Capitalist Points Out the Defect In

A great many curious inventions are
recorded at the patent office, and a
great many others that the public
never hears of are "sidetracked" on
the way there A brisk, eager indi-
vidual called on a capitalist for the
purpose of interesting him in device
for discouraging burglars.
Il want to get the idea patented"
he said, "and | haven't the money. I'm
willing to go halves with any man that
will give me the financial backing My
scheme is this: You first make a..
your doors and windows secure, so
they can't be opened at all from the
outside-make all of them tight and
fast, except one-tnere are plenty OIL
devices for doing that nowadays
make all of them tight and fact, except
one. Leave that one so it will open
easily. Then run a wire from that
window to the head Of your bed,
where you have an alarm bell me

and windows, and when he comes 10
tIat one he raises it. The alarm goes
OF and the burglar hears it and ices,
or it wakes you up, and you are ready
for him. In either case 1t accom-
plishes your purpose"
But" said the capitalist, IF you can
make all the doors and windows last
except one, why not make that one Sc
cure, too, and thus keep the burglar
out entirely?"

the inventor, rubbing his jaw.

Education for Hangmen-


England has a school for the edu-
cation of hangmen. This latest ad'
junct to civilization in Great Britain
was established as the result OF
bungling work by executioners during
the last few months.
The work of a hangman is light and
the pay high, so there are already a
number of pupils at the school which
is in London. A session there is an
interesting sight One of the pupils
acts as the subject, the attendants
taking turns playing the role OF the
condemned. Hanging consists not
merely in placing man over trap
door and launching him into space by
releasing a bolt There are various
nice preliminaries to be gone through
First the condemned must be ar
tistically pinioned. Then he must
be supported on his way to the scat
fold in order to avoid painful scenes.
After that there is the rope to be adj
justed quickly and without fumbling,
in order that the agony may not be
prolonged on the scaffold. The rope
must be strong enough to bear the
weight of the condemned. but not so
thick as to slowly choke the con-
demned to death.

President Diaz a Hard Worker.

Among Mexicans the opinion is gen
eral that should President Diaz cease
the routine of his work he would die
At $50 every morning Gen. Diaz goes
to his Office and works until about
1870 p. m. At 4:30 he goes back again
and scarcely ever leaves before IL,
and often not until midnight. His
time is spent in the hardest sort of
labor and the president would be mis-
cradle If he could not carry out the
daily program. A journey of any mag
nitude would seriously break into his
personal habits and therefore it is
not thought he will ever visit foreign
countries. He never tastes intoxicat-
ing liquors and when at banquets new
Sr partakes of food.

A political orator addressed club

paid strict attention and applauded

his seat beside the chairman. He
whispered that he was delighted with
