with her two little boys to seaside
hotel. The story had made 4 great
sensation, and there had easucd a
regular epidemic Of Faunt!eToy

Mrs. Burnett arrived no sooner
than she had been expected, but ap-
parently before little Johnny had
entirely completed his course of in
struction in filial courtesy, as was
evident by the sounds which pene-

Tnc Faith of q Celestial.

A Chicago gambler, whose first
name was George, used to visit a
Chinaman's establishment and
smoke opium and gamble almost
daily. One day he rushed into the
place and said excitcdly: Clip, loan
me SO. Thanks. III come in and
pay you tomorrow noon if Pm

money. About 8 o'clock the next

said, clip, where is George today?"

Mir,h OF a Murderer.


With the help of Il little tool, not u1-
like a tin opener, our burglar cut two
long slits-one perpendicular. the 9th
er horlzontal-in the iron shop shutter.
Then he wrenched the flap toward
him, bending it with his powerful
hands us one twists open the lid of Il
sardine tin. Another minute and he
was inside.
Quietly and methOdically he thrust
precious stones and rings into his lit
tie bag. choosing those which besides
being small were of great value. The
bag was all but full when the jeweler
himself appeared at the back of the
shop. He carried n candle in one hand
and a revolver in the other.
The burglar bowed very politely and
said:
81 did not care to pass by an old
friends house without stopping to bid
him good day"
The unsuspecting jeweler allowed
himself to be shaken by the hand,
when, with Il sudden thrust, the bur-
glar stabbed him to the heart.
The bag was rapidly filed to almost
bursting point, and before leaving the
premises the burglar wrote a few
words on a sheet of paper, which he
pasted on the outside of the shop:

family ."-London Scraps.

Professional Etiquette,

An eminent physician had a valuable
COW, which became sick and seemed
likely to die. He asked an Irish serv-
ant who lived with him If he knew
anybody who followed COW doctoring.
The doctors groom said, There's Jem-
my Lafferty, who can cure any cow in
the world" "Well, then,' replied the
doctor, ego for Lafferty." The COW
doctor accordingly came and treated
the brute for four or five days, and
on the lapse of due time he waited on
DR.. Lewis and pronounced her cured.
The doctor, greatly delighted, put his
hand ON his pocketbook. We'll, Laf-
ferty, what do 1 owe you?" "Owe
me" replied Jenny, drawing himself
up with dignity. Nothing, sir. We
doctors niver take money of one an
other"
MY first impulse" said the doctor
while telling the story, was to throw
his fee after him, but on second
thought the whole affair seemed so
ridiculous that 1 bowed him my ac-
acknowledgements with as much gravity
rs l could assume" - London Tele-

Deadly East Indian DueIs.

There are Il good deal of savagery and
stoical disregard of death left in the
east yet despite the advance of civili-
zation, and this extends to the so called

kind of gladiatorial display in the

Ide went ashore at Shanghai for a
drive through the city. The spirited
team was driven by a Chinese and
during the spin took fright and ran
away, dashing into a jinrickisha and
killing two Chinese. The carriage was
overturned, Judge Ide being thrown
violently to the ground along with the
driver. Neither was seriously injured,
but Judge Ide suffered a painful LAGER
alton of his left leg.
