Hands Off.
A farmer was going through an
art institution where a number of
models of ancient Greek sculpture \va9
exhibited. He noticed that on each
one hung a placard saying, "Hands
Off." "What 'n thunder do they have
to tell ye every time that the bauds
is off?" he exclaimed at last. "Do
they reckon wo can't see it? An' why
don't they never say anything 'bout
the arms and legs bein' off, too?"

Harmful Insects.
From a composition on "Harmful In

Information: "The chie* insects harm

stroy their breathing places."

Carlyle and Ceremony. i
Thomas Carlyle and his wife were
so wedding-frightened that It is sad 1
to think of it. Replying to a letter i
of his describing his fantastic terrors,
she wrote: "For heaven's sake get i
into a more benignant humor, or the
incident will not only wear a very <
original aspect, but likewise a very
heart-breaking one. I see not how 1
am to go through with it."
Shattered.
He was a Hollander, just arrived in
this country to seek his fortune, and 1
he had much difficulty in regulating
his pronunciation, and at times his
words were almost unintelligible to
his host's small boy, who sat In a cor
ner of the room, somewhat mystified,
at last the Hollander departed, and the
small boy said to his father: "Daddy,
Is he a broken Englishman?" .

VISITS OF BURGLARIBUS
By FRANCES DE WOLF FEN
WICK.
Clytie put a dab of sepia on her
canvas, drew back, brush, in hand, and
surveyed it critic
ally. Then she
turned around?
"That's right!"

which in this caso .
happened to be a j
pistol. "One yell
and you're a dead
woman."
The yell died in
her throat. Clytie
stood like a stone (
column.
"Y o u b e don't .
seem . pleased ter !
see me!" her vis- !
itor ventured. ,
"I'm not," Cly
tie answered, sue- ,
cinctly.
Burglaribus opened his mouth and .
eyes simultaneously.
"Youse 've got a steady head on
yer," he remarked. "But that ain't ,
wot I came here ter say. Were's yer ,
dough?"
"I haven't any."
"Here now, none o' that," her visitor
said threateningly. "Out with it. I'm
a desperate character, I am, and I'm
willin' ter take chances. Bring out yer
cash or?"
"My good man," Clytie responded
patiently. "I can't bring out what I
haven't got. Shoot me if you feel in
clined. There are people in the next
studio, you know?men. They'd rush
In the minute they heard the explo

Pjjrtrlori'Kiia lnworoH Q Tl H
looked at her Intently.
"Youse 've got a head on yer, as I
Bald," he remarked. "But etranglln'
don't make no noise, an' I reckon I'll
just hev' ter choke yer'till yer feel
like tellin' me a little i more." He
moved toward her.
"Hold on!" said Clytle firmly. "I,
don't see any fun in being strangled.
But truly there's hardly any money In
the room?only nine dollars and
seventy-eight cents altogether, and It's
In that little safe underneath the table.
But you can't open it yourself?"
"No, but youse kin open it for me,"
Burglaribus responded.
He laid his pistol down, leaned his
elbow on the table, and watched Cly
tie with calm interest as she-stooped
for the little safe.
"See," she said,, kneeling aad hold
ing it toward him, "just feel! .Isn't It
heavy?"
Burglaribus "hefted" the eatfe. The
next moment his head came* In con
tact with the hard-wood floor of!the
Biuaio?ana wnen ne recovered, ma
balance he waB alone. Cltytie had
frantically grabbed his rood frightJleg,
yanked it from under him,/then ,had
rushed to the door and si. Jimed'ltl be
hind her. . Burglaribus, sv-earlng ^ter
ribly, rubbed his aching head 'and
looked for a way of esce;pe. Iftit it
was too late. The studio doc.r was
Hung open and the "men" Hn tho "next
studio" rushed in.
Burglaribus was promptly I nabbed
and escorted to a police* statloi a.
For the next fortnight Clytie was
besieged by interviewers of all kinds
and sorts. She sold serveral sm all pic
tures at prices which made h? r wish
that a sneak-thief or so would vfislt her
weekly, and with thetproceedsl of^one
of them took a few> lessons ?in self
defense.
She became quite'an entb/usfiast on
the subject, and acquired se.vera 1*.real
ly clever tricks, then Bettk?l do?wn to
her painting and gradually/ forgotrher
sudden rise to prominence. SJhe was
painting and whistling ga'fly?onp*morrn
Ing when the door behir^d her ^opened
Boftly.
She turned and beheld a Imiddle
aged stranger of sinister aspect. He
regarded her for a mftiute in silence*
then put his hand In his hip poctet
"Another one!" she gaspedl, plung
ing into the adjoiningptudio. "Oh, an
awful-looking beast Get himj quick."
The three men 'promptly "dropped
their pipes, gossip.fetc., and ljushed to
the rescue, Clytie followed.
"Confound, you!*' yelled Bucrglarious
the Second., "Call this a free ^country?
Are you fell lunatics here? Can't a
man call on his relatives, \sflthout be
ing knocked down and ' wjallied on\?
Can't he?"
At the word "relatives'^ the men'
Blackened their / hold and ^looked at
Clytie.
"Why," sald#Clytie,. amrtzed^and in
dignant, "you, don't suppose a silly
bluff like tha!t will help* you. You
know I'm no relative of,'yours. > Oh,
don't let him get his pifrtol."
"Here," be howled as Clytie's
knights promptly collar ed him afresh,
"one of you jackasses nut your hand
In my pocket and get^ my card-caee

