Recompense, Just Like In the Stories
and Plays.
A Cleveland paper tells of tramp
who came to the bark door of a resi
dence and begged fur shoes. The mis
tress of the house rve him s a-ond
r.".'r a1 ci sa'd to f.i .1 : " '.;.- ..1 I
thete on. and If you want to show
your gratitude, lust happen around
here some morning after a snowstorm
and clean off our sidewalk.'
Some time after the lady v. as 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 a 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 1 vught sight of his benefac
tress at the- window he raised his tat
tered hat to ber, 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
tlun 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;
thnt It was a shame for a man of his
apparent Intelligence and good health
to he getting a living in such a dia
gnuretul way.
This lady became embarrassed
financially and was In sore need of
11 or.ey. She asked a friend where
.-he could borrow I.V10, 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 hud heard she was pressed for
money, and that he bad 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 t ab the tramp whom, a 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 bad
prospered beyond his deserts, and
that ever since be had gotten on bis
feet he had been wishing for an op
portunity to show his appreciation of
what she had done for him.

Birds That Can Talk.
Professor Scott of Princeton says
that wild birds sometimes introduce
variations Into their songs and, again,
more rarely, imitate not only the
songs of other birds, but the barking
of dogs, mechanical sounds like the
creaking of wheels, the filing of a saw
and even human speech. A writer in
Bird Lore glvea this well authenticat
ed Incident:
One morning while I was standing
on my back steps 1 heard m cheerful
voice say:
"You are a pretty bird. Where ire
you?"
I wondered how any parrot could
talk loudly enough to be heard at that
distance, for the houses on the street
behind us are not near. Presently the
voice came again, clear, musical and
strong:
"You are a pretty bird. Where are
you?"
For several days I endured the sus
pense of waiting for time to Invest!
gat. Then I chased him up. There
be was in the top of a walnut tree,
and his gorgeous attire told me imme
diately he was a rose breasted gros
beak. At the end of a week he was saying,
"Pretty, pretty bird. Where are you?"
He and his mate stayed near ua all
last summer, and this ' spring they
came again. He is making the same
remark aa plainly as ever a bird can
apeak.

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 la recalled where the
lawyer, after exercising all his tang
ling tactics without effect, looked quit
air-ally at the doctor who was testify
ing Hiid said:
"You will admit that doctors some
times make mistakes, won't you?"
"Oh, yes; the same as lawyers," was
the cool reply.
"And doctors' mistakes are buried
six feet under ground," was the law
yer'a triumphant reply.
"Yes," he replied, "and the lawyers'
mistakes often swing In the air."

BURGLARS' TOOLS.
Most of Them Made by Supposedly
Respectable Mechanics.
Every litUe while, said a detective
recently, the police arrest a man with
a set of burglar's tools in bis posses
sion, and one naturally wonders where
they all come from.
It la easy to buy a gun of any de
acription, and the moat 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 a "Jimmy" or a de
vice for drilling into a safe or any of
the many tools used by the profession
al burglar in the pursuit of his ca 1
Ing? There are places in the large cities
where these things are made and so'.d
to the users, but such places are ex
ceedlngly acarce. It may eeem a lit
tie strange to learn that most of thf
tools used In burglaries are made by
mechanica who are looked upon aa re
spectable' men in the community.
When a burglar wanta any partlcu
tar tool made he goea to a mechanic
who can do the Job and pays him per
haps five times what It la actually
worth for making the tool and keeping
quiet about it. Many detectives tan
recall cases of this kind that have
come to light.
Oue In particular occurred binu
years ago. when an escaped convict
named Williams went to a black
smith and got him to make a lot of
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. an 1
Williams was arrested. In this In
stance tbe blacksmith knew nothing
of the use to which the tools eie to
b rut Most of the tools tired bv
hu. eUrs are aecured In the saii.e .'.
Fi!ide!Vhl luqulser,
ARTFUL BILL DROP8 IN.
Calls to See His Friend Tom About
Small Money Matter.
Bystanders saw the dorby-hatted,
buRhy-eyebrowed little man enter the
office of his friend with the air of one
who has something on bis mind.
"Well, well! If there pin't O'd Kill!"
exclaimed the man sitting at his desk.
"What's on your mind, anyhow?"
"Oh. Just dropped in, Tom," replied
Bill. "Found myself on your door and
Just thought I'd see how everything
was with you."
"Glad you did. Well, bow're you
makin' out?"
"Kirst rate. How's things with
you?"
"Oil, 1 can't complain at all. How
are all the folks?"
"Fine. Everything's coming nil right
with you, is it?"
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 unei'fily. He seemed to lack
for a word. Evidently it was coming.
"Oh. by the way, Tom!" spoke up
Blil satidcnly, with much show of
spontaneity, "I was Just on my way
down to pay niy rent and It Just struck
rr.e that I haven't quite enough on
me. Could you let me have that ten
spot I lent you down at the club last
nlcht?"
There. He'd said It. The worst
was over. And It wasn't a touch after
all. but a man trying to collect a debt
In nn Inoffensive way, which Is thrice
as embarrassing.
Tom looked at his visitor. "Didn't
I ever give thnt back to you?" he ask
ed. "Huh! Why didn't you speak of
It before?"
"Oh. I haven't needed It wouldn't
have thought of It now, in fact, if I
hadn't been s'nndlng here and Just
linpp-ncd to think about not havin3
enough to hand to the landlord."
"Sorry you had to ask for it," apolo
gized Tom.
"Oh, thrt's nil right, I guess I know
you well enough to feel free to ask for
what I v.atit, hey? No need of formal
ity or anything betwe"n us. Of course,
I wouldn't have mentioned it at that
if I hadn't Just been here and hap
pened to think" and so on.
And having collected a debt that had
been on his mind for mouths, while
he wondered how to get it without giv
ing offense. Bill went his way In a
high state of Inward glee.
Queer Chinaman.
His left hand is the place of honor.
He carries a pig Instead of driving
him.
He whitens Instead of blackens his
shoes.
His favorite present to a parent la
a coffin.
He says sixty-four instead of four,
sixths.
He keeps out of step In walking
with others.
He shakes his own bands Instead
of his friends.
lie puts on hlB hat in salutation
wtien he takes it off.
He rides with his heels Instead of
his toea in the stirrups.
He deems It polite to ask a casual
cal!er's age and income.
His long nails are not a sign of
dlrtinefs but respectability.
His visiting card is eight and some-tin-os
thirty Inches long.
He often throws away the fruit of
the melon and eats the seed.
His merits often bring a title not
to himself but to his ancestors.
His women folk are often seen In
trousers accompanied by men ' in
gowns.-
A Chinaman's given name comes
after, not before, "his honored family
name."
His compass polnta south and be
speaks of westnorth instead of north
west. He does not consider It clumsy, but
courteous, to take both bands to offei
a cup of tea.
