The Greater Danger.

There was never a more conscien-
tious young man than Eben Soule.
and when he found how much alb
sorbed he haG become with the mere
idea of playing in the town band he
consulted his minister 'Do you reckon
I could give up all that time to music
without falling from grace?' he asked
anxiously.
The good old Methodist had saving
sense of humor. He saw that his pa
rishioner was much distressed between
his wishes and his conscience. but the
minister smiled on him nevertheless.
'.It's the horn you're asked to play,
hear" he said. Ever had much ex-
perience with it, EbenY'
s'Never tried it but once, but 1 like
the sound of it first rate" said the
young man.
"M'mw said the minister. "Well,
think you needn't be afraid of falling
from grace on account of it, but I do
hope you'll manage things so your fam
lily and neighbors won't have to pass
through the fiery temptation of hear
ing you practice too often. Eben."-Ex

valuable purse.
The first time the burglar entered

leaving $3.50 in hip pocket of lis
trousers, which hung over the bed. In
another pocket Dr. Rohrer had left So.
About 4 O'clock in the morning the
doctor rolled over in bed and was
startled to find himself looking into
the frightened face of a robber.
HE was well dressed" said Dr.
Rohrer yesterday. HE evidently was
frightened when / rolled over Before
/ could utter cry or jump out of
bed, he threw the trousers in my face
to blind me, and with crash jumped
through the bedroom window"
The screen in the window of DR..
Rohrer's bedroom had been neatly cut,
and through this the burglar had en-
tered.
DR.. Rohrer has just been visited
again in his home. He awoke at
O'Clock. He found his room in dis
order. Hastily jumping out of bed he
caught a f1eeting glimpse of the
burglar again escaping. Ia was the
same man who had entered the week
before, in DR.. Rohrers opinion. The
only property taken was an empty
purse.
When DIR. Rohrer entered his Office,
1872 Third street, the morning of the
first visit by the marauder at his home
he found the door open, and the rooms
in chaotic condition.
The same condition met DR.. ROhrer's
eyes when he came to the Office after
the second visit. Disorder was every,
where. Again nothing of value mad
been taken. But the Office adjoining
his, occupied by G. Rothweiler, had
been entered and valuable gold
watch and chain taken
DR.. Rohrer believes that the man
who entered his house twice is the
man who entered his Office.

Some Meteors.

One of the earliest known meteors
fell in 204 B. G. in Phrygia, where for
long time it was worshiped. 1t was
carried to Rome and was supposed to
be a messenger from the gods. Livy
describes a shower Of meteoric stones.
The people were greatly alarmed, and
the senators were demoralized and de-
clared a nine days festival to propiti-
ate the gods. There is at Mecca a
meteorite which fell in 600 A. d. and
is still worshiped by the faithful.

Growth of Pity.

No one formerly looked on with any
pity or even horror at punishments
which are now found too dreadful for
description Men were broken on the
wheel. were burned at the stake, were
racked. were cut up alive. No one
seems to have felt any pity for their
agonies. Men were put into noisome
prisons, where. with bad air and in
sufficient food. they died unnoticed
and unpitied 1t is very different now.
Human hearts are more tender.

Old Glory Is Everywhere.

For two hours or more the people
lucky enough to have tickets had been
streaming into the hall to find their
seats. Those who came first and got
seated looked for time like animated
GASES in wilderness of chairs. But
the spaces filed rapidly, the operation
of seating the people going on to the
strains of music from bands stationed
at different points in the great audi,
forum. Describe the scene? That is
impossible unless columns were devot-
ed to that purpose. OF course the ma
tional ensign had the chief place in
the decorations. 1t hung fluttering in
the breeze from the lofty roof; it hung
festooned around the balconies; it
draped the open spaces of the walls,
it waved in the hands of everybody.
and it was a favorite decoration pinned
upon the breasts of the ladies, whose
bright dresses had no small part in the
general scheme of color.
