The Retiro1 Rnrrlnr.

"Dear me-" said the retired bur-
glar, 81 don't know when l have seen
anything so unprOfessiOnal."
He was comfortably seated in a
variety theater, says the New York
Sun. The turn then on was per-
formed by two men, good father
and wicked son, 1t appears that
the son had robbed the father and
run away, and he had come back now
to crack the old mans safe for a big
ger stake. When the burglar came
in upon the darkened stage he looked
everywhere, except where it stood,
for the safe, which was in plain view
of the audience; but at last his eye
fell upon it. Then to the amaze
ment of the retired burglar, instead
Of proceeding quickly and quietly to
rob the safe, the stage burglar, hay
ing located it, turned to the foot
lights, and announced that he would
sing a song. He had an excellent
voice, but his singing disturbed the
retired burglar greatly.
"D!eadfull dreadfulm he said.
"Think of the time he's wasting, to
say nothing Of the danger of waking
up everybody in the house, Look a.
that! There's the cd man now"
So it was. He came in at the rear
of the stage just as the son, who had
finished his song, had begun on the
safe. There was grapple, and a
grand 'rastIe. The old man came
out on top A reconciliation follow
ed. Now here was an instance where
stopping to sing song had been at
tended by the most happy results.
"Can't help it," said the retired
burglar, at wouldn't happen so once
in a million times"

The street of Candles.

We were inL q Gale de las Velas-
the Street Of the Candles. 1t was
the way which all devout ones had
to take on their route to the shrine,
and no one could worship there with
out lighted candle in hand. There
fore there was an enormous business
done in candles, which, to meet the
regulations Of the church, had to be
Of pure beeswax. The street was
lined with booths for the sale of
these which were displayed in amaz-
ing quantities and in a variety Of
handsome shapes and attractive col
Ors. Probably the idea was that the
more elaborate and costly candle
the devotee held in his hand before
the altar, the greater the efficacy Of
the ceremony for himself. The rev.
enue from the sale of the candles was
a prerogative Of the Gu a-the parish
priest-whose position was so snug
and comfortable as to make him the
envy of all his colleagues in that part
of Mexico The income from various
sources during the feria was 50
great as to assure the tura a very
handsome personal return, as we'll as
to maintain the church in flrst-class
condition. / was informed that an
other priest had offered his brother
Of Tepalcingo $4,000 year for his
position, but the proposition was not
entertained for an instant. These
candles were not only paid for at
goodly prices, but it was the rule
that they must be left in the church
at the end Of the ceremony. The
cura, therefore, got the greater part
of the wax back again, to be made
over into fresh candles, for the cere-
monies, very likely, with regard to
the due economy of wax, were made
conveniently short.

A Tin TO the THIEF.
ways.

The smallest Incident, which, to
most people, seems too insignificant
to notice, has often caused the cap
ture of a criminal or the detection of
plot All things are important to
certain people. A man tried his door
the other day to see whether it was
locked, and caused crime.
He and his wife were preparing to
90 to the theater. There was no.
body else in the house, His wife
glanced out of the window and say a
man standing in the shadow Of tree
across the street. She thought moth
ing of it at the time. AS they were
leaving the house the husband clicked
the latch Of the door, as usual. AS
they walked up the woman's eye
again fell upon the motionless form
in the shadow Of the tree.
She became suspicious
"Did you lock the door when you
came out?" she asked Of her husband.
81 suppose so. l always do" he
said,
Hadn't you better make sure,
dear?"
ooh, 1 am sure. It's all right"
"But won't you 60 back and see?
I'm afraid you didn't, and I'd like to
be certain about it,"
So he walked back and tried the
door. OF course it was locked, but
his wife's anxiety was relieved.
That simple act cost him a great
deal. The man across the street had
not contemplated robbing that house
before, for he didn't know whether
any person was at home or not.
When the person who lived there
went back to try tie door it satisfied
him that no one was in 1t. He crept
back the alleyway, pried open a rear
window and helped himself to the
contents Of the silver closet And
he wouldn't have done it except for
that trifling, natural incident that
told him so much. - Philadelphia

A Sensitive Point.

The Widow Granger had an inn
portant case in court. She knew that
if she should win her condition there
after would be one of financial ease,
and she had accordingly employed the
most effective lawyer in the county
where she resided. When the case
came to trial the shrewd lawyer saw
that his road to success lay through
the emotions Of the jurymen.
Gentlemen" said he, "look at this
poor woman. Is she not enough to
excite the pity of any beholder? De-
crepitude has not spared her. and age
is fast spreading its blight upon her
once fair face. She"
"You stop right where you are"
exclaimed the widow. II need the
money that might come out of this
case, but I'll be hanged If you shall
stahd up there and call me old"
The lawyer fastened to her and
said:
"Why, madam, I must talk that
way or lose the case"
Il don't care II you do have to talk
that way, you shan't, I'd rather lose
the whole thing than be called old.
l am just as good-looking as | ever
was, and l want you to understand
that fact. Decrepit, indeed! I'll bet
l could gather you up and throw you
