n the ordinary French tame rabbit cleo
Eflcally treated. The process involves Il

Arable stiff hairs that might have been

only from one source, II dark lantern.
The man holding the lantern stood in t.

the hall-another burglar. He had
thrown the beam into the hall mt the foot
of the stairs. l knew it would come up Il
moment later. l set my bag down by me
on the floor and my hat beside it, and
when it did come appeared in the light
the man of the house standing there wait

WHAT BILL NYE SAID.
Advice to II Man About Writing Up His
Town

a little over year ago had banker
ing desire TO write comic history of my
native town, and one inspiring evening |
wrote Il letter to the late William Nye,
requesting little encouragement. Here
Is Mr.. Nye's encouragement:
My Dear Sir-You are another of sey.
eral million who have tried to inveigle me
into writing to you in the hope that you
will get my autograph to display in the
store windows rs II holiday attriction,
and, knowing only too well that my name
in any store window is II sure guaranty
that the proprietor will be in IL position
to dodge his creditors and the poor house.
| take great pleasure in being of some
benefit to the town where you, no doubt
are trying to induce the public to appoint
you to the lucrative position of especial
officer without pay" The idea you sug-
gest of writing up your town in Il hu.nor-
Gus sense is II good one-if you can run
faster than the other fellow. But | will
give you little kindly advice and send
your wife and family IL tew flowers to lay
on your casket, if the other fellow runs
faster than you.
First, begin to make fun yourself, and
then gradually make fun of every one
else. 1t is risk, but if you are young
and good sprinter, the comic history of
your city will be handed down to poster
ity. The secret of writing up any town
is contained in the number of lies YOU can
work off on your neighbors and enemies
Give your conscience to some needy per-
son or politician and then pitch in and let
the Town do the rest, and they will lose
no time in doing it. Hoping
that your fellow citizens will allow YOU
to remain unmolestcd in your city, and
that you will be brave and bold to the
bitter end, remain, with fears for your
future welfare,

Academic discussion OF the Monroe

with their essays. but it is not important
in connection with the case of Venezuela.

of the United States be given to trans

long to South American republic, and,
in this case, as it happens, to republic
