The C0nundrum.

An original conu1drum was published In
these columns last week we now give the
correst answer as handed US by the one who
propounded it.
"Why is Thurmont like HeavenF' An
swer: because there is no marrying or civ.
ing in marriage"
The writer also asks "who will send the
next original conundrum.
Complying with our request that our
readers attempt a solution and give US their
answer, we give the following:
In answer to your conundrum in last
issue, why is Thurmont like Heavenf -if
you mean the old fashioned heaven, with its
golden streets and lazy, useless angels, doing
nothing through all eternity but drumming
on their harps-the answer probably is, be-
cause it lacks enterprise" The writer ex-
presses some personal views, which being
wholly irrelevant, the conundrum only con.
sidered, we decline to publish that portion of
the answer.
We append second answer: because
1t IS place of invisible spirits" A foot note
explains the answer thus: by Thurmont
Spirits we mean the secrecy caused by Local
Option"
A third one says Because an elephant
can't climb tree" The point somewhat
obscure.
From one of the brethren OF the press, the
Carroll Record, we take the following THE
CLARION wants to know why Thurmont is
like heavena Like the other fellow, we give
it up. There is a brilliant and beautiful
CASTLE there, but the greatest stretch of
Imagination can not constitute that alone to
be sufficient attraction for our Heavenly
home"
Still another one told US their idea of
good answer, viz: because it is full OF old
maids and babies"
One suggests Because all who get there
either are not able, or do not want 10 get
away"
And still another because the roads and
alleys that lead thereto are so hard to travel"
The above gives evidence that 1t is only
necessary that some one not connected with
THE CLARION should contribute something
to its columns in order to enlist interest
therein and we sincerely trust that the author
of the query, and others, may be induced to
avail themselves of our columns to multiply
their interest as the above attempt has clearly
DONE You have it within your grasp to
render your home paper continually interest.

other one person can do.

of papas, mammas, big sisters and school
mates. The curtains were showed back" on
an audience of about sixty. The charming
little play" Wonderland" was very creditably
performed, but historical charade in one
act was the chit" that drought down the
house." When the youthful Gesler in a red
shawl and with tin foil sceptre ord cred,
Bring forth the prisoner" smiles broke
forth into filters, and when the cabbage fell
from young Tells head before father Tell
could shoot it with toy pistol, such laugh
ter awoke the dim corners Of the Office as
has not been heard before OF since the re.
moval of THE CLARION to other quarters.
The magic lantern behaved beautifully.
For originality and enterprise, the occasion
was exceedingly c,edtable for juveniles of
eight and twelve.

TWO PROVIDERS ARRESTED
Ex-ConVictS Found on the
Streets in the Early
Morning.
Precautions Taken by the Police
in View Of the Recent Bur-
glarieS.

Owing to recent burglaries in the West
ern Addition and the Mission policemen
have been more than usually vigilant,
having received orders to arrest all
suspicious characters found on the streets
after all good citizens have retired to rest
for the night.
Early Tuesday morning two houses on
Fair Oaks street were entered and shortly
afterward Policeman Murphy saw man
proving around the corner of Twenty-frst
and Fair Oaks streets. The man as soon as
he saw the officer took to his heels, but
Murphy quickly overlook him. He proved
to be young man named Robinson, who
has served sentence for larceny. When
searched nothing discriminating was found
upon him, but as he could not give salts
factory account of his presence at such an
unseemly hour he was locked up in the
City Prison.
About o'clock yesterday morning
Policemen Heaphy and Keegan saw an
ex-convict named Davis on the corner of
Twenty-sixth and Fair Oaks streets. AS
they approached him he started off on a
run down Twenty sixth street. The
officers pursued him and repeatedly called
upon him TO stop, but he paid no attention
to them. One of them drew his revolver
and fired shot over his head. 1t had an
instantaneous effect upon Davis and he
came to dead stop.
The officers searched him, but found no
burglars tools or plumber on him. He
told a ram bling story about being on the
street at that hour in the morning, but it
had no effect upon the officers and he was
sent to the City Prison.
Robinson and Davis will be detained
pending inquiries as to what they have
been doing. Meantime they will be shown
to the watches at the different police
stations so that if nothing is found
against them and they are released from
custody the policemen will know them
again.
Two other ex-convicts who were arrested
at an early hour Sunday morning in the
Western Addition were shown to the diff
ferent watches on Monday.
