Bob reached the back door Just in
time to see his visitor making a
2:+o clip west on Illinois street.
Mr. Night Prowler ran to the alley
and went north, Bob after him,
shouting "stop, thief" with all
the lung power at his command.
In the darkness OF the alley the
would-be thief was lost sight of,
but Chatter kept up the pursuit to
the railroad tracks, hoping to run
up against some one among the
loungers OF the neighborhood.
The police were duly notified, but
so meagre was the description that
no arrest could be made. 1t is
surmised that the crook was at
tracted by the display OF silver
ware which was placed on the
kitchen table after having been
in use during the evening for
juvenile social party given her
young schoolmates by Miss Katie
May Hyde, who was the first to
recognize the presence of the in

A Mid night Episode.

Bob Chatter, as everyone here
abouts knows, is something OF an
athlete, but no one ever accused
him Of being sprintcr. Thurs
night, however, he had occasion
to bring his powers of locomouon
into play to an extraordinary de-
gree. AT about Il:3o p. m. as he
was unrobing for the night, he
espied a gentleman of the "porch-
climbing" profession on the veran
da in front Of his house at the cor.
ner Of San uan avenue and Iii
nois street Mr.. CHATTER did not
wait to don his extra clothing, but
with nothing but his pants and
shoes on, proceeded to give his
nocturnal visitor home run, who
on perceiviag by the reflection Of
the arc light from the street into
the room, the preparations being
made for his reception. thought it
advisable to take French leave,
which he proceeded to put into
execution instanter. He passed
around the house to the south
gate, and out into Illinois street.

LIES monotonies are blessing, and

ton as possible. forms easy-golng
habits, sticks to them and cares no;

laoAr is WORTH A BIO SUM.
Two Thousand Dollars IL Asked for a
Rocky Mountain Specimen.


Rocky Mountain Specimen.
Mr.. Pugh of Vancouver, B. c., has
me only Rocky Mountain goat ever
captured alive, and he wants $4,000 for
{. 1t is the opinion of many that the
animal is well worth that sum. Mr..
Pugh is hunter, trapper and taxider-
mist, and when, two years ago, the
Vancouver 200" offered $4,000 for
i've specimen of the Rocky Mountain
goat he resolved to win the prize.
others had spent thousands OF dollars
in trying to fill the zoos order, but
N vain. The mountain goat, the shy
est but among the most beautiful OF
animals, resisted all attempts at cap
ture. Finally a kid was secured and
nursed for a month on a bottle just
where it was caught, at a very high
altitude. 1t grew lusty and was safely
landed in England. Then came Mr..
Pugh's successful attempt, from which
he has just returned. His plan was a
novel one. He and two companions
travelled into a land of eternal SHOWS,
forty miles up Squamish river, British
Columbia, where no white man has
ever been. AS anticipated he found
that the wild animals, goats, bears,
wolves, marten fisher, etc.-did not
fear man as much as each other. He
soon caught seven kids, but the beauti-
fuf creatures all died when they struck
the lower atmosphere. His only hope
was to capture a yearling. At last,
after stalking one for three days, he
drove it onto a ledge two feet wide,
running along a perpendicular cliff
His companions then tied a rope
around his waist and lowered him TO
the ledge, 500 feet below. The goat
trotted along until the ledge pinched
out Then, standing on its hind legs,
1t clawed the air like Waiting horse.
Below the beast was a drop of 1900
feet, with nothing even for a mountain
goat to cling to. On one side was va
cant space on the other side man
Mr.. Pugh allowed the creature to tire
itself out paving the air and the side
of the cliff above, when it deliberately
crouched down at his feet and, locking
pleadingly into his eyes. waited to be
devoured. Mr.. Pugh held the goat I'M
resisting in his arms and goat and
man were hauled to the top OF the cliff.
A dozen other unsuccessful attempts
were made. In some cases the goats
leaped 100 feet and escaped from their
pursuers. The kids captured leapsd
thirty or forty feet in their attempts
to get away, but in their youthful folly
landed in the deep snow. The goat
captured became tame before reaching
the valley and ate out of it's captor's
hand.

