Rascals is Hiqii Lars. About a
fortnight ago a room in tho U. S
Treasury Department, at Washing
ton, in which internal revenue war
rants, ready for issue, on United
States depositaries are kept, was mys
teriously ontored by burglars, who
forced a skylight, descended, packed
up 973.000 worth of warrants, and
got out by climbing back through the
skylight, it was evident that tue
thieves know the place well and were
perfectly able tosulect such warrants
as were negotiable and suited their
purpose. The matter was kept very
secret but detectives were employed
to work up the case, who succeeded
in arresting a son of Judge Williams,
of Washington, and ona Moore,
clerk in the Treasury Department

unquestionable, a large proportion of

The farmer often goes lo town and
hears people talking about past, pre
sent and future events, mid Comes
homo refreslieiL wondering why his
wife is always so still and never talka
about anything interesting. How
in the name of common sense can a
woman be simply a drudgo and then
talk about politics end no forth. Put
a man in her placo and he would le
almost crazy in a week, as tho daily
routine uf dish washing, baby tend
iag, and cooking is not calculated to
enliven nny trim woman's spirits.
Now-, let the farmer sell off soma
his superfluous ncros and build aeona
venient house, furnishing it comfort

not leave the spading, etc., to his
wifo ; buy a sowing machine, wash
ing machine, wringer, and every ma.
chine he can think of that will save
manual labor. SulMcribo for half m

so that she may have a resting spell

Try this plan, and in loss than a
