or Explosives.
An extraordinary account is given OF
how Il safe was opened By robber
who had at his disposal no instrument
of any kind. but operated merely with
his finger nail. The person who accom-
plishcd the feat revealed his intention
Of robbing the iron safe in hotel to
another young man, who happened to
be the cousin Of the hotel proprietor
AS matter of course the proposed
scheme to rob was revealed to the own
e. of the hotel, and Il little before mid
night. when it was to be pat into exc
cution. 4 couple of detectives were con-
cealed behind the Office counter.
4 short time afterWard the robber
entered the office gently, without either
tools or explosives wherewith to open
the massive iron receptacle, the COM
bination Of which it was evident lie did
not know. lie had. however. resorted
to an ingenious plan Of his own.
He had pared the nail Of his index
finger on the right hand until the blood
vessels We're exposed. Then by placing
the sensitive wound on the combiiia-
ton lock he could distinguish the move
ments of the tumblers as they fell. For
more than hour did he work. and at
last there came a sharp click. ard he
swung back the doors OF the safe.
He was IN the act Of filling his pock-
cts with the valuable papers it con-
tained when damper was thrown up
on his activity by the sudden grasp Of
the detectives. under whose escort lie
was taken to prison.-London Tit-Bits.

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters Of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and intel

and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have found
Peruna a never failing safeguard.

BASKET OF SNAKES.
Old Lady Thought She Gould Sell the
REPTILES


An old woman was in Joplin the
other day with a basket, the sight of
which made women scream and men
sign the pledge 1t was filled with
snakes of every size and variety.
1t was ascertained that the owner
of the snakes had come to this city to
dispose Of them, she having been led
to believe that she could find ready
purchasers for the reptiles in Joplin.
Il live near CRANKY" she said to a
reporter, "and always keep a couple of
small snakes for the kids to play with.
This kind is perfectly harmless. About
a month ago a travelling man who ate
dinner at my house told me that there
was satisfactory in Joplin. He said
that they used the skins to make belts
and gloves out of, while the bodies
were sold to the sausage mills. He
said that they brought $3.50 a foot.
thought it was a good way to make
money, as very few snakes are less
than two feet in length. That would
be So snake, you see.

paid them at the rate of 10 cents

this money intended to lift the mort
gage on our place and surprise my
husband"
Finding no market for the reptiles,
the old woman carried them to the
end Of East Seventh street and turn
ed them out; and now every time a
Joplin woman's foot touches anything
ON the ground unexpectedly she gives
a high jump and a yell that would ex-
cite envy in the breast of a Comanche
