The Sailor Man.

An old salt who navigates bicycle
when in port was working rapid pas
sage the other day when he collided
with a lady cyclist After they had
extricated themselves from the wreck
the sailor made an apology from
which she could gather little except
that he was sincerely sorry.
I'm sure I ought to be scuttled for
II. num-" he said rapidly. "but
couldn't get yer signals no more than
IL we were feelin' through fog bank.
l was BLOWN for you to pass to port
an steerin' my course accordin'. Just
as l was goin' to dip my eeunant an
salute proper your craft refused to
obey her rudder an you struck me
for'ard. Afore l could reverse your
jibboom fouled my starboard mizZen
riggin', your fowin' gown snarled up
with my bobstay. blew out yer pneu-
matte, parted yer toppin lift an car
ried away my jacksaddle down haul.
AS I listed 1 tried to jibe. but cap

in In the wreckage."
BY this time there was an interested

| batting whether she should run from a
| supposed lunatic or ask for an inter
prefer.
But Jacks headpiece was still in his
| hand and he was not finished.
I'm hopin' yer not enough damaged
for the hospital" he went on. ''but
I'd be sunk if l wouldn't be glad to

here little craft of yours will be rs
seaworthy as ever when her upper
works is Strengthened out an we get
wind into her sails again. I'll just tow
her down to the dock for repairs"

THIEF SHOOTS CHUTES,,
FINDS BOX OF MONEY

An enterprising thief who fully under
stands the intricacies Of the coal chute
and the good things it might lead TO If
properly utilized, succeeded in obtaining
$3.50 from the safe Of Schwartz & Pelz-
man, tailors, of sos and 500 Seventh
street northwest last night
Believing that no one would ever think
to shoot the chute IN the dead Of night
and run the chance Of getting all FUSED
up with coal dust, nobody bothered 10
close the chute
So a nice, quiet person took a turn
down TIE chute, up the back stairway,
and into the tailoring establishment,
where, still pursuing their accommodate
ing way, the prOprietors had left their
safe open
Snugly tucked away in a corner was
an iron box containing $3.50. With q
deft blow from q tTusty hammer the
box was split open and presto, the deed
was done
The enterprising thief did not leave
his card, and the police do not know
him.
