Oklahoma boys returned , Monday evening , from a six-weeks' trip and re port a good time. They are well pleased with parts of the country. Loyd Naden , who has been clerking for Wm. Sandon for the past two years , left , Sunday , for Pueblo , Colo. , for a week's visit with his uncle , James Naden. Loyd has a chance for a posi tion in the electric car shops at that place and if satisfactory will likely ac cept it. A sneak thief made his way into B. N. Leisure & Son's hardware store , Wednesday night , and helped himself tea a dozen or more watches , a few watch chains , a revolver and a few other small items. He opened the front doors by prying them apart and springing the catches off wich an old , broken spring he had taken from a car. It was thought he came to town , Tuesday even ing , as he was noticed around here that evening and all day Wednesday , hanging around the town , but it was- thought he was no more than a bum as he asked for a hand-out at the back doors of the kitchens around town. He was a young fellow , smooth shaved , dark hair , about 5 feet , 8 inches _ tall , with black suit. Leisure's loss will amount to about 8150. This is the first time our town has been burglarized and the business men will likely be more conservative in the fu ture. H. P. Waite has everything in the hardware line at the right price.

A Canadian hunter tells this Incident of bow ho once came face to face with his quarry and hadn't the heart to lire : "It wasn't a case of 'buck fever , ' such as a novice might experience , for I had been a hunter for many years , aim had killed a good many , deer. This was a particularly Hue buck that I had followed for three days. A strong man can run any deer to earth in time , and nt last I had my prey tired out. From the top of a hill I sighted him a few miles away. lie had given up the liKlit , and had stretched himself or.t on the snow. As I stalked him , he changed his position and took shelter behind a bowlder , and , using the same bowlder for a shelter , I came sud- dcnly face to face with him. Ho didn't attempt to run away , but stood there looking at me with the most piteous pair of eyes I ever saw. "Shoot ? I could have no more shot him than I could have shot a child. ttnd the chance come from a distance of 100 yards , I would have shot him down and carried his antlers home in triumph , but once having looked into fhose eyes it would have been nothing less than murder. I have hunted deer since then , but I find the sport affords me little pleasure. Whenever I draw a bead , the picture of those mute , ap pealing eyes comes before me , and , though It has not prevented me from pulling the trigger , I have always felt glad somehow when my bullet failed to find Its mark. " Washington Post. Hovr LithuaiiiniiH Piny Dice. A peculiar dice game is indulged in by the gambling element of Lithua nians in Baltimore. Gathering about the dice tables in the saloons kept by their fellow coun trymen they quickly lose all interest in everything outside of that which is transpiring upon the cloth before them. As they sit or stand about the tables the careworn features of old men con trast strongly with the ruddy faces of the youths. The eagerness with which the players seek the numbers upon the falling pieces is wolfish in its Intensity. Comparatively small sums are placed upon the game , and side bets run from 5 cents to $1. Although resembling in the manner in which It is operated the high dice game as played by the Anglo-Saxon races , the dice of the Lithuanians , in stead of numbering from 1 to G , run from 1 to 10 , the numbering of the six sides being 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , S , 10. The game is played with four pieces , and a possible 40 is the point striven for in stead of 24 , which is high mark in the similar American game. Baltimore Sun. A Fiend Collector Snubbed. Collectors of autographs , postcards , etc. , are not always conscious of the Importunacy of their demands , and the following anecdote , which comes from Triest , gives a striking example of their failing and of the humorous way in which the intended victim treated ! his tormentor. An Italian painter received - ! ceived a letter iu the following terms : j Dear Sir I should like to ask you a great favor and hope 3'ou will excuse the liberty I take. I am making a collection of painted postcards and should fot'l myself highly flattered if you would kindly send me one , with a little picture painted on it by yourse'f. ' It will certainly be the most treasured card of my collection , as 1 should be able to say that you were one of the first to honor me in this way. Hoping to receive one , I beg to thank you in advance. The artist replied : Dear Sir I should like to ask you a great favor and hope you will excuse the liberty I take. 1 am making a collection of thousand franc notes and should feel myself highly flattered if you would kindly send me one. It will certainly be the most highly treasured thousand franc note of my collection , as I should be able to say that you were one of the first to honor me in this way. Hoping to receive one , I beg to thank you in ad vance. Dread and Cheese. A couple advanced in years got mar ried lately. The husband had a room in the house securely locked , the inside of which his wife had never seen , and , being curi ous as to its contents , she begged again and again to see the room. At last he consented , and , lo and behold , the room was full of whole cheeses ! He explained matters by telling her that for every sweetheart he had in his young days he bought a cheese. His wife began to cry. "Don't cry , dear , " he continued. "I've had no sweetheart since I met you. " "It's not that , " she replied , still sob bing. "I only wish I had been as thoughtful as you and bought a loaf of bread for every man that kissed me. j We could hove had bread and cheese j enough to last us all our days. " Lon- j doc Tit-Bits. i Wheels nud Wheels. The woman who had been abroad was describing some of the sights of her trip to her friends. "But what pleased me as-much as anything , " she continued , "was the wonderful clock at Strassburg. " "Oh , bow I should love to see it ! " gushed the girl in pink. "I am so in terested in such things. And'did you see the celebrated watch on the Rhine too ? " Kansas City Star. Remembered \Vliolc Ddoka. Walter Savage Lander carried his ' library in his head. When he had read a book , he always gave it away on principle , having , as he said , observed that with such a purpose iu his mind he was sure to retain of a book all that was worth keeping. In his old age Lander was furious if he did not at once remember any passage of a book or any name or date. Forever Settled.
