WHEN THE BURGLARS

IRuie3 For Action— A Detective Makes
Some Suggestions—if You See a Burglar

to Kill. jgp^
/ | NOTICE that the Star from
I time to time lias advocated the
I infliction of the death penalty
* upon conviction of the crime of
housebreaking, holdingthat the burglar
is at heart at ail times a murderer,”
said a headquarters detective, “and
none more heartily concur in this rec
ommendation than the police Of Wash
ington and Of the other large titles.
“The recent cold-blooded murder by
a burglar of A citizen bf Brooklyn ill
the presence bf His Wiffe balls {lie poinl
to mind. It brings up a suggestion or
two regarding these distressing cas
ualties which I recommend to the citi-
zens of Washington as jwhat to do
when you find a burglar in the house.
“First, the best burglar alarm In the
world is a small dog, kept in the house
at night. Whether hiongrel hr tiior
bughbred, lie Sooif becomes accustomed
to the ordinary noises about the preni
tses and in the neighborhood and fa
miliar with the footsteps of the occu
pants of the house. I lodge where
there is a pug; a breed of dog not con
sidered over bright, but 1 will give any
man of peaceful intent, or otherwise,
anew suit of clothes if he can enter
my house and, entering it, move about
that Pups will not detect bis presence
at once. Though she is a little coward,
she will bark the steeple off a church;
and raisb- fefibugh fuss to float a full;
rigged shiii at the slightest untoward
faoise, however faint, though I may
enter the house at any time of the
night or morning and be greeted with
affectionate sniffs anil grunts. The
house is not the place for big dogs,
which, if kept on the outside; are as
likely to bark at eats ns at burglars;
and Iheir usefulness neutralized. Nev
ertheless-, ii large, well-trained dog in
the house is better than no dog at all.
4T,WAYS SHOOT TO KITH.
“Second, if yon see a stranger in
your room and your revolver is close
at band) always shool fit liint id kill;
takd good altn lit his body and ilot at
hla head, as a larger target is pre
sented, and your bullet is more likely
to reach home. You are in all probce
bility not a good Shot, hr; if you arc,
you will more likely miss his head
than his body. Always tire twice, and
thrice if necessary, before you stop.
Ask questions as to his presence in
your room at that hour afterward.
Hnve no more compunction about kill
ing a burglar than you would ft toad
dogt in fact, favor the dog. Always re
hiehibei' that he Is in your house un
lawfully for two purpose* io rob you
aud to kill yon, if necessary; therefore,
whether expert or novice with a gun,
hover r.hoot til wound; phuit .Voiif bul
lets thick and fast into his body,
“Third, If you have a revolver, do
not keep It in tlie bureau drawer, but
under yonr pillow, or within easy
reach by the side of yotu lied sd that
yoil Cati get yonr fingers a .round the
trigger With tlie least possible move
ment, and without getting up. If a
tunn ever tieeds a revolver under these
circumstances he heed* it right away,
and he should not have to go and hunt
It. Lie still in bed and shoot your
would-be murderer full of holes; if you
get up he tony make a sieve of yofl,
never fbrgeititig that he is about the
vilest carrion on earth, nnd is never
willing to give you even n fighting
chnme for your life. It ia always
■dead men tell no tales’ with the
burglar, nnd you should apply the
axiom obligingly to him.
BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT LIOHrS,
“Fourth, if you hear a ‘noise in the
house,’ and your wife hear* It and
want* you to go down, in the cellar
With a light, don't go. Don’t light the
gas, either, to 'see’ what the noise is
about. The darkness makes a perfect
shelter for tlie burglar, while the light
makes of you a perfect target for his
bullet. Many men have been shot to
death or wounded because they fol
lowed the natural impulse to get up
and strike a light. Get yonr revolver
well gripped, lie still and await devel
opments, which are sure to come if the
noise is caused by a burglar. If he
comes into your room fire at him as
soon as you can discern his shadowy
form. If you wish to investigate, do
your exploring in the darkness. You
know your own house; tiro intruder
does not. Yon place the boot ou the
! other foot when you follow this, the
unusual plan, for yon are In the dark.
. and If he is kindly packing up your sil
verware front your dining room side
board to save your hired girl the trott
j ble of keeping it clean, you can kill
him easily if you have the requisite
| nerve. If you haven't, lock yonr deor,
• stick your heard out of the window,
call for tbe police and fire off your
'gnn. You will then scare the fellow
away, at least.
I “Fifth, if yon hare neither revolver
nor nerve, and you hear a burglar in
the house, or think you do. just lie
still and scream good and loud if
you are a woman, and give a Com
anche yeil If you are a man. The
j chances of yonr being shot are <hns
lessened than if you got. up and raised
the roof with your voice. He will
| take the hint and get.out quick. If you
; happen to wake up and find him in
j your room and you are timid, let him
. have your valuables and you lie very
j still. You may replace your valuables,
but not the life he will take if you are
foolhardy enough to tackle him bare
j handed.

