other day, and related the good re

hens and four cows. From December

were eggs amounting to $100,

THE SNEAK THIEF AGAIN,
Billy Parker Fires n Rifle Ball at Him,
But Misses His Murk—Peorhaps.
Within the recent pust the sneak
thief has practiced his profession at
least twice, Although he had a close
eall on one occasion, he is open for en-
gagement the first time opportunity
affords.
‘* Billy’ Parker, an ex-Mayor of
Black Hawk, felt the shivers run up
his back on seeing the form of a man
fall after he had fired a bullet from his
trusty rifle. He felt confident that be
had mortally wounded a chicken thief,
and was just as confident who the
thief was, but while * Billy ’ went to
the house for a lantern his game dis-
appeared.
It was this way : Parker hewd a
commotion among his fowls, and
jumpiog from his bed of ease he
spatched up a rifle and ran to the
chicken house. He saw the form of a
man retreating, and, soldier-like, Park-
er shouted: * Halt! or I'll shoot!”
The command was disobeyed, and
Parker fulfilled his promise. The
form fell to the ground, and Parker
felt the slivers run from his bare feet
to the top of his head ; he was certain
he had killed bis man. Being clad
only in his night gown, Parker return-
ed to the house, and after dressing,
lighted a lantern, and made search
He was much disappointed in not
finding his victim, and is at a loss to
know whether he really wounded the
thief, or whether the marauder drop-
ped to the ground for the very pur-
pose of deceiving Parker who is a
splendid marksman,
The second theft was committed east
of Centre Hall, on the Kauffman farm,
tenanted by John E. Rishel. Mr,
Rishel and his father-in-law, George
W. Gingrich, killed a balf dozen hogs,
carefully put the sirloin steak into
crooks, and stored it io the eellar, the
other meat being put elsewhere, [hat

Women Cannot Cut Diamonds,
“A lot of women seem to be possessed
these days of an ambition to learn the
trade of diamond cutting,” the New
York Sun reports one jeweler as say.
Ing. “Every little while an applicant
for a situation as an apprentice gives
us a call. But we can't afford to give
them a trial. They can never master
the art. In other branches of the jew-
elry trade women have made some un-
qualified successes, Not one of Eve's
daughters, from royalty down, I should
say, that Isn't an artist in the wearing
of diamonds. Many are well versed
in the tricks of buying and sell
while others give excellent satisfaction
in polishing and preparing
for the market. But when it comes to
the real cutting of the stones they lack

of nerve which constitute the expert's

Japanese Art Symbols,
If a Japanese artist wishes to de-
scribe in color and design the anticl-
pation of happiness he draws a picture
which is a combination of an April
evening, a moon, a nightingale and a
plum tree or two. Victory is sym-
bolized by the iris, grace and quiet-
ness’ by the willow tree and the swal-
low for symbols. Patriotism Is some-
times indieated by a spray of cherry
blossoms. The almond flower is the
flower of spring and symbolizes beauty.
The dragon twines and writhes an
artistic course through all Japanese
art, root and branch. His name {is
Tatsu, and when you see him pictured
as fighting with a tiger it is the symbol
of religl Ehtlng Rgalnst power. A
