oUTGRABRED THE eoARDER.
Brooklyn Eagle.

A thrilling tale of strife in Philadelphia
boarding house and the mutilation of
United States greenbacks in the struggle
was contained In a letter received by
Treasurer Roberts recently. in Washing
ton. It was short and to the point, run
ming as follows:
.'Sir-I had a fight with the boarding
lady, and in the fight she grab the bills,
and tore them in half and threw her half
in the fire, through madness, and kept
my half. P. S. Please send value Of 400
dollars .-
The experts of the redemption division
are inclined to believe that the fighting
boarding house woman out-grabbed the
-boarder, for the latter had only some
small fragments to present for redemption.
They were measured up and found to be
worth about 50. and he will be reimbursed
to that amount.

When the frost is on the window and the
kitchen pail is froze, when the little icy
needles come from every breath thai t

cold feet give US pain, it's safe to bet
that we all wish for summer days again.
For while we sweat and fume around in
gauzy summer clothes, it's easy enough to
get cooled eff, as everybody knows; but
it's different in the winter. when the
world is full of ice. and the weather is as
hard as a pair of loaded dice. We may
