UNCLE SANS NOBBY "FENCE"
Where Gold and Silver swag iI Accepted
and No Questions Asked
CONVENIENT TO WALL STREET, TOO
Government Assay once in New York
u Mecca for Burglars and
Beyond the Reach Of
the Police.

Did It ever occur to you that your Uncle
Sam runs the greatest fence" for thieves
and burglars In the United States? Start
ling, but true, he spends millions a year
on the secret service and the postoffice de-
tective force, Yet in the government assay
Office in Wall street he runs the biggest
and most convenient fence for stolen
gold and silver in the country.
And while the New York Office is the
largest fence in the country, the other
assay establishments are exactly the same
thing. The proceeds of countless burglarles
all over the country run into them as into
a mill, to come out shining grist of clean
gold dollars. For at all Of these plumber
mills Uncle Sam not only refines the spois
Of gold and silver thieves in general but ne
also buys a good proportion of the result
ing precious metal at market price and no
questions asked. And tire rest can be sold
at the bullion establishments on the same
terms just across the street-good, clean
money by the kindness Of genial Uncle
Sam for the criminals plumber.
OF course the government does not do
this out of any benevolent feeling toward
that eccentric man about town, the bur-
glar. The conversion Of the loot into mar
ketable bullion or coin Of the republic is
but a part Of the enormous business in
refining, mostly for legitimate purposes,
that the federal administration does every
year for the coinage, for use in the arts.
for the jewery trade Yet no one realizes
how great a figure in that total is cut by
the loot of midnight marauders and with
what ridiculous ease every sort of plum
derer that makes plate, trinkets, iewelry
or any other gold or silverware his spe-
cialtv has been allowed for wears to make
his loot an easily marketable product
nay, sometimes to convert it Immediately
into clean money-through the kindness of

federal fence. In six days, for he is not
liable to arouse suspicion by asking for his
money at once, he comes back and receives
in gold eagles and hundred-dollar bills the
gold and silver he stole in the night a week
back. With a little more trepidation he
sells the remaining stun to a crooked pawn
broker or antiques merchant such as every
journeyman craftsman knows. After ALL
the junk might by some freak of fate be
identified and the merchant, to save him
self, squea1 on him But Uncle Sam never
squeals. He has done the burglar the kind
est service possible. AS safe and uncommu-
NEGATIVE as a church, he has played the
fence to him on practically all his plumber,
without so much as a thank you and hugely
to Mr.. Rallies safety, convenience and. pos
sibly, amusement.-New York Herald

could have been his wife would not be
and gradually the idea came to try to
solve the problem.
Indeed, it was a lonely home-this
pretty nest fit for any family. There was
the canary, to be sure, and the cat and
her kittens and the watchdog and the
flowers that he planted regularly every
spring But no one save he dwelt there.
And then-the idea.
He would carve out for himself
family Of blocks Of wood. He would start
with wife. He would make her the
ideal woman he had dreamed of so often,
and there would be children, toO-ohildren
who would be mRrvelE of hlial respect
and family love.
The idea, once conceived, took full pos
session Of the man He was already
skilled with tools. He began his task
with enthusiasm and day by day the
work progressed. He spared no pains
1t was labor of love. And as he worked
he found himself in love with this wooden
image OF the woman his own hands were
fashioning, full size and true to life.
II was finished. His home was no longer
empty; there was a wife to sit with him at
table and attend to the household duties
while he was absent at business,
ana Sne fedlly uOeS perform the uulleo OF
a housewife, in semblance at least. At the
proper time you will find her busting the
parlor in automatic quiet There is the
buster in her hand, but 1t moves not. An
other time she will be seated at the plano,
her hands stretched across tho unrespon-
sive keys. You will find her in the kitchen,
standing before the table, rolling pin in
hand making imaginary bread. She would
be the model wife-Mrs. Bennett as her
husband calls her-oould she move and
speak for herself
But the wife Is only one q this inter
esting wooden family. There are the 1--WE
daughters and a son. Edith May. the
eldest, was married recently and heI
father. Mr.. Bennett, made for her a spien-
did wooden husband. Sometimes the neigh
bors get glimpses of their honeymooning
the husband kissing his bride or holding
his arm around her waist.
No one In Fort Bragg laughs at this pa

| himself with beings he may love. In fact

ness. He has a responsible position anc
his credit is OF the best-and Bennett Il

WHAT MAKES A GOOD PIPE
Boost for the Humble COrncOb,
Taking Rank Near Head of
tho List.

