"Nerre—nothing eiiie.”
"Whet is the beet method ?"
"Boldneee. Many a job have I done
right before the eyea of people; done it
joat ae though it waa the regular thing
and I waa jnst where I ongbt to be. I
have had my pal taking tbinga out of a
houae when a -couple of oopa wore walk
ing by, and stood with a pencil in my
hand, keeping tally of the thinga. They
thonght it waa allright, aa I looked right
at them. I tell you a fellow wants to
keep perfectly cool and know what he
ia doing, and what he ia going to do
every time.
"The right kind of men are somehow
lacking. They are either too timid or
too rough. It wants a fine mai, a real
Damaacua blade, to do a neat job. There
“ are plenty of opportunities, if there were'
only the men to All them. But I was
speaking about chanoes. The people
are asleep; you are awake. They are
timid; you are perfectly cool. Tou know
jnat what they will do if they wake
up. They don't know how many are in
the houae, nor where you are. Most
people are cowards in the night. With
out any odds you could get the best of
them, but in the night with the bug
bear and the reality of a burglar in the
house—and they have spent all the years
of their lives in working up a dreadful
fellow in their imagination—in such
a plight a man’s house is like a foreign
land to him, and he is a perfect stranger
to the situation in his own home.”
"How do you feel when you are alone
in a house at the dead of nigkt and
Burning such terrible risks ?"
"There, now, you have got as much
nonsense into that question as they
usually do. In the first place, midnight
ia not the usual hour when a house is ,
worked. Things are not so quiet
generally aa they are two hours later.
• And then, if it were midnight, what of
itf Midnight eioept to cowards is no
different from any other hour, only as it
is a great deal safer for those like us.
Alone in a houae ? It is a little shakj
at timea, but generally safe enough; hnt
that isn’t the way a house is generally I
worked. There should be two, and
three are better. Terrible ripks? We
don't think of it in that light. There is
something fascinating about the risk,
and it isn’t considered objectionable.
What do we think ? How do we feel ?
Now, look here, there isn’t mnoh time
nor occasion for thinking and feeling
outside of the job to be done. Your
sentimental chaps don’t want to be
prowling about nights on any of these
delicate ’rackets.' The man who is go- |
ing to atop in a bedroom of a strange
houae at two o’clock at night to consult
his feelings had better keep out ot the
bedroom. The man who proposes to
enter this profession will want to ran
w<*T7 slow on tho thinking and feeling
line, particularly when he is on duty.”
"How does an operator feel when he
ia confronted by some inmate ?”
"In the first place he feels that some
thing must be done pretty quick. Dodge
’em if you can, but no fooling anyhow.
Do anything abort of killing, if neces
sary. The women are the hardest to
handle, except a man who wakes np cool i
with his weapons handy. The funniest
experience I ever had was whe6~T went ’
into a bedroom one night where there
was one man asleep. I was at the
bureau drawers, and looking into the i
glass I saw him ait bolt upright and look
at me. I turned pretty quick, you may
believe, but he never stirred nor spoke.
I^didn’t mqys after turning round, but
looked at him and he at me. I very
soon bat that he waa not awake. 1
gathered up the swag and walked round
the bed to the door, but his eyes were
on me ail the while. I got out of the
room safely, and he never spoke or after
ward made any disturbance. I didn’t
atay much longer in that house.”—

Mr. Horace B. Olaflin, the great dry

Att> sitting alone in his private office, late
so one afternoon, when a young man, pale
and careworn, timidly knocked and
tered.

