TWO CASES OF BURGLARY.
Tom Arnue and D. G. Buck Both Re
 lieved of Their Valuables.

There was a burglar abroad some time night before last but no one knew any thing about it until yesterday morning About the same time two men made the discovery that while they had been outdoors sleeping. their trOuser pockets had been ramsacked and everything of value taken out of them.
 The two victims were Tom Argue and b. G. Buck. MT. Argue as usual hung up his trousers in the house upon retiring and slept some distance from where they were hanging. When he went to dress yesterday morning his watch, pocket book and pocket knife were all missing. He estimates his loss at a little over twenty dollars. Some repairs on the Argue house are being made and the burglar had no difficulty in effecting an entrance as the house was left open.
 MT. Bucks experience was very sim liar He undressed in the rear room of the house and slept outside. Yes terday morning he found himself short his pocket book and knife. Fortu- nately before leaving the stable for the night he had deposited most of his change in the safe and the con- tents of the pocket book had been collected after having locked it. He only lost about five dollars and carried

ltNltD A WEAPON
 Al HIS PARTNER
A Dispute Over the Ownership of a Pitcher Begets Trouble in a Cheap Restaurant.

Jesus Vega lies in the county jail waiting for arraignment on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon upon the person of Pitto Lorenzo. who is his partner in comeback restaurant at the corner of Second and Jackson streets.
 Vega is a Mexican and Lorenzo is an Italian and there appears to have been for some time considerable fric- tion between the partners ana racial troubles that came to a focus yester- day afternoon. Lorenzo suggested that one or the other buy or sell out 10 his partner in the biscuit joint. and Vega immediately began to gather together what he claimed was his individual property. When Vega added d pitcher to his collection the Italian entered protest and said that he brought that pitcher all the way from Roosevelt and he did not intend to be dispOs sessed. Thereupon the Mexican flashed from hls clothing a thirty-two revolver and leveled it at his partners head.
 Lorenzo intimated that the Mexican could shoot him if he wanted to. fact which was apparent. but the Italian kept trying to get away as fast as he could. Tom Woods came along at this juncture and Vega thinking him an officer ran out of the back door and hid his gun. Woods demanded il Of him and finally called up Justice John stone, who sent Deputy Sheriff Wayne Davis to the scene of hostilities to make the arrest. The Italian found the weapon hid in some bushes togeth- CT with a box of cartridges. which will be inevidence today. when Vega is ar raigned before Justice Johnstone.

that with him rather than open the safe again for so small an amount MT. Buck is c9nyincsd. that who ever worked dh his trousfrsf must have watched him undress. The burglar managed to get in by cutting hand hole In the front door raising the latch. He then walked through several rooms to where the clothing was hanging and got out again without disturbing any thing in the rooms or making suffi- cient noise to awaken either Mir. Buck or his wife. There is not the slightest clew to the identit-' of the burglar.

The Head of the Table.

In the article on the Glengarry
branch of the MacdonaIds James Lo,
gan, in his THE Clans of the Scottish
Highlands" says:
''At the castle Of Arcs the lords of
the isles held their parliament and
passed the regal DEGREES, which distant
tribes were bound to respect. The sim
pie form in which important rights
were conveyed by these princes may
be illustrated by the following brief
but binding charter, which loses in
translation from the original Gaelic:
L, Donald, the chief of the Macdon-
aids, sitting on the hill of Dun Donald,
give the MacAodh a full right to Kill
mahomag from this day till tomorrow,
and so on forever A lesson was af-
forded by one of these lords which
might greatly benefit some sticklers
for presidency. He had at banquet
been placed by mistake at the bottom
of the table, on perceiving which con-
siderable emotion arose among the
company. who dreaded the conse-
quences of the supposed indignity, but
the great ceanncinnidh (head of his
race speedily allayed their apprehen-
sions by exclaiming emphatically.
Where the Macdonald sits, know We,
gentlemen, that is the head of the
table,"

The Origin of Mr.. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man
was simply William or John-that is to
say, he had only a Christian name
without any kind of handle" before it
or surname after it. Some means of
distinguishing one John or William
from another John or William became
necessary. Mechanics derived from n
mans trade or his dwelling place or
from some personal popularity were
tackled on to his Christian name, and
plain John became John Smith. As
yet there were no ''misters'' in the
land. Some John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk of his fell
lows-became perhaps n landed pro.
prietor or an employer of hired labor.
Then he began to be called in the Nor
man-French of the day the "maistre"
Of this place or that, of these work
men or of those. In the time the
"maistre," or master" as it soon be-
came. got tackled on before his name.
and he became Master Smith and his
wife was Maistress Smith. Gradually
the sense of possession was lost sight
OF, and the title was conferred upon
any kindly mere possession of wealth
or holding some position of more or
less consideration and importance.

Strength of a Bear.

Few people know that Il grizzly bear
can give points to any other carniv-
orOus animal in point of strength. y
grizzly bear weighing just four hun
dredweight has been watched carry
ing heifer of more than two-thirds
its own weight for two miles up the
most steep and rugged mountain side,
and this without pausing one instant
for rest. The grizzly bear is the lar
gest and most powerful of all the bear
tribe, but his cousin, the cinnamon
bear, runs him very close, and the big
white polar bear, though not really so
dangerous a customer, is capable of
performing the most extraordinary
feats of strength.
