A Burglar Came.

It was an agent for a big manufacturing concern who was talking. “I once got out a poster,” he said, “which started in: ‘Keep your eye on this, a burglar is coming.’ This I distributed broadcast in the towns in the northern part of State. Among other places, it was hung conspicuously in a .small grocery and ary goods store in one of the towns in that section. “One morning the proprietor, when he opened up shop, found that my notice had been amended to read: ;Keep your eye on this: the burglar has come.’ "The correction was made in pencil marke. “And sure enough, the burglar had come. And he had carried off about 1600 in money and goods.” • The skeleton of the leatherywinged bat is, bone for bone and joint for joint, similar to that of man. It is estimated that thereare 100,000 tramps in Germany.
