WATERLOO

Everybody in the country here
are complaining of hard times. In
the country there is no employment
for anyone. Farmers do not i'm
prove their farms, because first,
money is not at their command, and
second, the products of the farm do
not pay for raising and shipping
expenses.

HANDLING BURGLARS.

Some Suggestions In the Gentle Art-Ad-
vantages of the Editha Method.
a good way to handle a burglar
is the Editha method, as outlined
in the little one act play which had
so much vogue here n few years ago,
having been dramatized from Mrs.
Burnett's story. All you have to do
is to keep 9-year-old girl in the
house. Sho must have golden hair
and appear to the burglar in her
nightdress, saying to him in reas-
surfing tones: Don't be afraid.
won't hurt YOU" Then he will say,
well, I'll be doggoned, and will
enter into conversation with the
child, the result being that he will
find her to be his own daughter
whom he has deserted years ago.
On an easel will be picture of his
wife whom he left, and then his
heart will be softened. He will leave
the little girl a knife and fork and
a spoon and will leave without dis
turbing you, carrying away nothing
but 81, 600 in silver, several hundred
dollars worth of jewelry and grand
piano. merely as n memento of how
his better nature came to the front
and made man of him.
OF course if you have no 9-year-
old eX-child of the burglar in the
house you will have to resort to 9TH
er methods, but the above is the
gentlest can think of. If you wake
up suddenly with the flash of q
bullseye lantern in your face and
feel the cold muzzle of q revolver at
your temple while a hoarse voice
says, Make sound, and I'll blow
your brains out, =" a good thing to do
is to clap the burglar on the back
and say; go ahead, old man. My
wife says haven't brains enough
to last overnight, and 1 would like
to show her that she is wrong"
That will discomfort him for a mo-
ment, and you can then take him
down stairs and set out good sup
per for him. Then show him where
everything is, help him pack it up,
and you will be all right.
Some men keep a pistol in the
house for the purpose of shooting
burglars, but the burglars usually
take the pistol first. Then a man
has only his fists. Now, if 1 should
wake up some night and see bur-
glar in the house 1 know that
should burst into peals of laughter,
for it would be good joke The
burglar might not see the point at
first, but he would later and would
realize that the laugh was on him.
But if by chance there should be
anything in the house worth taking
and 1 should see two masked men
bending over my couch 1 would
merely knock their heads together
until they were insensible, then tie
them together into double knots and
drop them down the elevator shaft.
That is what most men would do
when Weakened from sound sleep
in the dead of night, and 1 may say
that my language is merely sym.
bolic of crawling under the bed
clothes and making myself as small
as possible until my visitors had
gone. Boston Home Journal.
