 Kleptomaniacs Who Are Welcome ln Hub
 Stores.
 What do you do with kleptomani- acs?" was the question recently put to the proprietor of large shop.
 "We send them bills for what they take when we know them. If they are strangers, we act according to circum- stances.
 "A few days ago lady was in the shop with her daughter-a beautiful little girl of twelve years.
 'The girl was seen slipping roll of costly ribbon into her satchel. We spoke to the mother, who became in- dignant.
 ''She opened the satchel to convince us that we were mistaken, when it was found to contain three lace handler- chiefs, two pairs of gloves and the rib bon.
 Well, we took the things back and said nothing. We can't afford to in jure our trade by making enemies among our rich customers"
 You were speaking of sending out bills for stolen goods" asked a writer for the Boston Globe; ''are they ever paid?"
 Always, where the person is klep- tomaniac. I have known of shops which kept a regular list of kleptomani- acs. Whenever they lost anything they sent bills to all of them. As they all settled for the stolen goods, you can imagine that the business was profit able one, can't you?"

DIXON GETS FIFTY DAYS.
The Colored lntimidator Sentenced
 Yesterday.

Wm. Dixon, the colored person whose case has been pending in police court, was sentenced to fifty days in the city jail yesterday. The weight of the sentence was made somewhat heavier on account of Dixon's back talk to the officers who arrested him. He threatened to run one of them out of town and to break the neck of the other.
 They had, however, been compelled to shoot at him to attract his attention as he was running away. On this &C., count another colored friend, who be- lieved his race had been outraged, !, threatened to make trouble for the of ficers. The complainant has been en- toying job with railroad company. The officers retaliated so effectively that he IS hunting for another.

on MIR. French, who, while performin
private dooty, is also workin for pub
lie good, I've headed a subscription
with $50 for a present for the bride. I'd
say in closin that if was Mr.. French ]
wouldn't care to object to this weddin.
The gal is good lookin, the subscription
is cash, an in the present heated condi-
ton Of the public mind, an with the
heart of the camp set on this union,
wouldn't be responsible if he does.
Now, gents, who'll follow my $50 with
$50 more? Barkeep, doyour dooty while
the subscription paper goes round.
''The biddin was mighty lively, an
in ten minutes 81, 700 is raised for a
dowry, as they say. Then French, who
has been settin in a sort of daze, gets
up.
&c Mr. Enright an gents he says,
this yere is surprise party to me,
but it goes. It's a hoss Oh me, but /
stands it. 1 sees how it is, an as a forced
play marries Benson Anna in the in
terests of peace. Which the same being
settled, if Benson Anna is yere, whirl
her out, an I'll come futterin from my
perch an put an end to this onhealthful
excitement.
''We applauds French an is proud to
see he's game
An, to be free all open with you,
French, says Jack Moore-so as to
make him feel like he's ahead on the
deal, which he shore is, for this yere
Benson Anna is corn fed-'if it wasn't
for lady back in Illinois who relies on
me returnin single, I'd be playin your
hand myself.
''Well, no one delays the game. En-
right brings over Benson Anna, who's
blushin some, but amt holdin back,
an she an French fronts up for business
This yere preacher sharp Enright's
roped up is jist shuf1in for the deal,
when whatever do you think takes
place? I'm Mexican if this yere Sue
doesn't come stampedin in, a-cryin an
a-mournin powerful Sue allows with
sobs if her dear friend Annals goin to
get married she wants in on the game
as bridesmaid.
Which you shorely gets a hand as
sech,' says Doc Peets, who's actin as
lookout for the game, an SO he stakes
out Sue over by the side of Benson
Anna, who kisses her quite frantic an
unites her walls to Sues. Both of 'em
weepin at wonst shorely makes the oc-
casion mighty sympathetic an damp
that away. But Peets says it's the
reg lar caper, an you can gamble Peets
knows
THAR, says Enright, when the last
cards out an Mr. an Mrs French is re-
ceivin congratulations, I reckon now,
with only one laundry, Wolfville sees q
season OF profound peace. This is all
right, but I'm yere to remark that the
next lady as dazzles this camp with her
debut an purpose to plunge into work
is goin to teach school or keep books.
Gents, the bridle's plumb off the hoss.
Well repair to the dance hall, if so be

TO EMT OR S.

If you have made an invention you want
patent. And you want good one. There are
various kinds of patents. Some of them are
not worth keeping around the house. They
don't protect. 1t is as unsafe to trust to them
as to a lightning rod without a ground con-
nection. That is the kind an inventor is like
ly to get when he draws up his own specit1ca-
tionS. or trusts the work to an irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.

RATES OF ADVERTISING,


There can lie i; 10 d. -sat that tho OK
was the earliest beast employed for the
piow. A white bull and a white COW
wero yoked together to draw the furrow
for making the walls OF Rome. Greeks
and Romans employed oxen in plowing;
asses only for sandy soils. When the
plowman had finished his days labor, 4
he turned the instrument upside dov n,
and the oxen went home dragging it's |
tail and handle over the surface of the
ground--a scene described by Horace. !
The yoking together OF OK and ass
was expressly forbidden by the law of
Moses and is made the ground of a
ludicrous comparison by Plautus Ulys-
ses, when he feigned madness in order
to oavoid going on the Trojan expedition,
plowed with an OK and horse together.
In the west of England the custom of
yoking oxen to the pillow went out at
the beginning of this century. A very
few old men can remember how, as
boys, they were employed with the goad
to urge on the oxen. Hardly any recall
having held the plow to them. Cham

Ji1ting and How to Do 1t.

