Dangerous Thief.

A French actress, travelling about the
country, had for use in one of her plays
lay figure, skillfully put together and
dressed in a travelling suit. So says the
New York Herald, which proceeds to
tell comicai story about it:
At Marseilles 1t was left in the lug
gage room with other things. Tho curl.
osity of two Of the railway employees
being aroused at the sight Of it, they
took off the coverings and resolved to
play joke on their comrades. They
placed the figure in an armchair at the
desk Of the cashier and shut the door.
When the employees ON night service
came, they opened the door and were
surprised to see man sitting before the
cash box. They Immediately closed and
locked the door and ran for assistance.
A policeman arrived, revolver in
hand. believing, like the employees,
that he had to deal with q dangerous
thief. He called ON the figure to sur.
render and follow him to the station.
As 1t did not obey the summons, the po.
iceman shut the door and went In
search of re-enforcements to surround
the place and thereby prevent the cul.
prit from escaping.
The door was again opened, the arm.
ed force entered, and twas not till they
had suddenly pounoed on the poor lay
robber that they discovered the joke.

Speaking of strange and sad occur.

than the death aud burial of Charles
Carter, a well known farmer residing
near Russell. He was cleaning out an

was given, hundreds Of people assem-.

we respect, as when the infirmities of
human nature disclose themselves In a

trivial affair occurs. In solemn cere.
