maaina stated yesterday that several
years ago one of the boats for Austral-

case of the China, which would not
necessarily wait for the overland mails
beyond a few hours.
The China has lately been making no
attempt to make records between ports,
and coal saving has been the order
from the company. This being the case.
she was due to arrive here only yester-
day at noon, which would give her the

hours overdue. The Sierra on the same

growl bulldog gives before he makes
his spring. The growl seemed to come
from under the burglars very feet. 1t
was no time to parley. He made a wild
dash across the room, plunged through
a window, alighted on the roof of a lit
tie shed and rolled to the ground in the
back yard. Picking himself UP, the ter
rified thief scrambled over the fence and
sped up an alley. His partner startled
at this sudden exit, but realizing that it
was not the time for crosse xamina-
ton, darted off in another direction.
1t was certainly fated to be an I'M
lucky night for this particular burglar.
At the intersection of the alley up which
he was fleeing and the first cross street
he encountered policeman, who had
heard the crash of the breaking glass.
The policeman wished the burglar to
CD and explain. The burglar refused
this request. A short argument ensued
The policeman, by the use of his club,
persuaded the burglar that logs was on
his side. He even prevailed on the bur-
glar to accompany him to the nearest
police station.
1t was not until the case was called
up in police court that the unfortu-
nate burglar learned the cause Of his
undoing. In the house which he had
entered there lived a professional ven-
triloquist. And the ventriloquist was
awake when the burglas entered his
room.
Nov, wouldn't that jar a MANI"
sighed the unlucky burglar when he re-
allied what had caused his woes.
Some folks can get all the hard luck
that amt chained down. A ventrilo-
quist! Gee, when / heard that growl I
thought I was against the real thing in
the way of bulldogs. New York Tri-
bnue.

A SCARED BURGLAR.

He Was AssaiIed by Voices from All
Sides and by Growls of a Dog as
Well.
A burglar was recently sentenced to
one of the upstate prisons otter an ex-
perience so narrowing that his capture
by his natural enemies, the police, was
almost relief. In company with his
partner the burglar entered a house in
which the residents apparently were
buried in peaceful slumber. Now, this
particular burglar rather prides him
self on his professional skill. Accord
ingly, he directed his pal to keep
watch outside while he himself attended
to the fine points Of the burglary.
All went we'll until the burglar en-
tered room on the second floor in
which was a man apparently sleeping
on the bed. Then came a hoarse Whis-
| per:
Here you come out and let me tend
to this
AS the whisper seemed to come from
the hail. the burglar thought his part
ner had intruded in most unjustifia-
BILE manner to instruct him on burglary
as a fine art He tiptoed toward the
hall, intending to rebuke the presump-
tuous partner and inform him that ii
was a burglary, not a night school,
which was in progress But near the
door of the room he was halted by a
gruff voice:
Back up, there, or Til fill you with
holes"
Thoroughly terrified, the burglar dart
