BREAD ON THE WATERS.
Reeompense, Just Like in the Stories
and PLAYS.

A Cleveland paper tells of a tramp
who came to the back door of a resi-
dence and begged for shoes. The mis-
tress of the house gave him sood
rair a~d said TO hiA. hes. ptt
these on, and II yol want to show
your gratitude, Just happen around
here some morning after a snowstorm
and clean OF our sidewalk"
Some time after the lady was awak-
ened early one morning by some one
scraping the sidewalk in front Of the
house. Looking out, she found that
there had been quite heavy fall OF
snow. and there she beheld the tramp
to whom she had given the shoes.
clearing away the snow from the
sidewalk with an old broken shovel.
When he caught sight OF his benefac-
tress at the window he raised his tat
tered hat to her, and his self-imposed
task finished. went away without say
ing a word or even asking for any
thing to eat Three times the same
thing happened during the winter, but
the man never asked for compensa-
ton or food
A New York woman once invited a
ragged, dirty beggar into her house,
and after he had had a comfortable
meal and some clean clothing she sent
him away with words of encourage
ment. telling him that he was made
for something better than tramping;
that it was a shame for a man of his
apparent intelligence and good health
to be getting a living in such a dis
graceful way.
This lady became embarrassed
financially and was in sore need Of
money. She asked friend where
she could borrow $500, but he could
not accommodate her, nor did he
know of any one who could not. Next
day. to her great astonishment, a
man. total stranger, as she thought,
called at her house and told her that
he had heard she was pressed for
money, and that he had come to lend
her the amount she needed. With
growing surprise she asked how it
was that a complete stranger, whom
she had never seen, was willing to
trust her. The man then explained
that he was the tramp whom, year
before, she had taken to her home
and treated like a brother; that her
kindness on that occasion had been
the turning point in his career, had
made a man of him again; that he had
prospered beyond his deserts, and
that ever since he had gotten On his
feet he had been wishing for an op-
portunity to show his appreciation OF
what she had done for him.

office of his friend with the air of one
who has something on his mind.

Fine. Eyerything's coming all right

Now. after the conversation had run
along in that strain for a little while,
the bystanders in the Office decided
that the caller had dropped in to make
a touch.
Bill shifted from one foot to the
other uneasily. He seemed to lack
for a word. Evidently it was coming
"Oh, by the way, Toni" spoke up
Bill suddenly, with much show Of
spontaneity, q was just on my way

all. but man trying to collect a debt
in an inofiensive way, which is thrice
as embarrassing.
Tom looked at his visitor. Didn't

"Oh. l haven't needed it-wouldn't

And having collected debt that had
been on his mind for months. while
he wondered how to get it without CIV

high state Of inward glee.

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
they all come from.
1t is easy to buy a 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 de
vice for drilling into a safe or any OF
the many tools used by the profession
al burglar in the pursuit OF his cal
ing?
There are places in the large cities
where these things are made and sold
to the users, but such places are eX-
ceedingly scarce. II may seem lit
tie strange to learn that most OF the
tools used in burglaries are made by
mechanics who are looked upon as re.
spectacle men in the community.
When a burglar wants any particu.
lar tool made he goes to mechanic
who can do the job and pays him per.
haps five times what II is actually
worth for making the tool and keeping
quiet about 1t. 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 black
smith and got him to make a lot oi
drills to be used in safe cracking. He
personally superintended the temper
ing of the steel. but when the job was
nearly completed It leaked out, ana
Williams was arrested. In this In
stance the blacksmith knew nothing
Of the use to which the tools weie to
be nut. Most OF the tools used by
burglars are secured In the sane Ws{

Lawyer Got Paid Back In His Own
Sarcastic Coin.
Most lawyers take a keen delight
trying to confuse medical experts in
the witness box In murder trials, and
often they get paid back in their own
coin. A case is recalled where the
lawyer, after exercising all his tang
ling tactics without effect, looked quiz
zically at the doctor who was testify
ing and said:
You will admit that doctors some
times make mistakes, won't your"
"Oh. yes; the same as lawyers" was
the cool reply.
"And doctors mistakes are buried
six feet under ground" was the law
yers triumphant reply.
Yes" he replied, "and the lawyers
mistakes often swing in the air."
