GLASS BULB BOMBS.

Scared the Man who Used Them, but
vanquished the Burglar.
"Of all the outlandish weapons ever
employed in a fight" said a business
man of the south side, ST think I
brought the most fantastic on record
into play one night last weel. Ny
family is away on visit at present,
and I am keeping bachelor hall out at
the house. On the night to which l re-
fer was aroused at about a. m. by q
noise somewhere in the region of the
dining room, and, thinking | had shut
up the dog there, jumped up very
foolishly and came down stairs in my
nightclothes without so much as q
pocketknife.
when I opened the dining room
door, l was startled to see big, rough
looking man bending over the side
board at the far end of the room, and
after we had stood there en- tableau for
moment the fellow made rush at
me. l leaped back into the hall and
glared around for a weapon. On Ia
BILE near by were dozen incandescent
light bulbs, which 1 had brought home
to replace some that had burned out,
and purely by instinct l grabbed one Of
them and threw it at the burglar. 1t
hit the door casing close to his head
and, to my amazement. exploded with
noise like young lyddite shell.
81 suppose it was a still greater sur
prise to the other fellow, for he let out
a yell and broke for the rear. followed
by a rapid fire bombardment of 16 can
die power incandescents, which con-
tinued to chuck at him as long as he
remained in range. They smashed
against the furniture with a series of
crashes that alarmed the whole neigh
borhood, and I have been gathering up
fragments of broken glass ever since.
"The burglar must have thought I
was chasing him with hand grenades.

AN INTERNATIONAL CoUKTsHIp.

This novel abeunds with interesting and
amusing characters and describes with
considerable literary skill the pursuit of
the American heiress and her ambitious
mother for an English title. The book is
social satire of the most trenchant kind
and exposes the shams and hypocrisies of
the noveau richie in the United States and
the beggared aristocracy of the old world.
We have no doubt whatever, that when
An International Courtship becomes gen
orally known it will cause some very lively
discussions amongst the feminine partisans
of the community, more especially wo-
mems clubs, as the subject is one which
has become more or less burning ques-
ton of National importance. Why should
our American girls betake themselves and
their millions across the ocean to bolster
up the ruined fortunes of foreign noble
men whose careers are anything but a
credit to themselves and their countries
This question we ask ourselves in all ser
iousness and readers of An International
Courtship will be enlightened as to the
methods and manners of those engaged in
in the questionable pursuit. We antici-
pate great run on the book as it is. a
powerful and remarkable novel of modern
manners realistic and well sustained 1t
is return to the realms of fact from the
deluge of quasi romantic sentimental fic-
ton of the past decade and for that reason
we welcome the book Mr. Melville
Kirke may be a new writer Eve do not
recognize the name) but he writes with all
the certainty, assurance and conviction of
the practised hand We shall look for
ward to further supply of fiction from
the same author and we congratulate him
upon his breadth of view, his profound
knowlede of life and human nature, his
honorable against the dishonorable and
meretricious. Price ST. Nicely Publish
