They've Got to Be Defaced, Mir. Foozlehead, and That Imme-

put you into jail. Foozlehead will not ogly get judgment against you for sum of damages because you haven't finished his wall, but will also obtain an injunction or interdict against your touching, damaging or removing any part of the wall that you have built. lf in obedience to the county councils order. you break up the wall, and re- move the milestones you will be guilty of breach of FooZle's interdict for which imprisonment is the only pen alty. In either case, 1 don't see how you are going to keep out of jaR.'
 But that is mOnstrous,' said Jones.
 Probably it is I said, in any case if we can't settle we must do our best l see that both cases are to be taken before Judge HoityToity. In that case we must at once get Snookem. He's great friend of Toity's, and gen. erally wins his cases before ToityT
 I at once retained Snookem, but Snookem's clerk returned the fee With the intimation that Mir. Snookem was retained by the other side A settle ment was found to be impossible, and at last. after nine months duelling, Lord Hoity-Toity delivered judgment in both cases against Jones.
 He was very severe on Jones. and described him as interruptions, avaricious and untruthful person, who had in the most questionable manner wormed himself into the confidence of a trusting and generous old man, and returned that trust and confidence with treachery and ingratitude. He accordingly ordained Jones, in the one case to either remove or deface the stones within one week, and in the other suit found Foozle entitled to 300 pounds of damages, and interdicted Jones from removing, damaging or Gs- facing any part of the wall he had built.
 Of course the papers were full of Jones cases, and his lordship'5 severs condemnation of Jones' moral conduct, to the continent till public opinion about him had settled a bit
 To prevent Jones being arrested OF his return, I instructed Bent to take half dozen men with him some dark night and obliterate the inscriptions on the offending milestones, and this adventure was carried out successful ly. All that was now necessary was to pay costs and damages. On the day after his return Jones called on Ho with a cheque for this purpose.
 T am thinking" he said. 'of giving up business and becoming highway. man. Burglary is bit common. A motor car, black mask and pistol or two should help me to work up a good road business. Now I am doing this solely to retrieve my lost reputa- tion for integrity, and l fully expect when I am ultimately caught to be dismissed from the bar without 2 stain on my character"

poa That Climbed Trees.

Can dog climb tree? A cores pondent writes: While on a walk on snowshoes in New Hampshire we tracked porcupine to balsam fir, in which it had taken refuge. My Scot tish terrier climbed the tree, pulling herself up from branch to branch to a height of about seven feet, where a space of bare trunk separated her from the porcupine, which had watch ed her prgoress with -evident alarm. The terrier made several intellectual attempts to scale the smooth bark and finally jumped down into the snow" And of another curious trait the same writer continues: This lit tie dog and her mate, now dead, though enthusiastic fire worshipers at home, never sat near the bonfires built at luncheon or tea time on win ter walks, but dug holes in the snow at a little distance, in which they curled themselves up after the man. ner of their primitive ancestors"

A s4o,ooo TREASURY ROBBERY.
Claver Work of Detective Revealed
 the Thief.

The robbery of the sub-treasury in Chicago recalls the fact that the treasury department in Washington was the victim of $40,000 theft about 30 years ago. At first, although no reasonable explanation of how the thing could have been done by an out sider could be given, it was assumed that it was the work of some one un- connected with the office in which the robbery occurred. It was not long, however, before clever detective became acquainted with the fact tha. one of the clerks who might have had access to the bundle of bills was ac- quainted with a professional gambler of shady antecedents. That discovery solved the problem. A little patient watching resulted in catching the gambler with the stolen notes, and the rest was easy The clerk was ar rested, and, while in confinement, was given to understand that he was be- trayed, whereupon he confessed the robbery, which was accomplished by showing the package of notes, all of large denominations, into position where they could be ''snaked up" with cane provided with hook.

 Think" I replied, q think you are sure to lose both cases and would recommend you to settle. You have common sense on your side, but that's nothing. Here is the by-law-'Any person who erects, constructs or places any finger post or milestone on any public road, without the sanction of the council shall be liable in a pen alty of five pounds for each offense, and shall be bound to remove the sane at his own charge There you are. You are any person. AS to Foozlehead's action-there you. o3n signed agreement which will compel you to finish the wall as Foozle wants it. The situation is a bit complicated no doubt, and this is how it will prob ably work out. The county council will get an order from the court com polling you to remove those mile stones.

Maine Woman Has Pet Deer.

Mrs. Nellie Smith, or Sebec, Me. has a tame deer which is aearly two years old now, but which she has raised ike cosset lamb. feeding it from a bottle at first and making a great pet of it. It was given 70 her by a iumberman, who overlook it in the deep snow and caught it in his arms when it was no larger than cat, except for its legs. It has always been perfectly tame and domesticated. never having known anything of the wild life of it's kind, but runs about the premises unrestrained. having it's place in the stable on cold nights. The deer are numerous around Sebec, and it is a question whether, as Mrs. Smiths pet grows older, it will not answer to the 'call of the wild" and join it's comrades in the forest

Corporal Frank Hayden, of the army recruiting station, who spent year of army service in China. says 1t is a good country to Soldier" in. The worst thing about China and the islands he said, lis :ha. there's no one to associate with except the natives. Otherwise they're good places, China especially, to do mili- tary service. Food of good quality is very cheap. We could buy 175 eggs there for 50 cents American money or one dollar Mex Ten cents would buy fine fat chicken and 60 cents a good sheep. The Chinese are good cooks anG we could employ one for very little money over his Soarl."- Kansas City Times.
