A JAPANESE BABY.
Native Expression Which Has Lost Its
 Original Meaning.


 Original Meaning. A gentleman formerly in the service of the United States navy married a Japanese beauty a few years ago and settled down to domestic life in the land of the rising sun.
 Only few months ago an old chum of his, an officer on one of our ships of war now stationed in Japanese waters, went to call upon him at his house in Fagasaki. While waiting in the room which might correspond to the parlor in this country, he heard the prattle of a child in the adjoining apartment Said the youngster:
 Who is the foreign devil that has come to see papa?"
 "Hush!'' said the nurse. ''The gentle man might overhear you. He is a fel- low-countryman of your fathers" Well, papa is foreign devil, too" This incident would seem to show that certain colloquial phrases have sur vived the feeling of hated for foreign CTS which the Japanese abandoned SC many years ago.

ADEPT At LockPlcK,No.
Career Of Man Whom No Cell Has
Restrained.

To the student Of crime most in.
teresting material is found In the life
history of Charles Kroekel, an eigh.
teen year.old mute, confined Mt pres.
ent in the Camden City Jail. pending
trial on charge Of burglary.
kroekel is the son Of highly re-.
spectacle family once residing in
Southern New Jersey. He was born
afflicted. and though trained from
childhood In the proper conduct OF
life. his criminal instincts manifest.
ed themselves mt a very early age In
small thefts. Every effort was made
to reform him. apparently without
the slightest result. 1t seemed that
his criminal tendencies were born
with him.
With the years Of early youth his
operations assumed larger scope.
When detected his youth and his
unfortunate condition aroused such
sympathy that the hand Of the law
was laid kindly on him. more to di-
rect and admonish than to chastise.
Repeated otfenses led to judicial
punishment. and Kroekel was con.
fined to various reformatories. With.
out exception he escaped: how no
one was able to tell. subsequently
he was confined in the iails at Mays
Landing and other institutions. No
cell was able to hold him, and. though
he did not always succeed in escap.
ing from the Jail he was always able
to pick the lock OF the cell door.
Among the police officials OF New
Jersey he acquired the reputation Of
being able to pick any lock ever
made. For q long time no clew to
his methods could be obtained by the
police, but the discovery OF false
soles in his shoes gave the suggos.
ton that possibly he carried saws or
skeleton keys In them.
kroekel was last confined In the
Trenton Jail, but as his cell was con-
stantly watched his escape was i'm
possible. When arrested In Camden
he wore a suit such as Is presented
to inmates OF the prison upon their
discharge In the pockets he had
matches and candle, towel, soap,
copper nails, and u memorandum
book. containing various addresses
in Camden and this city, supposed to
be the places which he intended ia
visit professionally. When asked In
writing for some account OF himself
by a reporter he merely wrote

age, Philadelphia" and then the

LANGUAGE OF THE WIRE.
Gossip and Chatter That Passes
Between Friendly Operators

At the main office of the Postal
Telegraph company or at the West
ern Union, no matter what time OF
night one enters, one is sure to hear
the incessant clicks of the saunders
and persons unacquainted with the
habits of the versatile telegraphers
are apt to wonder if the tales told
by wire have no ending.
Operators have a habit of discuss.
ing the current questions of the
day with persons hundreds of miles
away, and when the wire is not
busy they do not hesitate to give
their personal opinions and a his
tory of their private affairs to every
one on the circuit.
Travellers who have heard some
slang idiom for the first time in
New York are surprised to find
the phrases in general use when
they reach San Francisco. Some
New York telegrapher, realizing
that he has something new tc
Spring" upon the plug" at the
other end ofthe wire, puts him in
possession of the latest slang. In
this manner the expression travels
all over the United States in the
course of one night.
Stories of double entendre are
favorite subject matter for many Of
the operators, and, as half hun
bred others listen to the first sender
and then send it to someone else,
its circulation is impossible to com
pute without recourse to geometriC
al progression. The noisy wires
talk of more things than news
paper, commercial and private mes
sages, and only those who know
its mystic Language appreciate its
capacity for transmitting intelli-
genCe.
a Cincinnati operator who had
been in the habit of talking to a
distant operator has cut him now,
and will not answer his CALI
after business hours. The estrang-
ment was brought about the other
night when the offending operator
tried to send him a brand new plan
for currency reform Of which he
was the author. The Cincinnati
Tribune.
