Last Warning.

Pay your tax at once and avoid
penalty. Don't wait until last days,
as the collection of the school tax
makes it necessary to keep two sets
Of books and write two receipts,
hence we can only wait on half the

merly done on the last days All
property on which taxes are rot
paid by Dec. l, will be advertised.

DISCIPLINE.
London Athenaeum.

The Way sinks Tried 1t on His Six
months old Baby.
Binks had sent Mrs. Binks on a visit
to her mother and he was Oh the job

In the night the baby woke and
cried. Binks looked at his watch
three.quarers of an hour till bottle

Let him yell He's healthy little
Indian. and he must be disciplined"
Then Rinks tried to sleep
But Binks couldn't sleep Every cry
grew more pathetic and abused and
heartsick and discouraged Each cry
said more and more plainly: Il have
no friends or relatives. I'm unhappy
and uncomfortable and want some one
to be good to me-"
But Binks. the stubborn and stir

stabbed him clear through.
Finally maybe he set it forward a

The answer is given that nothing is
known Of the author. 1t is true this
poem was published with only the mi
tials of the writer in the University
Magazine 10 1879. But hold the
manuscript Of the poem. and have

any harm in giving his letter to the

Dominus illuminate mea-
In the hour of death, after this life's
whim.
When the heart beats low. and the eyes
grow dim.
And PAIN mas exhausted every limb.
The lover of the Lord shall trust in him.
When the will has forgotten the lifelong
aim.
And the mind can only disgrace its tame.
And a man is uncertain of mis- own name.
The power OF the Lord shall ill this

When the last sigh is heaved and the last
tear shed.
And the coffin is waiting beside the bed.
And the widow and child forsake the
dead
The angel of the Lord shall lift this head.

The power must fail. and the pride must
fall
And the love Of the dearest friends grow

BURGLARS TOOLS.
Most of Them Made by Supposedly
Respectable Mechanics.

kGSpeCtaDie MeCnanISs'
Every little while. said a detective
recently. the police arrest a man with
a set Of burglars tools in bis possess
sion, and one naturally wonders where
they al, come from.
1t is easy TO buy n gun Of any de-
scription. and the most reputable per
son would not be ashamed to be seen
purchasing the most wicked looking
knife ever made But who would know
where TO get a jimmy or a device
for drilling into a safe or any of the
many tools used by the professional
burglar IN the pursuit of his calling:
There are places in the large cities
where these things are made and sold
70 the users. but such places are ex-
ceedingly scarce. II may seem little
strange 10 learn that most of the tools
used in burglaries are made by me-
chanics who are looked upon as re-
spectacle men in the community.
When a burglar wants any particu-
lar tool made be goes to a mechanic
who can do the job and pays him per
haps Eve times what it is actually
worth for making the tool and keeping
quiet about it. Many detectives can
recall cases of this kind that have
come to light.
One in particular occurred some
years ago when an escaped convict
named Williams went to a blacksmith
and got him to make lot Of drills to
be used IN safe cracking He person
ally superintended the tempering OF
the steel but when the job was nearly
completed it leaked out. and Williams
was arrested. IN this instance the
: blacksmith knew nothing Of the use TO
. which the tools were to be put. Most
of the tools used by burglars are So
cured in the same way. philadelphia
