What Some Men Steal.

1t is said that some men will steal
anything from hairpin to a red hot
stove. That saying may be an ex-
aggerahon as to the red hot stove.
but 1t Is certain that some men will
steal articles of very trihing value
To illustrate. A certain popular res.
taurant down town keeps a liberal
supply of butter upon It's tables, and
its patrons are allowed to help them
selves at pleasure, But there are no
individual butter plates.
A patron of the restaurant sug.
gested to the proprietor that it would
10 a good thing if he would nut a
number of individual butter plates
ON each table, so that his patrons
could use them if they wanted to do
so.
THAT would cost me too mpcb
money, was the reply of the propri.
etor.
Hundreds of men come here every
day who would steal the butter plates
Some of the people who come in here
actually steal the bread plates and
they frequently take away tumblers
and other pieces Of tableware and
napkins they steal by the soone
knives forks and spoons too ara
taken. New York World.

Profted by His Misfortune.
! A young man blind, in one eye and
partially so In the other, walked into
an Office at Broadway, and approach
ing the flrst desk said that he had come
to thank the man there for aid he had
given to him some months before.
You may not remember IL, but
was asking money with which to buy a
book Of raised print such as the blind

cents. Other gentlemen in the build
ing gave Inc more. and | got the book.
/ learned to read, and now my one eye
Is better and am at work. am liv-
ing in Baltimore, where l am making
ten dollars a week working on wicker
baskets. want to thank you for your
kindness"
The man behind the desk did not re-
call the circumstance, but accepted the
thanks and said that he was glad to
learn Of the unfortunate'si improved cir
cumstances. He made a mental note
that the mans gratitude was a com
mendable thing to be ad-
mired
"Now | want to do something to
show you that | appreciate your kind
ness" the young man continued 81

waste basket to each of the gentlemen
who helped me. have them all made.
/ am going to put a silk lining into
each, and if You will buy sixty cents
worth of silk and send to my address in
Baltimore the basket will be here
within week"
The man behind the desk said he
would send the silk along.
cor" went on the grateful young
man, 'if you allow me to buy the silk,
/ can get enough to finish the basket
for fifty cents, buying large quantity,
and so make ten cents myself | would
buy the silk for the Innings myself but
| can't afford to do it"
The man behind the desk gave the
other sixty cents for the lining. The
grateful young man said that it was a
pleasure to repay those who had aided
him, and promised that the fancy bas-
ket would be sent in three or four days.
Before leaving the grateful one
showed the business cards of a half
dozen men who were each soon to re-
ceive token of his remembrance.
Each had given sixty cents for silk for
lining, he said.
But the baskets have not yet come,
and the men who were to receive them
believe that they are the victims of a
confidence game, and that the half
blind, grateful young man is a rank
fraud. But he was certainly clever
