An electric alarm connects the store with the residence of the proprietor near by and the alarm awoke the inmates of the house. Wash Collum ■went to the front door of the store and Jesse Collum stationed himself at the back door armed with a shotgun. Ihe former frightened the burglar who attempted to get out the back window but was stopped by Jesse who fired three shots at the midnight intruder, one shot taking effect in one of his lungs, another in his face and the third in one of his shoulders. The . burglar threw up his hands and begged ; them to shoot no more and made no ; further effort to get away. The burglar was put in safe keeping and the next day was taken to LaPorte and ; placed in jail. He is said to be in very bad condition from his wounds.

The story of the world’s history, is, after all, the most interesting and most instructive story which has ever been told. It was probably never bet ter presented, for general reading and reference, than in Alden’s Cyclopedia of History, recently published. Every nation of the earth, ancient and modern, is treated in its alphabetical order, excepting, only, the United States, which is to form a seperate work. You have ancient history as far back as B. c. 5004 and modern history down to A. d. 1892. All countries are described in their physical aspects, as well as tnwfm-ipfilly. so von have the ennivalent of a book of travels round the world. There are many illustrations, none for mere ornament, but all helpful for instruction. Considering the magnitude of the work, its small cost is astonishing. The entire history comprises about 800,000 words—equivalent, you will find by comparison, to about 10 volumes of ordinary size—and yet is issued in two handy volumes, in small but clear type, well and handsomely made, and sold in cloth binding for only $1.25 for the set, plus 20 cents for postage, if by mail. For 10 cents the publisher sends post paid a paperbound volume of 160 pages, containing the complete history of several nations, by which you can judge of the character of the entire work. Every home ! ought to have a good Universal History ; this is probably the best for general use. The publisher’s catalogue of choice books, over 100 pages, a rich feast for book lovers, is sent postpaid, for 2 cents. John B. Alden, Publisher, j 57 Rose St.. New York.
