NEVER FIGHT WITH BURGLAR
Upset Chair and Brighten Him Away That Is the Advice of a City
 Policeman.

Don't ever hunt a burglar. Make a noise and frighten him away. Upset chair or slam a door.
 Almost all burglars carry reYoly. CTS of the finest kind. A pete man or safe blower. the most dangerous kind of criminal, usually carries an automatic revolver, as 1t gives the quickest action.
 Every householder should have g weapon in the house, but he should never use it unless to save his life.
 Tt Is the inexperienced man whose use of the revolver makes it danger. ous. ..I..
 A professional or expert burglar will never shoot unless to avoid cap ture. safe blower will shoot at 6 policeman or any intruder, as for them capture means long term in prison"
 Special Officer Edward Brophy, an expert, made these statements, says the Pittsburgh Post. It is only on the very rarest occasions that be can be induced to talk about himself, but it' is q fact that he Is a crack shot with pistol. He has made a study of weapons. and has collection of them at his home ranging from little baby hammerless" revolvers to huge Win chester rifles. a shot from which will move heavy safe. He has always been interested in guns, and has ta ken special pains to learn about the guns burglars and other criminals carry.

DICTIONARY MAKERS AT FAULT
Some Notable 5iunders, With EIe-
 phantine Efforts at Wit, Have Been Put on Record.

Dr. Johnson perpetrated many Jokes in his dictionary, but among his most famous blunders was his definition of ''pastern" as "the knee of a horse"
 The dictionary makers often took occasion to make their definitions hit their enemies. Wesley defined Meth. odist" as "one that liveth according to the method laid down in the Bible" Dr. Johnson defined oats as "a grain which in England is generally given 10 horses, but in Scotland supports the peopls." He defined "pensioner'' as "a slave of state, hired by a sti. pend to obey his master" which deh milton was made much of by the doc tors enemies when he himself Was awarded a pension.
 Bailey's dictionary defined the Lo- riot or Golden orlole as "a bird that, being looked upon by one who has the yellow iaunoics, cures the person and dies himselfT Fenning. who was the next dictionary maker, was afraid of this, and merely said "Loriot, a kind of bird" But one of the best bits of transformation was given in the die tonary of Edward Philips, who in one place declared that "a gallon is a measure containing two quarts" and in another place declared "a quaver is a measure of time in music, being the half of crochet, as a crochet is ;ne half of a quaVer," which leaves the subject ss clear as mud.
