They Are Thus Made to Conceal Their
Real Purposes.
To the eye of an honest man no tool is
burglars tool Were he to find a most
approved kit, he would merely think
that a mechanic had lost his stock in
trade. Drills, Punches, bits and ordi-
nary jimmies have each almost a coun-
terpart in open daylight work, and only
to the sophisticated would it appear that
the bits of steel were supplements of
crime. To those who know, the two
distinctive burglars tools are the Sec
tional jimmy and nippers, the first being
a steel bar so arranged that it can be un-
screwed into several pieces for conven-
tence in carrying.
The other is like a pair of curling
tongs, the clutching end being armed
with little teeth, and is used for turning
keys in doors from the outside. The
manufacture of these tools is not, as has
been supposed, confined exclusively to
any set of men. A burglar, desirous of
obtaining a kit, will go to hardware
store and purchase drills, brace and bits.

in series, from those the thinness of a
knife blade to others the thickness of

most powerful and perhaps the most
useful tool, from his standpoint, that can
be used in opening a safe. It consists of
a long screw, with simple iron braces to
be attached by link to the knob of the

A hole is bored through the front of
the safe by means of bit, block is ad-
Justed on the inside, and on this is placed
the point Of the screw, which is turned

HIesalliance.

Mesaliance is always interesting
when it occurs outside of our own i'm
circle of relatives and friends.
A man or woman sacrifices social in
stincts, bids defiance to conventions and
follows the simple promptings of the
heart-and the results? Disagreeable to
those most nearly concerned, but fasci-
mating to the outside world. There is
no subject so fruitful for the novelist.
A well known novel, now widely read,
was saved by this. l will not name it,
for cannot break literary condolences.
The writer, a favorite living novelist,
had reached point in his story when ev-
erything. characters and events, seemed
to settle down to a deadly low level of
dull commonplace. He was in despair.
A friend, an experienced man of the
world, gave him a word of advice: "In-
troduce a mesalliance. That never fails
to enliven things" Tho novelist did SO,
and his book is selling briskly today

THE LONDON CABBY.
Dramatic Little Incidents Connected With
the Reception of His Exact Fare.

Dramatic Little Incidents Connected With
the Reception of His Exact Fare.
Everybody who has lived in London
has witnessed the dramatic little Incl
dents connected with cabby's reception
Of his exact fare. His hirer, having
alighted, stands on the pavement and
feels for his purse. Cabby meanwhile
leans over the railing Of his seat with
benignant and ingratiating smile. That
smile, it may be stated at once, is q
fraud. 1t is not genuine beam of good
nature, but is one of cabby's business
''props." 1t is a smile of much mean
ing, and cabby throws his whole soul
into it. II is trusting and confident, It
insinuates that cabby feels that he has
met in you a man in whom he recog-
nizes a peculiarly generous nature. 1t
means that cabby has no anxiety. He
knows that you are going to give him
something for himself.
But as a matter of fact, if you watch
cabby closely, you will see the hollow
ness of its professions. Cabby's eyes are
very wide open, and he is scanning d
great deal more carefully than his fare
the little pile of silver that gentleman is
turning over In his hand. Then he
stretches down his hand, broad and fat,
but trustingly, assured that he is about
to be treated as a man should be. The
fat palm ascends again, but as his fare
turns to depart, the smile dies away.
For a moment, as il dazed, he gazes
blankly into his hand; then q look of
mingled contempt and indignation passes
over his expressive face. He turns fierce
ly on his prey.
"Ere, wOt's this?"
"Your fare" floats back to him.
"My fareP' in a tone of scathing scorn
tiny farep
Then rapidly and with businesslike
manner, as if the time for emotion were
passed now:
'"Ere, 'old ard; wants another tan
ner."
By this time his fare, if he knows any
thing at all about cabmen, is we'll under
way. Cabby, standing up, dashes the
offending shilling on the ground with a
gesture of ineffable loathing, as at some
unclean thing. No good. His fare is
disappearing, uncOncerned, and cabby,
convinced that the game is up, but loath
to relinquish his Indignation, slowly un-
swathes himself from the folds of his
voluminous blanket, descends as slowly,
picks up the innocent shilling still more
slowly, mounts again, gathers up his
reins with one final blighting look be-
/ hind him and drives ayyav. his face that

A Little Tin NIonse.

A Manayunk man who has pet cat
bought one of those new tangled mouse
toys from a vender on Market street on
Saturday afternoon. When he arrived
at his house in the evening, he brought
out the mouse and began to run it up
and down the dining room floor. Tabby,
who was lying on a rug, suddenly gave
a jump for the supposed rodent. This
scared the head of the house so much
that he jumped back and in doing so up
set the supper table, breaking nearly all
the dishes and mixing up the evening
meal into boarding house hash. The
family dog secured the choicest beef
steak, and the cat began to lap up the
spilled cream. Mr.. Housekeeper had a
big sized row with his wife and ended
up thescene by getting gloriously drunk.
The tin mouse, the cause of all the es-
arrangement, was crushed in the melee
