THE TRAPPED THIEF.
A Midnight Adventure With South
American Desperadoes.

In describing certain experiences
among the outlaws and desperadoes of
South America an English traveller
tells the following grisly story:
"One night a farmer was reused
from sleep by hearing unusual and
stealthy noises about the place. He
got quietly cut of bed and, after listen
ing attentively, discovered that some
people outside were cutting a hole
through the door close to the bolt by
which it was held.
1T did not require any great amount
of detective talent to guess the obiect
OF the operation, and the best way to
foil it was suggested by a thong of
rawhide with loop on it which hung
from a hook on the inside of the door
Noiselessly removing the thong. he
slipped the end of it through the loon
and there he stood armed with an i'm
promptu lassO ready for action.
1t was an anxious time while Il.
FARMER stood watching the hole in n.
door grow larger and larger Until i
last it was Of sufficient size to or,
the purpose for which it was nv"
"The supreme moment arrived "ud
hand was stealthily inserted v.- ,.,..
through the hole, but also thY:u.h
loop Of the little lasso which hsl
skillfully around it. With sulCe
jerk the loop was frightened around tn
wrist and the hand dragged in as {.
as the aperture would allow. while fht
thong was securely fastened to the
hook on the back of the door.
"The robber was perfectly helpless
His companions came to his aid and
having Intellectually dragged at the i'm.
prisoned arm till they were tired. gave
up the struggle and prepared to depart
But they were prudent men. and /.
occurred to them to save himself their
companion might betray them. Dead
men, they thought. tell no tales. so
they killed him."-New York Mail

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the
Whole Body-Make You Ill,
Languid and Depressed.

Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of
life-giving albumen from the blood
into the urine, and the substitution
of poisonous uric acid that goes
broadcast through the system, sowing
the seeds of disease. Loss of albu-
men causes weakness, languor, de-
preston. Uric poisoning causes
rheumatic pain, nervousness, nausea,
cricks in the back, gravel and kidney
stones. The proper treatment is kid
ney treatment, and the best remedy
is Doan's Kidney Pills. Great Smyr-
ma cures prove it.
Thomas Davis, Mail Carrier,
living on Main street, Smyrna, Del,
says" both my wife and have used
DOan's Kidney Pills with excellent
results. This remedy proved its
merit and we believe it should be in
every home About twenty years
ago was troubled with my kidneys
and when l first learned of Doan's
Kidney Pills l was severely afflicted.
The action of the kidneys was weak
and frequent and my sleep was
broken at night. My back was weak
and lame and caused me almost con-
stant misery. When l saw Doan's
Kidney Pills so highly recommended
l procured a box at Clifton & Ray
mond's Pharmacy. This remedy did
me more good than any thing l ever
used. Relief came quickly and it
was lasting relief. l cannot praise
DOan's Kidney Pills too highly"

ROBERT FULTON AS A LAD.
Incidents Illustrating the Young Mans
Interest In Mechanics.

There are several anecdotes which
relate to Robert Fulton's early interest
IN mechanics-the first steps of progress
toward his later skill. In 1773. when
he was eight years old, his mother.
having previously taught him to read
and write, sent him to a school kept bv
Mr.. Caleb Johnson. L Quaker gentle
man of pronounced Tory principles-so
pronounced, in fact, that he narrowly
escaped with his life during the Revo-
luton. But Robert Fulton did not care
for books, and he began at a very early
age to search for problems never mas
tered and bound in print. This greatly
distressed the Quaker teacher. who
spared not the rod, and it is said that
in administering such discipline ON the
hand of Robert Fulton he one day tes
tily exclaimed. ''Phere, that will make
you do sOmethingr' to which Robert
with folded arms, replied "Sir. | came
to have something beaten into nv
brains and not into my knuckles."
Without doubt he was a trial to his
teacher.
He entered school one day very late.
and when the master inquired the rea-
son Robert, with frank interest. re
piled that he had been at Nicholas Mil
ler's shop pounding out lead for a pen.
Gil. 1t is the very best ever had.
sir" he affirmed as he displayed his
product. The master, after an exami,
nation of the pencil, pronounced it ex-
cellent. When Roberts mother. who
had been distressed by his lack of ap-
plicatiOn to his studies, expressed to
his teacher her pleasure at signs Of
improvement the latter confided to her
that Robert had said to him. My head
is so full of original notions that there
is no vacant chamber'tO stow away the
contents of dusty books"
These incidents to the contrary, it is
nevertheless true that Robert Fulton
did absorb a good knowledge of the
rudiments of ducatiOn.-Ceutury Mag

WHEELBARROW TRAVEL.
A Common Method of Transportation
In China.

lu Onlnas
"PrObably more freight and more
passengers are transported in China
by the wheplbairOw than by any other
land method" said a Hongkong man
who is interested in the shipping trade
in the far east.
The wheelbarrOw used in China diff.
fers from that used in America in the
fact that the wheel is set in the center
and thus supports practically the en-
tire load, while the handles are SUP.
ported in part by a strap or rope over
the shoulders of the man who operates
it.
AS result the cooly in China will
transport nearly half a ton on his
wheel. WheelbarrOws are much used
in the country. where the roads are but
little developed. and | have heard that
passengers sometimes make the entire
trip from Shanghai to Pekin. dis
tance of GOO miles. by barrow.
"A two passenger barrow will make
about twenty miles a day. and the
cody is content with a pay of about
70 cents day or an average of about
half cent a mile for each passenger.
On the level. well kept streets of the
foreign quarters of such cities as Hong
kong, Shanghai and Pekin the wheel
barrow cody will struggle along with
load of six or even eight people,
