Water From n Planted Reed.

From the Detroit Free Press
When people are suffering from thirst
they will resort to all kinds of means 10
get water, remarked a gentleman who
was at one time a member of the United
States geological and surveying expedition
in the Indi.n territory. For some time we
had been without water and were sufferi. g
greatly. Among our number was an old
trapper. who was as keen on the scent for
water as is hound on the trail Of deer.
Finally. he paused at place and stopped
i think there's water here il we could
dig we'll he observed
But we can't / replied.
No, but We can do something else he
said
with that he cut a reed tying some
n oss to the erd of it. Then he dug into the
earth. placed his reed in the hole and pack
ed the earth around the reed. He waited
for few moments
DO you mean to say that you can suck
water out of that thing? l asked
Yes. there's water near the surface
He drew at it with much satisfaction.
Good" he remarked; would YOU try
With little confidence in the result
sucked at the reed, with the surprising re-
suit OF getting plenty of clear. pure wafer.
To my parched tongue 1t seemed the yery
nectar of the gods.
It's as clear as the water Of a spring.
/ said
Yes. the moss is our filter, he replied.
We pursued our Journey much refreshed
and | never forgot the old trapper's de-
vice"

How Safe Burglars Can Tell When

How Snfe Burglars Can Tell When
They Strike a Com bination Figure
From the Cleveland Leader
In the county jail yesterday afternoon
John Atkinson. the alleged robber and
PAL of O'Neil, who is now serving a long
| term in the pententiary for one of the
most daring 'hoid-ups' in the history of
the city. did not know that the Leader re-
porter was newspaper man, consequent
ly talked more freely than is his wont.
The conversation drifted from one subject
to another and all the while Deputy Barry
was playing with the combination lock on
the door of the bull pen."
That's pretty good lock-" said At
kinson.
Did you ever work any of these kind
of locks?" asked the deputy.
Atkinson smiled. That lock on safe
would be easy" said he.
Come out and let us see how you would
go about anything like that" said the
deputy. at the same time opening the door
once commenced to explain the mechanism
of the lock-
We'll. let's see you try it," said the dep
uty, becoming Interested Atkinson kesi-
tated for several minutes. saying that he
could not work that combination because
1t did not have the same backing as safe
lock. Deputy Barry insisted upon being
shown how 1T was done. Atkinson got
X,
He kneele1 as close to the lock as pos
sible. and put his tongue upon the metal
ring around the knob of the combination
Then he slowly turned the knob of the
combination. Deputy Barry watched him
intentiy. and suddenly stopped Atkinson
in mis- work. He had made the first move
in the combination correctly. and the dep
uty thought this enough. Atkinson was
willing to stop, and then explained his
work.
You perhaps know" said Atkinson.
that the nerves in the end of the tongue
are very delicate and sensitive. Well
when the combination gets TO the right
point. the minutest click is sent at once to
the brain That's how we know we are
right"
The deputy was astounded William
Clark. the alleged murderer. was standing
near at the time. He seemed to be per-
fectly familiar with Atkinsoas methods.
and Immediately proposed another and bet
ter method. He said: ut is much easier
if you have a darning needle. place it on
the tumblers and put the other end in a
hollow tooth. If there is a nerve in the
tooth the first click. no matter how slight,
semi; .. thrill through your head"
I've tried that scheme, too,'' said At
kinson, land have found it to be a good
one"

atty for the crime Of grand larceny In
the second dgree, is Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for not more than five
years.
w. F. Bickel, when seen, had nothing
in general to say more than what ap-
peared in the Globe Of yesterday.
Concerning the charge of Mrs Cum
mings, he said
THAT is the hardest thing for me 70
bear of all. 1 don't mind this other in
d1ctment bit, for I can disprove 1t,
but to think that Mrs. Cummings, of
all people, would charge me with de-
frauding her Of her money. Why it's
outrageous, that's all. 1 have labored
in and out Of season to protect that
woman and her little family from want
and starvation. Her husband was my
bosom friend, and it was on his account
that after his death, I did all in my
power to assist his wife and children
who were in dire need. I ratified off the
horse and helped sell her furniture. I
went about through the town endeav,
or1ng to sell tickets for Mrs. Cummings.
When Col. Wright was elected mayor
l went to him and made a personal ap-
peal that she be retained as matron Of
the Jail. The money that was raised
[ kept in trust for her and paid it OUT
on drafts whenever she needed it. I
think the amount was something like
$I1O0. She never had an account N
the bank and 1 attended to all her bust
ness for her. My books will show just
how Mrs. Cummings account stands
| would not be surprised if her account
is not somewhat overdrawn. 1 sent her
a statement only a short time ago and
from time to time before then. She was
drawing continually. You know she
was out Of employment for two years,
and 1t required considerable to sim
port her family during that period II
is strange that this charge is delayed
until this time. Mrs. Cummings, if
she had any sense Of gratitude, should
be the last person in the world to
charge me with wrong-doing, for I
have stood by her Loyalty since her
husband died"

