omatic spring. The pressure on
my ankles was very painful, and
after my release my ankles were
sore for a week.
Drawing the table closer to me
the desperate fellow produced sew
eral blank checks and pen and
ink and told me that he wanted
me to sign check for $4,000,
which he would cash before he
released me. | explained to him
that / had only a few hundred
dollars in the bank, and that
owing to the new rules adopted by
the banking houses, no overdrafts
would be allowed. "You cannot
get any money on the paper" l
declared.
The fellow seemed desperate.
He asked me if | noticed that he
had made all preparations to take
my life and afterward destroy my
body by placing it upon the pile
OF debris, saturating it with oil
and setting it on fire, as he had
thoroughly soaked the room with
kerosene and it would burn up
completely before the department
would arrive.
L insisted that the banks would
not honor the overdraft and that l
could not raise any money.
Then he told me he was going
to shoot me, placed the revolver
near my forehead and seemed
about to carry out his awful
threat.
AT this moment / muttered a
prayer. My whole soul was put
into my appeal to the Supreme
Being, and as if paralyzed, that
mans arm dropp d to his side
and he exclaimed, 81 cannot kill
YOU"
The fellow talked to me again,
and | succeeded in convincing
him that even il l signed the
check he would only have to re-
turn again to the house to tell me
that he could not get the money.
What followed this l am not at
liberty to tell, but after taking
binding oath not to divulge the
location of the house, the descrip-
tion of my assailant nor the cir
cumstances of my confinement,
the man released me and return
ed to the Brooklyn Hotel.
About two months later | paid
the money. l can say that the
amount paid was not $4,000, but
L cannot say just how much it
was.

The egg is held on the upper surface
of tho large fiat feet, and is pushed
up under the waistcoat of thick

somo Facts Concerning n Question That
Has Caused Much Discussion.
Wheolmcn IN organized bodies, or as
individuals and all who are in favor Of
convicts being employed i'll tho work OF
making better roads, should now ac-
quaint their state legislators with their
views and wishes, says Good Roads.
Hero are few facts upon which most
thinkers agree:
Some states arc enacting laws prohib-
iting the selling or giving away of any
articles manufactured by convicts within
prison walls. This is what organized
labor justly demands. Convicts' labor
must not be permitted to outbid free
labor.
Prisoners should havo somo kind of
work to occupy their minds and hands.
Their work should bo made TO pay for
their keeping if possible.
1t has been suggested that during
eight or nine months Of each year they
should be employed outside the prison
walls not by contract labor, but colo
nized, to do the work which the re-
sources Of the state offer in the quarries,
the mines, along the rivers or on the
roads. They can be fed and clothed at a
cost to the state of 20 cents day. Fifty
per cent of their earnings should be kept
by the state for the man s family. The
services of the convicts need not be
hired. The state should be compelled to
supply labor for the convicts, who are
her children.
1t is generally believed that In en-
ploying convicts in roadbuilding two
birds can be killed with one stone. The
prisoners will be made better men. and
the roads will be improved.

Three Zig AsslEmcntD

Three deeds of assignment were made
Monday that have startled the whole
business of the Ohio valley. The parties
are Henry Floto, wine merchant !;
William Mann, proprietor of Manns
factory, and Thomas Mcars, proprietor
of the Martins Ferry keg, barrel and
box factory, all considered among the
wealthiest men in the community.

stolen by Bold Thieves.
Now and again it happens that a
genius in crime arises who considers
the ordinary robbery unworthy of
his abilities, and therefore he goes
in for removing articles of an ex-
traordinary nature. For example,
take tho man who stole the coffee
stall the other deg. 1t was q pice
coffee stall, replete with urns, cups
and saucers, plates, knives and
forks and spoons, and good supply
of comestibles, ranging from shop
eggs to Jumps of cake cut with
mathematical precision.
The stall stood before it's owner s
home, and behind some old ratings
of iron and wood. The full audacity
of the robbery will be realized on
learning that the thief did not take
down the ratings or even wait for q
suitable time. He just selected a
moment when the proprietor was
out of the way, and then took out
the stall at o'clock in the evening,
just as its owner was in the habit of
doing when about to set up his trav-
cling coffee shop near a largo gas
factory mile OF two away. Tho
perpetrotor Of this extraordinary
robbery was detected through tho
agency of friend Of the real pro-
prietor who partook of refreshments
at the stall.
Quite recently there have boon
two or three cases recorded In the
papers of cab stealing. This we can
quite understand, for horse and
cab are nice little property where-
with one can earn a decent living.
But what shall be said of the man
who stole an elephantp This samo
elephant escaped from circus pro-
cession that was vending its way
through the streets of q suburb of
Liverpool. The great animal wan
dered for many miles and eventually
stopped at farm, the proprietor
whereof promptly annexed the valu-
able brute and was foolish enough
to sell it to tho next circus propri-
etor that chanced to be in the vicin-
ity. Tho farmers reason for getting
rid of the elephant was the prodi-
gious quantity of food the animal
consumed We need hardly say that
the whole silly proceeding ended in
the conviction of the farmer, though
he got off with three months inpris-
onment.
There are at least two cases on
record of man stealing q house.
Ono of those was portable CORFU
gated iron structure, which ran on
wheels and belonged to great con
tractor, whose manager used it as a
pay box, while the other was an or
binary semidetachod suburban re, j.
denco. How could such house be
stolen? Well, the alleged thief sim
ply took possession of il, put him.
self in st1to of siego, and then set
the real owner at defiance. After a
long and most oxasperating course
of law proceedings the real owner
recovered his house, and the claim
ant was d.slodged.
Horses ard vans have been stolen,
Of course so have whole houses of
furniture, If VIC may use the term.
The latter unique robbery is worked
in this way; A householder going
abroad will perhaps warehouse his
furniture at some well known repos-
itory, and tho thieves will eontrive
to impersonate hin, and in many
cases got possession of tho whole of
his household goods. - Amusing

Tt is curious fact that man may
talk half an hour and say absolutely
nothing-Mr. Wagner and any other
politician, for instance-when he does
not care to take the public into his
confidence. It is also true that a man
may not talk at all and yet say great
deal. When social tramp asked a
rich old fellow for his daughter on a
recent occasion, the parent simply
lifted his right foot, and the tramp
caught the idea instantly. He went
down two flights of stairs at the rate
of mile a minute. It is odd that one
man can express SO much by simple
gesture.
