BETRAYED BY PLUM PUDDING.
A Burglar Who Forgot business In Sight
of Ono and Was Caught.

A Burglar Who Forgot business In Sight
of Ono and Was Caught.
Tho English nre proud of their watoh-
dogs, and it Is known that mnnyf farmers
rely upon tho cacklo Of their guinon hons
for tho protection of their hen roosts; but,
in addition to nll that, England has Just
afforded an example of tho safeguarding
qualities Of plum pudding. This %uncxpeot-
cd demonstration took place in o house on
the Portsdown road, in tho Mazda Vale
quarter of London, belonging to MIR. Pros
ton, a surgeon In tho navy.
AT about $3.50 o'clock in tho evening q
burglar got into tho house through tho
cellar by breaking tho lock of tho kitohon
door. This burglar was George Donovan.
He knew that tho house was empty. Tho
family wero ut tho thenter, and tho sery-
ants took advantage of their absence to 40
on n vacation for q few hours. Favored by
these circumstance Donovan had little
trouble In reaching tho dining room.
There an enchanting spectacle was pro-
sented to his Dyes. A Hindoo poet tells us
tho story Of tho brigand OF Delhi who, Mt
tho moment whom lie was about to cut q
hole in tho wall Of u house to get In and
commit n robbery, hesitated whether he
would cut it In the form Of O lyro or of a
flower or of u bird. George Donovan was
not absorbed by any such artistic preocou-
patton. He noticed upon tho table q splen-
did plum pudding, something that he
hadn't tasted for n long time. So ho sat
down i'll front of the national dish, cut q
hugo slice of it, and sailed in. The pud-
ding was delicious. Like Ragglos, Dono-
van struck it rich. He cut slice after slice,
but unfortunately for him u plum pud-
ding is not possessed of the light quality
TINT nlnruc In Ern,ci, ynctrx- Cooo @ho
burglar got thirsty, and in his search for
something to drink ho discovered q bottle
of Scotch whisky, his ~favorite beverage.
He remained at tho table enjoying himself
thoroughly for about an hour. Soon he bo-
cane oblivious OF his professional duties.
In fact, no didn't know where he was; so
ho threw himself on tho luxurious carpet,
and went TO sleep with IN %unruffled con-
science. At about midnight he was found
there, and was reused up by q policeman
who had been called in. He admitted with
out hesitation his object, but he was LOUD
in his praise Of that pudding. Addressing
Surgeon Preston, ho sold he would like to
know if that pudding was mado in tho
house or i'll some confectionery establish
ment, because. he said, he never before
had tasted anything so delicious and no
wanted to taste it again. He was taken be-
TOTO a ponce JUSTICE OF MaryleDOne, who
committed him for trial.
"All right, judge" he said, "but, all
tho same, that was q fine pudding and
first ratio whisky"
Judge Plowden, who is somewhat of n
humorist, made q funny speech, clarifying
tho English plum pudding, which, as he
said, not only Furnishes tho i%mprudent
with indigestion, but also, US this case
plainly showed, protects the tireside and
knocks out burglars .-London Letter.

A Question of ynrniah.

enough, though, while somo buyers de-

tinted, gives the much priced golden

Reproachful Politeness.

serves him i'll good stead to point n rebuke.

cd TO find how great an amount ho had
boon charged.
Ho folt that ho had been plundered, but
no pnid tho bill and then asked to SEQ the
