Stealing q Redhot stove.

THE incident often illustrated in
plays Of a nan carrying off a redhot
stove has no basic truth said Halman
Carmody. Still the idea seems so pre-
posterous that people never fail TO laugh
at the incident when placed before them
on the stage. The nearest theft that l
ever knew to parallel it occurred net so
many years ago when an habitual Grim
inal in New York city was given six
months in the penitentiary for stealing a
timers stove. The evidence proved that
the criminal had a record which included
everything from the theft of a paper of
pins and a wagon wheel down to a water
gauge of a steam engine and the stove
in question.
The timers stove was shown in court.
1t was a very old fashioned, large and
ungainly looking affair, which one might
imagine would be the last thing that
would attract the attention of even a
chronic burglar. The top was cylindrical
and perfectly open for the purpose Of
draft. To this top was attached the
handle. Now, the stove had a good fire
in it and had been set out on the pave
meat to obtain extra flame. The thief
must have found it a very hot object to
handle, and yet he ran with it a dozen
blocks before he was caught and arrest

Daisy Miller's Little Brother.

The willful little brother of Daisy
Miller is no less true a type than his old
er and more famous sister. One has but
to watch our chi1dren's manners with a
very little attention to discover this. It
will be noticed. too, that those little ones
whose parents are wealthy enough to
leave them in the hands of trained serv-
ants have, at least on the surface, the
best name united to the most docility.
This seems to be largely because the serv-
ants exact a certain sort of subjugation
from them as well as a ready obedience
to what commands they themselves may
be allowed to give. The average parent.
on the contrary, has no apparent idea Of
enforcing his desires. Listen to the
