Iu the midst of our tea drinking In the little Parisian restaurant, says Miss Betham Edwards In nil account of "Home Life Hi France," a gcntle- tnnuly Individual wearing a tall hat and fro<Ji coat entered and, qfte_£ a short colloquy with the young master, passed out. "Yon would never Kuess that geutlc- ninn h errand." Marcel said, smiling, ns lie resented himself at the tea table. " lie looked to me like a rather dis tinguished customer," I replied. “Home government functionary on half pay or an owner of bonds." Marcel smiled again. “That well dressisl gentleman, then, supplies ns with toothpicks, which his wife makes at home, lie calls ouco a month and takes our orders.

In a Nitroglycerin “ Hill.” Faceinatfon of Burglary. "My champion burglar." said Mr. Holmes, the police court missionary. “Is u bookbinder by truire. who has been In Jail on and off for half a cen tury.” Mr. Holmes* ramifications with this chronic breaker of tho law constitute an Instructive scene from Ills work. He Itehaved to the erring bookbinder quite us a brother; the umu had the entree of the house and cujoyed the friendship of the family. How was he In the habit Of repay lug this hospitali ty? By going out to burgle. Twice Mr. Holmes set him up, but lu vain. The only charm that life has for this extraordinary being is the opportuni ties it vouchsafes for committing bur- glury. "Why on earth don’t you leave off burglary?" Mr. Holmes asked him once. "Mr. Holmes," was his reply, "there’s no fascination lu the world to equal It. The silence of the night, the element of danger, the need of keeping every sense on the alert— It’s grand.”— Cassell’s Journal. -1 i.'-’-'i-1 — ST A T EM EN T of the condition of the Stayton State Bank at the close of business on Feb. 6th, 1908. ♦ Oh, Rosenberg. dear Rosenberg.

It often falls, especial ly when It fulls on a perfectly smooth surface where tho claws cun get only n slight hold. A flea has six legs, whose great length and hulk make them so heavy that they must lie a great help In keeping their owner right side up when It makes one of these gigantic Jumps, nml when It lands up side down or In some other way Its ability to kick Is so great that not more than one wriggle Is needed to set things right. A flea’s wings are mere »< ;;ies and of no use: hut, small and worthless ns they are. they tell the entomologist something about the proper classification of the insect.