"Yes, that’s the Senate side," he said
to a wild-eyed countryman who waa
staring about in quest of that decorous
l>ody. Then turning to the reporter,
"No, it ain’t haunted.”
"It’s not, eh? Well, I thought not,”
replied the scribe, sticking his thumbs
into the arm-holes of his vest and look
ing at the new frieze-work.
"No, it ain’t haunted; it ain’t haunt
ed,” repeated the old man with a low
chuckle. "A man commit toil suicide oH
the rail there one timeTEut it ain’t
haunted.” Then he looked knowingly
at the reporter to see if his curiosity waa
sufficiently aroused. But the scribe waa
admiring the "Baptism of Pocahoutas,”
aad the bidiaaa assumed a mqre eou-
fidential tone. “You remember the man
that jumped oil there ? It ain’t been so
long—about six or seven years. You
know he stood on the rail of the highest
balcony, and, throwing up his arms to
heaven, gave a wild plunge and was
crashed on the iron roof, nearly two
hundred feet below. Well, I guess his
ghost went somewhere, but it didn’t stay
about here.”
"Well, what are you talking about
then?" said the reporter, his interest
getting the bettor of his patience.
"No, it didn’t stay al>ont here,” he
continued, not noticing the reporter’s
mpatienoe, "but some folks think it did,
and it seems kind o’natural that it should,
too. Lots of queer folks go up ou the
dome. I’ve l>eeu here a long time, and
I see lots of them. They go up^there
more m the winter than they do in the
summer—ten to one more. It’s too hot
to climb the stairs in the summer.
There are some who oome every session
with Congress. They come to the
Capitol every day, and always go on the
dome. They are the ‘dome-rats,’ that’s
what I call them. I don’t know what
they go there for, any more than I know
why a church-mouse stays in ohurch.
All the straugers who come here want
to go on the dome, and couples who want
to get off by themselves , of^en go up
there. Yott can see them standing at
every landing, looking out the windows
with a way-off look. Then there are
cranks who go up there to get omger
Heaven.” > S*.*
"Well, yes, I know,” intorraptedithe
reporter, “but what’n all this got to do
with the dome's being haunted? Did
any of these eurions visitors ever ; get
frightened at a ghost up there and "fall
downstairs? Has any one’s hair been
turned suddenly white by the sight of a
specter about to plunge head-long in a
suicidal leap? Where does the ghost
come in?”
"Didn’t I say there weren’t any
ghosts,” retorted the old man, an in
jured expression passing over his face.
"I was just coming to that,” he said, re
covering his good humor under the in
fluenoe of the reporter’s conciliatory
smila_ ‘-‘There ain’t any ghost np there,
but some of these strangers get fright
ened and think the house is haunted. It
all comes of the ‘whisper gallery.’ You
know the ‘whisper gallery’? Well, you
know when people are talking around
on the other side the echoes bring their
voices right close up to you. A great
many strangers hearing these voices and
not seeing any one have jumped at the
conclusion that the place is haunted.
Knowing that a man committed suicide
there, they think that his troubled spirit
still lingers about the scene. As I told

made her morning and her evening remark
day after day, while Mary Maud and Maud

and the foests. Whenever the sounds of
mirth' and’ music from below where loud
enough to reach Trlste’s room at the top of

in lonely fnrnished rooms, with meals at
restaurants. These poor fellows actually

The reporter saw this oelibate, and
got from him his story: He Was living in
a furnished room and boarding at res tan-
nmts. ~ After two yean’of this life he
began to wish for some refined female
society, and accordingly engaged board
in a fashionable boarding-honse in East
Seventeenth street. ' He was somewhat
surprised by the greed with which his

“Oh, he wants a fire, bad luck to him.’

Slowly and sadly the young man in

There is a beautiful story of an
elephant engaged in a battle on
plains of India. Ho was a standard-
bearer, and carried on his huge back the
royal ensign, the rallying point of the
Poona host At the beginning of the
fight he lost his master. The "mahout,’'
or driver, had just given him the word
to halt,- when he received a fatal wound,
and fell to the groand, where he lay un
der a heap of slain. The obedient ele
phant stood still while the battle closed
around him and the standard he carried.
He uever stirred a foot, refusing to ad
vance or retire, as the conflict became
hotter and fiercer, until the Mahratios,
seeing the standard still flying steadily
in its plaee, refused to believe that they
were being beaten, and rallied again and
again round the colors. And all this
while, amid the din of battle, the patient
animal stood straining its ears to catch
the sound of that voice it wonld never
hear again. At length the tide of con
quest left the field deserted. Mahrattas
swept on in pursuit of the flying foe, bnt
the elephant, like a rook, stood there,
with the dead and dying around, and
the ensign waving iu its place. For
three days and nights it remained where
its master had given the command to
halt. No bribe or threat oould move it,
They then sent to a village, 100 miles
away, and brought the mahout’s little
son. The noble hero seemed then to
remember how the driver had kometimes
given his anthority to the little child,
and immediately, with alk the shattered
trappings clinging a* he went, paced
quietly and slowly away.

