THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. ruNisiiKDAUimauii IT HAP a funny experience with a luir 1 glnr once," said a government ollicml whose home is in northern Pennsylvania whrn he i not nerving his rountry. "My home i three miles from Hie city on a fino i.icrc of rend, and tliiumh there is a good Joal of pacing that way f liave never been troubled w'th marauders aliout my place ex cept for the umal raids on my orchard and (hit one occasion aliout which I am telling you. "Not that I waa in the habit cf wishing for in adventure with a burglar, tor I de sired nothing of the sort. While the life I J0J was a quiet one it nutted me quite well, nd 1 did not need a little gun-play exercise with a midnight marauder to appreciate the beauty of living. 1 had never imagined that burglars were possible In that secluded spot, stid o w;l" " l',e m,"'c surprised when one really arrived, In fact, I do not really un derstand how I made myself believe that mv visitor was a burglar before I saw linn. "It was on a winter night about one o'clock that I was disturbed by sonic one falling over I diiiir in the room next to mine. Thin was the dining-room, and my room was the only one on that floor which was occupied at night. 1 thought it might be somebody who had no business there, and, taking my re volver, I proceeded to investigate, having waited long enough for tht burglar, if it was it burglar, to think that the nmw lie had niade had not w.ikened anybody. slipped along the hall to the parlor in front and came bark through the parlor to the dining-room door, which was ajar. I cu!cl see a dim light coming through the doorway, which 1 knew waa out of the or dinary condition in that room at that hour, and, expecting to have a scrap, 1 nerved my self for it by standing stock still for a minute and wondering what the dickena anybody wanted to be robbing houses for and giving the inmates all sorts of disagreeable feel ings. Dili you ever tackle a burglar in the dead of the night? No? Well, you'll never know what it ii like until you've been there. Knowing that if I made any noise the burglar would turn his eyes and perhaps his gun to about the place where he thought 'a man's head ought to be when he came through a door, I got down on my hands and knees and crawled up to where I could iprcp in. lie did not hear me, and I could see him, over in the corner where the side hoard was, taking a bite to cat preparatory (o loading what swag he had collected in the shape of silver spoons and other bric-a-brac into his bag. A lamp, turned down low, was on the sideboard beyond him, and 1 had a good look at him. I wunted to shoot him on the spot, but that didn't seem to be quite fair, so 1 rose to my feet with my gun on him and ordered him to throw up lis hands. 1 don't know which one of us was more scared at that moment, but I had the advantage, and he let his hands go up and begged me not to shoot. I told him I would use my own pleasure about that, and went over and turned up the light. ' "lie was not a bad-looking burglar, as bur glars go, a man of 30, perhaps, and evidently Hot an old hand at the business, or he never .would have stumbled over that chair. The only weapon he carried was a small four barreled pistol, which I still have as a sou venir of the occasion, and after I had got him in a helpless condition I began to won der what 1 was going to do with him. It was a bitter cold night, and I didn't want to drive to town with him; neither did I want to sit up all night with him, and we had no telephone, lie begged me to let him go; he was only a beginner, und would swear otlorevcr if I gave him a chance. "After thinking the matter over I con cluded to give him the chance, althougli I was going to do it my own way. 1 told him 1 had no wish to spoil his future, nnd that upon his solemn promise to reform I would let him go. He went down on his knees, swearing that he would never do so any more, and 1 told him to get .up and take ell his coat. He asked nie what for, but I said that was my business, and to do what 1 tuli! him. He obeyed me, and I followed with orders to take oil his waistcoat and his collar, lie objected when I told him to take off his trousers, but I got a buggy whip standing in the corner, and a lick or two with it convinced him that he had better obey orders and filu his objections tit some later period. It required a few more liils with the whip to get his shoes und shirt off, but after that he submitted, and present ly he was ready" for the bath. He was a clean-limbed, clear-skinned, healthy chap, and I felt quite certuin in my mind he wan equal to the stunt I had arranged for him. ''I made him put on his shoes now, leav ing off his socks, and then 1 conducted him to the front door, which I had noticed he left open in order to facilitate his departure in ease of emergency. He shivered when he auie out into the draft, but I did not olfer him an overcoat. " 'For (iod's sake, mister,' he asked, as his teeth chattered, "what are you going to do with tne" ( " 'I'm going to let you go,' I responded, 'and you've got to go like thunder or you'll freeze to death. It's three mile to town, hut the road is smooth, and you have on your shoes, and are not currying any extra 'eight. The mercury is down to zero, and jf you stop to loaf along the way you'll be frostbitten, so you had better hustle pretty lively, (let out, now, and get quick,' and I opened the door wide, hit him a cut with tlie whip, and he went out and off the porch 'th a jump. He never stopped to look 'aek, but went down the gravel path to the K 'te like a sprinter. The moon was shining nd I could see him for a quarter of a mile own the pike, going like a seared rabbit, .then I returned to my virtuous couch, feel lnB ns if I had done a great work of re frm and wishing I could catch a burglar about three times a week. 'The morning paper had a notice in its last edition of the capture of a clotheless man "l 1:45 a. m. by the police, who chased him naif a mile straightaway on a bicycle. It was ""t known whether he waa a lunatic or not, wia he Wjis held on suspicion. I went around to the station house about ten o'clock to sea ne prisoner, and he recognized me at once id got white with fright. Of course he thought I waa there to put the finishing '"ueheg on him, but I aoon convinced biia '"at he could trust me. I told the police lnIle a war tale about hia being a hired "yn of miriP who waa subject to fits, and got n"n off all riKht. I gave him his clothes and nve dollars for pin money, and told him to F , out f the neighborhood as faoi as he 1, Rot over the pike the night before.

