BURGLARS TOOLS.
Most of Them Made by Supposedly
Respectable Mechanics.

Every little while, said a detective
recently, the police arrest man with
a set of burglars tools in his posses
sion, and one naturally wonders where
theytal come from.
1t is easy to buy u gun of any de-
ScriptiOn, and the most reputable per-
son would not be ashamed to be seen
purchasing the most wicked looking
knife ever made. But who would know
where to get Jimmy" or a device
for drilling into safe or any of the
many tools used by the professional
burglar in the pursuit of his calling?
There are places in the large cities
where these things are made and sold
to the users, but such places are ex-
ceedingly scarce. 1t may seem little
strange to learn that most of the tools
used in burglaries are made by me-
chanics who are looked upon as re-
spectacle men in the community.
When a burglar wants any particu-
lar tool made he goes to a mechanic
who can do the job and pays him per-
haps five times what it is actually
worth for making the tool and keeping
quiet about it. Many detectives can
recall cases Of this kind that have
come to light.
One in particular occurred some
years ago when an escaped convict
named Williams went to a blacksmith
and got him to make a lot of drills to
be used in safe cracking He person
ally superintendent the tempering of
the steel, but when the job was nearly
completed it leaked out, and Williams
was arrested. III this instance the
blacksmith knew nothing Of the use to
which the tools were to be put. Most
of the tools used by burglars are Sc
cured in the same way.-Philadelphia

Shoemakers Candles.

l we'll remember some seventy years
ago seeing fiat candles in use. To
produce what was known as the fat
candle, which was also sometimes
called "shoemaker's candle two new
ly made dips" were pressed close to
each other while soft and then again
lowered into the hot fat, thus holding
them together as one candle with two
wicks. The size could then be increas-
ed if desired This fiat candle was
most generally used by shoemakers
and tailors, but was made use Of in
some households whenever an extra
bright light for working or reading
was required-Cor. Dickensian.

The Way 5inks Tried 1t on His Six

Binks had sent Mrs. Binks on visit
to her mother, and he was on the job
with the six-months-old baby.
In the night the baby woke and
cried. Binks looked at his watch
three-quarters of an hour till bottle
time. He said to himself:
Let him yell He's healthy little
Indian, and he must be disciplined"
Then Binks tried to sleep.
But Binks couldn't sleep. Every cry
grew more pathetic and abused and
heartsick and discouraged. Each cry
said more and more plainly: IL have
no friends or relatives. I'm unhappy
and uncomfortable and want some one

ENGLISH SCHOOLS.
Quaint Customs That Are Maintained
With Religious Care.

'hS''S'S6S SdTSs
The head master of Manchester Gram
mar school, in a speech at Rochdale.
referred to custom ut Rugby school
which forbids boy of less than three
years standing to turn up his trousers
and insists on his doing so after that
period
The custom is only minor instance
OF the quaint practices that exist at
all the great public schools in Eng
land and are maintained with religious
care, though in many cases their origin
is obscure or unknown. The Shrove

which gains for its possessor a. guinea
from the dean, is perhaps the best
known among them. A curious GUS
tom at Marlborough requires every
boy to bring to school with him a
cushion, technically termed "kish'-
with the 'i'' long. This article is his
nseparable companion in school time
and, in addition to the ordinary func-
tons of cushion, is employed to car
~ books from one form room to an
other.
At Shrewsbury school, at the be-
ginning of each term, hall elections
are held for the posts of hall crier,
hall constable, hall postman and hall
scavengers. The genial brutality of
youth often selects for the position of
hall crier either the most nervous boy
in the school or one who is afflicted
with a stammer.
The new boy in the scho0lhouse at
Rugby is early called upon to take his
part in "house singing" At this func-
ton, which is held in one of the dor
mitories, he has to render a song to
the satisfaction of his audience, the
penalty being the swallowing of
mouthful of soapy water.
Another ancient school custom is the
parade of the Christ's hospital blue
coat boys before the lord mayor at the
Mansion House on st. Matthew's day,
when the "Grecians," who correspond
to "sixth formers" elsewhere, receive
guinea each and the rank and file
of the school are presented with new
administration Mail

SUIT FOR POSSESSION
COMMENCED IN COURT
East Chicago Druggist AL.
most Finds Himself on
the Street.
Especial to THE TINES

East Chicago. Ind, Dec. S-The al
legged failure of Theodore and John EN-
cry of Chicago. owners of the old post
office building, to keep verbal con-
tract with Sidney H. Veaco, the drug
man, has resulted in the commencing
of suit which promises to outshine
that of E. Garston Smith and his
Feuer feud, in Gary. The Emory
brothers yesterday filed suit in Judge
Frank Prest's court at Hammond, in
which they claim possession of the
building and $3.50 rental.
The Emory brothers are remodeling
the postoffice building, intending to
make it firstclass office structure,
three stories in height. When their
negotiations with the contractors first
commenced, Mr.. yeaco was told by Fred
J. Fife agent Of the building, accord
ing to the drug mans allegations, that
the section of the building now used
for postof1ce purposes would be re-
modelled and leased to him for his
drug store. Jim Morrelli, the Chica-
go avenue fruit man, had secured the
corner site for his confectionery store.
Mr.. Veaco was highly satisfied with
the change, as it meant a saving in
| rent and the furnishing Of as good a
| store as he now occupies. Some two
| weeks after this verbal agreement he
had with Mr.. Fife, Morrelli told the
| agent that if Veaco was to be in the
same building with him he would have
| to concentrate all of his sales to drugs
allowing the candy and ice cream bust
ness to go entirely to the Morrelli
] concern. Mr.. Veaco refused to give
| up this valuable part of his business
and Morrelli, after a few days quiet
work, succeeded in leasing the entire
main floor of the building. OF course
Veaco was astonished to find that his
| supposedly valid agreement had been
/ broken by Mr. Fife and the owners
| of the building and was more sur
prised when told that he would have
| to move out shortly after Jan I, as
the fruit mans lease commenced on
| that date.
| Were there any available stores va
cant in East Chicago. Mr.. veaco would
not hesitate about moving, and at
tempted to reach an agreement with
NJ. Feinberg, the tailor Mr.. Fem
months, and said that would not move
unless given $500. veaco refused and
declares that he will hold the Emory
| agent to the original verbal agree
ment. He has secured Attorney r.
n. Gavit, of Whiting, to represent him
in the upper courts and has been as
| sured that his cause for complaint is
a valid one. The Emory interests are
represented by Attorney George 3.