Californian.
"Jim Flood, worth S100,000,000; he is
a liberal man and a shrewd one. He
has built up ou 8nn Francisco Bay a
new port called Costa City, with mag
nificent store-houses and piers from
which the wood of those rieh counties

Jim Fair is worth perhaps (id,000,000."
Said I: "How in the world did Flood
and O’Brien make such fortunes ?”
"Just in this way, my friend/’ said
Mr. Hyneman, taking np a jjiece of
paper and a pencil, “Flood and O'Brien
kept a saloon, and the drinks were 25
cents apiece. Fair and Mackey were
miners who for some years did not strike
anything very rich. So they gave min
ing stock for the drinks instead of
money. The habit was to walk into the

the drinks and "drink them, repeat and

and walk out The barkeeper made
four marks with a pencil and a fifth
mark across them, signifying (1.25 for
each round. These rounds would go up
to a pretty high figure, but on a certain
occasion Mackey or Fair would say,
‘Well, Flood, we want to make a settle

their mining stock at a certain vajuation

O’Brien put into the safe. Behold I
On a certain day metal is struck in pro

O’Brien open the safe and count the
stock they have it amounts to more than

The little old woman's face was white and

and loud, and saying, “Ho! ho! ho! Rosabrl!
Hosiiltel!" whenever she got a chance be

Marian, who happened to be walking In the
garden, hoard the laughing and came to the
fountain, and when they saw and understood
they prope l Triste lu their arms, crying for
Joy over her, and calling her their beautiful
Rosa.
A n 1 so it was ever afterwards, Mary Maud,
Maud Marian, and Hoeabel were the three
Bisters that lived In the castle. Triste the
Sait was never more heard from. The little
room at the top of the castle was looked up,
and the key !oit former. When Hcsabel

The atiove Is perfectly true in all but the
thin varnish of its setting forth, and.-indeed,
the truth in it has considerably crackled and
rubbed off even that thin coating. Do wa
not all know sad afflicted ones, to whom life
ts a curse on account of painful and deform
ing disease? Best less, discouraged souls, who
say in the morning, "Would God it were
evening:'and in the evening, "Would God
It were morn fug;” dragging out their weary
days with no expectation of anything better
this side of the ffrave.
If Dr. Pierce’s r.oldon Medical Discovery
will do what it claims to do It Is surely a
golden gift to humanity; that It trift do ex

"But what is this plastic material you

"Oh! that ia commonly called the

"But how do you make the sponge?”
"Why, you don’t make it; the cook al

sponge with the thermometer and

A Natural Mistake.—At the Zoo, re

observed lounging in front of a cage con
taining some very fine specimens of
monkeys.
He waa apparently enjoying the
antics of the animals, when, suddenly,
one of the largest stretched forth an
arm, and seizing him by the shoulder
tore his coat sleeve badly.
The dude, uttering an imprecation,
raised his cane to strike the animal, but
the attendant interfered.
"Phat’s the matter wid yez?” he said.
‘Would yez sthrike the loikea of a little
fellow like that?”
"Certainly I weald,” was the angry
response. "Look, he haa ruined my
coat.”
"Ah, poor little chap, he meant no
haram. He must have taken yez for his
long-losht brother and waa lookin’ for a
strawberry mark on your arm.”

I miss you, my darling, my darling;
The embers burn low on the hearth;
And stilled is the stir of the household
And hashed is the voice of its mirth
The rain plashes fast on the terrace,
The winds past the lattices moan ;.
The midnight chimes ont from the minster
And I am alone. t (. -7*
I want yon, my darting, my darling;
I am tired with care and with fret p
I would nestle in silence beside you.
And all bnt yonr presence forget,
In the hash of tbe happiness given,
To those, who through trusting have grown
To the fnllneas of love in contentment,
Bnt I am alone.
I call you, my darling, my darling,
My voice echoes back on my heart.
I stretch my arms to yon in longing,
•And lo! they fall empty, apart.
I wisper the sweet words yon taught me,
The words that we only have known,
TUI the blank of the dtunb air is bitter,
For I am alone.
I need yon, my darling, my darling,
With its yearning my very heart aches:
The load that divide#-ns weighs harder;
I shrink from the jar that it makes.'
Old sorrows rise np to beret ms j ,
Old doubts make their spirit their own.
Oh, oome through the darknees and save me,
for I am alone
