Well, I have been going to school, but
my school was out the 5th of December.
Most of the girls cried when we went to

happy New Year. I remain its true

Drar Editor—Once more I claim a
small space in your valuablo paper. 1
hope I am not intruding. I know that
horrid waste basket is standing there
with an open mouth ready to catch all
that falls from your hands, but hope my
letter will, instead of falling into that
basket, receive a welcome. There were
but few letters in our last paper. I
hope our little cousins are not losing in
terest in our column. Amanda Smith,
write again, I enjoy your letters. Can
any cf onr little cousins tell me where
the word handkerchief is found in the
Bible? Wishing t' e Southern World
a happy and prosperous New Year, I
remain your little cousin. •

The Rich Man’s Eear of Burglars
—The Story of au Electrician.
Buffalo, N. Y., Newt.
At the dead of night, Mr. J. R. An
thony, a wholesale grocer of Troy, N.
Y., was awakened by his burglar alarm
annunciator, which told him that his
house had be p n entered through the
roof scuttle. He hastily dresses, rings
for a policeman, hurries to the upper
story, at-1 hears the burglar in the ser
vant’s room, threatening her with in
stant death if she made a loud noise.
He was captured, convicted and sen
tenced to Sing Sing prison for ten years.
So said Mr. C. H. Westfall, the elec
trician of Westfield, N. Y., to our re
porter.
*' Do city residents generally use bur
glar alarms?”
” Yes, all first-clasB houses are pro
vided with them and I have never had
any dissatisfaction from my customers,
many of whom are the best known and
wealthiest people of New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, and other large cities.”
" Do wealthy men have much fear of
burglars?”
‘‘Asa rule, wealthy men do not keep
valuables in their house, and yet they
are not sure that they shall escape bur
glarious attacks, and they don’t feel se
cure without a first-class burglar alarm
apparatus in their house. Every door,
window and scuttle is connected with
the annunciator, and it is quite impossi
ble to effect an entrance without the
fact becoming at once known.”
‘‘Don’telectricians run considerable
risk in handling wires?”
“ Even the most careful of them some
times get a shock. A few years ago,
while I was descending stairs at Elmira,
N. Y., with a wire coil in my hand, I
felt as if I had received the entire charge
from the battery. For over a half hour
I suffered the keenest agony. I did not
know hut what I had been fatally in
jured. After completing my business
circuit, I returned to Boston, and for
eighteen months did not get uver the
shock. I lost my appetite; all food
tasted alike. I could not walk across
the common without resting several
timeB.”
‘‘My head whirled, and I reeled like
a drunken man. I consulted the best
physicians in a good many large cities,
but none of them seemed to understand
my case. About a year ago I was in
Albany, and a physician there stated
that I would probably not live three
months. But to-day,” said Mr. West-
fall, and he straightened himself up
with conscious pride, “ so far as I know,
I am in perfect health. I weigh 170
pounds, eat well, sleep well, feel well,
and am well. One of my old physicians
gave me a thorough examination a few
weeks ago, and told me that 1 whs in a
perfect condition.”
“ You are a very fortunate man, sir,”
remarked the scribe, “to have escaped
instant death after an electrical shock.”
“O, it was not electricity that pros
trated me. It was a uremic convulsion
For all my physicians told me I was a
victim of a very serious kidney disorder.
And when they and a dozen widely ad
vertised medicines failed to benefit me,
warner's safe cure restored me to per
fect health. That preparation is invalu
able to every grade of society, for it is a
prireless blessing.’’
“ There is no need of death from hand
ling electrical wires if the operators will
exercise care. In our burglar alarm at
tachments there is no possible danger
from that source.”
