sLEUTH HAS VERY HARD JOB
In Going TO Ask the Legislature to
Pass New Law Making Burglary
Capital Offense.

Policeman Mccarthy Of the Union
Market station, saw three men loiter-
Ing in the vicinity of Goldstein &
Millinger's jeUelry store on the East
side at three o'clock in the morning.
"Aha!" he says, "Pll sleuth some"
And he did. He hid In a doorway.
Soon he saw two Of the men boost the
third over the front transom.
"Ahai" says he, 'Tn pinch 'em."
But he didn't. The two fed, leaving
the third inside the store, making a
most careful inventory of the stock,
as is done by all burglars in the best
sets.
Come out'r thereI" ordered McCar.
thy, but the burglar merely hoisted
his hand to a position at right angles
with his face, placed his thumb
against his nose, and wiggled his dex-
ter fngers-a most incorporating
position.
Come in and get me, yer big stiff,"
he finally muttered.

ber's fingers continued to sway back
and forth.
Mccarthy got a box and tried to
climb over. He couldn't reach the
transom. The robber advised him
to get a ladder. So Mccarthy got a
barrel and put his box on top OF it.
Thus he managed to reach the tran
som. The burglar encouraged him.
you're doing fine, you big stif,'' he
remarked.
You'll be doing finer when reach

he tried to wriggle in, as the bur-
glar had done. The robber was vol
uble with advice. Move a little to
he left, fatty" he jeered. Keep on
coming, or wait until 1 get some
grease and oil your sides.'
Thus encouraged, Mccarthy came
through until he was amidship-and
then he stuck, for no human being
ever said Mccarthy was sylphlike.
The robber got busy. He collected
nice little missiles Qike Jumps of
coaD and bombarded the wedged-in
Mccarthy.
Come on; yer dom fne." he
feered.
There was a supreme effort, and
with a mighty "Oofi" Mccarthy wrig-
gled through and, like a ton of bricks,
landed upon the little robber.

LAUGHTER AND TEARS.
Why an outburst of tbs One May
Cause a Flow Of the Other.

Why an Outburst of the One May
Cause a Flow Of the Other.
What is laughter and why do tears
30 often accompany it?
On each side Of the throat is an ar
terry called the carotid. At the level Of
the Iarynx this divides. one branch.
which carries blood to the brain, being
called the internal, the other, which
distributes blood to the face, being
called the external These two branches
are joined about the level Of the eyes
by the ophthalmic artery. which forms
q canal between them This commu-
nication is the cause Of the close con-
nection between the brain and the tear
glands, between laughter and grief.
both Of which are generators of tears.
PhysiologicaIly. a burst of laughter
is nothing but a strenuous effort, like
lifting a heavy weight. In both cases
the muscles Of the throat and stomach
contract.
When laughter is excessive the
whole body is convulsed; every muscle
is contracted. In the place of normal
respiration come short intermittent
respirations. insufficient to free the
lungs from the semi-asphyxia pro-
duced by the contraction of the throat
muscles. The face shows the conges-
ton Of the blood vessels Of the head.
Apoplexy may in rare cases result.
These muscular contractions compress
the external carotid. which can no
longer supply the brain with blood.
In consequence this rushes up the in
ternal carotid, which becomes choked
and dilated 1t can stand the pressure
only because the ophthalmic artery re-
lieves it. Taking this route the blood
congests the tear glands, which over
flow.
Tears are exactly the same as the
liquid part Of the blood. So it is
fair deduction that the action of cry
ing is equivalent to certain loss of
blood, which relieves the congestion
of the brain. This is why women feel
so much better after a good cry.
The facial contortions of weeping
persons are caused by the automatic
contraction of such muscles as are
needed to compress the tear glands
and so help to squeeze out the tears

BATTLE OF MARATHON.
The Most Decisive Day In the History
of the World.

The Most Decisive Day In the History
of the World.
The single day in the worlds history
which was fraught with the most ire
mendous consequences to mankind was
the day on which the battle Of Mara
thon was fought The handful of tiny
states that inhabited Greece had de-
veloped faculties which indicated that
man had advanced another stage to-
ward the highest ideals.
Foremost among those little nations
was Athens, which state, too, contain
ed the germs of human freedom. It
was the forerunner Of the democracies
of the world But the very existence
Of Athens and Greece was threatened
by the huge barbaric empire Of Persia.
Darius had sent out his hordes of war
riors to add the Grecian states to his
vast dominions. Face to face his forces
met the Athenians on the plains Of
Marathon.
Hitherto invincible in the field, the
Perslans looked upon the little army
opposed to them with contempt. The
Greeks themselves hesitated to haz-
ard a battle with the conquerors Of
the world. Their generals debated the
question, and the decision to fight the
Persians was caused by the eloquence
of the immortal Miltiades. He led his
10000 Greeks against the Persian host
and gained a decisive victory. The glo-
rious day Of Marathon beat back the
advancing tide Of eastern despotism
and barbarism and saved the freedom
and civilization Of the western world
