C0MP0UNDING A CRIME
Remarkable Story of a Crime Told by
Reformed Burglar.

Il had no trouble gettln In the house"
said the reformed burglar In reminiscent
mood. 1T was one of the old-faShioned
kind which had not been moGernizcd, and
four-year-old could have opened the
windows. The female party that owned
the house had the reputation of beln,
mighty rich and sunthin Of a miscr, so /
thought there might be good pickins for
me In the way OF old silver and the like.
She had married young man about
year before my visit. who was known to
ee suntnin' of high roller.
The first room struck that seemed
promisin' was the dlnin' room filled up
WITH massive mahogany furniture like
they don't build nowadays | had no
trouble in openin' the sldeboard, where
l found n few real silver spoons and a
blamed lot of plated trash that wasn't
worth carryin' away. / was Just about
to leave the room when out flashed an
electric light and found myself lookin
In patamas held the gun, and his hand
didn't shake a bit He had n business
look in his eye, an when he told me TO
throw up my hands l done so without
no argument.
How much of n haul have you made7'
he asked pleasant / told him only a
few spoons and that 1T was low down
trick to pinch man who hadn't got
enough TO pay for his trouble.
He acknowledged there was a hoss on
me and then asked me II ] was an anna
rousln' the neighborhood. If you have
the materials with you 10 crack a safe
says he why, you an nell divide the
spoils.
II acknowledged that had come pre-
pared to open anything In the hardware
line. and then, with his gun p'inted, he
backed me out OF the room to one adj
Joinln' where there was a safe In the
wall. Then he told me to so to work and
sat down in chair with his pistol turned
my way.
We'll sir to make the story short. I
opened the safe with this pelican superin-
tenden' the job. There was wads o. long
green in n tin box that would choke a
cow likewise diamonds and other
sinners, The boss o. the business sorts
EN- over careful. and when the box was
breastplns and napkin rings and a baby's
silver mug and told me that that was my
ohare, while he pockets the rest as calm
as ye please.
Now, then about face and don't kick.
for this gun Is likely TO go of. says he.
and heads me back to the window
through which I'd entered Git through
there. and be quick about it, SON. he
says, and then. as II to add insult to
inter the back yard ready to choke with
rage"
Tho reformed burglar here uttered some
very unreformed profanity as the picture
OF that night rose to memory.
when Ia got my feet / heard n
pistol go off in the house an yell for
help. and knowed who done It, There was
nothing for me To do but light out 1t
seems that young man was the old partys
and he took this chance TO make good.

How He Worked It.

A tramp entered the shop of a London
baker Although the weather was not
very. cold. he shivered and trembled pit
cously.
"a loaf. please. num-" he said, depos-
iting the money on the counter. The
woman lifted one from a shelf, and, hav-
ing wrapped 1t In paper handed 1t to
him. AS he took 1t he said, with shak-
Ing voice:
"would you please. mum. tell me where
the nearest orspital is?"
The nearest hospital?" she calculated.
Yes, mum, please. I'm feeling very

The Fellowship of Dogs.

I have seen q few wretches in my
day, but 1 never saw one so utterly
lost to decency that he could not be
fiattered by the friendly attentions Of
a strange dog. There is a great lesson
In that. No matter how superior we
try to seem to ourselves and others
a small voice within us VIII not let
us wholly forget what humbugs we
are. In the presence of our kind we
are brazen. The calm gaze of a child
sometimes shakes our self-conhdence; ;
the knowing look of a dog skaters It.;
There is somewhat in brute psychology
that perplexcs the intellect of man and
disorganizes his intuition. Man is so
made that what he cannot understand
exercises grNater influence over him
than that which he can In the pres
enee OF many phenomena he reveals

may abolish It, but If such action is
taken 1t will be purely for financial rea-

Neither will Nebraska reduce the ell

Peking's Opium Dens.

PekIng the capital OF China, Is fighting
the "opium-shop evil" Efforts are being
made TO reduce the number of dens and
to restrict the smoking of the drug and
to curtail the loaflng and vice that ac-
company opium smoking by compelling
each shop to take out a license and to
pay n tax according TO the number OF
lamps" In each shop. The shops are
divided Into four classes and the fees
are graded accordingly from 81 a month
to 20 cents for each lamp, payable on
the 10th OF every month. The recent
proclamation OF the PeknG sanitary do
partment reads follows Opium smok-
ing Is extremely harmful to the health

should really be altogether prohibited, 30
that the people might enjoy more pros