Precautions Taken by Him AgaIny,
Poison and Assassination.
Abdul Hamid's program for the day
is a journal of cowardice, says Eugene
P. Lyle in Everybody's Magazine. He
rises about o'clock, for he limits to
the utmost his lapse into the helpless
ness Of sleep. He takes a cold bath
vapor baths and massage might reduce
his poor skeleton yet more-and after
the bath comes coffee and cigarettes
both made in his presence and KEEP
up all day long. He is very busy
man, but his affairs are mostly spies
reports and translations of foreign
press comments. The real business o.
state may drag for months and years.
In solitary splendor he eats gingerly OF
his dinner Imposing pages brig on
the viands in solemn procession. The
plates are under seal, just as thsy we Q
sent from the kitchen. The kitchen.
by the way, is an armored box with
iron shutters. The august diner often
asks an attendant to taste this or that,
or uses the same precaution on the
dogs and cats around him. He suffer-
from stomach troubles, so in a few
minutes the repast is finished. Abdul
retires late. From behind a screen the
grand master Of the wardrobe reads
to him fearful tales of blood and muir
der His sleep is unquiet and nervous,
He wakes up frequently and calls aloud
for company.

Live stock diseases in England.

A report from Professor McFadyear
presented to the council of the Roya'
Agricultural Society at their last meet
ing stated that during the sixteer
weeks of this year for which the Of.
fetal returns have been issued. 221
outbreaks of anthrax, with 327 animals
attacked, have been notified. For the
corresponding period of last year the
figures we're 179 and 2S3 respectively
During the same period there have
been 377 outbreaks of CHAMBERS, with
644 animals attacked. as against 331
outbreaks and 600 animals attacked
during the first sixteen weeks of last
year. Since the last meeting of the
council three fresh centers OF foot ant
mouth disease have been detected. The
first of these was reported from SUFFOLK
on April z, and the other two from
Essex ON April 8 and IL respectively
The total number of outbreaks for the
present year is II, with Cos animals at
tackled. During the first sixteen weeks
OF. the year there have been 9S5 out
breaks of swine fever, as against 56s
for the corresponding period Of last
year. Serious as these figures are. they
scarcely disclose the full extent tc
which the disease has recently in.
creased. The outbreaks for the last
four weeks number 400. as against
1853 for the corresponding four weeks
OF last year Unfortunately a case Of
rabies was reported during the weeh
ending April 20. It occurred in Car
marthenshire, and, in addition to the
diseased animal, two dogs have beer
destroyed as having been exposed tc
infection. During the month of April
80 morbid specimens wers forwarded

No fair-minded landlord can any
longer advance the old argument that
wretched tenements are inevitable be-
cause the poor prefer filth to cleanli-
ness and that good tenements will not
pay. The City and Suburban Homes
Company of New York has disposed Of
that insufficient excuse of the parsimo-
NOUS landlord. This corporation ap-
preached the problem with the idea of
combining business and philanthropy.
1t has built excellent tenements in the
poorest parts of the city, and rents
a. prices as low as those of the miser-
able novels about them. Its holdings
represent an investment of two mil
lion dollars, on which it has just de-
clared a dividend of per cent. The
landlord who pretends that good tene-
ments will not pay is usually a man
who wants fifteen per cent.

In East Oakland, CAL, is to be tried
a plan for helping homeless girls
which seems almost ideal in method
as well as in purpose. A rich and gen
erous-hearted woman has declared her
intention of building ten cottages, each
of which will accommodate ten girls
and be in charge of "house-mother."
The cottages will stand in a beautiful
park, with trees, lawns and flower
gardens about them. The inmates Of
each cottage will constitute separate
family, the older girls helping to care
for the younger ones. All will attend
the public schools as other girls do,
and will have their own outside diver
sions and friendships. Meantime they
will also have in the home thorough
training in homework. AS they reach
a suitable age, each will receive spe-
cial education in whatever trade or
field Of work she may select-teaching
dressmaking, millinery, typewriting,
art or music-so that when she leaves
the home each girl will be equipped
to earn her own living. One Of the
most attractive characteristics of the
undertaking is it's lack of institutional
restraint and the large individual free
dom which II permits.

Seven Of the largest sugar refineries
in St Mary Parish. Louisiana, have
decided to discontinue the use Of coal
in the manufacture of sugar, and Will
hereafter use oil as fuel. These re-
ineries use $4,000 worth OF coal an
nually, and they get II largely from
western Pennsylvania. II will cost
s35, 900 to adapt their furnaces to the
use of oil, but 1t is estimated that less
than $4,000 worth of fuel oil will do
the work Of $4,000 worth of coal.

sugar plantations in Louisiana will be
using Texas oil instead Of coal.
