Half century ago. Rev. FIR. John
O'Brien of Lowell, Mass, through
overwork and exposure, became seri-
ously run down. A cold and stubborn
cough and lung trouble threatened his
life. An eminent specialist gave
Father John, as he was fondly called,
a prescription to cure the cold and re-
move the lung trouble, as well as to
build up and strengthen the body.
The clergyman began to improve at
once, the cough disappeared and his
lungs healed. 1t corrected his diges-
ton, made new tissue, and Father
John was soon restored to his former
health and strength.
Father John recommended the
medicine to his parishioners and ms
friends, and because of its merits it
became the family remedy in thou
cands of homes, and became known

 The only sound that I could hear as I stood there was the beating of my own heart Evidently no one was awake. The light doubtless was from solitary gas jet or night lamp which had been left burning, and instead of a hindrance would be help to me in my self-appointed mission.

 But 1t was too late to retrieve my error or retreat.

 An, glad to meet you! I've been expecting you for some time"

To Preserve Zack Taylor's Tree

Passengers on the new railroad which has been built through the most southern part of Texas are able to catch fleeting glance of one of the most historic landmarks on the lower Rio Grande border as the train passes by. Standing like a sentinel in a large cattle pasture short distance from the railroad is a live oak tree with widespreading branches under which Gen. Zachary Taylor was oamped for several days while ou his way to fight the Mexicans in tho lat, ter '4O's.
 It Is now planned to inoIoss tho tree with an ornamental fenos snA to beautify the spot. The first h>taIe of the Mexican war was fought by Con. Taylors army and a force of Mexaoans at point about 86 miles south of here. This battlefield has lust been converted into an irrigated farm. Tn clearing and blowing the land many cannon balls and other relics of the nght were found.

From Burglar s
 Note Book

had retired-as I thought, perman- ently-but the old yearning for gain and adventure had swept me from my moorings, and I was once more on the road making little professional tour and meeting with the usual nocturnal adventures and varying degrees of success, when. one gloomy night. I inadvertently committed the fatal mistake which brought to a sudden termination
 But l will not anticipate.
 It will be better to relate the hap penings of that ill-starred night in their proper sequence.
 Standing we'll back from the high way, on slightly eminenee, in the
 kirts of thriving village, I had
 B large mansion, with we'll
 awns, extensive grounds, and other external evidences Gas viewed from a distance), of being the abode of wealth and luxury.
 I naturally supposed 1t to be the country residence of some million aire, and although the owner doubt. less was not expecting a call from me, l resolved to extend to myself the freedom of his luxurious abode at the earliest opportunity and carry off, if luck permitted, few specimens of plate and other souvenirs of the oc. casjon.
 So the first dark night, armed with the necessary tools and my trusty re volver, l strolled out to the neighbor- hood of the imposing mansion along about midnight, and greatly to my sur prise found no trouble whatever in making my way into the grounds. There was a large iron gate at the entrance, but 1t was not locked. nor was there any watch dog on guard
 When l reached the house I saw what l had not before noticed, that there were heavy bars to all the win dows. This struck me as strange, but some wealthy householders have peculiar notions, and I chuckled to myself at the idea which the owner of this place evidently entertained that the window bars furnished an added security to his valuables. Just as though genuine housebreaker minded such trifle as half-inch wrought iron bar!
 Selecting convenient window I produced chilled steel saw from my kit of tools and made short work of the bars. Then prying open the win dow catch with thin knife blade, de- signed for that purpose, cautiously raised the sash and crawled inside.
