HOW CRACKSMEN WORK A JOB.

The Many Persona with Whom a Thief Has to Divide His Plunder. “Suppose,” asked a reporter of a well-known ex-detective, “that I had $5,000 worth of diamonds and other jewelry stolen from my house, how much would I have to pay ; the thieves or middlemen to get the property back ?” “Well, there are many things connected with the business which might suggest many different answers. ” “What business ?” “The business of thieving, for it is a business and has several grades. For instance, the men who robbed Alexander Lewis and David Whitney were not the men who did the ltolshoven work. The perpetrators of that job consider themselves several degrees above ‘ porch-climbers ’ who rob dwellinghouses, and Would not even recognize them on the street or elsewhere. ” “How do you know all this?” “I,do not absolutely know the facts -in the instance cited, but I form my conclusion on my knowledge of thieves of all classes, and their code Of ethics. A safe-breaker is an aristocrat when he meets a porch-climber, and in fact they strive to avoid meeting or associating with persons any lower in thiefdom than themselves.” “Now, to return to the question of returning stolen property for a reward and no questions asked, what do you know of the methods?” “Ip the first place, nine out of ten of the safe-blowing jobs are ‘put up’ by persons living in the town where the work is done. They * size up’ the enterprise and send for some one to do the trick who is particularly good at that kind of work. That some one comes from abroad generally. Thus it follows that there are four persons or gangs of persons, who know just who does a job as quickly as the news comes that it has been done.” ~ ; “And who are the persons thus in informed ?” “First, the person or persons who ‘put up’ the job; second, the ‘fence* who receives the property; third,, the thieves who do the work; and fourth, the associates of the thieves, who live in the town they hail from, and who know that they have left home to do the work. Now, then, all of these parties watch the papers and use every means to keep posted in relation to each job, and the minute any reward is offered or any settlement is made, they clamor for their ‘whack,’ and generally get it.” “But suppose a thief leaves Chicago, Toledo, or Cleveland to do a job in Detroit, how do his associates know where he has gone or what he does ?” “Because they know the thief is out of town, and they know the kinds of work he does and his methods of work. ” “I see. Now, how much would a thief get on $5,000 worth of plunder?” “From 40 to 50 per cent, of the total valuation. You see it's this way; the party who ‘puts up’ the job ‘steers’ the thief to a ‘fence.’ We’ll say the ‘fence’ whacks up half and half with the thief. Then the person who puts up the job calls on the ‘fence’ for a divy of 15 or 20 per cent, of his 50 per cent., and on the thief for a like shair of his half.” This statement being a trifle complicated, the detective prepared the following table illustrating liis half.Value of property stolen $5,000 Share received by “fence”.., 2,500 Share received by thief..............;...... 2,500 Commission paid by “fence”.,............. 500 Commission paid by thief 500 Reward received by party who "puts up” the job 1,000 Profit received by “fence” 2,000 Profits received by thief 2,000 “Then, to satisfy the thief, provided I wanted to recover my property by paying a reward, I should be obliged to give him the $2)000 lie’d realize on a $5,000 haul!” “Ob, dear, no. You would be obliged to pay fees to all the parties I have mentioned. They are all in the job, and must have their ‘whack’ just the same whether they dispose of it to a ‘fence.’ There would be this difference: Considering the safety that would follow all concerned by restoring the property to you and no questions asked, the ‘putter up’ of the job, the thief, afid the ‘fence’ would consent to smaller profits. Accordingly, on $5.000 worth of property stolen you would be obliged to pay SI,OOO to $2,000 to get it back.” “But hold on! You’ve left oqt the whack clamored for by the associates of the thieves at their home.” “That the thief is obliged to settle for after he returns to his home, and if he fails or refuses to do the square thing, then some one ‘squeals’ to our police, an officer picks up the squealer, and sometimes works out the ‘kick’ to conviction. But there is sometimes trouble there, for a man who will‘blow 5 on a partner will settle with him on the shortest notice, leaving the officer entirely at sea and without witnesses or any evidence. ” “It’s a sort of dog-eat-dog occupation which thieves engage in,.isn’t it?” “It certainly is, and in the long run every dog becomes food for some other dog.” —Detroit Free Press.

A Certain Cure.

