EE PLAYED BURGLAR
BUT HE DID IT INNOCENTLY AND
DID IT ARTISTICALLY AS WELL.
The Plausible Scheme by Which a
, Safe Expert Was Fooled nnd Used
; by a Trio of Notorious Cracksmen
to Get at Their Plunder.
To the man whose shingle bears the
Inscription "Safe Expert" and whose
little shop, not far from the great dry
goods district contains a full assortment
of implements for the forcible
opening of safes, the writer said,
. "Would you be well qualified to play
the burglar?'
"Yes," said the little keen eyed man,
running his fingers through his scant
hair reflectively. "I once did Dlny
burglar. In fact, I played the star role
in a safe cracking enterprise. I was
the innocent means by which a wholesale
house was robbed of several thousand
dollars which had been taken in
too late in the day to be banked.
"I was in business then in another
city. I was sitting smoking at my
shop door about 8 o'clock one evening

note on the letter paper of a well
i,' known house asking me to come at
once with my tools to the office of the
firm.
"The office was lighted up, and a
portly, prosperous looking man sat at
a roll top desk, while two clerks,
perched on stools, were working at
some books. '
" 'I am Mr. / said the portly one,
giving the name of the head of the
firm. 'Something has gone wrong with
the safe; and I want you to open it
The combination is 6-27-45. but something
must have broken inside, for it
won't open, and we have got to get
some books oat of the safe tonight/
"As I tried the combination which the
man had given me he explained that he
bad locked the safe when he went out
to dinner and was unable to open it
i when he came back."It
was one of those 'alum' filled
safes, and I suspected rust had done its
work inside.
" 'Nothing to do but drill it open,'
said I.
" 'Go ahead,' said the portly one, 'and
don't keep me here any longer than you
can help.'
"With that he turned to his desk, and
I worked away unsuspectingly. There
was dead silence except when the man
at the desk spoke to one or the other
of the clerks about some account, and
the tread of the policeman on that beat
could be heard as he passed the office.
"I did not realize until afterward that
I was working out of view of the passing
policeman, for the safe was behind
the bookkeeper's desk, but the shade^
were up and the man at the roll top
desk and thte bookkeepers could be
plainly seen from the street.
"I got out my bits, adjusted the
brace, and soon steel was biting steel,
but the sound of the ratchet was drowned
bv the click of the typewriter, for
the portly party began dictating to one
of the clerks as soon as I began drilling
the safe. When I thought it all over
afterward, it occurred to me that this
war to cover the sound of my opera
tions.
"In half an hour I had a hole in the
front of the safe, and a little manipulation
got the tumblers into place, and
the door swung open.
" 'Here you are. sir/ said I, and the
portly man came around to the safe.
"'Very neatly done,' he said. 'You'd
make a good burglar.'
" 'But the sound of the ratchet would
bring the "cops," ' said I.
" True.' remarked the man. and,
drawing out a roll of bills, he handed
me $20.
*"Is that right? he asked.
" 'Quite right' I replied. 'Shall I come
in the morning to fix the safe?
"'No,' said he, 'I will hove the makers
of the safe attend to it'
"As 1 gathered ud my tools the portly
man directed one of the clerks to
get out the books th8t were needed,
and be went back to the desk.
"1 trundled back to my shop, meeting
the policeman at the corner, and
while I'was stauding chatting with
bira the trio came out of the office.
"'You can come down an hour later
than usual in the morning:.' saia iae
portly man as he climbed into a hanBom
that had rolled up to the office,
and, shouting the name of a "well
known dub to the driver, he pulled
the doors to and was driven away.
"Before noon the next day the policeman
whom 1 had talked with and
a detective came into my shop.
** 'That was a neat job you did last
night.' said the policeman.
" 'What?' I asked, the nature of the
work 1 had done not yet dawning on
me.
M 'The looting of ?'s safe,' said the
policeman. 'Come along.'
"The portiy person who employed i
me to open the safe was a well known
burglar who had 'made up' to impersonate
the head of the firm, and the
two clerks were confederates, one of
whom had got a place with the firm
to get the lay of the land.
"They had taken possession of the
office after it was closed for the day,

boldly sent for me to 'do the job,' neatJy
possessed themselves of nearly $4,000
that was in the safe and were
across the Canadian border before the
robbery was discovered when the office
was opened the next day.
"I told my story to the magistrate
and was released on bonds to appear
as a witness when the trio were
caught
"The papers called me 'the innocent
burglar.' the name stuck to me and
hurt my business, and the police were
rather attentive to me, so I came here
some years ago."?New York Times.

