Very carefully and slowly erept from the cot and erawled on my hands and knees to the end of the counter. A man was at the farther end of the store. I saw him distinctly, He had candle in one hand, partly concealing its light with the other while he stepped softly along among the barrels and boxes
 A brilliant plan for preventing his es- cape suggested itself to me. Turning noiselessly around, I crept along under the counter to the other end of the store, to box of ground black pepper. I filled my hand with the pepper just as the man came around the end of the counter.
 I dashed the pepper at the mans head, and starting forward, caught the candle as he dropped it to throw both hands up to his face, while he staggered back in pain and amazement
 As he staggered back, he stumbled over small barrel of salt mackerel at the end of the counter, and fell sprawl ing to the floor. Seizing a scale-weight near by, threw it at him. Fortunate ly for us both, 1t did not strike a vital spot I was now wildly excited, and be- gan pitching all sorts of groceries at him, while shrieked out:

 had to sweep and dust the store, and
 have it open for business by six o'clock
 every morning. My employers were
 wise enough to insist on having all goods neatly packed in every part of
 the store. Such tidiness attracted trade,
 they said, and am now sure it did, all though I had my doubts about it at the time.
 1 had ten kerosene lamps to fill and
 clean every day, Besides this I had to
 wash all of the windows every Satur- day. and, indeed, I was kept busy all most every hour of the day, so that I had to work as hard, perhaps harder, 1 than l would have. worked had I re- mained at home.
 But the most disagreeable of all my duties came to me at night, for had to sleep in the store as kind of a guard against burglars.
 My bed was a small canvas cot, hid den away under a high counter in the daytime and placed where I pleased at night. The cot was a poor exchange for my clean and comfortable bed at home.
 All the delights of my new position could not have induced me to accept it had l known beforehand that my du- ties included sleeping alone in the store at night; but I did not know 1t until the close of my first day of service.
 The store was in large, homely, two- story building, with rooms on the sec ond story in which Mr Cody and his family lived. I was somewhat reas- sured when l remembered how near Mir. Cody was in case of trouble at night
 After passing several nights in safety my fears began to subsde and I grew more courageous. I even began to feel that an encounted with burglar might, after all, be something to be desired. If l could capture one, how the deed would glorify me in the eyes of the villagers
 Writing of the affair recalls very viv- idly every detail of the eventful night when I,awake and found that the bur glar had arrived.
 It was between the hours of two and three in the morning-the hour when good men sleep. I had at this time been filling my new position somewhat over a month and had begun to feel little as to whether wanted to make clerlSing-as I called it-in gro- cery store my lifelong occupation.
 A heavy thunderstorm had come up at eleven o'clock, and the lightning was terrific It must have been midnight before l slept at all. A storm always makes me nervous,
 l awoke while the clock in the town hall was striking two. The storm had died away, but the night was of pitchy darkness heard something fall to the floor at the other end of the store and then a half-smothered exclamation.

THE BOERS 4S OPPRESSO

There are many who look upon the British as the oppressors of the Boers,
 and not so many who look upon the Boers as oppressors. But it is pointed
 out that the Boers are utterly regardless
 of the right of subject people over whom they have taken control, and are mercllessly cruel in their manner of treating the African race in whose coun- try they have settled. A conference of
 the African Methodist Episcopal church
 of this country has presented the truth
 as it exists in this instance to the at tention of the American public After
 recounting the sufferings of native Af-
 ricans under Boer rule it has officially
 declared itself in the following resolu-
 tions: Resolved, That, while we depre- cate war between nations, yet we hearti- ly endorse the action of England in her efforts in teaching these misguided peo- Christian civilization. Resolved, that the sympathy of this meeting go out to the struggling natives. who are grooming under the hell-born tyranny of oppres- sion and wrong at the hands of Boers.
 It will be hard for the enthusiastic sympathizers with the Boers to look upon them as oppressors, but there seems to be no doubt that they have done their share of expressing.

