The conversation drifted smoothly and pleasantly along from weather to crops, from crops to literature, from literature to scandal, from scandal to religion; then took a random jump, and landed on the subject of burglar alarms. And now for the first time, Mr. MeWil- linms showed feeling. Whenever I per­ ceive this sign on this man's dial, I com­ prehend it, and lapse into silence, and give him opportunity to unload his heart. Said he, with but ill-oontrolled •motion: I" "I do not go one single cent on burg­ lar alarms, Mr. Twain--not a single eent--and I will tell you why. When we were finishing our house, we found we had a little cash left over, on ac­ count of the plumber not knowing it. I was for enlightening the heathen with it, for I was always unaccountably down on the heathen somehow; but Mrs. Mc- Williams said no, let's have a burglar alarm. 'I agreed to this compromise. J will explain that whenever I want a thing, and Mrs. McWilliams wants an­ other thing, and we decided upon the* thing Mrs. McWilliama wants--as we always do--she calls that a compromise. Very well; the man came up from New York and put in the alarm, and charged three hundred and fifty dollars for it, and Raid we could sleep without uneasi­ ness now. So we did for a while--say • month. Then one night we smelled •moke, and I was advised to get up and •ee what the matter was. I lit a can­ dle, and started towards the stairs, and net a burglar coming out of a room With a basket of tinware, which he had mistaken for solid silver in the dark. He was smoking a pipe. I said, 'My friend, we do not allow smoking in this loom.' He said he was a stranger, and «onId sot be expected to know the rules of the house; said he had been in many • lkouses just as good as this one, and it Bad never been objected to before. He added that as far as his experience went, Mich rules had never been considered to -••• «|>ply to burglars anyway. "I said: "Smoke along, then, if it is the custom, though I think that the .Otmceding of a privilege to a burglar which is denied to a bishop is a con­ spicuous sign of the looseness of the . tunes. But waiving all that, what bus­ iness have yon to be entering this house In the furtive and clandestine way, with­ out ringing the burglar alarm ?' » "He looked confused and ashamed, Sd said, with embarrassment: 'I beg a ousand pardons. I did not know you had a burglar alarm, else I would have rung it. I beg you will not mention it where my parents may hear of it, for they are old and feeble, and such a seemingly wanton breach of the hal­ lowed conventionalities of our Chris­ tian civilization might all too rudely sunder the frail bridge which hangs darkling between the pale MI evanescent present and the solemn great deeps of , eternities. May I trouble you for a Hatch? "I said; *Your sentiments do you honor, but if you will allow me to say it, metaphor is not your best hold. Spare your thigh; this kind light only on thd box, and seldom there in fact, if my ex­ perience may be trusted. But to return p, business; how did you get here?' M " 'Through a second-storv window.' ; " 'It was even so. I redeemed the 4' fjjnware at pawnbroker's rates, less cost . , Of advertising, bade the burglar good­ night, closed the window after him, and retired to headquarters to report. Next morning we sent for the burglar-alarm 'man, and he came up and explained that the reason the alarm did not'go off' "was that no part of the house but the first floor was attached to the alarm. $his was simply idiotic; one might as irell have no armor at all in battle as to Jhave it only on bis legs, XhQ export .now put the whole seoou<l Btory on the llariu, charged thftxd hundred dollars •Vflpr it, and went his way. By and by, ^ fjne night I found a burglar in the third *tory, about to start down a ladder with ?-li lot of miscellaneous property. i ., My first impulse was to crack his jtead with a billiard-cue; but my second Was to refrain from this intention, be­ cause lie -,vaa between me and the cue- lock. The second impulse was plainly the soundest; so I refrained, and pro­ ceeded to compromise. I redeemed the zJ?roperty at former rates, after deduct­ ing 10 per cent, for the use of the lad­ der, it being my ladder, and next day |re sent down for the expert onod more, " find had the third story attached to tike f°r three hundred dollars. , "By this time the'annunciator'had rs--%'3frrown to formidable dimensions. It •Had forty-seven tags on it, marked with •.',v fhe names of the various rooms and r ^ jjliimneys, and it occupied the space ef an ordinary wasdrobe. The gong was r „ fhe size of a wash-bowl, and was placed " ^ l^bove the head of our bed. There was , wire from the house to the coachman's ,. , auarter's in the stable, and a noble gong Jjongside his pillow. "We should have been comfortable mow,, but for one defect. Every mom- .-Jog at five the oook opened the kitchen- S &°°r' i® the way of business, and rip **, * Went that gong! The first time tins : fiappened I thought the last day was s , i>ome sure. I didn't think it in bed-- |io, but. out of it--for the first effect of that frightful gong i»4o hilrl you across HT' the house, and slam you against the wall, and th a >url you up, and squirm yon like a spider on a stove-lid, till somebody shuts that kitohen-door. In •olid fact, there is no clamor thit is even comparable to the dire clamor which that gong makes. Well, this catastrophe happened every morning regularly at 5 o'clock, and lost us three hours' sleep; for, mind you, when that thing wakes you, it doesn't merely wake you in spots; it wakes you all over, conscience and all, and you are good for eighteen hours of wido-awakedness subsequently--eigh­ teen hours of the very