HURRY UP7
Everywhere orie hears that expression
"hurry up!" It is a genuine Americanism
expressive of the
tv "rush" in which we

WHY NOSES POINT EAST.
A Theory "Which la Plausible, but
Rather Rldlcnloas.
Very few people's noses are set propperly
upon their faces. Any observant
person who will go along the street and
take notice of the nasal organs of the
passerby may easily convince himself
on the subject. Not one individual in
a hundred, whether man or woman, Is j
aimvp criticism as to the arrangement j
of his or her nose.
One might think that nature is a little
careless about this matter. When
the nose turns off at an angle instead
of assuming its just and proper attitude,
it tends, at all events in extreme
cases, to give a disordered effect to the
features, as a v.*hole. but if nature really
does not care -which way a nose j
points there ought to be as many noses j
turned one way as are turned the other.
But is this the case? Not a bit of it !
As you walk down the street look at
the people as they go by, and you will
discover that the noses of ninety-nine
out of every hundred turn to the right
When once you have begun to notice ;
this fact, it will constantly attract j
your attention. In truth, the objection
to starting in upon a study of this
kind is that you cannot get away from
it afterward. It haunts you steadily
and persistently. Whenever you meet
a friend you look at his nose to make
sure whether it turns to the right or
not
Now, the phenomenon being as described,
what is the reason behind it?
Why should nearly everybody's nose
turn to the right rather than to the
left? There seems to be only one way
to account for it and that is that al- i
most everybody is right handed and j
uses his handkerchief correspondingly;
so from infancy to old age the nose in
the process of being blown and wiped
is persistently tweaked to the right; !
hence as the infant passes through !
childhood and later youth?when the i
nasjil organ is flexible and in process !
of formation, so to speak?it is obliged
gradually but surely to assume an in- I
ciination eastward.
If this theory be correct the noses of
left handed persons ought to turn customarily
to th? left. Such, in fact, ap- ;
pears to be the case, but data on thi?
interesting branch of the question are
not sufficiently complete to afford a
final conclusion. ? Saturday Evening

I take great pleasure in giving the
very highest testimonial to Dr.
Baker's Blood and Liver Cure. I
used it in 1895 Inflammatory Rheumatism.
I was severely afflicted
with the disease and tried my family
physician, in addition to various
remedies, without effect. I procured
some of the above medicine, and before
using a bottle of it I could walk
without my crutches, and by the
time I had used a bottle and a half,
I felt entirely well, and have not
suffered any since. I cheerfully recommend
it, and believe it will do
all its propietors claim for it.

