Housebreaker Attempts to Drop from a
Window with Parachute.
Burglary on scientific principles has
brought James Sanders, Il ticket-of-leavc
man, into great trouble. He was not Il
mere jimmy -and-ladder man, but stu
dent of aerostatics, and found out that
the best way of dropping out of Win
dow was to do it la parachute, for
which purpose when he went a-burgling
he carried large umbrella.
His first experiment on his newly in
vented plan took place on Saturday even
ing in a house in Pinlico. Entry was
effected comfortably and the articles to
be taken away were carefully arranged
in parcel. Suddenly he fancied he
heard noise. He rushed to the win
dow, parachute in hand, saying, "Now
for the scientific departure" but, I'M
fortunately for him, in the hurry of the
moment he forgot to open the umbrella
before leaping, and consequently lost all
the benefit of his scientific skill.

The dun little refugees.

Where the summer elves still laugh
In the heart OF the hrulnal cold.
The JOY Of the kings Of plants

EVERY waif Is pictured dance,
Every feather printed smile,
Let the WOlf-winuS come and 20,
And the giant frost bind strung.
The eNiles under the snow
Are happy all winter long.
Ger million meek little deaths
Steal sounds like the far sea-waves.
MMrmurs of leaf souls, hreaths
From the hush Of wildwood graves.
When the white CLEANS over the brown,
And the wings Of May ghosts sweep
Where the wee green folk lie down.
In bannerless boughs still ycarns
The hope Of the oak aud elm.
When the last years verlure turns
To dust IN It's limbo realm,
Aud stu. in the vods where grew
Their plumes of glory. each one.
Bright as ever to loves sweet view,
Fans away the flush Of the sun.
Every stem that shiveting slept
From the air in its last goodbye
Left Il brave young bud that kept
Its spring life sealed in the sky:
And, the bnrtls of the woodland say,
By night on their native spires
The bonny leaf spirits piNy
Like soft St Elmo fires.

he is bright. energetic young fellow. re-
sides with his mother at S;,5 Central ave-
nue., Cincinnati, Ohio. Hc has been Il
victim of dyspepsia which took the form
OF continuous constipa ton, and. strangely
enough, his mother suffered from the same
rouble. Mr.. Owens testified to the ner-
Of Pink Pills III a most enthusiastic
way. and said to the Enquirer reporter:
Il am glad to say anything l can for

Mr.. Owens continues: II believe that
these pills are also good for nervousness
When had my stomach trouble l was
also quite nervous and that disappeared
with the dyspepsia; The Pink Pills were
all that is claimed for them. You can
make any use of this testimonial that you

Mrs. Owens is quite as enthusiastic
az her son about the Pink Pills and
her host of lady friends can verify her
good opinion of this wonderful remedy
if they feel disposed to do so a any time.

Keeping Roads in ReDair.


TO keep good roads in good repair
moisture is often the one thing desired
The four months of continuous drouth
last summer was trying to all kinds of
roads: Sand roads became almost im-
passable, gravel and dirt roads dissolved
into dust, and stone roads manifested a
strong tendency to disintegrate on the
surface for want of moisture to cement
the binding material with the stones.
But where the surface of the stone
roads is a part of shaded avenues, there
was none or little disintegrating, reports
Road Commissioner Budd of New Jersey,
thus emphasizing the experience and
practice of European road builders that
macademized roads should be set with
shade or fruit trees. so that the silent
forces of nature may steadily provide
pense, besides adding beauty to the land
scape. and pleasure and comfort to the
traveller.
