that,
possibly, it might have been.

The business they follow, too. is about

at very slight shock. or at a contact
with fire, and in the oil country man
who handles glycerine is looked upon
as an unfortunate being with one foot

one that if he sticks to the business long
enough he will be blown up.
A nitro-glycerine headache is caused
by the smell of the nitric and snlphuric
acids which are used in making the ex-
plosive. Sweet glycerine oil, as every
one knows, is a very harmless liquid,
but when subjected to the action of the
two acids named. the resulting milk

agent known. Men who make nitro
glycerine are at first subjected to these
terrible headaches, but after a few DAYS