1t is practically admitted, even by
matrons of no particular charm, that,
although girl behaves very badly
when she jilts man, she behaves bet
ter than if, longing to jilt him, she ab-
stained from exercising her privilege
This, to be sure, is exactly one of the
concessions which good natured man
makes to the frailty of the fair, and it
is certain to irritate earnest womankind
very much. I cannot help it-men do
tolerate lady jilt. They say, "Poor
little soalri We never read that any
girl was niraculously struck down dead
in the act of jilting.
I have heard Of lady who, III an un-
guarded moment. accepted a devout
evangelical clergyman. He bade her
kneel down with him and implored a
blessing on their union, and as he did
SO she was occupied in thinking how
she was to get out of it. Surely we
cannot blame her for getting out of it.
Indeed the blame attaches to those who
get into it.-Andrew Lang in Long

Joke on His Head.

There is man il the treasury de-
partment who has it in for somebody.
He doesn't know who, but he will find
out in time.
He had not many friends in the office.
He was too mercenary to be popular, SO
when he appeared one morning with a
new silk hat they made up their minds
he shouldn't enjoy it long.
As soon as chance offered the leader
Of the conspirators neatly folded a piece
Of paper and laid it ia he inside band
of the hat Of course it was uunoticed
by the wearer. Next day he put IN an
other, and next day another. Once it
was noticed when he put the hat on he
took it off, glanced anxiously inside to
make sure it was his hat, then fitted it
on his head rs best he could.
Toward tho end Of the week, when a
fresh paper had been added each day,
he began to talk about how peculiar it
was that the hat had grown more un-
comfortable each day, until he felt as
though he didn't want TO appear in it.
Then he became alarmed and thought
he had some disease of the head Then
he confded to fellow clerk that he was
going TO consult physician that day.
His friend took the beaver in his hand
tried it on his head. "That's a good
fit. What'll you take for it?'' The an
swor came quickly, ''Two dollars u
''Here's your $2," and the clerk
closed the transaction by paying up and
taking the beaver. The other sought the
doctor, who prescribed for him, charged
him So and told him to come again.
The man has been making regular visits
for the benefit of his head. Saturday he
found out the joke and at the same
time discovered the trouble with his
head. He had heels. The other man
has the beaver. er.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Fish Story voucaea Tor by ao.ooo.


''The most remarkable thing 1 ever
saw done by fish," said Will Mussey,
''did not happen on any faraway lake,
but right here in Chicago 1t was dur
ing the railroad exposition, held many
years ago III the old Interstate Exposi-
ton building, ON the lake front. Many
of the railway companies had fine ex-
hibits Of fish, taken from lakes and
streams on the lines of their respective
roads. A Wisconsin road had a splendid
exhibit Of black bass and graylings, and
the large tank containing them was al
ways surrounded by crowds of fisher
men.
81 was standing there one afternoon
watching huge bass and wishing had
him at the end of good line in some
good water when l noticed a grayling
which seemed disposed to be gay He
circled around the big bass a couple of
times and then nipped him. He was
probably just in fun, but I could see
that the bass did not like it. The big
fellow had been asleep, and perhaps he
awoke with bad taste in his mouth.
LILO IudoC LII uOVC toWdAu tAC 11lky
which became emboldened at this, and
after lowering around the black fellow
for a moment made another dive at
him. Like flash the bass turned to one
side and with a snap grabbed the gray
ling by the hack fin.
''His eyes shone with rage. He was
the personification of anger and ferocity.
There was swirl of water, and when
it was over the grayling was quivering
in his death agonies The bass drew
back few feet and opened his jaws.
Never until then did I realize the posi-
bilities of the jaws of black bass. He
seemed all mouth, and he made run
ming jump at the grayling and caught
him head first. Now the grayling, while
not so heavy as the bass, was fully as
long I did not think that the bass was
going to attempt to swallow the gray
ling.
''It would be like my trying to swal-
low Jake Schaefer But that is what he
did, and, what is more, he succeeded
He worked him down slowly, lying
quietly in one corner of the tank, while
thousands vainly tried to get near He
started this banquet at 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon. At 10 o'clock at night the
grayling was half way down. There
was but little change the next morning,
and it was four days before that bass
could close his jaws over the tail of that
grayling. There are 10000 people in
Chicago who can vouch for every word
of this. Chicago Times-Herald.

THE LAUNCHING OF THE SHIPS.

Four little ships set out to sea
This morning early, brave and gay.
They only reached the nearest tree,
Then cast their anchor for the day.
Two anxious friends with practiced sails
Fly back and forth across the main,
But all their good example fails
To start the little fleet again.
It looked so easy from the nest
To leave the harbor far behind,
And there was hardly room to rest
Nor food to satisfy their kind.
But now-well, it seems very nice
For little boats to Lug the shore
And listen to the good advice
OF robins who have sailed before.

The English "a"
Americans who affect the SO called
English pronunciation of the letter "a"
in words like task, ""pass'' and last
are SO much inclined, especially in Bos-
ton, to oyerdo the matter that it is well
to reprint the testimony of a Baltimore
traveller who took pains while in Eng
land recently to observe critically the
usage of cultivated speakers there on
this point He found in effect that their
"a'' was g cross between the "a'' of
"ah" and the "a" of cat" ?" He listened
carefully to the orthoepy of Lord Chief
Justice Russell, Lord Rosebery and Lord
Salisbury and to that of the eminent
churchmen. and found that nowhere
"was there any such broad and deep
pronunciation of words, and especially
the letter "a, as we generally consider
to be the English method. % Their pro-
nunciation was almost identical with
that of good speakers in Baltimore and
New York.-Exchange.