Another opportu- nifty for the evasion of the duty came from the discontinuance of a cemetery, and the removal therefrom of the re- rains, some evidence having been ob- tained that many of the bodies then re- moved went to China, instead of being re-interred in California.

 Now that the automobile coat has ceased to be sporty and is merely fiashy, a new design has been rushed to the front to meet the demand of those wo- men who found that severity of outside, generosity of line and the daintiness of inside suited many demands. The new coats are of satin or taffeta. They are on automobile lines, only they are tuck ed heavily front and back all the way from the shoulder line down. sometimes from the throat down. A coat of black taffeta or of black satin thus made, with sleeves tucked, too, is quite effec- tive and suits a lot of occasions and costumes Tan satin is still more swag- ger. Satin with strappings of cloth, the front boxed, the back shaped in without being fitted, or falling in an outstanding fold from between the shoulders in the back, is another grade. There are some useful and comfortable affairs made of pongee in the more natural linen color. These are of the bathrobe type and a wearer is supposed to slip into one for coaching and driv- ing where she does not hold the reins, but wants to keep free from dust

MY MIDNIGHT BURGLARS

| At the time when l was a lad of fif- | teen l had very earnest desire to be- come clerk in one of the two grocery stores in our town.
 I knew young fellow who was boy fof all work in one of these stores, and | 1t seemed to me that he took occasion to
 eat great quantities of cheese, candy, prunes and sweet crackers with a vaunting pride in the prerogatives of his position every time I entered the store.
 Moreover he wore a white paper col lar and blue necktie and boots every day while I, hard-worked farmers lad, could assume this bravery of appar- e only on Sundays.
 This lad whose name was Hiram Doolittle, and whom I had known all my life, assumed an aggravating air of patronage from the day he was, as thought, elevated from his fathers farm to the position of clerk in the grocery store of Hunt & Cody,
 Suffice it to say that I was determined to rise to position of equal prominence and one that would give me equal privi- leges in the way of consuming candy and crackers.
 Judge, therefore, of my delight when my father one day came home from the village and said: Joe, MT Cody has been talking to me about you to-day"
 About me?' I asked, in surprise
 Yes, he's turned Hiram Dooittle off,"
 Turned him off? What for?"
 Well, he says he got to be altogether too smart, and that he nearly ate up all the raisins and candy in the store. He wants another boy, and asked if l would like to have you take Hiram's place. Would you like the placer
 Very much I replied.
 My father looked little dfsappoint- ed and said; I'd hoped you'd take to farming. But perhaps you can do bet ter in business, although I think that is very doubtful. MT Cody says they'll pay four dollars a week to begin with and more at the end of six months if you earn it.
 Four dollars a week! It seemed like an unlimited income to me
 The result of it all was that on the next Monday morning I took upon my self the duties of the deposed Hiram, his | 'hagrin at this turn of affairs being | equal to my own satisfaction.

 given in the shipment from Lincoln
 county, Wisconsin, to Milwaukee of more than 50,0oO little bouquets of arbutus to be distributed among the people of that city. This early spring blossom fourishes in the northern part of the State, but it Is not found near Milwaukee and some one suggested the happy idea that 1t would be courteous and neighborly on the part of Lincoln county's residents to send the flowers to Milwaukee as spring greeting. The suggestion was so heartily received in Tomahawk, up in Lincoln county, that Arbutus Day became a holiday for the schoo-children and many others. Far mers furnished the transportation, and the children and their elders had a picnic in the woods, filling their emptied lunch baskets with the arbutus. Each little bunch sent to Milwaukee bore a card lettered: From the school-chil- dren, women's clubs, and farmers of Tomahawk, Lincoln county, in the heart of the beautiful Wisconsin valley, with pleasant springtide greetings to the people of Milwaukee. Come and visit us" The bouquets were distributed at the newspaper offices, and were eagerly sought. It is hoped in Milwaukee that Arbutus Day will become an annual event.
