HE nAErLEn TILE RAIDERS.

The success of raid on an alleged
gambling house in Massachusetts
town was foiled by the presence O.
mind of an attendant of the place, who
swallowed the dice. OF course this
clever trick wouldn't work in some
gambling places. Even a Massachu-
sets throat would scarcely be able to
worry down the paraphernalia of
fully equipped establishment But it
was winner on the occasion named.
The bones clicked against the teeth
of the attendant, there was a gulp and
a wriggle, and the laws myrmidons
We're bafiled! The attendant might
have added as he tossed the cubes OF
chance across his tongue that the die
is cast, but being entirely unfamiliar
with classic lore, he merely remarked
with slillfully disguised wink that
he didn't know nothin' about no dice
nohow.
And as the state constable had no
warrant which authorized him to raid
the attendants midst, he turned away,
leaving the swallower in the throes OF
fit of laughter that made the dice
rattle at every throe.-Clevelan Plain
Dealer.

HIS LaBoH LOST.

Mr.. and Mrs. Bixtable resided in an
apartment house, but as theirs was
the lower fiat they exercised a kind OF
supervision over the little lawn in
front. One morning Mrs. Bixtable
discovered her husband in the rear OF
the building engaged in strapping the
lawn mower on the handlebar Of his
bicycle.
Why, Gerald" she said, "how
ridiculous! Don't you know"
1T isn't ridiculous at ALL" he re-
torted. I've carried heavier weights
than this"

Don't bother me-"
She said nothing more. With vast
amount Of work he succeeded at last
in tying and strapping the implement
across the front OF his bicycle and
started to trundle the machine out to
the road.
Then he made discovery.
"Why, Miranda he exclaimed, Its

sponded his wife. That's what was

trip to Italy, and had, with some
dlhculty, obtained permission to look
at the inside of one of the old Genoese
palaces. seldom visited, and to take
photograph of the stairway, which
you see is an exceedingly beautiful
one. i had special fancy for archi-
tectural bits then.
On my way to the palace, passing
through the tortuous thoroughfares
with their quaint little box-shops, l
stopped here and there, as all new
corners will, to gaze in the windows at
the varied show.

and. finally, selling me by the coat
persuaded me into making the pur-

and hurried on to my destination.
"The quick walk seemed to heat my

had showed my permit to the custod-
ian and selected the point from which
could get the best view, threw my

and fastened out again. Get some

recent visit to an island where
penguins build their nests, off the coas:
of Cape Colony, is thus described by
traveller: We proceeded to explore the
island, which is a low-lying sandbanlz
sparsely covered with a small scrub,
and, with the exception of the light
house keepers and half dozen boys
who collect the eggs, is inhabited sole
ly by birds, the great majority OF
which are penguins. These breed all
over the island, and are to be seen by
thousands, and in all stages of devel-
opment, from the grave and reverend
seignior weighed down with family
cares to the little ball Of fluff just es-
capped from the egg, and with all the
troubles of life before it. The birds
nest in holes, which they either take
over from former tenants, Or. if enter
prising, dig for themselves. The total
number Of eggs collected during the
year is upward of 100000. In spite OF
their somewhat fishy favor, they are
much appreciated by the Malay popu-
lation and many Of the EuroLea resi-
dents of Cape Town and command
ready market at cents apiece The
right of selling the eggs is leased by
the government to private individual,
who collects them all between the
months of March. when the pengulns
begin to lay, and August, when they
are allowed to sit and hatch out. In
this way the breeding season is greatly
heightened, and consequently the birds
remain much longer On the island and
the supply of the guano is correspond
ingly increased. Being natives of
South Africa, the birds displayed all
the curiosity of the raw kaffr, and
calmly and unabashed walked up and
started us out Of countenance, occa-
sionally turning to each other to COM

able appearance. One, more curious,

ed marshal Of the island possession

came west at an early age, settling in
Chicago. From 1869 to 1873 he was
editor of the Bloomington Paragraph.
Removing from that city to SPRING
field, he became secretary of the state
ship of the Springfield Stalwart. In
1880 Mr.. Ray moved to Chicago, where
he maintained his home to the time Of
his death.
Mr.. Ray for four years was an in
spector in the Chicago postoffice, and

preceding his appointment as marshal
of Hawaii Mr.. Ray was Senator Cul-
Ions private secretary. He was also
secretary of the interstate commerce
commission.
