MAN FOND OF FINE TOOLS.
An Inventor for Whom They Have
Fascination Bays Everything
New He Sees.

"That is a singular character" re-
marked a Fulton street tool dealer, as
un elderly man went out of the shop,
reports the New York Sun "He is,
perhaps. one of the happiest men in
this city to-day, because his credit is
good and he can once more indulge in
his fad of buying new tools. He has
been regular customer of this store
ever since it was opened years ago,
and has bought tools worth many
thousands of dollars. We Just now
sold him a bill of more than 5000
worth of files, drills, reamers and 9TH
er tools, including set of standard
guages.
''lle is an ingenious inventor. but
devoid of business ability. Every two
or three years he gets up something
valuable, and having no money at the
time he finds u backer or hackers,
who generally reap all benefits of his
ingenuity and cast him aside when
they no longer need him. lie goes
carefully, because he has always some
thing new in his mind to which he
desires to give his whole time.
"In every instance where COM
pany is formed or backer is liberal
he stocks up an elaborate tool room,
buying many things which are not
really needed Just because he has an
uncontroIIabie passion Tor fine tools,
He has just purchased a micrometer
caliper for S27 when one for six dol
lars would answer all OF ms purposes
