A CLEVER BURGLAR.
How He Fooled Man Who Thought
He Couldn't Be Robbed.

"B. p. Hutchinson used to say no
burglar ever could get into his house
without waking him." said central
station detective the other day, accord
ing to the Chicago Record Herald, "but
1t remained for Chief Simon O'Donnell
TO put one over the famous trader
"You know, Mr.. Hutchinson was ia

years ago and was known popularity as
old Hutch He prided himself on the
fact that burglars never had got into
his house and often boasted of the
fact to his intimates. One day while he
was at lunch with Chief O'Douuell and
pany fell to discussing a crime that
had been committed the night before.
"T'd like to see anybody get into my
house. Mr.. Hutchinson said. why, l
hear every tick Of the clock all night
"Tll bet you q dinner for this
crowd, said the chief, that !! can pro-
duce man who will enter your house
and you will not know Of his visit till
morning.
"Mr. Hutchinson accepted the wager,
and it was agreed that he was to let
the chief have a latchkey, so that the
burglar could get in without being dis
turbed by some patrolman. Mr.. Hutch
inson also agreed to leave some article
Of value in the parlor where 1t could
be found readily. The chief said the
robbery would be committed within
the following week.
"Three days later Mr.. Hutchinson
awoke In the morning and discovered
that both sheets of his bed, which had
been in place when he retired, were
gone. So was a little antique clock he
had left on the mantel. He hurriedly
dressed and fastened after breakfast
to the chiefs office. O'Donnell saw him
coming and, MS he entered the office.
greeted him with:
"'Mr. Hutchinson, have two sheets
and a clock that belong to you. We
will have the dinner today
"The burglary was done by former
criminal who at the time had reform
ed. He did the job at the request of
the chief. How did he get the under
sheet? He rolled Mr.. Hutchinson over,
rolled the sheet after him and then
rolled him back"

A C0MICAL LAWSUIT.
Odd Revenge of the Whimsical Count
De Lauraguais.


The Count de Lauraguais was one of
the most singular characters of
whimsical time. He was full of oddi-
ties and had reckless spirit of daring.
The boldness of his language and ac-
tion once drew upon him the dlspleas-
ure of Louis XVI, who banished him
from Paris, but he came back on a
festal day and was seen in the very
face of the court walking about race
course. The king winked at the esca-
pade. Such a culprit was incorrlgible.
But one of the most absurd of his
antics had to do with the Prince D.,
very dull courtier. against whom he
had grudge. One day the count ap-
piled very gravely to a physician, ask
ing if it were possible for person to
die of ennui.
"Such a thing" said the doctor,
would be very singular and very
rare"
but what want to KNOW" said the
count sis whether it would be possi-
ble"
Well" answered the doctor, "a long
continued state of ennui might induce
some disease, such as consumption.
and in that sense it might cause the
patients DEATH
On this the consultation was written
down and signed ut the counts request
and the fee paid.
Next he went to an advocate and
asked whether he could make a legal
complaint against man who by any
means whatsoever had formed de-
sign against his life. The advocate as
sured him that there was not the least
doubt Of ii and in his turn signed a
declaration. Armed with these docu-
ments, the Count de I.auraguais insti-
tuted criminal proceedings against
Prince D., who. he declared. had form
ed the design of firing him to death!
OF course the suit ended in laughter,
but he had had the satisfaction of tell
ing the world how his enemy Impress
ed him.

against witchcraft may be found in
Tunis, Constantinople, Spain, Sicily.

AN OLD pRovERB.
"A Penny Saved Is Penny Earned"

Like most of these wise old proverbs,

forms of it-"A penny saved is penny

twopence got' C'Ein esparter Pfennig
ist zweimal verdient'D and Penny is
penny's brother" C'Pfennig ist Pfen-
nig's Bruder'O. In Spanish, a penny
spared is penny saved" C'Quien come
y dexa, dos veces pone la mesa'O. In
Dutch, "A penny spared is better than
a form gained" ("Een stuiver gespaard
is better dan cen gulden gewonnen'D.
In Danish, "a penny in time is as good
as dollar" CEN SHILLING er Tide saa
god som en- Daler'0. In French, "Sav-
ing is getting" CQui epargne, gagne').
Similarly in German, Saving is a
greater art than gaining" C'Sparen ist
grossere kunst ais erwerben'O. Danish,
money saved Is as good as money
gained" c'Den Penge man sparer er
saa god som den man avler'D. Italian,

COMMENCEMENT ISSUE
Of OAHUAN VERY GOOD

The commencement number of the
Oahuan is out and reflects a great deal
of credit on the members of its edito-
rial staff The cover, drawn by NJ. l..
Heen, is of simple design in the college
colors, but is attractive. The contents
keep well up to the standard set by the
cover.
Among the interesting material to be
found is the last will and testament OF
the class of 1907, and the same is wor-
thy of a lawyer who has been through
a severe trial, in fact, one which has
caused a severe strain on his mental
faculties. The description of the junior
class banquet is very good and the nu-
merous hits at the various members Of
the class will be appreciated by those
who know them.
The magazine is illustrated by cuts
of the school institutions which are I'M
usually good in quality and in the Sc
lection of subjects. 1t is the best num-
Der of the Oahuan which has ever been
published.