One of the most amusing of q,ll hobbies is the medicine hobby,—and generally, in case of a person who rides a cure-all theory to death, the amusement is at his expense. Here, however, the monomaniac proved level-headed at a short turn, and showed real wit: An old Newport lady is a great believer in coal oil as a cure for everything; pi fact, as a cure-all, she got coal oil on the brain. And a few evenings ago, while some old women friends were calling on her, one of them said:— “I don’t know what’s the matter with my Johnny’s knee. It’s swelled, and it makes him so lame he can hardly walk.” “Bathe it with coal oil,” said the old lady. “I’ll guarantee you it’ll cure it.” Another one said, “My Sarah has such a pain between the eyes.” “Well, all she’s got to do is to rub it well with coal oil three or four times a day, and it’ll cure her,” hastily remarked the old lady. . "V “Well,” said the third woman, “I aint got nobody sick about my house, but if a body hasn’t got trouble one" way, she’s got it in another. All I can do I can’t get my Jennie to stay at home of evenings.” “Bub her with coal oil,” said the old lady, in good earnest, “and I’ll guarantee you it’ll feure her.”

Anecdotes of Ole Bull.

It is no secret that Ole Bull was the musician portrayed in Longfellow’s “Tales of the Waysidei Inn.” His name brings back the merfiory of vast audiences, every eye and evqry ear delightedly intent on that majestic and graceful son of the Vikings, fairhaired, blue-eyed, “poising in his outstretched hand the bow, like a magician’s wand.” vMany picturesque scenes are to be found in the story of his three score and ten years. The first is of a little child, who had learned his musical notes with his primer, and as he played in the meadow had fancied he heard the bluebells ring and the grasses accompanying them with the most enrapturing fine voices. Already he had owned one little fiddle, “yellow as a lemon,” and now his father had’ consented to buy him another. He shall tell what happened that night: “I could not sleep for thinking of my new violin. When.l heard father and mother breathing deep, I rose softly and lighted a candle, and in my nightclothes did go on tiptoe to open the case and take one little • peep. The violin was so red, and the pretty pearl screws did smile at me so! I pinched the strings just a little with my fingers. It smiled at me ever more and more. I took up the bow and looked at it. It said to me it would be pleasant to try it across the strings. So I did try it, just a very, very little, and it did sing to me so sweetly! Then I did creep farther away from the bedroom. At first I did play very soft. I make very, very little noise. "But presently I did begin a capriecio which I like very much; and it did go ever louder and louder, and I forgot that it was midnight and that everybody was asleep. Presently I hear something go crack, and the next minute I feel my father’s whip across niy shoulders. My little red violin dropped on the floor and was broken. I wept much for it, but did no good. They did have a doctor to it next day, but it never recovered its health.” Again we see him, “a youth to fortune and to fame ” but little known, summoned to play before a private party of Italian princes at Lucca. After the introduction by the piano had been played, a buzz of conversation was kept up, in which the Queen Dowager of Naples was taking a prominent part. Dobler, the pianist, whispered to Ole Bull not to mind it and begin his solo, but lie quietly placed his violin under his arm in the attitude of waiting. The Duke of Lucca, whose home it was, stepped forward and asked if he desired anything. “I am quite ready, your Grace, but fear to interrupt the conversation. The Queen Dowager has probably something of importance to impart, and I would not disturb her. ” Saying lie would speak to her, the Duke crossed the room, and, after a whispered sentence, she lifted her eyeglass to scan the spirited young artist; but he was not again annoyed by conversation, and afterward the Queen Dowager showed herself his warm and influential friend.— Good Cheer .

He Depended on Himself.

The Kev. ‘Wliangdoodle Baxter met one of tlie male members of his flock, and at once addressed him: “Why, Mose,” he said, “flow stout yuse gittin’. Ynse gittin’ mighty fat an’ corjjulent; in mighty fine order, I tells yer. Dar’s nuffin’ lean about you, fizzically, but spiritually yuse thinner dan a rail. Yo’ doan lean on de Lord enuff.” 7“ “I kin ’splain all dat ar,” said Mose. “How does yer ’splain it, Mose ?” “I did lean on de Lord an’ ebbery Sunday I listened ter yer preachin’, an’ I got as poali as Job’s turkey,” “But liow does yer ’splain it ? How does ver ’count fer de transformation?” “Why, doan yer see? Yo’furnishes de ’ligion an’ I does my own fattenin’,” —Texas Siftings.

