He led the way by the light of d match,
and Mrs BOWser followed All was still
until they reached the foot OF the stairs.
Then there was a rubbing against the
front door, and Mr.. Bowser would surely
have fired the pistol if he hadnt forgotten
to cock it. He was pulling at the trigger
with all his might when Mrs. BoWSer ad-

Bowser, as he sat up in bed.

Mr.. Bowse- picked up the pistol and
walked out to the stairs and looked over
the banisters down into the darkness, and
after n minute he returned to the bed
with his teeth chattering and said:
Its so dark I couldn't see q burglar
down there if there was a gang of a dozen

And have all the lieishbors say you are

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; ii is rot a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegeta bIes.
Charcoal effectual1y clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: il
dlslnfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in ono
form or another. but probably the hest

will know about it, and when the
police and reporters come I don't want
you to do too much talking. Just
leave that to me-
Mrs. Bowser was silent for the next
five minutes, and then she said:
I wish you would promise me not
to kill a burglar. He may be some
man who is committing his first Of

perhaps he would reform and become
an alderman. Give him a chance be-

afternoon. If we had any milk left I

Mr.. BOwser put his weapon away
and nothing further was said about
burglars An hour later the pair were
off to bed, and the only extra precau-
ton he took over the other nights was
to place the revolver within reach of
his hand. Sleep came, and in his
dreams he was reforming and shooting
burglars by the dozen, when Mrs.
Bowser awoke him and softly whis-
pered in his ear.

HOW NAMES GROW IIP.

We have become so accustomed to
rolling the proper names in our geog-
raphies over our tongues as gilbly as
we do our own that few of us ever stop
to think how much of history, political,
natural and religious, is wrapped up In
a few syllables. How many towns do
you know that end in berg" burg"
'burgh" or Borough"
Take for the first one Edinburgh for
instance. How came 1t by that name
instead of Stumptown or Hardscrab-
BILE? Let us take the "burgh" out of
the name first.
"Burgh'' means in England and Scot
land a corporate town. All the Eng
ish towns that end in berry" bur
row." bury borrow" ETC., have that
ending from "burgh." In the erman it
means a castle or fortified town. So
much for our "burgh." Then, in Edin-
buGgh, it means the castle or town Of
whom or what? Here "Edin'' is only
Edwin" shortened, and Edinburgh the

VENETIAN NIGHTS.
White City TO Produce Fete Scene Of
UnrfvaIIed Beauty.

UnrtValied Beauty.
Venetian nights-nights Of rare
beauty and enchantment-are to be in
augurated at the White City next Sat
urday. Scenes that will rival in splen-
dor and brilliancy any ever attempted
in this section of the country will be
arranged in quick succession. and moth

outlined by Manager Cunden are now
In the hands of the electricians, who,
reinforced by several men from Dream
land, will spend all of this week in car
rying them out.
A slight idea may be had of what
these nights will be from a statement
of a few plans. In the middle Of the
lagoon a great pole will be erected,
which, from the water to the very top,
will be covered with double power eltc-
trio lights. From the top to the sides
of the lagoon will be run a myriad
string of electric lights, the whole be-
ing gigantic May-pole of fire. All
the boats will be fixed over to resemble
gondolas and the boatmen will be dress
Gu iL1 lILC picturesque SiL ~ VI 5oAANSA4Ste'H
This scene will be truly representative
of a brilliantly illuminated street in
Venice OH fete night. The patrons of
the chutes will be sculled about the la
COON in the gondolas, and to add to the
charm and enchantment of the scene
the illun1inations in other parts of the
park will be turned out temporarily.
Further, male quartette and q ladies'
quartette composed of operate stars
from New York will sing. And these
will be the White City's Venetian nights
that promise to stand unrivalled in
beauty, joy and enchantment for a long
time.
BY another coupe and the payment
of big bonus to Montreal park the
White City management has stolen an
other march on the .Coney Island man
ager, with the result that Mile. Adgie
and her lions will remain still another
week. This will be pleasing news to
many who have found this wonderful
woman's performance an attraction
which is a magnet to them.

IMPORTANCE OF NUMERICAL SUI
PERIORITY IN WAR. (. p

1t is impossible, we think, to find in
history troops better than the Japa-
nese, more fierce and obstinate in att
tack, more grimly tenacious in defence,
more simple in their requirements,
more unfiinchingly patient under hard
ships, more unconquerable in the face
of obstacles. It may be that. the
French under Napoleon were better
marchers; though even on this score
the performances of the Japanese dur
Ing the movement to the west of Mouk-
den warrant considerable skeptisisnl
as to the accuracy of depreciatory
criticism on this score. But, So far as
our present information extends, no in
fantry from the remote ages, have
done better.
