Two burglars found in a residence
Ing were cornered as they made an at
tempt to escape The son Of the house
holder grappled with one of the house
breakers, who at once shot. The bull
let grazed the young man and struck
his mother. The burglar wrenched
himself free and with his companion
ran from the house, one of the two be-
ing shot by the son as they made their
escape. The mother is dead, one
housebreaker Is in the hospital and
the other in jail The one who has con-
fessed that he killed the woman and
who knows that his life will be re-
CURED by the law In punishment has
made the following statement: Mr..
Etaber and his sons are the ones to
be blamed for this killing. They were
fools to try to stop such men as we
when all we wanted was to make a
getaway. II we had been left alone
there would not have been any shoot
ing" The impulse of the average man
10 to defend his home as did young
Etaber. If 1t were otherwise burglary
would be more popular as a means Of
livelihood than 1t Is, but there Is truth
in the housebreaker's statement. The
courage Of the man who, unarmed,
attacks intruders whom he must know
to be armed and desperate cannot be
questioned, but frequently his discre-
ton can. A household awakened to
the knowledge that burglars are pack

oectedHo remember all the advice which
should govern In such emergencies, but
many times it will be profitable to re-
member that an indiscreet attack may
cause more serious loss than that OF
property. The professional burglar,
If discovered, has but one desire. That
is to make his escape with as much
of the property as he can carry with
out delaying his departure and with
out hampering his movements, and to
make 1t with as little trouble as pos
gible He will not add willingly to the
seriousness OF his offense by shooting.
This is not because he Is a human1-
tartan but because he has no wish to
increase his crimes and the penalties.
His chances of escape diminish as the
gravity of his offense increases. The
househoIder's courage will not be ques-
toned If he protects his property
without exposing himself uselessly IN
an UNEQUAL conflict.

The Shakespeare Club of New Or
leans used to give amateur theatrical
performances that were distinguished
for the local prominence of the actors.
Once a social celebrity with a gor-
geous costume. as one of the lords in
waiting, had only four words to say:
The queen has swooned." AS he
stepped forward, his friends applauded
vociferously. Bowling his thanks, he
faced the king and said, in very
hieh-pitched voice, THE swoon has
queened."
There was roar of laughter; but
he waited patiently, and made another
attempt:
The sween has cooned."
Again the walls tremb1ed and the
stage manager said, in voice which
could Sbe heard all over the house,
Come of, you doggoned fool!'
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender. and in a rasping falsetto,
as he was assisted off the stage, he
screamed: The coon has sweened. -