shoot with his gun in his hand. He is
wide awake, while, your weapon may
he just but of reach, and as you have
been awakened out of slumber, your
senses are dot as alert, as the man
who will kill without a single thought.
“Setkntlii because you hear a noise
in the house it does not follow that it
is caused by a burglar, or, if you are
a roomer in a lodging house, that the
intruder who has entered your room is
one with evil intent. When a man Is
more or less drunk all doors look alike
to him, nnd I have frequently found
roomers trying my door, nnd even in
my rottril; These conditions are trying
to the nerves; to he sure, but you can.
almost Instinctively feel whether a
mail is there by mistake or witii
burglarious intent. If in your own
house don't be too hasty on the shoot
if it is possible for a member of your
own family to have strayed into your
room while in a fit of somnambulistic
abstraction.
“Eighth, in shooting a burglar, do
not feel thnt you are taking n •human
life;’ The burglar is ft humatt hyena;
and. Us all bf the animal kingdom de
spise the hyena, sd ought the higher
intellectual animals regard the burglar.
He is an Outcast; ait outlaw, n nameless
Creature; Worthy only of execration
and death, nnd compared with whom
the highwayman who gives you at
least a Chance to hand over your valua
bles nnd go. is an houest man. The
burglar is the most villainous of vil
lains, nnd for every one removed from
earth by a bullet, or locked up behind
prison bdr9, iaw-iibkiiiig citizens should
give ft sigh bf relief and a prayer Of
congratulation.”

I have before me a photograph of ft

many ininof variations; characterizes
a iarge class bf Greek vases. But the
neck is so small, and the shoulder of
the body is so pronounced, that the
vessel would have to be completely
inverted to empty it. The ornamental
handle Is shaped and adjusted with
no respect to facility of grasp, or

Sar?d Hi* Muster From a Bear.
The five-year-old son of John To
kens, living on a farm east of Stanton
postoffice, in southeastern Shasta, was
saved from death by a faithful shep
herd dog. The hoy had gone into the
woods with his elder brother hunting,
and the dog accompanied them as com
pany for the small hoy, to whom he
was firmly attached.
A short distance from the farm the
elder Lukens spied a squirrel and gave
chase, the little boy and dog staying
behind. In a short time the cries of
ti* child and baying of the dog
brought the elder Lukens boy back
to the spot wheTc he had left them.
The dog had nearly finished a good
sized brown bear in a bloody fight.
The bear had evidently attacked the
boy and handled him roughly, as sev
eral severe scratches and cuts were
found on his head. The dog appar
ently sprang to the rescue and saved
the youngster’s life. The bear’s hide
now adorns the Lukens' sitting-room

T**k.permute For Hatching: i'-'RRg,
An experimenter writes to Commer
cial Poultry that with five tests lie
found that the temperature for hatch
ing eggs in the incubator may be no.
102 degrees to 101 degrees, and that
Plymouth Rock eggs hatched better
at one. degree higher than was re
quired for Leghorn eggs. That ven
tilation is more Important than the
moisture. That the variation in tem
perature caused by stirring and turn
ing the eggs has a good effect on their
hatching, and that the hen does more
stirring and turning than we give in r
credit for, and that no brood exccis

If the larger size of the Plymouth
Rock eggs, or its darker colored and
thicker shell causes it to require more
heat than the. Leghorn, we think the
same thing might be true of Brahma,

T.ui’K of Crit.
Although not an article of food,
grit is necessary to a bird's welfare,
and must be thought of as a possible
cause of trouble. In mv work of ad
vising in poultry troubles, I have
opened dozens of brooder chicks that
had both crop and gizzard filled with
grit—grit, and nothing else. It is not
safe to place clear grit and nothing else
before little chicks. They are hungry
and will till up on grit alone if that is
a" within reach. It forms a solid im
paction thnt is hard to break down,
and many chicks die as a result of it.
Adult birds shut in during the win
ter months away from (lie soil need
grit, and it must be supplied to have
the birds keep healthy nnd lay eggs.
If kept before them they will help
themselves, and not be obliged to
scratch over the droppings to get filthy
grit that has been through the fowl.
Filth in any form is dangerous to
health, anl being introduced on grit
does not lessen the risk.—Home and
