A BURGLAR DEMORALIZER.
How 1t Worked, and why the Inventor
Didn't Get 1t Patented.

Didn't Get 1t Patented.
81 once invented" said man who
lived in the suburbs, "a burglar de-
moralizer that was very effective in its
way, but never got it patented be-
cause didn't think ought to. 1t was
very simple continuance; it consisted
merely of stout wire stretched across
the floor at such distance from the
door and windows thatuanyone enter
ing would getounder Roadway before
reaching it, and low enough so that he
would fall over it. There had been
number of burglaries in our town and
so l fitted up the lower floor of our
house with the demoralizer; we adjust
ed the wires the last thing at night
when we were looking up.
Zone night, about three nights, /
think it was, after we had set them up,
we heard noise at the back door, and
we knew that somebody was coming.
We gathered around the head of the
back stairs and listened. The burglar
got in without much trouble and closed
the door softly behind him, and then
for moment everything was very still.
Then there was great thud that fairly
shook the house, then another moment
of stiffness, and then the suppressed
but steady sound of a human voice; it
was the burglar sitting on >he kitchen
floor and cussin'.
after awhile we moved around a
little upstairs to let him know we were
on deck, and he got up and went away.
He didn't take anything, but Mrs Sub
urb said she had rather he had taken
everything there was in the house than
to hear him swear so, and that is why
/ never got the demoralizer patented.
1t was effective, but it would have
seemed like offering premium on pro-
family. IN. Y. Sun.

1t has hitherto been the law in Japan
that is woman was not married by a
certain age the authorities picked out
a man and compelled him to marry
her. The mikado has just abandoned
this usage. In future japanese women
will be allowed to live and die maids,
as in European countries.

Bake the squash in the shell; when
done, remove with spoon and mash

eight tablespoonfuls of the squash,
half a cup of sugar and one and one
third cups of boiling milk. Pour the
milk slowly over the squash, beating
rapidly meanwhile, to make the mix
ture light. Bake in one crust.
