They Are Generally NJ ide bY Men who
Are Considered Respec table.
Every little while the police arrest
man with kit of burglars, tools
IN his possession, and one naturally
wonders where they all come from,
says the Boston Globe. IL is easy TO
buy a gun OF any description and the
most reputable citizen would not be
ashamed to be seen purchasing the
most wicked-looking knife ever made
but who would know where TO get q
slungshot. or a jimmy, or a device
for drilling into a safe, or any OF the
many tools used by the professional
burglar in the pursuit OF his calling?
There probably are places in many
large cities where these things are
made and sold to the users. but such
places are scarce. Once in a while
the police find such a factory, and
then things go hard for the proprie-
tors. II may seem a little strange
TO learn that most OF the tools used
III burglaries arc made by mechanics
who are respectable men in the com.
munity
When burglar wants any particu-
lar tool made he goest to a mechanic
who can do the job and pays him
perhaps five times what IL is actual
ly worth for making the tools and

that have come to light in Boston.
One in particular occurred three
years ago. when an escaped coavict
named Williams went toa blacksmith
in RoXbury and got him to make a

the tcmpering of the steel. and
when the job was nearly completed
II leaked out. and Williams was ar

A MODEL SAVAGE.
King Of a Country OF sayages and the
Good work lie Has Done.


King Of Country OF savages and the
| Good work tie Has Done.
King khama is q model savage, il
a black man who has been thorough.
| ly civilized by European and mis-
/ slonary influences can still be called
one. lie is an autocrat OF the pest
! possible type, whose influence in his
country is entirely thrown into the
scale OF virtue for the suppression OF
vice. Such q thing as theft IS un-
known in his realm; he will not allow
4 his sub.ec 10 make or drink beer
"Beer Is the source of all quarrels. .
he says; Il will stop It," lie has
! put a stop also to the existence of
witch doctors and their wiles
throughout all the Bamangwato. says
the Contemporary Review
He conducts in person services
every Sunday in his large. round
kotla. or place OF assembly, standing
beneath the tree of justice and the
wide canopy OF heaven In truly pa
triarchal style. He is keen in the
suppression OF all superstitions, and
eats publicly the flesh of TIE duyker,
a sort of roebuck, which was form
crly the totem OF the tribe. and held
as sacred among them twenty years
ago. The late King Sikkome. Kha-
mas father, would not so much as
step on a duyker skin, and it is still
looked upon with more veneration by
his subjects than Khama would wish.
As an instance OF Khama's power
and judgment. IL is sufficient for US
TO quote the sudden change OF his
capital from shosholg to tie present
site, Palapwe shoshong was in
strong position, where the Bamang-
wato could effectually protect them
selves from the Matabele raids under
Lobengnla. but il was badly supplied
with water, and in dry seasons the
inhabitants suffered greatly from
drought. The change Of capital had
been a subject discussed for years,
but khama waited quietly until the
people began TO think that he was
against II and would never move. He
waited, in fact, until he was sure OF
British protection. until he knew
that Eobengula could not attack his
people at Palapwe without embroil-
ing himself in a war with England
Then suddenly one day, now five
years ago, without any predatory
warning King khama gave orders for
the move ana the exodus began on
the next day, and in two months
time 10. 0o1 individuals were located
in their new capital sixty miles
away from Shashong. Under Khama's
direction everything was conducted
In tho best possible order; every
man was given his allotted ground
and told to build his huts thereon.
Not a single dispute arose and no
one would imagine to-day that only
few years ago Pala owe was unin-
habited.
khama in manner ana appearance
is thoroughly gentleman, digniiied
and courteous; he wears well-made
European clothes: a billy-cock hat
and gloves, in his hand lie brand
ishes dainty cane and he pcrvades
everything in his country, riding
about from point to point wherever
his presence is requested, aud II he
is just little too much OF dandy it
is an error in his peculiar case in
the right direction.

IL is told OF Hannah More that she
had good way Of managing tale bear
ers. It is said that whenever she was
told anything derogatory TO another
her invariable reply was, Come, we
will go and ask If this be true" The
effect was sometimes ludicrously pain
full. The tale bearer was taken aback,
stammered out qualification, or beg
ged that no notice might be taken of
the statement. But the good lady was
memorable; off she took the scandal

ence, but courts any praise of her story
of ''Vegabondia," with which SO few,
in comparison with those who know
her famous juvenile story, have any
knowledge. Charles Heber Clarke has
strong aversion to any association of
his once famous nom de plume of MAX
Adler" with his name. Charles G. Lee
lands ire is aroused when one speaks
of Hans Breitmann" as his best piece
of work. L. Z. Roe never could under
stand why people read and bought
Opening of Chestnut Burr" in pre-
ference to his later and what he deemed
his better books. Eugene Field feels
that he has written fifty poems that are
superior to Little Boy Blue" John

FROST AND WIND
Injured Gardens, Fruit and Grain
Last Week.

injured Gardens, Fruit and Grain
Last Week.
The report of Sergeant Jennings Of
the Kansas weather bureau for the week
ending last Saturday is as follows;
A week of almost uninterrupted SUM-
shine, and no rain except a narrow belt
extending from the northern half OF
Lyon through the northern half OF
Usage, through Douglas into johnson
and Wyandotte.
The weather was unusually warm un-
til Friday when it turned cold giving q
general freezing temperature Saturday
and Sunday mornings.
The weather has been decidedly bene-
fetal in the southeastern counties where
much rain has fallen the past few weeks
and all crops have greatly improved.
Over the rest of the state rain is needed.
Wheat is heading in the central coun-
ties, and is in bloom in the southern.
The high winds of the 18th caused some
injury by whipping.
Corn has generally been cultivated
once, and in the south much of it twice.
Oats have improved slowly. In the
west alfalfa is in fine condition and in
the southwest its harvest will begin this
week.
The wind and cold snap have injured
fruits to some extent by whipping. The
freeze has cut tender vegetables and
much corn to the ground and generally
injured the potato crop. Apples have
been falling badly in many localities.