Youn Detroit Girl Shows Rare Skill in Marksmanship. ftonta Wright Never Fired n Shot Be fore l.nst Octotirr. nnd Now ftiie Is Fraaaanred Marvel lir All Sharpshooters, Mlsa Sonla Wrlpht, of Detroit, Mich., is said by those who know her to lie the most remarkable rifle shotlu the coun try. Two year ago she waa a teacher of elocution and physical culture in De troit. She found the field overcrowd ed and began reading- proof in the of fice of the Evening Mail at Lafayette, Ind. There ahe met the man who dis covered her wonderful skill with the rifle. John K. Long, assistant engineer of the Lafayette waterworks, la known aa an expert shot and the father of the "Hooaler Boy Shot," who won consid erable fame at the world'a fair for his remarkable akill with the rifle. Mis Wright was Included in an invitation to visit the waterworks last October, and went with several friends. Mr. Long happened to mention, in a rem iniscent mood, how lonely he felt with out hia son, who had been such a treas ure to him in various ways. "I miss him so much." he remarked, "In my shooting, and I don't seem to find anyone that can take his place." "Why can't I poae aa a pupil?" tfaid Miss Wright, banteringly. Mr. Long invited her to call during his practice hours in the courtyard of the water works. He never expected to see her again, nnd was much surprised when ah called on him one day and said ahe wanted to take that leasoTi. Mr. Long gave to her the "lesson." He instructed her bow to hold the gun MISS SONIA WRIGHT. (Doing Some Fancy Rifle Shooting from Her Bicycle.) and to aim in much ie same manner that he would instruct any novice. "Now, there is the target, and you have the sight," heexplained; "do your worst." Miss Wright placed the gun to her shoulder like an amateur and fired. The bullet struck the bull's-eye. The distance was ten yards, and the shot was regarded by Mr. Long as merely a chance hit. Another shot was tried, and again the bullet struck the bull's eye. This at once inspired fcim to in duce her to become a permanent pupil. Before she hud taken many lessons, Mr. Loop discovered that Miss Wright was really the person that be had long been searching for. He taught her the various tricks of the business and found her an extraordinarily apt pupil. Her Intent talent was as much a sur prise to Miss Wright aa it was to her instructor. Ho remarked one thing about her shooting, and that was that nearly all her shots were what are technically termed "line shots." That is, they did not waver from the "tdght," but were true and good. Her lessons included ten hots each, and in the sixth lesson she placed five shots in the black space, hitting the bull's eye three times and getting 112 out of a possible 120 in the score. When she had taken eight lessons, Mr. Long was ho confident of her ability that he asked her to shoot the ashes, oft a cijrar held in his mouth at eight yards. This she did very successfully, though she went through the test with considerable trepidation. Miss Wright was in the meantime getting famous without looking for honors in that or any other line. Peo ple used to come around to the water works court yard to see "the girl that shoots," and one day a committee from the St. licmifkce church bazar called on her, und naked her to give an ex hibition at theor fair. Miss Wright didn't think she was an attraction to be feutured, or that her skill was worthy of a public exhibiton, but she consent ed, und her murksniunship, under the direction of Mr. Long, creuted a sensa tion. This was her first stage appear ance., and among other things she ac complished was the so-called "trim ming of the finger nails" at eight yards. Mr. Long held candy disks in his hand, and had Miss Wright shoot holes through them. Then he lit a match and she shot it out. She also snuffed! a candle, split a card and did things that mada the audience gape in wonderment and demand a repeti tion. Miss Wright's father was a colonel of the Soyal engineers, Ireland, and she was boru in the army, so to speak. She is an attractive young woman and the only denotement of her profession is a broad-torlmmed "Texaa summer hat," which givea her a decidedly fron tier appearauee. Miss Wright wii born in County Fetnoy, Ireland, and Detroit hat been her home for ten rears. Htr mother resides on Grant lomrt. tl'Y VIA IK? LIGHTNING KILLS WILD BOARS Five Oat of Imported from the ninck Forest f track. Together In rike Connlr, Five of six wild boars Imported from the Black Forest In Oermnny at a cost of $100 each were lately killed by light ning nt Porter's Lake, Pike county, Pa. They were brought over by Wcissbrod & ltess, cf Philadelphia, and were In tended for breeding purposes, and it was proposed to turn their young loose in the forest, reports the New York Sun. The animals had only just arrived nnd wore still in thrir boxes, which were, piled under a tree. When the storm was at its height n bolt descend ed, striking the tree and running down it to the animals. One in a box on top of the others escaped, but those below were Instantly killed. 