 q believe that she wakes me up a hundred nights in the year to tell me that burglar is trying.to get into the house. It's always a false alarm, of course"
 But where do you want the philos- ophy to come in? p was asked.
 Cant you see? If the cupidity Of one burglar is aroused by the looks of the exterior of our house, why not a second? Why shouldn't they both plan to rob it on the same night? Why shouldn't No. ? arrive just as No. l is getting in?''
 "And what?"
 ''Why, professional jealousy would lead to a row, and it's not too much to hope that both would be killed and that their cadavers would be snapped up during the night by medical college. shall have to keep talking to my wife till she sees things in different light" Boston Globe.

The Two-Minute Horse.

This is speedy age. In 1865 Dexter, the famous trotter, made a mile in 2:1sA, and astonished the world. In 1891 Sunol took ten seconds off of that. record, and the eyes of the world opened wider yet. Last year Cresceus dropped the record to 2:o2A. To-day we are looking for the two-minute horse, and he is not far away.