THE GOLDEN POPPY,
Dazzling, Blazing: BIokkotus That
Greeted the California Pioneers.
Far out at sea gleaming sheets of
dazzling gold arrested the gaze of the
early explorers of California. Blazing
along the Pacific coast, embroidering
the green foothills of the snow capped
Sierra Madres, transforming acres and
acres of treeless plains into royal cloth
of gold, millions of llowers of silky texture
and color of gold fascinated the
Spanish discoverers. An eminent botanist,
Eschscboltz, at once classified
the plant, and his followers conferred
his name upon this the only native
American pa paver.
Drvamlikein beauty, fascinating from
WW?fcawa?.
sheer loveliness, spreading m son undulations
over the land, the California
poppy bloomed above the richest views
and arteries of gold the world has ever
known, all unsuspected. A Circe, with
powers to please, dazzle and charm by
its enchantments, while it allures, lulls
and mystifies, this fiower of sleep seemed
to draw by some occult process from
the earth the elixir of gold, unfolding
its blooms of gold as beacons proclaiming,
"We are blooming above rich mines
of gold."
There is ever a mystery about the
poppy. It is a weird fiower. It is almost
sentient, with a life unknown to
human kind. "While glory guards with
solemn trend the bivouac of the dead"
stealthily a sea of gore creeps over the
old battlefields. P.iood red. the poppies
in waves and billows hold high carnival
above the soil that covers the slain.
Lord Maeaulay says of the battlefield
of Xeerwinden: "The summer after the
battle the soil, fertilized by 20.000 dead,
broke forth into millions of blood red
?? * - i? cii.
poppies. 'lne traveler iroiu 01. nyiiu
to Tirlemont who saw that vast field
of rich scarlet stretching from Harden
to Neerwinden could hardly help fancying
that the figurative description of
the Hebrew prophet was literally accomplished:
that "the earth was disclosing
her blood and refusing to cover
her slain." Bayard Taylor in "The
Lands of the Saracen" says he contemplated
with feelings he could not deScribe
"the old battlefields of Syria,
densely covered with blood rod poppies,
blooming in barbaric splendor,
gloating on the gore of soldiers slain."
However interesting the poppy may
be to men of science and to lovers of
the beautiful, it is yet more so to th*
people of California. This beautiful,
weird, gold colored flower of gossamer
texture belongs to California" alone.
Nowhere else in the world has it ever
made its habitat There it is naturally
so profuse that it is related as a fact
that coming on a turn full face upon

Solds Up A Congressman.
"At the eDd of the campaign"
writes Champ Clark, Miosouri's brilliant
congressman, "from overwork,
nervous tension, loss of sleep and
constant speaking I had about utterly
collapsed. It seemed that all the
organs in my body were out of order,
but three bottles of Electric Bitters
made me all right. It's the best allaround
medicine ever sold over a
druggist's counter." Over worked,

women gain splendid health and
vitality from Electric Bitters. Try

Foods find Appetite.
In some, good advice given in print bv
a physician the theory held by faddists
in special foods, wamuired to perform
marvels of health and restoration, is
exploded. "Don't," says this writer,
"imagine that you can grow strong on
foods that you dislike. Better fried
ham and chocolate cake with a good
appetite than a health cereal with milk
and disgust."
One would hesitate, perhaps, to follow
strictly the fried ham and chocolate
cake dictum to the letter, but it is
undoubtedly true that at the moment
many persons almost starve themselvea
I because they have no appetite for the
various so called health foods, which
alone they fancy they can eat Above
and beyond the choice of food is moderation
in partaking of it and relish for
what is eaten.?New York Post
The East and the West.
A man from the west whog was recently
visiting Maine fell into conversation
with a quiet old farmer on a
train. He was full of the greatness of
the west and talked about the big
^arms and big crops of his particular
section and wound up by saying. "I
[ suppose you do manage to pick a
I living on these little Maine farms.
The old Maine farmer smiled sadly
and replied: "Yes, and a few years ago
some of us invested money in your sec!
tion. and it is there yet. It was a per
j manent investment I guess."
The western man changed the conversation.?New
York Tribune.
A Poison Without an Antidote.
Some persons are advocating a substitute
for death by electricity and hanging.
They have advocated poisoning,
j Well, nothing could be more effective
! or painless that execution by means of
j a capsule filled with hydrocyanic acid.
I It might be served without the knowlj
edge of the convict, and death would
! be so sudden and so certain that there
| could be no resurrection. A single drop
placed ou the tongue of a big dog
causes instant death. A half teaspoonful
taken by a man will cause him to
drop as if struck by lightning. There
is no antidote.
Won't Follow Advice After
Paying for It.
In a recent article a prominent
! physician says, "It is next to impcssi!
ble for the physician to get his
! patients to carry out any prescribed
| course of hygiene or diet to the
i smallest extent; he has but one re;
cnrt. nqmplv. thedru.o-treatment."
; When medicines are used for chrcnic
| constipation, the most mild and

laiu's Stomach and Liver Tablets,

not followed by constipation as they
