JOKE ON BURGLAR

Special Agent T. K. Trigg of the Illi- nois Central railroad, received a visit from good-natured burglar last night, or else the joke was on the burglar.
 Detective Trigg, who had been away from his home at 3421 Willow street, Lakeview. for few days, suddenly re- turned late last night and heard noises which later proved that some individual had made a hasty exist on the approach of the sleuth.
 Investigation throughout the Trigg res- idence resulted in finding that nothing had been stolen. However. on going to the cellar Detective Trigg saw a well come fire in his furnace and large pile of ashes had been removed. In fact the whole cellar was cleaned spic and span.
 Whats the idea?" queried Trigg. "Did this burglar clean my cellar and make himself a nice fire to have good time in my house while he robbed it at leisure? Or was that scamp imbued with the Christmas spirit and knowing my aversion to the ashes removed them out ot kindness of heart?'

FOUND A REAL FRIEND
 ON BUSY CHRISTMAS EVE

with much encouragement from her in terrogator, she told her story. The story was a common enough one. It was that of young girl married to a poor me- chanic. A few months ago the husband was taken i'll with typhoid. For weeks the wife with young child nursed her husband and when he had recovered his health all the savings of the couple were gone. The husband was still too weak to work. They had no money. However the husband had his people at Mur- phreesboro, Tenn, and the couple left the small town they were in for Ten nessee. A kind-hearted conductor had given them lift as far as Birmingham and the reason for their going to the street car had been to ascertain which car would take them to the Salvation Army home, where they intended seek ing shelter for the night.
 The story was told simply and con- vincingly. No aims were asked. In fact, nothing was asked. The woman simply told the story and having told it re- lapsed to her former dejected and hope less attitude, quite oblivious that the angel-face lady was standing near with tears in her eyes
 You poor. dear girl" said the beau- tiful lady, don't worry any more. Take hold of your wife. young man and come Wltn me. NO, nOlu on, (and a taxlcau was signalled for) i've will ride"
 The couple plainly nonplussed by the turn of events, boarded the automobile and the beautiful lady followed. After a short ride the machine stopped be- fore a modest restaurant on Twentieth street and the couple, with their child, led by the angel face lady, entered. You haven't told me anything about it," said the angel faced lady, but l know that you haven't had anything to eat for ever so long. Now, l want you to eat everything that you want, and after you are through order what you think you will want to eat on the train tonight-
 "Train-tonight!" said the man and woman together.
 Yes that is what I meant. am go- ing to send you to your home at Mur- phreesboro
 The coupe said nothing further but applied themselves to consuming 2 hearty meal. while the angel faced lady beamed on them from across a nearby table. Following the supper the party started for the railroad station and tickets were purchased. A few minutes later the man. woman and the child were seated In railway coach and the brakemen were already believing. All aboard" when the angel face lady pressed a bill in the mans hand ard left the car. R. r. l..

 Probably the most notable charity enterprises were those of the EllSs. tho Salvation Army and Pisgah Home, all though the Associated Charities, the Mercy Home, the Anti-Tubercuiosis sanitanium and other institutions con tributed to make the day one of the most remarkable in Birmingham's his- tory for the scope and breadth of it's Christmas cheer.

 If any little heart was not made glad with gift, it was because the gift could not find the child, for Birmingham of

 IN HIS WAREHOUSE

 on Avenue B

Alex Cofeld, a negro, was shot and killed yesterday afternon at 8 o'clock by J. II Newsom, 731 South Thirteenth street, manager of the Jack Daniel Distilling company. The negro was attempting to stab MT. Newsom when he fired.
 According to accounts of the shoot ing given out by police authorities last night MT. Newsom was in the warehouse of the distilling company at 1215 Avenue B when an unknown negro rushed into the door and fled through the warehouse closely pursued by Cofeld( who was brandishing his knife and uttering threats.
 MT Newsom objected to having Cofield invade the warehouse and when he at- tempted to prevent him the negro turned on him, and for few minutes it was all he could do to protect himself He finally reached his pistol and shot the negro in the hip.
 Cofield was removed to the Hillman hos pital, where he died at o'clock. Mir. Newsom was arrested but was released a few minutes later on bond of 5000 on or ders from Coroner Spain. who stated to the police that even superficial exam ination had established clear care of self-defense.

