A burglar who entered a Harlem
house recently suffered unique form
Of punishment. 1t happened that the
family he had come to rob were incon-
veniently early risers, and before he
had half finished his work he heard a
step on the stairs. Quickly gathering
up his booty, he slipped behind the pi-
ano, intending to make good his es-
cape as soon as opportunity offered.
But opportunity did not offer, for 1t
appeared that the step he had heard
was that of one OF the daughters of the
house, who had come down to the par
lor for a couple Of hours piano prac

finished another daughter was stand

by biographer of the German emper-

are too young to resign. Indeed IL
your blood didn't course through your
veins quite so fast you would be a
more useful army leader"
On the evening Of that day the kaiser
and the general met at court ball.
The general was talking to some young
ladies.
"Ah, Meerscheldt," cried the emper-
or. that Is right. Get ready to marry.
Take young wife, then that excit-
able temperament Of yours will soon
vanish"
The general bowed low as he re-
torted:

would be more than I could possibly

In one year the people Of Chicago

7,141,31G pounds of diseased meats.

not for the activity of the city health

According to the report Of DR..

sioncr. the government inspectors have
been dcrelct I'm their work and for
years Chicago markets have been vend-
ing stuff that Is unfit to eat.
In one week, ending Nov. 1S. this
Is what the city inspectors condemned
and destroyed:
Two hundred and eleven cattle. o..
$50 pounds: III hogs, 12G.6G2 pounds:

Of meats. fish, fruits and vegetables.
Three lots OF hams and bacon,
weighing 3,625 pounds, were condemn.
cd by the inspector at the wholesale
markets before 3 o'clock a. m. This
material had been sent to Chicago
from st. Louis and Omaha, having
been rejected there.
Suit has been entered against eight
markets for violating of the ordinance
which forbids the hanging or exposing
of dressed meats on the street.
DIR. Whalen sums up the results
achieved by his department from the
time city inspection was resumed as
follows:
Since Aug. Z the weekly condcmna.
lions of unfit food have averaged 1877.
200 pounds Of meats, fish, poultry. etc,

The principal causes Of meat con.
