From the Hardware Goods.
A short time ago modest little lady en-
tered q hardware store and asked to be
shown some gimlets. They were brought
forth and placed upon the counter for her
inspection. young man, are you not
aware of the new use l make of these
little boring machines1" she remarked to
the salesman. She continued: "Some
years ago was in hotel in the town OF
b. l engaged board and room for one
week. The second night my room was
entered, and my valua bles, consisting of
one mileage book and few dollars, were
confscated by some unworthy scoundrel,
who had gained an entrance with sRele-
ton key ] concluded that if / were TO as
sociate with that class of people while
there | had better prevent their visiting
my room again while asleep. After in
forming the proprietor at breakfast con
cluded to visit the hardware store, which
by the way, was a com bination store, sell
ing everything, from potatoes to keg of
nails. After carefully looking over his
stock l purchased three gimlets. That
night fastened the window by boring
through the sash into the frame, leaving
the gimlet in. Also the transOm and door
retired for the night feeling as secure as
could be.
After having been asleep two hours or
more l heard the cry of Fire! Fire
Jumping out of bed. my first thought was
escape. Without waiting to arrange my
toilet | grabbed the door, pulled the GIN
let, turned the key and opened it part
way, when | was blinded by smoke. Clos
ing the door again, l thought to escape by
the window route Raising the window /
found | would have to jump from the
second story. Once more my thoughts
came to my assistance. Gimlets Gimlets

them that had previously removed l
bored them into the window frame under
the sill Taking clothes line from my
trunk / tied it to both Of them, threw the
rope out of the window and climbed out
and began to descend. and safely
reached the ground amid the loud cheers
of those that saw me. l tell you, young
man, ] shall never forget that experience,
and owe my life to two gimlets and a
clothesline Now l want these for any
such emergencies as l have mentioned.
Please pick me out one-quarter dozen

TO STOP TICKET FORGING.
The Central Looking Into Anti
Scalper's Machine.

SCa4p6E UldCnln6.
General Passenger Agent ]. G. Halle
of the Central railroad, is investigating
a new patent ticket stamping machine.
intended to put an end to some of the
ticks of the ticket scalpers.
All the railroads suffer large losses
annually by the changing of
dates, and even the names of
stations by dishonest scalpers
Tickets that are out of date are made
TO appear new by changing the dates.
and where the point of destination is
written in ink the name of the station is
often erased and that of some other point
substituted, often of greater distance
than the point to which the ticket was
sold.
For instance, Central railroad through
tickets sold from Columbus TO New
Orleans have been made TO read from
Savannah to New Orleans, and
have been used for this distance.
This does not happen often, however.
The greatest complaint the railroads have
against the scalpers is the alteration of
dates on short time tickets. The dishonest
scalpers are equipped with a supply of
date stampers similar to those used by
the railroads, and with chemicals to
erase the original stamp.
The machine which it is believed will
put the scalpers in corner so far as
dating tickets is concerned is called the
Cummin's railroad dater. Instead of
stamping the date upon the tickets in ink
the number of the day of the year is per-
forated upon the ticket. The device is
similar to that in use by bankers for per-
forating the figures upon bank
checks into the check to prevent the
amount being raised. The rail
road dater is a little more
complicated in design, though very simple
in.operation. There are three punches for
the days, and one for the year, the ter
minal numeral of the year only being
used as go for 1894 BY having three
punches for the days they can be num-
bered from l to 1865. 1t will be a matter
of impossibility almost, to alter these
numbers after they have been perforated
into the ticket.
The machine has been used for some
time by the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad, one of the largest systems in the
northwest, and is highly endorsed by Gen
eral Passenger Agent Thrall, of that
road. AS the cost of the machines is
small and it would only be necessary to
have them at the principal ticket points
it would seem that they would prove a
paying Investment. If the amount OF
ticket scalping lis as great as reported
they would save their cost several times
over in year.
