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

fellow , smooth shaved , dark hair , about
5 feet , 8 inches _ tall , with black suit.
Leisure's loss will amount to about 8150.

Tlie IJcer'K 15ye .
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

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
