He could do it with such masterful
skill it became his sure and safe pass

It reminds one of the drummer boy
to whom the great Napoleon is said to

The story runs that the boy beat a

Young man, there is rich sgestion

he first came into notoriety as a bur-
glar In 1856. when he was sent TO Sing
Sing for two years, In 1887 he was ar
rested in Fall River. Mass, for entering
a store and was sent 10 the House OF
