Hard on the Burglar.

'There is a family in my town." said
a Baltimore man, where the children
are all boys. They are very rich, and
each of the three sons is in receipt of a
liberal allowance, but the manner in
which they eXpend 1t and certain of
their characteristics were as succinct-
ly and tersely described as possible
the other day by Bob, the eldest one, in
telling the story of a burglary that &C.
CURED last summer at their country
place. Bob is the oldest, Jack the Sec
ond and Albert the youngest son. Bob,
in telling the story, said;
HE didn't get very much, as some
one of the servants thought he heard
something about 3 and In going to in
vestigate probably scared him off, but
when we discovered the next morning
that a burglar had visited US we ratu-
rally took an account Of stock. The
only rooms in the house he had entered
were those of my two brothers and
myself, and in each of them he had
gone through the clothes we had been
wearing the day before. Out Of my
clothes he got 10 cents, from Jack he
got nothing, and in going through
Bert's jeans he got in debt" ~ New

The suns Journey Through Space.

The SUMS journey Through Space
BY means of the ~spectroscope we can
obtain a probably more accurate deter
mination of the suns velocity through
space. AS is well known, the velocity
of a sta in the line of sight can he
found by measuring the displacement
of the lines visible in the stars spec
trum. Now. ire stars near the position
of the solar ''apex" should be APP
preaching the earth on account Of the
solar motion, and those at the opposite
point of the sky, called the IAN apex"
should be receding.
This method has been employed by
several astronomers, especially by Vo-
gel at the Potsdam observatory. This
able astronomer has found from an eX.
animation Of 40 stars hat the suns
velocity through space Is about ~
miles a second, but an examination of
a larger number of stars would be nee
essary before we could consider this
result as thoroughly established.
From an examination of the spectra
of II nebulR Professor Keeler of the
Lick observatory has found velocities
in the line of sight, and from these the
French astronomer Tisserand has de-
duced a velocity of about 8 IS miles
for the solar motion, a result which
does not differ widely from that found
by Vogel. We may therefore perhaps
conclude that the velocity of the suns
motion through space is between 6 and
IL miles per second.-Gentleman's
magazine.

A GREAT COMPANY.
Neihart Treated to a Three Night
Show of Rare Ability.

Downie's big company of players
made a three night stand here this
week playing to packed houses.
This is Enthusiastically the best com
pany that ever favored Neihart with
its presence. The productions are
clean, and high class, and the rendi-
tions excellent in every particular.
This company always gives satisfac-
ton at Neihart, and may rely upon
a crowded house every night of its
appearance.
On Wednesday night they gave
"Prince and Lady,"and on Thursday
night the roaring popular comedy.
"My Uncle from Manila" both Of
which were highly pleasing both III

presentation. The hottest special.
ties on the road are given between

this historic gulch.

A New Hampshire nan wished to
have telephone connection between his
house and a new n built for his
sons summer residence. The best
route took the wire over the cottage
of an old lady, to whom he applied for
permission to make the slight use of
her roof that was necessary.
The old lady gave her consent, but
made a firm stipulation at the same
time.
"Im willing you should run wires
over my roof and hitch EN- wherever
you see fit" she said pleasantly, "pro-
vided you don't use 'em after 8 o'clock
at night. That's my bedtime, and I'm
a light sleeper at best, and the noise
of folks talking overhead would be
sure to keep me awake."-Youth's

Chess and War.

The origin of chess is shrouded in
mystery. There is little doubt, how
ever, that it's birthplace was in India
and that it is an offspring of a game
called chaturanga, which is mentioned
In oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era.
From India chess spread into Persia.
and thence into Arabia, and ultimately
the Arabs took it into Spain and the
rest of western Europe.
The game vas in all probability in
vented for the purpose of illustrating
the art of war. The Arab legend upon
this point is that it was devised for
the instruction of a young despot by
his father, a learned Brahman, to teach
him that a king, Notwithstanding his
power, was dependent for safety upon
his subjects. The Greek historians
credit the invention of the game to
Palamedes, who, they claim, devised
it to beguile the tedium of the siege
of Troy during the Trojan war.
