Safe 3 lowing Up to Date.

The. confidence of German manufac-
turers Of safes in the resistance OF
their wares against ordinary safe
blowing operations has been rudely
shaken by the recent achievements of
single unaided robber in Dresden and
other cities. The details of his last
operation are as follows:
In hotel q room was secured which
was situated Immediately above the
office of a money changer. At night
hole was pierced in the ceiling OF
this office. BY the use Of drill and
saw a circular piece Of the flooring
was easily raised. Beneath lay a thick
layer of cement. A small orifice was
made in this and an umbrella showed
down into the space below. The UNI
brella was attached firmly from above,
and when opened received without
noise all the fragments of cement
which were dislodged as the hole was
enlarged so as to allow of the easy
passage of a person. BY means of a
rope ladder the descent was readily
made into the office below.
Next the robber brought down two
cylinders of compressed oxygen and
ar acetylene generator charged with
calcium carbide and water. With
these he was able to produce a blow
pipe flame of such intensity that steel
fuses in it like lead in an ordinary gas
jet. 1t required but a brief space OF
time TO melt away so much of the door
that all the contents of the safe were

a young medical friend Of his who Is
interested in insanity symptoms and
is a sort Of amateur alienist. The
other day the student got chance to
visit one Of the wards in the asylum

there was a man confined there who
labored under the hallucination that
he was God, the student asked that ne

he appeared the most promising Tor

ward where the lunatic was confined
and the following conversation en-
sued:
Student-Are you the Deity?
Lunatic-From everlasting unto
everlasting I am he.
"Well, I've been looking for you for
a long time. have a question to ask
you. How do you reconcile the doc
trines Of predestination and free will?'
The lunatic drew himself up to his

How TO Get Good Roads.

North Carolina is away ahead OF
Virginia in a great many respects, but
Virginians do not like to be told so.
Down in Forsyth county. not far from
the Virginia line, an election has been
gotten up by the farmers for a vote
on a bond issue Of 100000 for the
permanent improvement Of the high.
ways. We doubt not the farmers OF
that section will vote the bond issue,
as they are wide-wake to the
Importance of the matter.
This is just our position with ref

get them and that is to vote the money
for doing the work. So far as we are