most inconceiv­ able wide-awakedness that you ever ex­ perienced in your life. A stranger died on our hands one time, and we vacated and left him our room over night. Did that stranger wait for the general judg­ ment? No, sir; he got up at 5 the next morning, in the most prompt and unos­ tentatious way. I knew he would; I knew it mighty well. He collected his life-insurance, and lived happy ever after, for there waR plenty of proof as to, the perfect squareness of his dteath. "Well, we were gradually fading away toward a better land, on account of our duly loss of sleep; so we finally had the expert up again, and he run a wire to the outside of our door, and placed a switch there, whereby Thomas, the but­ ler, could take off and put on the alarm; but Thomas always made one little mis­ take--he switched the alarm off at night When he went to bed, and switched it on again at daybreak in the morning, just in time for the cook to open the kitchen door, and enable that gong to slam us across the house, sometimes breaking a w indow with one or the other of us. At the end of a week we recognized that this switch business was a delusion and a snare. We alsn discovered that a band of burglars had been lodging in the house the whole time--not exactly to steal, for there wasn't much left now, but to hide from the police; for they were hot pressed, and they shrewdly judged that the detectives would never think of a tribe 'of burglars taking sanctuary in a house notoriously pro- tedted by the most imposing and elabor­ ate burglar-alarm in America. "Sent down for the expert again, and this time he struck a most dazzling idea --he fixed the thing so that opening the kitchen-door would take off the alarm. It was a noble idea, and he charged ac­ cordingly. But you already see the re­ sult. I switched on the alarm every night at bed-time, no longer trusting to Thomas' frail memory; and as soon as the ligiits were out, the burglars walked in at the kitchen door, thus taking the alarm off without waiting for the cook to do it in the morning. You see how aggravatinglv we were situated. For months we couldn't have auy company. Not a spare bed in the house; all occu­ pied by burglars. "Finally, I got up a cure of my own. The expert answered the call, and ran another under-ground wire to the sta­ ble, and established a switch there, so that the coachman could put'dn and take off the alarm. That worked first- rate, andja season of peace ensued, dur­ ing which we got to inviting company once more and enjoying life. "But by and by the irrepressible alarm invented a new kink. One win­ ter's night we were flung out of bed by the sudden music of that awful gong, ] and when we hobbled to the annuncia­ tor, turned ~p the gas, and saw the word 'Nursery' exposed, Mrs. McWil- liams fainted dead away, and I came precious near doing the same thing myself. I seilbd my shot-gun, and stood timing the ooachman while that appalling buzzing went on. I knew that his gong had flung him out too, and that he would be along with his gun as soon as he could jump into his clothes. When I judged that the time was ripe, I crept to the room next the nursery, glanced through the window, and saw the dim outline of the coach­ man in the yard below, standing at a present arms and waiting for a chance. Then I hopped iuto the nursery and fired, and at the same instance the coachman fired at the red dash of my gun. Both of us were successful: I crippled the nurse and he shot off all my back hair. We turned up the gas and telephoned for a surgeon. There was not a sign of a bulglar, and no window had been raised. One glass was absent, but that was where the coachman's charge had come through. Here was a fine misterv--a burglar- alarm 'going off' at midnight of its own accord, and not a burglar in the neigh­ borhood I "Tiid tttpert answered the usual call, and explained that it was a 'false alarm.' Said it was easily fixed. So ho over­ hauled the nursery window, charged a remunerative figure for it, and depart­ ed. "What we suffered from false alarms for the next three years no stylograpliio pen can describe. During the first few months I always flew with my gun to the room indicated, and the coachman always sailed forth with his battery to support me. But there was never any­ thing to shoot at--windows all tight and secure. We alway sent down for the expert next day, and he fixed those peculiar windows Sso they would keep quiet a week or so, aud always remem­ bered to send us a bill about like this W i r e . . . . . . . * 2 1 5 Nipple :....: 75 Two hours'labor..,...,........;...,.,..... 1 SO Wa* « Tape 8* Screws 15 Recharging battery..; 98 Three hours'labor...... 1 » String J* Lard M Pond's Extract..*>...»• • 1 2® BpriuRs. 4#.W 3 00 Railroad fores 7 25 $19 77 "At length a perfectly natural thing came about--after we had answered three or four hundred false alarms--to- wit, we stopped answering them. Yes, I simply rose up calmly, when slammed across the house by the alarm, calmly inspected the annunciator, took note of the room indicated, and then calmly dis­ connected that room from the alarm, and went back to bed as if nothing had happened. Moreover, I left that room off permanently, and did no* send for the expert. Well, it goes without say­ ing that in the course of time all the rooms were taken off, and the entire machine was out of service. "It was at this unprotected time that the heaviest calamity of all happened. The burglars walked in one night and carried off the burglar alarm--yes, sir, every hide and hair of it; ripped it out, tooth and toe-nail, springs, bells, gongs, battery, and all. They took a hundred and fifty miles of copper wire. They in t cleaned her out, bag and baggage, and