Administrator's Notice. ,
Notice is hereby given that the under

do ceased, by the County 'Court of l'olk
The landlord of the inn where be
was lu the habit of dining discovered
on a table a piece ot paper on which
were written some unintelligible
phrases and below in a plain, bold
hand. "Here I will kill the king."
The landlord consulted with the chief
of police. Clearly this clew to a con
spiracy ought to be followed up. The
person who had left the paper had al
ready been remarked for his absent
air and gleaming eye. That man waa
l'echanlre.
The chief ot police instructed the
landlord to send for him the next time
the conspirator came to dinner.
When i'echaiitre was shown the evi
dence of his guilt he forgot the awful
charjre against him and exclaimed:
"Well, I am glad to see that paper.
I have looked everywhere for it. it
is part of a tragedy 1 am writing. It
is the climax ot my best scene, where
Nero Is to be killed, it comes in here.
Let uie read it to you." And he took
a thick manuscript from his pocket.
"Monsieur, you may finish your din
ner nnd your tragedy lu peace." said
the chief of police, and he beat a hasty
retreat.

The Cautious Kind.
Before the customer paid his hill the
hotel stenographer tore several pages
out of ber notebook and handed iheiu
to him. "Only the notes of his let
ters," she said to the next customer.
"Ue is one of the cautious kind. There
are not many like him. About once iu
elx months somebody comes along who
keeps such a watchful eye ou his cor
respondence that he wou't even let a
stenographer keep his uotes. Of course
It is nothing to us, and we always give
them up wheu asked to. I don't kuow
what the cautious folk do with them.
Destroy them, maybe. Anyhow, there
is uo record of foolish utterances left
