THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, AUGUST 6, 1900

A QUEER EXPERIENCE.

dow a Possible Marriage Was Pre- wented by a Burglary.

“IT had a queer experience once with a burglar,” said a’ Nebraska merchant on his way to New York to buy goods. “For the past 15 years | have been making several trips a year to New York, and this incident occurred about ten years ago. I had met a very intelligent and in- teresting woman in the city, a widow, of an age suitable for me, and as I was a widower I had made up my mind if I liked her as well when I saw her again as I had for the two weeks I had lived in the same boarding house with her I would begin to talk seriously to her.

“I knew nothing about her whatever exceept that she interested me, and as she seemed to be a nice woman and I had two bo#s who needed a good woman’s care I thought she might interest my boys as well. She had given me her photograph, and I had it with me on the trip to let her see, if necessary, that I liked to have her around. ‘

“On my way | stopped over one night in Chicago with a brother I had there, and during the night my room was en- tered by a burglar. He must have been a very smooth one, for I never heard a thing and only knew he had been there by finding my money and watch and jew- elry and papers done up in a package and left on tue bureau. Nothing was missing as far as I could discover except the photograph, ‘which I had left in a handsome Jeathw frame on the bureau. Frame and photograph were gone, and pinned to the mirror was a note in a good, legible hand which read as follows:

“Dear Bir—Whoever you may be, pardon the liberty I have taken in coming uninvited into your room. I have taken with me nothing but « photograph of my mother. Don’t tell her.

“Possibly the hand shook when it wrote the note, but if it did I could not detect it in the writing. Evidently, though, it was genuine, for the burglar had left nearly $1,000 worth of stuff that he could have taken with the photograph. In any event, I did not mention the visit of the burglar to my brother, aad he had not disturbed any other part of the house, my room probably being the first and the photograph saving all the others.

“Neither did I say any ping to the wid- ow about the burglar, or’-about the other matter, either. I was just as polite as ever, but it ended there. Incidentally I spoke to her one day about my boys, and she said she had a boy somewhere in the world, but he had run away frem home when he was 16, and she had not seen him in seven years or heard of him. There were tears in her eyes when she spoke, and I felt a little odd about the eyes myself, but I kept my secret. I’m telling it now hecause she died about a

The Reason For Some Failures,

How many public men have fallen be- cause they have been discourteous to sub- ordinates, to newsuatherers, to voters after election! How many, on the other hand, have climbed to great heights of power and reputation because they paid attention to the civilities of life! Peo-

ple have long memories. They never for- give the slightest affront to their sover- eignty.

The moment a public man so far for- gets the source of his pewer as to treat the humblest individual with scant cour-

tesy he places in action an engine for his cwn destruction. Per contra, let an olli- cial be thoroughly agreeable in manner and genuinely interested in the welfare of persons whom he may never have oc- casion te “use,” and he places in un- known hands cymbals to proclaim his merits.

Popular favor is swayed as often by the personal manner of a candidate as by the principles he represents. True courtesy, however, springs from the heart rather than from the head. It takes little account of rank or circum- atance or benefits to be derived.—Suc- cess.

Realism.

Rebecca Gins walked down the lane putting her feet forward alternately. There were hedges on both sides; one on the left, one on the right. The young leaves were @ pale green. Overhead ran the telegraph wires. The poles were about 33 yards apart. A robin sat on a spray of blackthorn, which moved under ts weight, now down, now up. The red- dish color of its breast and the gray brown of its plumage contrasted with the white of its perch. Rain had fallen and the ground was wet, especially in the ruts. The secondhand feather in Rebec- ca’s hat dropped a little over her left ear, and the third button of her off boot was wanting. Smoke went up from the chim- neys, taking the direction of the wind, west with a touch of south. Between the fleecy clouds the sky suggested a tone of

blue. Ail these phenomena (nciuding the ‘eather, which was out of sight) escaped Rebecca’s notice. She was not gifted with that grasp of essential detail which is the sign of an artistic nature, nurtured in the best school of realism.—London Punch.

Lost His Thumb,

I have reason to remember our visit to the Andamans, for I lost the top of my thum there—bitten off by a parrot fish. The brute came to the surface after some torpedo experiments, shamming death. I incautiously put my thumb ia his mouth, when the creature’s jaws shut with a horrid snap, taking off the flesh of my thumb to the bone. Our surgeon dressed the wound. My cockswain pick- ed up the portion of my thumb and, fol- lowing me down into my cabin, asked what he should do with it. I told him to give it to a panther cub we had on

Custom Officer—Miss, you will have to let me know what that blue trunk con- tains.

Miss Triller—Oh, nonsense!

Custom Officer—But I demand in the name of the law.