never left us a vestige of her to swear at--swear by, I moan. "We had a time of it to get her back; but we accomplished it finally, for soon* ey. Then the alarm firm said that what we needed now was to have her put in right--with their new patent springs in the windows to make false alarms im- «, »nd their new patent clock at- mt, to take off «nd put on the alarm morning and night without hu­ man assistance. That seemed a good scheme. ; They promised to have the whole thing finished in ten dkys. They began work, and we left for the summer. They worked a couple of days, then they left for the summer. After which the burglars moved in, and began their summer vacation. When we returned in the fall the house was as empty as a beer closet in premises where painters have been at work. We refurnished, and then sent down to hurry up the ex­ pert. He came up, and finished the job, and said: 'Now, this clock is set to put on the alarm every night at 10, and take it off every morning at 5:4o. All you've got to do is to wind her up every week, and then leave her alone; Bhe will take care of the alarm herself.' "After that we had a most tranquil season during three months. The bill was prodigious, of course, and I had said I would not pay in until the new machine had proved itself flawless. So I paid the bill, and the very next day the alarm went to buzzing like ten thousand bee swarms at ten o'clock in the morning. I turned the hand around twelve hours, according to in­ structions, and this took off the alarm. But there was another hitch at night, apd I had to set her ahead twelve hours once more to get her to put the alarm on again. That sort of nonsense went on a week or two; then the expert came up and put in a new clock. But it was always a failure. His clocks all had the same perverse defect--they would put the alarm on in the day time, and they would not put it on at night; and if you forced it on yourself, they would take it off the minute your back was turned. "Now, there is the history of .that bur­ glar alarm--everything just as it hap­ pened ; nothing extenuated, and naught set down in malice. Yes, sir; and when I had slept nine years with burglars, and maintained an expensive burglar alarm the whole time--for their protec­ tion, not mine, and at my sole cost--for not a d--d cent could I ever get them to contribute--I just said to Mrs. Mc- Williams that I had had enough of that kind of pie. So, with he^° full consent, I took the whole thing out, and traded it off for a dog, and shot the dog. I don't know what you think about it, Mr. Twain; but I think those things are made solely in the interest of the bur­ glars. Yes, sir, a burglar alarm com­ bines in its person all that is objection­ able about a fire, a riot, and a harem, and at the same time has none of the compensating advantages, of one sort or another, 'that customarily belong with that combination. Good-bye; I get off here." So saying, Mr. Mc Williams gathered up his satchel and umbrella, and bowed himself out of the train.--Harper's. Weekly. "And Yet She Cannot Tote." ^ The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, than whom few public speakers have shown themselves more ready with apt allus­ ions and sallies of wit, has seldom "brought down the house" with a single sentence more successfully than he did one evening in Brooklyn. Ply­ mouth Church was crowded to the doojs with one of its most characteristic audi­ ences, and Miss Frances E. Willard^ of Chicago, delivered a lecture on the work of the Women's Qospel Temper­ ance Union, which was received with great enthusiasm. As the prolonged applause at the close of her lecture died away, Mr. Beecher ascended the plat­ form, slowly, thoughtfully, and stool for a moment regarding, almost staring at the lecturer, with an expression of mingled wonder and admiration. Then turning to the audience he remarked, slowly and meditatively, emphasizing the words with nods of his head: "And --yet-- she cannot vote!" It is hardly necessary to add that it was some time before the audience was quiet enough for him to add, in ringing tones: "And are you not ashamed of it ?" Seme Still Left.

The feels Who Advanced I< It has often occurred to me that a man is a fool who advances ideas of which the world has not previously heard. We are an ancient family. Look at Noah. He worked a lifetime through dry weather on a boat. Every one who saw him and his family had a laugh at them for being fools. The rain came and saved them, though. Then there was Moses, the man of bulrushes, who would not be the son of the Princess, and instead lived for forty years among those who would have none of him. The crown of folly, I may say, and I say it without thought of sacrilege, be­ longs to Him who walked with twelve apostles, a stumbling-block to the Jews, and a vexation to the Greeks. It is hard to draw the line between folly and wisdom; they dovetail together and wind in and out to such an extent that it is almost impossible to tell where the fool leaves off and the wise man begins. And then, the fool of to-day may be the philosopher of to-morrow. Franklin was a fool, when with kite and key he drew electricity from the clouds and was knocked headlong. That man was a fool who first started across the ocean in a steamship. At the time he was plowing the waters a wise man of Edinburgh sat in his studio and wrote an essay incontestibly demonstrating the impossibility of the feat. The fool, however, arrived safely and was a fool no longer. His foolishness, it seems, depended on his geographical location. Columbus--there was a fool to be proud of. He persisted in sailing out to the edge of a world that every one knew was fiat.--Judge Tourgee. THS Ithaca, N.
