John Smith's Burglar.
It is an indisputable fact that
it is not well for man to be alone.
Tohn Smith, of this city, will
subscribe to this statement A
short time ago Mr. Smith chanc
ed to be alone over night at his
home in this city, in such a
case it is natural to suppose that
Mr. Smith was a little nervoas
when bed-time drew near.
Before retiring for the night
Mr. Smith made a round of the
douse and carefully fastened all
the doors and windows at least
he thought he did. About mid-
ni?at he was awakened oy a
noise and was absolutely certain
in his own mind that there were
burglars in the house. He arose
and hunted the house over. He
found the front door open and
his worst fears were confirmed.
He locked the door and again re
tired but not to sleep.
No sooner was he in bed than
he heard somebody at work on
the safe where he kept his
papers. Aside from these docu
ments Mr. Smith does not keepany
valuables in his safe and he knew
that at that time there was only
75 cents in cash in that reposito
ry. However, he did not desire to
have a $100 safe blown to
"smithereens" for 75 cents, and
he again hunted the house over.
All was as quiet as a grave
yard. Mr. Smith began to think
that he "had 'em." He became
so nervous over the affair that
sleep was out of the question, so
he sat up the balance of the
night and played solitaire. Day
finally appeared and Mr. Smith j
discovered that a large wood-rat
had been locked up in the bath
room and had been gnawing its
way to -liberty. What became
of the rat is not known, but

getting dawn to particulars.
How does your dobr" yard Took? If
you have never mowed the grass before,
now is. a good time to begin. , If .you
can't afford a lawn mower get a scythe.
There is plenty of moisture to keep your
lawa green up to July if you will give it
a little attention. Why ".not do it? . It
will help the looks of your place wonder
fully, and won't cost any thing but a lit
tle labor. ... ..
How is your back yard? A pretty
good way to judge a man is by his back
yard, you know. Is yours full of old tin
cans, broken crockery, discarded kitchen
utensils, cast off clothing and other dis
gusting clap-trap? Get it in a pile, burn
what is combustible and hire a man to
haul off the remainder. This will give
you a ten per cent boost in the estima
tion of all clean and orderly people, your
self included.
Do you have a Tot of old moss covered
fruit trees in your yards? Trim out the
top, scrape off the moss ; buy ten cents
worth of lime, catch a pail of rainwater,
make a gallon of whitewash and white
wash the trunks. This will improve the
health of the trees and add wonderfully
to the looks of your place.
Do the slops from your house ran out
through a spout in the wall and fall into
a disgusting, disease breeding pool out
side? You had better stop that kind of
thing. If you don't, yon will take your
departure from this sphere suddenly
someday without choice of routes or aay
definite location for the future. An
Eastern man will-hold his breath and
run till he gets out of range of such a
nuisance. You couldn't live in the
same ward with it anywhere except in
Oregon. Better connect with the sewer;
it's cheaper in the long run. If you can't
afford to do this, or are not properly lo
cated for it, you had better carry off your
slops and not let them farm a menancing
pool.