His Business.

A lad who is engaged at the correspondent’s desk in a large, concern surprised his mother by saying: “Well, mother, I’m in thelickerbusiness now. ” ~ “What’s that? You don’t mean to say you have given up your place and gone to selling whisky?” “No, ma’am; but I’m in the licker business all the same. ” > “How ? What kind of liquor ?” “Why, mamma, deaiV-JL lick the stamDs for the letters.”" He shut the door just in time.—Merchant Traveler.

Solid Comfort.

“Maria,” said Dovelop to his wife at the breakfast table, who was perfectly regardless of her looks, and thoroughly hardened to appearances, “you would be handsome if your face was clean.” “I don’t want to be handsome,” she said, shortly. “You don’t ?” he asked in surprise. “No, I’d rather take my solid comfort in a dirty face any day, than be a slave to appearances, as some people are!" she answered, wrathfully. —Carl Pretzel's Weekly. The convicts in Joliet Penitentiary make all the tobacco used in that large prison. A room is fitted np with presses and all necessary machinery for making plug tobacco, the best of raw material provided, and as the Warden is not required to pay any tax under the revenue laws, the convicts, nearly all of whom use the weed, are provided at cost. The re-ftenne tax on the amount used would be $2,500 per annum.— Chicago Tobacco World,

The Multiplication of Diseases.

Diseases multiply. One begets another. A trifling indisposition may, therefore, originate a complication of dangerons maladies. Indigestion begets far more formidable diseases: a multitude of ailments are traceable to constipation; fever and ague unbinges the entire nervous system, and is, therefore, the source-of the proteau ailments which affect that portion of the human' organism. Hos tetter’s Stomach Bitters,' howewer, whether resorted to at the inception of those disorders of the stomach, bowels, or liver, tvhich give birth to the majority of diseases and disabilities, or taken when thev have ripened into formidable maturity, are alike powerful to care. The process of recovery is, of course, longer when the malady has gained headway, but it is none the less certain. Dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, kidney complaints, and intermittent fever, invariably yield ta the operation of the great alterative and inVi gorant,

A TRUE FAIRY STORY.

In a large and beautiful castle lived three sisters. The two oldest were handsome aftd proud, aud their names wore Mary Maud and Maud Marian. The youngest was neither handsome nor proud, and her name was Triste. Triste, afi you know, means sad or afflicted, and this Triste was named for her condition. She had once had a prettier name —Rosabel, in fact, —but everybody now called tier ‘Triste the Sad. She stayed In a small room,' without windows, at the very top of the castle, as far away as she could possibly get from the singing and laughing, and music and all the good times that were continually going on in the gardens and rooms below, where her sisters lived. Here in this little dark room, when it was morning, poor Triste would always say, “Wpuld God It were evening!” and when it was evening she would always say, “Would God it wore morning!” and these two remarks were all the remarks she ever made. Once an Evil Eye had looked hard Upon Triste and mode her ugly and deformed. She had bunches and swellings, she was liinpy and trembling, and her face—Well, if you looked at it once you did not care to look again. As for the aches and pains that darted and criscrossed and zigzaged through her, one would-not suppose that a little thin body like hers could make room fbr so many. So Triste stayed in her dark room, and made her morning aud her evening remark day after day, while Mary Maud and Maud Marian went to the balls and the tournaments and the feasts. Whenever the sounds of mirth and music from below where loud enough to reach Triste’s room at the top of the castle, she would throw her face into her hands and weep, and the weeping and the making her two remarks were all the amusements she had. But after a while something wonderful happened. One morning as Triste was sitting in her room wishing it was evening, 6he heard a new sound. It was not the mirth and music, it was not the clumsy-footed servant bringing up the dreadful gruels, it was something coming up the winding-stairs with a raptapping noise. The taps came on, and finally Triste’s door opened and a little, old, bentover woman with a walking-stick came in. The little old woman’s face was white and wrinkled, her hair was white as snow, but eyes were black and so very bright that they lit up a space around her like a couple of candles and made Triste’s dark room quite light. The little old woman tapped three . times on the floor with her walking stick and looked round the room. “I am your godmother,’’ she said, when she saw Triste up in the corner; “you don’t remember me, but I remember you; I didn't forget you, my poor child.” , “Oh, would God it were evening!” said Triste, trying to be sociable, and meaning, perhaps, “Good-morning,” or “How do you do?” or something like that, “Hark ye, goddaughter,” said the godmother, “do you want to go to the tournament with your sisters? Do you want to sit down at the feasts? Do you want to have the brave young knights and princes, with their snow-white plumes and their coal-black chargers, come riding to woo you as they come to woo your sisters? Do you want to sing? Do you want to laugh? Do you want to dance?”-- —— : —- Then Triste put her head into her hands and began to cry by way of varying the sociability. ry v

