OF Sore Mouth or Sore Throat. If not
quickly cured. you are in danger of con-
tracing more serious or even fatal mala-

Diphtheria. Nothing in the world will cure

KING OF sAFE.BREAKERS.
Marvellous DeIicacy Of Hearing Poe
sessed by Miner James.

Miner James was the most artistic
safe-breaker in the business said
Lecocq the detective. Tie is dead
now. He opened in his time over 700
safes without tools or gunpowder
solely by working out the combination
with his delicate and patient fingers.
1T took me a year he once said,
to learn the trick of picking combina-
lions. l studied all the locks there
were and l had three safes of different
makes to practice on. The ear is the
most important factor in my method
and it must be held tight against the
safe door on a line with the tumblers
When the knob of he lock is turned
slowly and one of the tumblers reach
es the notch corresponding to the first
number of the combination the tum-
bier will fall with a little click. Care
must be taken not to displace this
tumbler. You keep on trying the knob
back and forth gently till each of the
tumblers drops. Then the door opens.
Hardly one man in a thousand has an
ear delicate enough for this work and
to be- a success at it you've got to give
up tobacco and alcohol"
