intended perhaps, for our preserva-
tion, that little evils, coming home
to ourselves, should affect us more
than great evils. at distance, hap-

perhaps there is no man who would
lose little finger to save China.

George II. HOuren of Bennington,
called on Chief Detective Markham at
police headquarters, yesterday afternoon
and reported that William j. Bennett,
who had been boarder at his house,
had robbed him of a valuable ladies'
gold watch and chain and So in money.
Bennett, who is a carpenter, found the
money in dress belonging to Mr..
Houren's mother. In another dress
hanging alongside was 5000 in money
which escaped the notice of Bennett.
The chief visited the various pawn shops
and in one of them found the watch,

rider, and especially a soldier, to want
horse with four white feet. The ia
nous general, Lasalle, who was very su.
perstitious upon this point, never know
ingly mounted such horse. The day
of his death, after several ominous events
which had happened to him that day,
such as broken mirror, a broken pipe,
the picture of his wife broken at the
very moment when he went to look at it
for the last time, he mounted a horse
not his own without glancing at the
feet. The horse had the unlucky signs.
Mounted upon this horse, he was struck
by shot fired at a moment when fight
ing had ceased by a Croat among the
prisoners just taken at the battle of Wag-
ram.
On the other hand, these four white
feet are mark and token Of considera-
ton with the orientals, who do not fail
to mention the fact in the pedigrees of
their horses.-L'Artiste.