They are on their way to Tennessee hcmel
 Thursday night they were in Birming- ham standing at the corner of Third ave- nue and Nineteenth street. homeless friendless and wearied unto exhaustion.
 It was rather weird Christmas Eve Thursday night. The gay, festive crowd thronged the slippery sidewalks In the persistent dripping of the rain. It was neither cold nor warm and was in d. rect contrast to the usual cold Christmas weather of Birmingham. But Thursday night 1t was comfortable despite the rhythmical dripping of the rain, and the crowds imbued with the Christmas spirit were in happy vein. That is. all of the crowd that a crowd usually sees.
 At Third avenue and Nineteenth street a stoop-shouldered man, shabbily dressed and a woman with A baby In her arms walked out from the walk to board an oncoming car. Before boarding the street car a few words passed between the con- ductor and the car and the ma nand woman and the car went on while the man and woman silently trudged back to the edge of the sidewalk. Their actions were unnoticed by the hundreds that were passing at this popular thoroughfare dur ing this time. There was happiness, laughter everywhere about; it seemed to mask the canker of poverty exemplified in the shabby couple and their child waiting at the curbstone.
 What were they waiting for? No one knew. Much less-no one cared. Yes-one person cared. One, and one only, heard the woman say as she sat on the foot board of standing automobile:
 'Oh, will the right car never come? l am so tired I am sure that I cannot go any further" Her husband. for the stoop- shouldered man was her husband. answered in weak voice:
 "A little further. Mary. just little further. We have to go on until the end--.'
 Then voice said
 My dear child, what on earth is the matter with you? Tell me all of your troubles-tell me everything. for I am sure that I can be of some service to you"
 The voice was vibrant with sympathy. It came from an angel-faced lady whose face was wreathed in smiles-a beautiful. kindly, trusting kind of face. The tired woman with the softly crying child looked up. However, whether stricken dumb that anyone should seek to help her-even on Christmas eve-or unable from emotion to speak, the woman made no answer. The man also was silent. As for the child it nestled on it's moth- er's breast and cried softly
 Again the sweet tones of the angel face lady were heard:
 Please answer my question. am sure that you are in some kind of trouble and I am sure that l can be of some aid to you. Please tell me all about 1t. ' It was then that the woman with the child recovered speech. Dinidently ana

GETS DYNAMITE INTERNAL ! MACHINE BY EXPRESS AS
 HIS CHRISTMAS PRESEN1

Because J. l.. Carrigan, tho con tractor. could not understand why any person in Kentucky should be sending him Christmas present. he summoned Detectives Streit and Wade to examine morning.
 The detectives came and handled the box gingerly. In the backyard after much maneuvering the top of the box was finally pried open and there was found snugly nestling a stick of iyna- mite with a fuse cap attached to an electric battery. The whole thing was arranged to go off the moment anyone pulled upon the sliding top of the box The internal machine was removed to police headquarters.
 Investig gation disclosed that the box had been sent from somewhere in Ken lucky through the Southern Express. card of notice was sent Contractor Carrigan Thursday morning. but vps forgotten. However, yesterday morn ing Mir. Carrigan remembered the notice and called at the express office for the package He secured box about six inches high and a foot long and the same width. MT. Carrigan was puzzled by the gift.
 At his residence, Burgin station. on the South Ensley car line, Mrs. Carri- gan warned her husband not to open the box and finally prevailed upon the contractor to summon the police. It will be recalled that in the early hours of August 2, some miscreant dynamited the residence of Contractor Carrigan.
