THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
A Meeting with q Gentle Hearted Woman

A Meeting with n Gentle Hearted woman
Backed by a Ferocious Dog.
"At the foot of the stairs in the front
hall of farmhouse one night" said
the rctir d burglar, 81 stumbled over
something soft that turned out to be a
feather bed. II had had grain of
sense at all, should have suspicioned
something from that, but / didn't. 1t
looked as though it had been just tum-
bled down stairs and left there to be
carried off in the morning, and let 1t
go at that and stepped into It and over
It to the first step Of the stairs and on
up.
stepping up on the fourth step,
kicked against string stretched across
the stairs and broke it. That made me
suspicious. but 1 never connected the
feather bed at the foot Of the stairs
with 1t. looked mp. expected 1t to be
connected with something there. And
it was, and It was coming down the
stairs at me and filling up the whole
stairway. 1t was a big feather bed.
Even then I didn't see that the one
coming down had anything to do with
the one down on the fioor, and at the
same time I couldn't understand why
anybody should roll anything like
feather bed down on anybody-bulky,
to be sure, but so light that it was aD
easy thing to stop.
put up my hands to stop this one,
but might just as we'll have tried b.
stop a mountain. Il was soft and
squashy OH the outside. but it weighed

backward, and I fell ON tho other feath-

I began to understand what that one
was for. 1t was to save the bones of the
man that was tumbled over by the ava
lanche bed.
II lay there nearly smothered by the
bed ON top and working out from under
1t gradually.
""I hope you are not hurt?' I heard
somebody say from over the railing
along the hall up stairs, and said,
No, ma'am, because it was a female
voice, and am always polite to the
ladies, but would you mind telling me
what's inside the one that came DOWN.
"Oh, she said, it's the summer
range, with the natirons inside. Can
you lift it off, or shall / let the dog
come down and help your
"And with that heard dog scratch
ing mp stairs. I supposed it started him
up to hear himself spoken of, and
judged from the sound Of hiE claws on
the carpet that he must have been about
the size of tiger and of about the same
kind Of disposition.
"'No,' says, Il can get clear Of it. ;
And did and stood up in the hall
"'You won't carry of the other one,
will your she said.
"And hearing the dog still scratch
ing up stairs, I said, NO. I won't.
And didn't. The lady appeared to be

An k.tr.ordi.sry Aaisr.sao..

One Of the greatest mysteries to scien-
fists, one for which there seems to be
no reasonable explanation, is that con-
cerning the migration Of the iemming,
or Norway rat Instead Of taking place
once year these migrations occur only
once in every II years. When the time
comes for the exodus, the little animals
journey westward from Scandinavia,
allowing nothing to stop their move
ments, which virtually amount to q
headlong fight They swim the lakes
and rivers and climb the highest noun
tains in inoalculable numbers, devastat-
ing the whole country through which
they travel. Naturalists attribute the
movement to some inherited memory Of
a flight to escape an expected cataclysm,
but this seems somewhat farfetched. -

in giving the new place the reputation
that will draw full tables and enable
the promoter to land another purchaser.
This speculator does not confine his
EFFORTS to New York. Boston, PhilaIlel-

A RECOLLECTION.

II was indeed perfect day.
scarce recall the weather,
But autumn calm and bloom Of May
Seem mingled there together.
Thcn melody mnde sweet the hours,
Each sentence was n ballad.
The rocks were jewels, weeds were flowers.
When Mary dressed the salad.
No vernal scene whose blandishment
Will welcomely beset US
Can have the fascination lent
By that small sprig of lettuce,
And vainly must musicians toll
From sage or fcstal wagon
For tones like those with which the oil
Came lettering from the fiagon.
Strange how these merchant chemists mar
Each once alluring savorl
How tastclcss Is the vinegar
How dull the peppers flavorl
Ofttimes when stcrner moods are planned
Those memories come pressing
That salad day, the sunshine and

AN ANCIENT MEXICAN CITY.
a Curious Legend Some Relies Of Emperor

A Curious Legend Some Relics Of Emperor
Msximiiian.
Nlueretaro was town before the
Spanish conquest anL was made city
in 1866. A legend of Queretaro is that
an Otomite chief, Fernando de Tapia
by pame, undertook to convert the city
to Christianity in way that seems
novel to us, but was common enough to
his day. He CAME from Tula with
challenge to the people of Queretaro to
fair stand up fight. If he won, the
people surviving were to be baptized.
The challenge was accepted, but while
the fight was in progress "a dark cloud
came up and the blessed Santiago was
seen in the heavens with fiery cross,
whereupon the people of Queretaro gave
up and were baptized. They set up
stone cross to commemorate the event
OIL the site of the present church of
Santa Cruz. There is scarcely n church
in Mexico which has not legend Of
this kind attached to it. The town Ia
identified with the history of Mexico.
Here the treaty Of peace between the
United States and Mexico was ratified

Peculiar superstitions embarrass the

must have neither cracks nor knots, and
in it u small hole must be made and