“Stopyour crying, goddaughter,” said the godmother, tapping her three taps on the floor again, and as Triste raised her head she shone upon her with her beautiful eyes and dried up the tears, and while her eyes were shining she went on talking: “I was your godmother when you were christened Rosabel. When the Evil Eve otruck you and cursed you, and you were turned into Triste the Sad, I did not desert you like the others. I have been wandering over the world ever since to find the Fairy that could take off the curse of that Evil Eye. I have wandered, wandered—oh, how 1 have wandered! I was handsome, and straight as a poplar tree; I am old and crooked, but Ido not care, —I have found the Fairy. It ran from me, it flew, it hid, it went up and down, it was never there when I put my hand on it, —but 1 got it at. last.” And the godmother tapped her three taps, and laughed three merry laughs, that ran round the wrinkles in her face like streaks es quicksilver. “ I found it, T put it into a bottle and corked it down tight; I have brought it to you.” The godmother drew from under the traveltattered cloak a bottle, in which was a white Fairy, dimpling and sparkling, and making funny little fairy bows and gestures. The godmother laughed her three merry, quicksilvery laughs again as she held it up and looked at it. “It is meek and quiet enough now,” said. “When a Fairy is once caught it gives up. It will perform its mission. Do us it bids you and it will take off the curse of that Evil Eye.” The godmother pressed the Fairy into Triste’s hand, and before Triste had got over being perfectly dazed at the gift, the godmother was tapping down the winding-stair with her walking-stick, and Triste was left alone with the bottled Fairy. How long it took her to get over being dazed; how soon she released the Fairy from the bottle; what it said and what it did, first, .second, and last, we can all put into fairy history for ourselves. However and whatever the ways and means, it is certain that those frolicsome aches and pains, which had made of Triste their exercise grounds and camping places, were routed out, hip and thigh, little and big. She stopped making ' her two remarks and learned some new ones. Aud she began to tire of her room without windows; and she got so orave and strong that she would sometimes at night, when the garden was still and dark, wrap herself -all round and steal down the winding stair, to walk under the trees, and to look at the stars and the moon.

From looking at the stars and the moon she wanted to look at the sun. And one glad day, right in the very brightest sunshine, Triste walked boldly into the garden. The birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, the lakes, the trees, the fountains—everything was glorious and wonderful. Sho walked on with estrange brightness and easiness, and so happy she did not know whether it was the birds she heai-d singing, or some kind of music within herself. She stopped beside a fountain, and as she glanced in, the silver water smiled back to her with a fresh, happy face—such a fresh, happy face, so free from those old deformities and marks of the Kvil Eye, that Triste cried out for joy; and yet such a wonderful change it was, she did not halt believe it was her owjj reflection she saw in the water. She did not half believe it until the old godmother came from behind some shrubbery, laughing her quicksilvery laughs fast and loud, and saying, “Ho! ho! ho! Rosabel! Rosabel!” whenever she got a chance between the laughs. And Mary Maud and Maud Marian, who happened to be walking in the garden, heard the laughing and came to the fountain, and when they saw and understood they pressed Triste in their arms, crying for joy over her, and calling her their beautiful Rosa. And so it was ever afterwards, Mary Maud, Maud Marian, and Rosabel were the three sisters that lived in the castle. Triste the Sad was never more heard from. The little room at the top of the castle was locked up, and the key lost forever. When Rosabel went up to take a last look at her old room sho found that.the dear little Fairy had departed, but on the deserted bottle bad left its name,—Dr. R. V, Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. The above is perfectly true in all but the thin varnish of its setting forth, and, indeed, the truth in it has considerably crackled and rubbed off even that thin coating. Do we not all know sad afflicted ones, to whom life is a curse on account of painful and deforming disease? Restless, discouraged souls, who say In the morning, “Would God It were evening:” and in the evening, “ Would God it were morning;” dragging out their weary days with no expectation of anything better this side of the grave. - j If Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will 'do what it claims to do it is surely a golden gift to humanity; that It trill do exactly what it claims hardly admits of a doubt, if we take into consideration the responsibility and position of its voucher, and the thousands of most trustworthy witnesses to its wonderful power in their individual capos Dr. Pierce is well known to the general public, not only tot fit* Golden Discovery, but

