Natural Gas of Alamosa.

DENVER, June 1.-The body of natural
gas known to exist near Alamosa has
again been tapped, during the process of
digging an artesian we'll, some eight miles
north of town and about mile north of
the famous Lough well which created no
little excitement a couple of years ago.
The depth Of the present well is about 800
feet and the gas is coming out with q
steady flow and an equable pressure.
There is prospect that capital will be
called on in the near future to consider
the feasibility of applying this whole body
of carburetted hydrogen to the firing and
lighting of Alamosa.

Couldn't Brighten the Squire.

There comes from the town of Bald

story of grutf, square.edged old Squire
Thompson, one OF the first settlers of the
~neighboring town of Cornish, and father
of the late DR.. Thompson, for many years
u prominent physician in that part Of
the state. 1t vas u local saying about
Cornish that Squire Thompson had never
been scared. Many plots had been laid by
practical iokers, but all had come to
naught.
Finally some Cornish wags made q last
effort. One night Squire Thompson at
tended a husking at which the festivi-
ties were somewhat prolonged. 1t was
midnight before the squire started for
home, his way being by a path through
the cemetery, The wags had been busy
digging n big hole across this path, and
as the squire proceeded home he sud-
denly tumbled in. AT the same instant
a sheeted figure appeared on the edge
of the hole and exclaimed in measured,
sepulchral tones:
''What are you in my grave for2"
"What are you out OF it Tor at this
time of night?" retorted the doughty
old squire, as he scrambled out and pro-
ceeded On his way.

a clerk at the Seventh Avenue to Il Pitts
burg Dispatch man, 1.-The worst case |
even struck was that of a man who drifted
into the hotel last week. He anticipated
fashion, and appeared in what may be
the custom twenty-five years from now,
if loudness of dress continues as it has
during the last three or -four years. The
paper covered weed was in his mouth all
the time, the only occasion when he
would remove it being for the pur-
pose of lighting q fresh one
with the OLD stub. l supposed, of
course, that he took a rest when sleep
ing, but evidently he didn't, for one
morning about 3 O'Clock the bell in his
room rang; the porter vent up, and
when he came down he conveyed u mes
sage from his dudelets to the effect hat
if II package of cigarettes were not sent
up at once n corpse would be waiting for
Il claimant in the morning. After
breakfast the young man thanked me
for the cigarettes | sent him, and said
they saved his life, for he had run out OF
smoking material at midnight, and his
misery had become so great at 3 o'clock
for cigarettes that suicide was the only
alternative"

THE TOSS SAFE CRACKER.
Feats of Hobbs, the Greatest of Lock,
Tickers.

Tickers.
Commodore Alfred c.. Hobbs, one of
the retired manufacturers OF Bridge
port, C)nn., died on the 9th inst, after
an illness of six months. lie was porn
in Boston on October Z, 1912. When 10
years old he secured work in n large
lockmaking concern in New York.
While there he invented q lock which
was superior to any other In use, and
picked all locks Of competitors which
were brought to him. He became ac-
quainted with Day 81 Newell, the bank
lockmakers, and took entire charge of
selling their locks. 1t became neces-
sary to prove to bankers that the locks
they were using were not secure, and,
therefore, he made Il set of fine tools, by
the use of which no opened their vaults
and safes.
His first call was at a bank in STAN
ford. They had in use q paddock which
was considered absolutely safe. 1t held
an iron strap over the keyhole of all
Andrews bank lock, which had cost the
bank $3.50. In addition they had a
warded lock, making three locks, any of
After a long appeal to the directors it
was decided that if the locks on the out
S de door and the vault could be opened
in two hours without ipjuring the locks
they would purchase u new one. Mr..
Hobbs opened all four locks in twenty
three minutes
Hobbs visited nearly all the banks in
the United States. In 1S4S he saw q re-
ward of $500 offered by Mr.. Woodbridge
of Perth Amboy to any n who would
open a lock just put on a safe in the
Merchants Exchange reading room in
New York. Hobbs went to New York
and had thirty days in which to open
the safe, within which had been placed Il
morning and secured the $500.
In April, 1851, Hobbs went to London
to examine a wonderful lock made by
Braham. There was n standing offer of
200 guineas to any n who would be able
to open it without the key. A committee
was appointed, long articles were pub
lished in the newspapers. and the trial
began. 1t took Mr.. Hobbs f~ifty-one hours
TO pick the lock, and there was a COM
plete overthrow Of the locks in general
use in England.
William Brown of Liverpool was the
inventor of a later lock which was used
on the safe of Brown, Shipley & Co.,
bankers, and in order to open it the let
ters of a word we're selected from a dial
on the door. Mr.. Hobbs called at tn
bank and had an interview with Mr.
Brown, who locked the safe and then
SAID it was impossible to open it without
knowing the combination. While con-
versing with Mr.. Brown, Hobbs stood
with his back to the dial and with one
hand behind him unlocked the safe and
pronounced the lock worthless.
Hobbs began lock-making for himself
in Cheapside, London, and in time the
business grew enormously. In 1860 he
came to New York, but retained his in
terest in the firm of Hobbs, Hart 81 Co,
In 1866 he was placed in charge of the
Union Metallic Cartridge Works, at
Bridgeport, Conn.

Foreign Devils in China.

In view of the troubles in China and the
threatened massacre Of foreigners reliable
information about the attitude Of the Chinese
towards aliens has q timely value. About
two years ago Frank G. Carpenter, the noted
correspondent, visited China on his leisurely
trip around the world, and had official as
~sistance in studying the peculiarities of the
celestials. In his letter for the SUNDAY BEE
he gives a very interesting account of
Chinese supersJitions as regards foreigners.
He writes at some length OF the celestial be-
lief that missionaries seize Chinese children,
boil their bodies and make medicines from
the product. In one case a kettle of soft soap
and a skeleton found In a DOCTORS house were
convincing proof to the natives and precip-
itated a riot.
1t the same letter Mr.. Carpenter tells some
thing of the hazardous life of Cassius M.
Clay and why he preferred q bowie knife to
a pistol in defending himself. Another
paragraph tells the strange story of Sam
Houston's first marriage. While governor
of Tennessee he married a pretty girl, left
her the next day and went to Texas, dying
without explaining his strange conduct. The
letter concludes with several jokes a. the ex-
pense of a Texas congressman who posed us
"a bad man from the west"
