Taking No Chances.

A now well-known author once
drifted down into Arkansas in search
of local color. AS he was "roughing
it," his appearance was not calcu-
lated to inspire the local landlords
with confidence. In one town he was
shown to a room on the third floor,
reached through many narrow and
winding passages. From the one
window it was straight drop to the
ground. Say, how would l get out
of this place in case of fire." he asked
the landlord, who had brought up llis
grip. The other eyed him coldly.
Wall" he drawled, "all yo' would
have to do would be to show Their
night watchman-theo one with Their
shotgun-a receipted bill fob yo'
board an lodgin' an get him to tie
up Their building. "-Bellman.

Portsmouth. Engl.. March pa boy
answering young Marvin's description in
every detail was seen here March 10,
but has since disappeared. The police,
however, are hopeful of finding him. This
boy was seen at the harbor station In
company with two men by Mr.. Phillips, a
chemist The latter was waiting for a
boat to take him across the harbor to
his home at Ryde when his attention was
attracted to the little fellow by the fact
that he continually asked his companions:
''When are you going to take me to my
father" The persistence with which he
reiterated the query struck Mr.. Phillips as
very singular, though he at the time had
not the slightest reason to suppose that
anything was wrong. Mr.. Phillips, when
on the following day he saw a newspaper
announcement Of the kidnapping of
Horace n. Marvin, Jr., recognized in the
description of the missing boy the child
he had seen and reported the matter to
the local police.