also -in connection with the World’s Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel at Buffalo, N. Y.; ns author of The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, and other piedical works of great practical value; and as originator and proprietor of scvcial specific remedies, one of which, the alterative “Piorce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets," and his great -Golden Medical Discovery” work together as allies in the cure of certain diseases. He is a physician of large practice and experience, who. in a rational and scientific way, has made a-Hfe-study of disease, its Causes and cures, under the most favorablecirCumstanoes for such study; and the “Discovery" is the result,of ro uch observation, experiment and research. He does not claim that it will cure everything, or that there are not individual cases beyond its reach; but he does claim that it is a powerful remedy for chronic diseases of the liver, blood and lungs, and that from these as root diseases spring many of the most dangerous and painful maladies of humanity. The list of diseases for which he recommends the “Discovery” is necessarily large, since it must take in all the shoots and branches that spring from these root diseases, each shoot and branch having its particular name and manifestation, and its particular degree of pain and danger to the human system. It takes in thus our consumptions, our kidney diseases, our slckheadaches. our heart diseases, the whole long, loathsome list of what are called “bad*blood" diseases, our dyspepsias* dropsies, agues, asthmas, and many others, by far too numerous to mention. j - - - - The Discovery has been tried and proved, and is now solidly established upon its own merits. Scarcely a town or village from which some testimonial, of its use and value has not been received. Many of those testifying sav that after haying spent hundreds of dollars upon medicines and physic:ans,and their cases having been pronounced hopeless, the Golden Medical Discovery has raised them to health and strength. It unquestionably has grappled with thousands of “hard oases” in the form of disease, and come off victor, and Dr. Pierce has the spoils of conquest in the way of increased reputation and the thanks and blessing of cured and rejoicing humanity. Dear, hesitating, sick reader, you are suffering the same kind of ills from which thousands of others have been relieved by the Golden Medical Discovery, perhaps it will not cure you. You may be differently constituted from other people; your system may be constructed on a new and original plan, and work on peculiar methods and principles. But, after all, it is quite probable that you are made a good deal like other folks, and that what will cure others will, under about the same conditions, cure you. If you use the Golden Medical Discovery your name will soon go down on the long list of the cured and rejoicing. The Buddhists have a pretty fable of a tree, called the red tree of Koumboum, each leaf_ of which bears In relief a letter, all the letters spelling out a poem to Buddha, and this vegetable poem being beautifully varied year after year as the tree renewed its foliage! If the vegetable life, whatever it may be, from which Dr. Pierce gets the wonderful remedial agents of his Golden Medical Discovery, were thus to spell out the rejoicing of those it had blessed, we should have a poem to match that of the red tree of Koumboum, like it varying itself season by season as new cases and causes of rejoicing were givep.

Too Well Educated.

“Well, Cob 8.,” said a friend of education in Kentucky to a member of the Legislature, “I suppose we can have yout support this winter ?” “What fur?” “In our educational interests, of course. We are agitating the question, you know, all over the State.” “Dog on your educational interests. I don’t want no more of it in my tea.” “My dear Colonel, you surprise me! What makes you talk that way ? Are you not in favor of education 7" “No, siree, I hain’t.” “Why not?” “Well; because I hain’t. It makes more work for me. Yon see, before I was eddicated all I had to do was to make a cross-mark fur my name, but now I’ve got to wrassel with a pen-pint half an hour, and run my tongue out like a slice of liver, jest because I’m eddicated and kan sign my name. Go and try some of them ignorant members. I’m too well eddicated myself to be fooled any furder.” —Merchant Traveler. It many times falls out that we deem ourselves much deceived by others because we first deceived ourselves. He who is false to present duty breaks a thread in the loom and will find the flaw when he may have forgotten its cause. The age of miracles has not passed. A Burlington mother has miraculously cured her youngest hopeful of smoking by the paying on of hands.
