Value OF the Book as the Thieves Explain
cd 1t to Their Lawyer.
When western lawyer of distino
ton was once visiting q strange
town, he volunteered to defend two
men charged with stealing boat
The men were found in possession
of the boat and were suspected Of
being prisoners recently discharged
from neighboring penitcntiary.
They were frank enough with
their counsel to own that they were
discharged prisoners, and they said
that they had taken tn boat merely
TO aid them in their journey. Thoy
professed to have no money, and
the only things found upon then
persons were child S picture bear

tie arrangement of hooks and wire

Mother to Harry" One of the pris.
oners was willing to go upon the
stand and swear that they were not
discharged prisoners, but tho other
declared that ho was Catholic and
as such had conscientious scruples
against perjury. So neither was put
upon the witness stand. The defense
was mainly an appeal to the jury in
the name of tho Bible found upon
one of the prisoners, and so effective
was the lawyers plea that many Of
the Jurors wept as he pictured these
virtuous and penniless young men
tempted to borrow the boat in order
that they might reach homo and
kindred. The result was the prompt
acquittal of the prisoners,
Soon after the verdict was given
the lawyer had private cor ference

but begged time for payment They
owned that they wero burglars and

lawyer had 1t IN his possession, and
he begged his clients to tell him its
special value. They promptly show

LOOKING FOR BURGLARS.
Experience of q Man with n Loaded r.
volver In n Coalhouse.

volver In Coalhouse.
A prominent north slider some
time ago read an article about the
thrilling midnight adventures of a
we'll known south slider with q bur-
glar in the coalhouse
1t often happened that 1t became
necessary for this gentleman to go
nut in the coalhouse in the middle
of tho night. He decided that if he
ran across burglar he would not
be caught unarmed, so he purchased
a nice, shiny revolver.
The night after making the pur.
chase he came homo very late and
found that there was no coal in tho
house. This was the very chance he
wanted; he would go out and get
somo coal, and if there was a coal
thief in the ooalhouse he would show
him how he could shoot.
Arming himself with the revolver
and a coal scuttle, he started for the
coaihouse. Before descending the
back steps ho was particular to cock
the pistol. Holding it carefully out
at arms length, he started across
the yard ard arrived safely at the
ooalhouse. When within a few feet
of the door, he dropped the scuttle
and coughed loudly in order to give
the thief, if there was one, a chance
to run for his life, not wishing to
murder man in cold blood.
He was rather disappointed not to
SEQ large man rush from tho coal
house; but, nevertheless, he went
in and began to feel around for the
shovel with his foot. Not finding it,
he made some remarks that would
not look we'll in print. laid the pis-
tol on tho ground and began to pick
up Jumps Of ccal.
In his efforts to find pieces of tho
desired size he entirely forgot tho
pistol and accidentally stepped on it.
There was u loud report. The daring
hero gave one wild yell and made a
rush for the deer. But no was not
destined to escape SO easily. His
foot bccane cntanglcd in nm old bed.
spring that tho good housewife had
discarded. He imagined that he had
run over burglar and that the bur-
glar had caught him by the foot.
Tho noise mado by the spring was
TO his excited mind the burglar grit
ting his teeth.
When by desperate efforts he
had navlgated 10 the middle of the
yard, ho trippcd and fell. Then be.
gan fight for life, The man rolled
over and over, but the spring always
came on top.
Finally he became so tangled up
that it was impossible to move.
