Pay From Uncle Sam.
Visitors on board war vessels in the
navy yard will very likely see among
the sailors scattered about the decks
smoking, talking and so on sailor at
work with a sewing machine. It is a
hand machine and has pretty heavy
base, SO that it can be set down on deck
and worked easily without shifting its
position.
The machine is owned by the man
working it, On big ship like, for ex-
ample, the battleship. Indiana, carrying
a crew of 400 men or more, there would
probably be found as many as dozen
sewing machines. On a third rate
cruiser, smaller vessel, such, for IL
lustration, as the Detroit, there would
be apt to be four or five sewing ma
onlnes. The machines are oftenest
owned by sailmakers and sailmakers'
mates, but they may be owned by sail
ors. Any man on the ship might have
sewing machine if he wanted to.

2 SAT-! OPENING AN ART.
An Expet who Met Many Obstacles and
Ovcrcame Them.

OceniF refractory vaults, safes ana

and is surouuded by the utmost secrecy
by thosewho make living out OF It,
In talAto tbs Chicago Post man who
= has benin the business 40 years said:
The esential qualification which a
suceSessfl safe opener must possess is an
intinNats and instructive knowledge OF
the mechanism and workings OF every
variety of combina.io lock. He must
be born to the profession and possess
acute mechanical RECEPTION.
Nearly every obstinate safe which l
am called upon TO open presents unique
conditions demanding new and ipdivid-
ual treatment. The nature of the diff
Guilty must be correctly diagnosed in adj
vance or the lock will remain obdurate,
Tor machinery does not move by chance.
1.-THE biggest bait ever held out to me
came in the form of proposal from a
detective with whom l was well lac-
quainted. 1t had been supposed that the
locks made by a certain firm OF safe
manufacturers were proof against the
manipulations of burglars and experts,
but few days before | was approached
by the detective had been called upon
to open one of these safes and had sue
ceeded. The incident gave rise to much
comment.
"As l was sitting alone in my office
the detective entered and asked me If
did not wish to make some money. |
replied that was in business for just
that purpose. He then questioned me
closely as to my ability to open the par
ticular kind of lock in question. When
satisfied that was easily able to do so,
he said:
I'll tell you how you can grab off
500, 600 without the least trouble. The
boys know where there is a safe of this
kind which contains 5000, 900 in pa
per currency. 1t is easy to get at, and
all you'll have to do is to walk in, after
they have opened the way, unlock the
safe, take out 500, 900 and leave the re-
mainder for them. It's the easiest kind
of money.
"By the boys the detective meant
notorious gang of burglars which had
been conducting series of daring uper-
ations. l told the detective that had
been much given to card playing in my
youth, thus acquiring a strong prefer
ence for lone hand, and that this pre-
objection had become too firmly fixed TO
be changed. He took the hint and left
my Office as soon as possible"

In Many Respects They Are Doing Bette,
Work Than the Larger Institutions
"There are a few striking facts about
the small American college," writes,
Edward W. Box in The Ladies' Home
Journal. lone striking fact is that 60
per cent of the brainiest Americans who
have risen to prominence and success
are graduates of colleges whose names
are scarcely known outside of their own
states. 1t is fact also that during tbs.
past ten years the majority of the new
and best methods of learning have EN-.
anated from the smaller colleges and
have been adopted later by the larger
ones. Because college happens to be
unknown 200 miles from the place Of
it's location does not always mean that
the college is not worthy of wider re-
pute. The fact cannot b@ disputed that,
the most direct teaching and neces
sarily the teaching most productive Of
good results is being done( in the small
er American colleges.
The names of these colleges may not
be familiar to the majority Of people,
but that makes them none the less wor.
thy places of learning. The larger col
leges are unquestionably good but
there are smaller colleges ust as good
and in some respects better. Some Of
the finest educators we have are ATTACHED
to the faculties of the small Yer institu-
lions of learning. Young girls( or young
men who are being educated ut one o.
the smaller colleges need nevar., feel.
that the fact of the college being
small one places them at disadvantag

panion who has been sent to large

Gan you give any reason why he
should have wished to harm Mr.. Lewis?"
He knew Mr.. Lewis long ago and
did some work for him. My husband
was an architect and a practical car
penter. Mr. Lewis engaged him when
he hrst came TO this town to build "A
secret apartment in his house. Mr..
Lewis was very anxious that no one
should know of this hiding place, and
that is why he brought man from a
distant city to do this work. His ankle

fact that he paid my husband an inn
mense sum of money and stipulated that
he should never return to Lee. made
my husband suspect that it must have
been as a storehouse for money that he
wished to use it. He spoke so often of
this that, fearing he might be tempted
10 investigate it, at length / persuaded
him TO go with me to Europe. Lately.
however, he insisted on returning, as
we had used up most of our means. |
did not believe, after so many years,
that he would again think of this hid
den treasure as he was won't to call it.
But now see it must have been that
which brought him here"
After this testimony she was allowed
to retire, and Mr.. Barnes took the stand
TO make statement.
Before we give this case to the jury
l should like 10 say that l think this
man remained after the crime was COM
mitted with the intention of searching
for the treasure. Mr. Burrows will tes-
tify that he heard him in the secret
chamber during the first night after the
murder. l think he assumed the per-
sonality of the dead mans son as the
best means of enjoying the fortune
which he expected TO obtain as we'll az
TO avoid suspicion most effectually.
Failing to find any treasure or TO inner
it under the will, it was still his only
means of safety to remain. Fear or re-
morse at last impelled suicide, not un-
usual thing with criminals of an intel
lectual order
The verdict of the jury placed the re-
sponsibility for the murder on the dead
man, and indeed, though it little under
stood the true facts Of the case, that
was where it justly belonged.
There still remained one or two
points about which Mr.. Barnes felt
curiosity, and at the first opportunity
after Marvel's release he questioned
him.
Mr.. Marvel" said he, chow is it
that you thought that Mr.. Lewis was
dead, as we supposed him to be when

"That explains the point in question,

compelled to go to Epping."
Some months later Mr.. Barnes re-

pleased to attend the ceremony. The
