,FLAMBEAU, WIS, June 3.-Last Mon
day, May 25th, when Tom Miller of Big
Bend returned home from Bruce, he
found that his house had been broken
into nd somebody h ad rummaged
through things considerably. He found
that his Winchester repeating rife and
a butcher knife and pair Of shears
were gone. He went next morning to
Tom Jones and told him what had hap
pened. Mr.. Jones said he had seen
stranger go down the river in boat
and that he did not like the appearance
or actions of the man, SO he said, "You
90 right home and see if a boat has
been landed at or near your house, and
if so you go at once to Harry A. Davis
and ask for a warrant to arrest the
man."
Miller followed Jones advice n d
when he got his warrant and got to
Abraham Webb's, the constable, he
found that t he stranger had eaten
breakfast there and had asked how far
it was to FIambeau, and if there was
saloon there. SO Webb and Miller
started for Flambeau. They met VIM.
Diamond, saloonkeeper, and he told
them that their man was then in his
saloon. So they proceeded and found
the stranger there and found the Win
chester with him and the butcher knife
in his boat, and afterwards learned that
he took supper at Elmer Wilson's and
while there dropped a pair of shears On
the floor when he went to take his
handkerchief out of his pocket.
The man was brought before Justice
Davis; he plead not guilty and in default
of bond for his appearance on the fol-
lowing Friday. Mr.. Davis gave the
constable commitment and sent Mr..
Webb and VIM. Diamond with Dia-
mond's team to deliver the stranger,
who gave his name as Thomas Hunter,
to the Hotel Reed at Ladysmith to
await developments.
Now, when the said VIM. Diamond,

FEW KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.
Melancholy Man Thinks He Has Made
Great Discovery

u think" announced the melancholy
man, that | have discovered the Sc
cret of much unhappiness in this
world. 1t is that large numbers Of
people are constitutionally incapable
OF knowing what they want to do"
1T follows he went on with a sigh,
that the things which they are doing
are, very likely, those which do not
appeal to them. They can stop them,
OF course, but what assurance have
they that they will be any better off
the next time?
1T is only by process of gradual
very gradual-elimination that they
can hope to arrive at anything passa-
bly, satisfactory, and even when this
end is attained 1t is more by luck than
by design. The person who really is
TO be congratulated is the man or
woman absolutely sure of what he or
she wants and who goes after II with
every bit of energy that can be sum-
moned up.
Such persons may not succeed in
their aims" the melancholy man con.
cluded, but If they are disappointed
in one set of ambitions they are apt
to take up with another. What a pity
1t is that their enthusiasm and conf
dence are not contagious"

He Looked over" III. House.

Leaving the key of an empty house
with a neighbor in order that likely
tenants may inspect the premises is
common. The owner of a house on
Lexington Avenue, New York, has for
good reasons decided to keep the key
Of his house himself for the future.
Hearing that some one had been
looking over" the house, the land.
lord called on the old woman who
had been intrusted with the key.
well, Mrs. -" he said. 80
you've had party after the house?"''
I'm not too sure" was the reply.
Wants time to think Il over,
maybeg ..l7l ..i. .'..F "a fH
mo. I don't think he does. What
he wants is an opportunity. When
he got the key he went across the
street, and as | heard nothing from
him for an hour or so, | followed:
He'd taken all the door knobs and
every ounce Of lead about the place,
but he'd left the house. Maybe he's
coming back for that. too, as he didn't
return the key"

STILL BEARS FINE FRUIT.
Grapevine Is Prolific, Though a Cen
fury and a Half Old.

Although 1t has been bearing lucious
fruit for the sovereigns of England
for nearly $50 years, the great grape.
vine near Cumberland lodge, Windsor,
is still putting forth fresh shoots, and
looks in better condition at the pres
ent time than it has done for many
years, says London report. Some
OF the punches this year weigh as
much as four or five pounds each, and
the marked improvement in the
strength of the vine is probably due
to the fact that a new glass house,
giving more room and light, has been
erected over it by the kings special
instructions. About 900 punches of
black Hamburg grapes are now hang.
ing from the roof, but in one year,
during the reign of the late Queen
Victoria, 1000 punches we're reared.
King Edward, however, considered this
too many, and the number has since
never exceeded 1000.

Learning 70 Fish.

A middle-aged man created a sensa-
ton the other day at a hte-hying con.
test by appearing with rod and reel.
His kite, attached to a fishing line,
shot heayenward in beautiful style
something really Eddyesque. When It
got up about 300 feet the man passed
the tackle over to his little son, say
ing: There you are, Chester; you've
got a twenty-pound fish in the sky;
play him for all he's worth" It was
pleasure to watch the boy. He would
reel her out" and reel her in" Every
other youngster on the field was filled
with envy. We old fellows know that
a kite will bite and tug and dart and
dive Just like fish; and here is a boy
learning the art Of angling on dry
land, far from boats and dangerous
storms. Splendid sport. Cheap and
manly. And 1t makes good fishermen.
