ripened into the warmest regard and

of Burr is the first incident in his career

of an ambitious young soldier and

Presidency in 1900. This, in the face of
pretty plain intimations that an alliance
with one of the most powerful families
was in his power. Few modern ladies
can boast a lover so bold and ardent as
was Burr. Through winter snow and
April mud, in darkness or storm, he
thought nothing of a gallop of seven or
eight miles for quiet evening beside the
lady of his choice; and this in troublous
times, through country full of enemies,
and with the knowledge that many an
annbuscade was laid for his capture. One
of the most characteristic of these es-
capades occurred in 1779, he being at the
time in command of the Westchester
lines, with his headquarters at White
Plains, some eight miles east of the
Hudson. One dark night Burr deCaiIed
six of his trustiest troopers to have ready
at point near the present Sunnyside a
large barge well supplied with blankets
and buffalo skins. At s p. m. he left the
camp, galloped leisurely TO the river,
inspecting guards and outposts on the
way and reached the barge about nine.
Then his horse was quickly thrown and
tied, and with his rider ferried over the
river. Reaching the other side the
steed was quickly loosed,

The revenue raiders have some very
thrilling experiences sometimes. A few

In the party was a very quiet but utterly
fearless young fellow named Lee Cape.
The party approached distillery in
which five men were at work, and as the
place was being surrounded the neon

going wrong. They made wild dash,
every man going in different direction.

and eighteen inches deep. The night

A Very Curious Case.

= Several days ago Alvin q. Dixon. Tax
Collector of Blout county, left home, say
ing he was going on his collecting
rounds. and intrusted to his wife's keep
ing about 81 700 of the county's money.
The same night Mrs. Dixon found a nan,
who appeared to be negro, trying to
break into the house, and shot him dead
with a pistol. The man was then found
to be her husband with his face blacken-
ed. Dixon had devised a scheme for
getting the money he had let at home
under circumstances that would prevent
suspicion attaching to him, but he had
made the fatal mistake of failing to take
his wife into lis confidence.
This mistake could hardly have proved
fatal, however, but for a mere chance.
After Dixon left home peddler came to
the house ann asked for lodgings for the
night. Mrs. Dixon accommodated him,
lItle thinking he would do her terrible
service before the night was over. But
the peddler had pistol, and this was
borrowed from him by Mrs Dixon, and
proved the instrument of her husband s
death.
Had Dixon got the money left with
his wife and published that it was stolen
his story would hardly have been dis
credited IN his county. He was regard.

people he served, as had been demon
strated by his repeated election to his
Office. His family is good and there was
nothing in his record or situation to sug

rye and corn is the vernacular drink OF
the western people, and when made pure
and improved by age, and not adulterat-

of the most wholesome and agreeable

THE TOY BANK MAKER.
Popular Trick Toys and How They
Are Modelled.

The well-known ingenious toy trick
banks are all made from models made
by gentleman who works all day long
in a low ceiled room in the top story of
No. 722 Chestnut street at his wax
models and bronze chasings. The room
presents scene of picturesque disorder.
The wall is hung with plaster casts, pa
per designs, and bronze models. The
toy bank inventor sits smoking inces-
sanity, with no company but black
cat
"The 'Creedmoor' bank was the first /
made" said the bankmaker on Saturday.
"That was followed by the kicking mule,
the bulldog, and others. l am now at
work upon a more complicated toy bank,

just come in. We are now chasing it
and filing down all the rough edges, and
making all the rough joints work easily.
first of all make solid model of the
figure in specially prepared wax. From
this take plaster of paris mold, in
two halves. Then [ make two hollow
models of the figure in wax from these
molds. The next thing is to separate
from the complete models the parts
which are intended to- be movable. Be-
fore me / have the left forearm and hand
of a monkey, holding up piece of cocoa

inside. These parts being removed, !

to them. They are then sent to the
brass foundry to be cast in brass or
bronze. TIE whole figure has to be
made complete and working in wax be-
fore it goes to the foundry. When they
come back, some of the pieces are very
rough, and need great deal of filing
and chasing to make them fit and move

which all the banks are eventually to be
made, and unless my model works per-
