BURGLAR CONVERTED.
Ai Abvolntrlj True Story illicit Hu Be-
come » Family Tradition.
This is a true burglar story. It j
was told, in the first place, by the 1
mother of the family herself ; it is
now told by her daughter, and it j
will probably be told in years to I
come by generations still unborn. '
As the veracity of every one con- j
cerned in it—including that of the
burglar himself, in his regenerate 1
condition—is quite unimpeachable,
the facts can lie vouched for.
It was the mother of the family
to whom the adventure occurred.
She was a woman of devout charac-
ter, believing above all things in the
efficacy of prayer, and at the same
• time ii) deeds as well as prayer. Bo
it chanced that one of her nightly
duties, as a good housekeeper, was
to look under her lied before retir
ing. She looked, of course, for the
devastating burglar.
One night she found him.
Under her lied was the shadowy
outline of the figure of a man.
There could lie no mistake about it
She had found her burglar at last.
The next problem was what to do
with him.
The story, as it is relate*!, does not
state if there was no one in tin-
housetowhom she might have gone
for help, but it implies that the
mother of tho family was obliged to
rely upon her own resources and
supernatural aid alone.
In a hurried review of the situa-
tion she came to the con< !u*iori that
the latter was her only resource,
that alone she was helpless. So she
quickly resolved to do in every way
as »ho would have done if the long
looked for burglar had not been
found
She locked her door—she always
did that—undressed and made her
preparations for bed as she was in
the habit of doing on ordinary and
uneventful occasions. Then she
knelt by her bedside to perform her
nightly devotions. Long and fer-
vently she prayed, praying for the
members of her family, her friends
and for the direction of her daily
lifo. Then she offered a special jie-
tition for the unfortunate men led
from the paths of honesty and recti-
tude, for those who had no respect
for the rights and possessions of
others—she was praying for the
burglar. Having done this, she
arose and laid herself peacefully
down upon the bed, as was her wont.
That was the cue for the burglar
Crawling from under the bed, he
stood beside it and addressed the oc-
cupant :
"Madam," he said, "1 came here
with the intention of robbing you
and of murdering yon if necessary.
Your cries for help would have been
of no avail, fori have two accom-
plices outside. Hut 1 have heard
yourpraycr, and I am going to leave
you unmolested." And ho did.
That was the end of the first part
of the burglar story. Truth being
stranger than fiction, there was a
second part, and the mother of the
family saw her burglar again.
It was at camp meeting some
time after the first part of the story
had been brought to so happy a con
elusion. The mother of tho family
was listening with a devout and
grateful interest to tho testimony
being given Vhon a man aroso and
told his experience— the history of
his con version—and ho told the bur-
glar story and the effect of tho pray-
er from the burglar's standpoint.
"1 was that man," ho said, with
emphasis, as ho concluded his re-
marks.
"And I can vouch for tho truth of
the story," said the mother of the
family, rising, while her face shone
with the light of a great spiritual
rejoicing, "for I was that woman."

Tlie Evils of Gum tlu wIiir.
Aside from being an unpleasant
habit and one not approved as good
form, gum chewing is productive of
facial deformities, which are likely
to increase uutil they distort the
countenance and entirely alter tin;
natural expression. Tho continued
*• «e of one set of muscles enlarges
and strengthens them ami conse-
quently makes them moro promi-
nent. There have been several in
stances where medical advice has
been sought upon the idea that there
was some swelling or enlargement
of the muscles or glands, although
no pain had been felt. Gum ehew-
ers ordinarily use but one side of
the uiouth, thus throwing an undue
amount of work flpon that side of
the face. It is well to distribute
this labor equally between the mus-
cles of the jaws if the practice must
be persisted in.—New York Ledger.