Yhe brother?arti6t?{7id' as requested,
and produced, a silver card-case from
which he drew fonth a card bearing
the nam j "JehuiN. SVooJston,* Scantl
gr?ase. Cragon."
"Why,. Woolston 'was/ mv mother's
name," said Clytle faintly.
"Th-at young^idiotte mother'was my
cousin," said Jehu "Woolston wrath
fully. "I've made my -pile outi West,
and as I've no ne;ir Telative >of my
own, it struck .me that I'd corme to

DAN AND NINETY-THREE
; By DAY ALLEN WlLLEY. ?
?
It was in a diviaion dispatcher's of
ice of the B., Q & R. railroad, and the
party was a group .
3f engineers who
were having a
quiet smoke and
chat over old
times, while wait
ing for orders totf
Btart out. ^
"Boys," said onef;
of them, "d'youj?.
remember old Danrf
Reynolds?"
"Guess I do,"-r
3 a i d another.
"When I was flr
ln' on the Susque
hanna division,
Dan was haulin'
coa! t* ains. It
was SLid that be?'
novar Tirfla lrnnWTli
to get stuck on aggrade. Used to pull
the heaviest trails on the road, too,
with that old'Nloety-tluee of his."
"I've often heard about him," said
another. "They uced to say he
thought more off'his engine than a
wife, and that rather stay on It
than go to a hotel"
"That's so, Bill;'yoti're right there!"
exclaimed the oldestxrae of the party,
as he knocked the ashes from his
pipe. "Dan Reynolds would always
stay by his engine under all circum
stances, though hefnever had a smash
up or killed a man. I remember one
time he stayed, andtl sha'n't forget It
as long as I live.
"We had rhree-engines on. Old Dan
with Ninety-three was 'head. Then
came Jim Barton with One-hundred
and-eighty, and then me. Before leav

some passeng rs "who wanted to catch
a steamer next day at Pniladelphia,
and for us to connect at Harrisburg,
if it was possible.
"Well, we went along, runnin' with
about two feet of enow on a level.
For over thirty miles we didn't have
much trouble. Finally we came to
the 'Broad-cut.'
"The snow fills in there four and
five feet, even when the wind isn't
blowin' at all. Suddenly Dan blew
for brakes, and we stopped.
"Then I saw the conductor go up
to Dan and commence talking to him,
Dan shakin' his head. I found out
afterward that the conductor wanted
him to give up tryin' to go through on
account of the'drifts, but the old man
wouldn't hear to it.
"Then the conductor got aboard,
Ninety-three whistled twice, and we
started with a full head of steam. It
didn't seem as-though anything could
stop us, and nothin' did for most a
mile. All at - once we slowed up and
stopped. I had my throttle wide open,
the sand-pipe open, and the drivers
went around so that the sparks flew
up to the cab-windows. But it was
no go.
"I got out on my tender and looked
round. Everything was snow and the
drifts were as high as the cab-win
dows.
"I could see old Dan in his cab try
In' to back his engine. One hand was
on the throttle and the other on the
lever, his cap was off and his gray
hair and grizzly beard was blowln' in
the wind.
"We took the flre-shovels and man
aged to dig a path alongside the train
so that the passengers could get out
to the end of the drift. Then every
body but Jim and I started for a
Ismail town, a couple of miles back on
the road.
"We went up into Ninety-three's
cab, and there sat old Dan barehead
ed, just as he'd stopped work.
"Says I: 'Come on, Dan, pdt on your
cap; we're goin' back to Blossburg
and wait for help. The storm's comin'
on heavy, and you'll be covered up if
you stay here!'
"The old man lifted up his head and
said: 'Boys, I don't go back to any
town. I made up my mind to get this
train through, but I can't do it. It's
the first time I was ever stalled in my
life. But 'tain't the old machine's
fault, and she feels it as much as I do.
She and I'll stay together now, if it
.enows a hundred feet deep.'
"I knew 'twas no use arguin' with
him. He'd stay, if lie made up ma
mind to, and so we left him sittin'
there. By this time it was after mid
night, and the snow came down thick
and fast, but we finally reached the
(town. Next morning we all shouldered
nhovels and got on the wreckin' train
vhich had been sent from Pittsburgh.
"We came to the cut, but nothin'
was to be seen but snow. Engines,
cars, and all were buried in it. We
finally reached where the train was
and commenced to dig around it.
"At last we saw the head engine. I
climbed up and pulled back the cab
tcurtain. The old man was still there.
'He was kinder standin' up and leanin'
forward, lookin' ahead the engine as
he always did when comin' into the
station.
"One hand was on the lever and
the other was at' the throttle, but all
the valves were closed, the fires out
and the cab half full of snow from
the windows, which were all blown
open.
"I looked in his face and?" here
Ithe speaker's voice dropped nearly to
* n-ii iciior?"hnvs. I saw that old Dan
Reynolds had made his last run."

Better Let Her Cry.
A woman is almost as peculiar as a
man. She will break Into tears, and
the more she is urged to cheer up
the more she will cry. But if some
one tells her to go ahead and shed as
many tears as she pleasee, she will
at once quit crying and speak her
mind.?Atchison Globe.
Delicate Question.
"The interrogation 'Where did you
get it,' causes me much less appre

don't she take the whole boy?"

Only Way to Keep a Secret.
