The butcher shop of John Zureher, on South Blakely street, near the Green Ridge store, was burglarized early yesterday morning and hams, bologna, taken.

The till was also opened and about a dollar in pennies stolen. Entrance was made at a side window. The window was protected by a heavy wire netting and Mr. Zureher, deeming it perfectly safe, had left the window raised over night so as to ventilate the shop. The thieves probably noticed the open window and so planned the job.

Mr. Zureher was seen by The Republican reporter yesterday and said that the amount of meat taken would amount to $23 or $'M. The visitors were undoubtedly partial to bologna and ham, as several sides of beef hanging on hooks were left untouched while everything in the shape of bologna, pudding and ham were taken. Mr. Zureher has no suspicion who the guilty parties are, but promises to make it warm for them if he learns their identity.

I think 1 can, without immodesty, claim to understand mice, for I have made them a study for many years. I used to think that nature supplied mice, wherever there seemed to any call for them. For example, if you live in a house where there are no mice and in a rash moment provide yourself with a mouse trap or set up a cat mice will immediately make their appearance. To the superficial observer this looks as if nature, perceiving that you have a mouse trap, proceeds to supply mice for it, or, noticing that you have a cat, sends mice enough to satisfy the animal. But this is not the true explanation.

In order to understand mice you must grasp the fact that the mouse is nn animal with a keen sense of humor and a love of excitement. With thig key in your possession you can readily unlock the mystery of mice. That the mouse has a sense of humor is conspicuously shown by the way in which he will rattle a newspaper in your bedroom at night. The mouse does not eat newspapers, nor does he put them to any domestic use. He merely makes a noise with them, knowing that of all sounds the midnight rustle of a newspaper is the one which will most successfully bauish sleep from your eyes.

If a mouse finds an eligible newspaper in your bedroom he will settle himself down to a night of fun and jollity. He will rattle that newspaper till morning, and the only effect of throwing boots at him or of getting up and lighting the gns and searching for him with poker will be that he will hide himself till you lie down to sleep anil then resume his little newspaper game. If this does not show a sense of humor it would be difficult to say what it does show. Then there is the well known fact that no sooner docs a mouse trap or a cat enter a house than it is followed hy a troop of mice. Oats and traps draw mice as the pole draws the magnet.

The mouse loves the game of teasing the cat by stimulating tho lutter's hopes of capturing mice. It is considered the height of fun umong mice to scuttle across a room in the presence of a cat and to disappear in a hole just as the cat is ready to pounce. Of course, now and then a too reckless mouse pays the penalty of rashness hy being caught by the cat, but accidents of this kind are more rare among mice than football accidents among men and in no way render mice shy of the game.

One of these heroes was George Dewey, a fine, manly, athletic youth, the pride of the boxing and fencing masters and the terror of all bullies. In Dewey's class was a youth of an excellent bent for applied mathematics, but so tender of physique that he often suffered from the rough horseplay of his elders. Dewey took the boy under his protection, and the two became fast friends. They swung their hammocks in the same watch on their graduating cruise and when the ship touched at Liverpool obtained permission to run up to London on a day's leave. By rigid economy the two had scraped together a little more than 2 apiece, and they landed in the English capital arrayed in spick and span new uniforms, with the air of financial magnates.

A round of sightseeing had reduced their combined capital to two sovereigns and their return tickets when their boyish appetites announced the hour of noon. Willi the cautious economy of his ancestors the Scotsman suggested a chop house, but nothing but the best would suit Dewey, and he accordingly steered his chum into the finest hotel he could find. The two seated themselves at one of the tables and scanned the menu with a magnificent air. The very first item that caught their eyes was "strawberries and cream," and this, with its reminiscence of home, they proceeded to order. Now, the time was winter, and strawberries from the hothouse are expensive in London, so it was small wonder that the other guests who bad learned the order looked inquiringly at these specimens of the jeuuesse dorec of the American navy.

An Oxford lad who sit nest them seemed particularly impressed and turned his large eyes upon them in awe. The strawberries were good, and all went well until the obsequious waiter returned with a bill for 1. The Scotsman nearly col lapsed, but Dewey noticed the eyes of the Oxonian upon him, and, turning superbly to the waiter, ordered two more plates. The middies left with empty pockets, but haughtily conscious that they had saved the honor of the American navy. Saturday Evening Post.