Pipes are smoked by millions, always
have been, always will be. yet not one
smoker in a thousand knows the elements
OF good pipe. Engineers have been known
TO talk by the hour over the draft of their
fireboxes and never once in half lifetime
think of the draft in their pipes which they
smoke hourly.
Sage attention is paid to the pipe ma
terial, all Of which has little If anything to
do with the qualities of a pipe, and gem
orally nothing whatever is thought of shape
and proportion. the two things that make
a pipe good or bad. A 2-cent postage stamp
spent with intelligence will buy as good a
pipe as there is in the world; everything
added to that price is for ornament, vanity
and especially for ignorance.
The cOrncob holds a high place among
pipe smokers and deserves this place

jewelry. clothes. His son is usually for
tunate
The women OF Fort Bragg have no hest
fancy in calling occasionally upon Mrs.
Bennett and her five daughters. If they
are "out" the visitors leave their cards.
But more often they are in" Sometimes
Mrs. Bennett is reclining on the couch
in the parlor with one of the newest novels
in her hand. Sometimes she is bending
busily over the sewing machine; oftener in
the kitchen. Sometimes she is at the
table with her family, food cooked for all
and Bennett at the head Of the table
carving the roast
The Fort Bragg people have accepted
this strange condition OF things and respect
Mr.. Benefits own personality. No one
dreams OF making fun OF this pathetic
figure Of a man who knows his profession
we'll, keeps the conventionalities Of life
and has to content himself with a wooden
family instead of a real one. He Is very
frsnk In talking about 1t. too.
William Bennett is a thoroughly satisfied
and cOntented man. He spends his spare
hours in caring for his family, and many
| nights after his days business is finished
he may be seen going into the dry goods
| store, looking at and examining the latest
patterns and materials with never-fRiling
interest and a keen eye to their suitability
! for his daughters.
The jewellers Of the town know him we'll.
Many pieces to order have been made by
them for Mr.. Benefits family and they
know that when Christmas or any ami
versary comes Mr.. Bennett will do his
share Of the buying. Even the candy shops
are we'll patronized for all the girls are
fond of sweets and their father Is not
nisgardly in his qualification Of their
ukings.-Chicago Chronicle.

MAN WITH WOODEN FAMILY
Rears Happy Home with Wife,
Daughters and Son Carved
from Pine Blocks.

In the thriving little town of Fort
Bragg, Mendocino county, Cal, lives Will
liam Bennett There is no citizen more
respected than he. He is an electrical
engineer by profession and has charge
of the towns electric light plant. He
"a 80 years of age, alert Woodworking,
well-to-do and respected
Mr.. Bennett doesn't say anything about
his old life-his life back in the hills of
the New England states whore he fell
madly in love with a winsome lass. She
promised herself to him only to be fickle
in the end. She married another man.
There was nothing for poor Bennett to
do then but to take his grief and his
utter blackness of life as far away from
the old scenes of his love-dream as he
could. He went to California. There he
prospered.
He had money in the bank, respon-
sible position the friendship of the
,townspeople and a reputation above re-
proach. He made up his mind that he
would build himself home, even If there
was no woman in the world to brighten 1t
for him.
That house is done now and furnisETed
completely It has a parlor. dining room.
kitchen, bathroom and four bedrooms.
And there the man who Graves the love
that viii never be his lives In peace and
content with his wooden family all the
creatures of his hands. His home is one
of the prettiest in all the town. There
is a piano in the parlor, a sewing machine
In his wife's room, lace curtains in the
windows. There are cut glass and the
thinnest Of china, Angora rugs, heavy
carpets, cretonne hangings Every room
IS papered with taste. 1t is home OF
which any man might well be proud. And
the bedrooms, where sleep those wooder
folk, are models Of dainty prettiness anc
comfort with their spotless linen, theii

usually-for the best Of scientific reasons.
When a pipe is built on right principles
the bowl is as narrow and deep as Is con-
venient to fill; the hole in the stem meets
the bowl at the very bottom and in tho
center, thus insuring a perfect and even
draft, hence complete and even burning
Of the tobacco. The cake prevents the fire
from burning the bowl, thus prevents maxi
ing its bore larger or uneven which would
in proportion spoil the draft. The sides
Of the bowl are thick TO keep in the heat,
thus making the burning at the same tenn
perature at the edges Of the tobacco as at
the center. In this way a clean sweet