1t Is snld their places will be supplied by other impor tations. The propagation of wild boars in this region Is not a new experiment. Rome wears ago Otto Plock, a wealthy broket of New York and London, whose sum mer home was on the west side of the Shawnngunk mountain, not far from Port .Tervis, turned' out severnl wild boars in his mountain park. For a time they thrived until nt last they broke through the inclosure and committed depredations on the neighboring farms. The farmers turned out with dogs nnd guns, but were never able to rapt are any of them. They were hunt ed day and night. They finally took up their abode in Sullivan county, where hunters tried in. vain to kill them. Judge W. IT. Crane, of thisplace, broth er of the late Stephen Crane, was the only person who successfully brought down one of these wild boars. What has become of the remainder of the ani mals Is a mystery, ns they have disap peared. It is believed they all died. MILES FAVORS GOOD ROADS. Commnnder of the fnlteil States Armr Illustrate Their Great Importance. If Gen. Nelson A. Miles had his way the roads of the United States would be equal to those of any country on the globe. He tells a story of an old teamster out west who was driving over a very rough road in the Rocky mountains shortly after the (ieronimo campaign. He had the general for a passenger. The wagon was an old prairie schooner, without springs or cushions, nnd the general was vainly attempting to fall asleep, says the Chi cago Chronicle. "But there was no sleep for me on that trip," says Gen. Miles, "for the old rascal drove over every bowlder in the road; in fact, he seemed' to be doing it purposely. Finally I became interested und began, to count the. number of rocks over which the wheels of the wagon passed or which they' struck. Suddculy, to my consterna tion, he missed1 one a huge bowlder in the middle of the roadway. '"Whoa! Hey!' 1 cried. 'Backup! Back up!' "He quietly followed my instruc tions, seeming to be not at all surprised by them. When, be had his wagon in the proper position I said: 'Now, drive over that rock, confound' you! It's the only one you've missed. "Without so much as u glance in my direction, he rrpliedi: 'Cert, pard.. Never noticed it. Ain't got a chew about yer?' "I got out nnd walked the remaining eight miles." "A Bright Lliiie Boy" Would be sure of a welcome in almost any home. But what a welcome he would have in a home where the hope of children had been extinguished. What a welcome this particular " bright little boy" did have in such a bouie, may be judged by the closing paragraph vi iiis uioiuer s letter, given be low. There is no room for the whole letter, which recounts a story of fifteen years of suffering aud a perfect cure by the use of "three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription, two bottles of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and some of the ' Pel lets."' In many in stances . childless ness is the result of conditions which are curable. It has often hap pened that when "Favorite Pre scription " has cured a woman of female weakness and the nervous condition attending it, her return to health is signalized by the birth of her first child. " Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong, sick women well. I cannot tell half that Dr. Pierce's medicine has doue for me,' writes Mrs. T. A. Rncun, ol Norris. Watauga Co., N. C. "It will do alt that is claimed for It prevent miscarriage aud ren der childbirth easy. It has given me a bright little boy, and I would not have had him had it not been for your wonderful medicine. I can not say too much 111 praise of it : I thiuk it is worth its weight iu gold. I thank God for my life, aud Dr. Fierce for my health." "Pleasant Pellet " clear the corn plexion. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE.