VERY INTRICATE, INDEED.
Present Status of the InterEminabIe
Gri5bIe Suits.

Judge Gribble's indisposition to pay
his attorneys fees helps to keep the
district court going nowadays Yes
terday Judge Willis was vastly enter
tanned by a proceeding instituted by
Theodore E. Parker to have his lien
as an attorney enforced upon certain
property in the hands of the Sheriff,
which property was seized on an execu-
ton following a judgment in favor of
Judge Gribble's daughter. Mr.. Parker
wanted 500 compensation for services
as an attorney rendered by him TO
Judge Gribble. The history of the
transactions eliminating in this pro-
ceeding is as amusing as the events of
yesterday.
Not such a great while ago, Mr..
Winship sued and recovered a verdict
against Mr.. Jebb for $4,000 for aliena-
ton of his Wife's affections. Judge
Gribble, who acted as the attorney for
Winship, sues the latter to recover his
fees, and employs l.. s. Cotton as his
attorney. Gribble wins his suit but
does not pay Cotton. Cotton thereupon
sues Gribble for his services as at
torney and gets a judgment against
him. In the meantime Judge Gribble
has assigned his judgment and claim
for fees to Minnie Gribble his daugh-
ter. and during the same period Win
ship assigns his judgment against Jebb
to William Schauer. Minnie Gribble
is consequently obliged to sue Schauer
to enforce against him as assignee of
WinShip the claim due Gribble from
WinShip. In this last action Judge
Gribble and his daughter employed as
attorney Theodore E. Parker and f.
NJ. Quist. This action resulted in a
judgment in favor of Minnie Gribble.
An execution was issued on the judg-
ment and the sheriff collected the
money due from Schauer, amounting
to about 5000. Soon after Mr.. Parker
filed a lien on the money collected by
the sheriff to secure the payment of
his attorneys fees.
rday for an order directing the sheriff
to pay over to him out of the money
collected on the said execution, the
sum of 500. This was holly resisted
by Judge Gribble who declared that
Parker's services were worthless.
Attorney Parker testified in his own
behalf. On cross-examination Judge
Gribble put this question:
Didn't l take part in that trial my
self and render a large part Of the ser
vices?"
You did take part in it, but only 70
the extent of making a general nui-
sance of yourself" answered Mr.. Park
er.
In the course of his summing UP,
beknown to him, had gone "surrepti-
tiously'' to the clerks Office and filed
lien on the Minnie Gribble judgment.
In fact" continued Judge Gribb1e,
II have noticed a sinister disposition
on Mr.. Parker's part all the way
through"
The Court Gnterrupting)-You have
observed in Mr.. Parker, then, the gen.
served in Mr.. Parker, then, the gen
eral characteristics Of a base conspIr-
ator?
Judge Gribble responded emphatic
ally in the affirmative. while the spec
tatOrs laughed heartily.
The court decided that Mr.. Parker
was entitled to his 500, but the case
was continued for one week to allow
further testimony to be taken as to the
exact liability of the sheriff. inasmuch
as Attorney Cotton has attempted to
levy on the Minnie Gribble judgment.

HONORED BURROUGHS.
The Monroe school Dedicate a New
Society in Favor of Humanity.

The eighth grade of the Monroe
school, under the direction of Mrs L.
c. Flint, presented a very handsome
programme on Friday last, in honor Of
John Burroughs, after whom they have
named a humane society, composed Of
the scholars Of the grade mentioned
above. The entertainment was replete
with features, which were both anus
ing and instructive. The intervals be-
tween recitations were filled in with
music by a Quintette, composed Of
Masters Louis Wallack, Willie Kun
feldt, William Fisher, Louis Hurd, and
Julius Hohleder violinists, and
James Cook and Frank Hoffman, who
touched the strings Of the guitar and
mandolin, respectively.
The address Of the day was delivered