Miss Triller—Well, didn’t I just tell you the trunk contains nonsense? It is packed with love letters I received all ever Europe.

NO CHANGES IN WEATHER.

Temperature and Rainfall as They Were Thousands of Years Age,

We find the “early’’ and the “later” rains today in Palestine precisely as de- scribed 3,500 years ago. “Jordan over- flows all its banks” in February today exactly as it did in Joshua’s time, 38 centuries ago. Plants taken from mum- my cases in Egypt, which must have been gathered more than 5,000 years ago, are practically of the same size and have the game appearance as those growing today. Records of vintages in France for over 700 years show practically the same dates as today. Actual observations of rainfall for over 200 years at St. Peters- burg show no change appreciable to us, though, of course, the eamiest observa- tions were extremely crude and some- what unreliable. Facts of this kind might be adduced to fill a smal] volume.

On the other hand, we have records of most extraordinary cold weather in an- cient times. One winter the light wine in France froze. Another winter the river Po froze over so as to bear teams (an unheard of phenomenon today). In this journal fr June it is stated that “Parnassus and Socrates, now free from snow, were covered with it in classic an- tiquity;” also, “the name Greenland, which strikes us as so singularly inap- propriate, was not inapplicable at the time it was named, in the fourteenth cen- tury.”

It is entirely probable that descrip- tions of the cold in ancient times were much exaggerated. Parnassus and Soc- rates have snow at times, and in earlier days, when protection against the cold and snow was much less than now, a lit- tle snow would go along way. The ear- lier voyagers from Iceland more than 1,000 years ago, leaving a land of almost perpetual ice and snow and reaching a land in summer, with its beautiful green color, to their unaccustomed eyes would very naturally give the name of Green- land to it. In the summer time, it ts said, Greenland presents a most beautiful green near the Danish settlements to this day.

Our oldest inhabitants, who have been wont to descrfbe the terrible cold and deep snows in their boyhood days as in- comparably greater than anything which does or can occur today, completely lost their reckoning in a recent winter when reading of a ship that had sunk in New York harbor by weight of the ice upon it; also that Washington had 34 inches of snow on a level and the lowest temper- ature ever noted in that fair city. A careful study will show no appreciable change in the climate of this earth since the early historic times. Of course, noth- ing here adduced touches climatic changes in glacial times or in prehistoric times, which changes have heen established be yond question.

A Possible Cure For Founder.

As many of your readers are owners of horses, let me tell them how I saved a yaluable mare that was foundered. One very hot day in July I let her drink from a branch (not cold). The next morning it took 15 minutes to get her out of the sta- ble. She was so stiff she could not step over a doorsill six inches high. I was 80 miles from home and obliged to be there next day. Well, after a good while we started, and by noon had traveled six miles. I stopped at a farmhouse for din- ner. The nare refused to eat a bite.

So said the farmer as he excused him- self and hurried to the harvest field with his hands. I did as directed, arriving home about midnight. The next morning she was all right, and never showed a

This idea apparently threw a new light upon the subject. The father agreed to the purchase and left the court amica- bly with ‘his daughter on his arm.—Lon don Telegraph.

A Good Use For Aller.

Congressman John M. Allen of Missis- sippi once went all the way to New York from the south to attend a banquet. When he took his place at the board, he found himself set down for the last speech. His friends also saw the pro- gramme and, like himself, were annoyed at what they thought was thoughtless- ness on the part of the committee.

The congressman listened to the long addresses and when his turn came pref- aced his remarks thus:

“Gentlemen, I was somewhat at a loss at the opening of this feast to under- stand why you had asked me te come all the way from Mississippi to speak to you and then made my address the last number of your programme. Now it is all plain tome. You h:d to put a bright man at the last to hold the audience.’’— Saturday Evening Post.

Eczema on the Scalp

Would itch and Burn until the Child Soreamed with Agony—A Wonderful Cure Effected by Dr. Chase’s Ointment.

The case recorded here is one of the worst ever brought to the attention of Toronto’s best physicians, 1rnd when doctors gave up al! hope of recovery, Dr. Chase’s Ointment was successful in producing a perfect cure.

Mr. James Scott, 135 Wright avenue, Toronto, states:—*‘ My boy, Tom, aged ten, was for nearly three years afflict- ed with a bad form of Eczema of the scalp, which was very unsightly and resisted all kinds of remedies and doc- tor’s treatment. His head was in a terrible acate. We had to keep him from school, and at times his head would bleed, and the child would scream with agony. For two and a half years we battled with it in vain, but at last found a cure in Dr. Chase’s Ointment. About five boxes were used, The original sores dried up, leaving the skin jn its normal condition. To say it fa a pleasure to testify to the wonderful merits of Dr. Chase's Ointment is put- ting it very mildly.”
