A CONSIDERATE BURGLAR. He Roturned Papers Which Were of Ne Use to Him, Few burglars show such considera tion for their victims as the one whe visited the residence of J, R. Anderson in Mountain avenue, Monteluir, nos long ago. Mr. Anderson lives in a cot tage of Colonial design, surrounded bs pretty lawns, His house is somewhat isolated, The burglar, after reaching the piazza, re moved the putty from one of the panes of glass to the library, and thon re moved the glass. He went through the private papers in a desk in room and took what he believed wonld be of value, He then entered a closet ad joining the Hbrary and took five over coats belonging to Mr. Anderson and his sons, besides a loaded gun. His opera tions were confined exclusively to this room. He overlooked silverware of much value, which was in plain view on the sideboard in the dining room, ad joining the library, The first intimation that the house had been entered was when Mr. An derson went into the library in the morn ing to get his overcoat. He found things turned upside down. He discovered that the thief or thieves had stolen a sum of money which he had left in the desk, but he said it was not more than $30. His overcoat contained valuable papers.

To it, even the grown chil- dren are an interruption; and she sees them go their several ways in search of more active entertainment with almost a sigh of satisfaction, What, at this interesting juncture, is the attitude of the ideal husband?
