forth TO wake the landlord.
Notwithstanding his ent-collecting
habit, the landlord seemed TO share
the ianitor's views on the subject of
sleep. He hadn't a duplicate key, he
informed her, after at last he had
been awakened and appeared at an
upper window. He seemed TO Mollle
to Gloat over the fact. He intimated
that his business was renting apart

then he shut the window.
The drug clerk was asleep, too, aud
hard to arouse, but at last opened the
door wide. Upon perceiving n young
woman, however, he shut 1T again
quickly that his dishcveled condition
might not be too apparent, leaving,
however, Il crack wide enough for con
vcrsational purposes.

said, extending hand through the

There was a tremble in her voice
that convinced the drug clerk. It
was the same tremblc that won the

discovered that colony of black ants

struck, either on violin or with n
whistle, the ants would become ex.

Buying Boy by the Bushel.

There is an angry woman in this city in
a down town boarding house who has
wasted several days in an effort to find a
certain huckster who worked shrewd
swindle on her. She bargained with him
for IA bushels of potatoes, with the I'M
Outstanding that he was to put them In
the cellar for her. The careful house
wife counted the two bushel bags-seven
of them-and paid the man for that num-
Der. A short time after the huckster left
a neighbor notified her that during the
potato transaction she had seen a small
boy crawling out of the front cellar win
dow. An investigation showed that
there were only ten bushels of potatoes
and that on two occasions the boy had
been carried down cellar in the bag by
the huckster and had then climbed out
of the window and back to the wagon
again to repeat the swindle - Boston
