ceitain Saturday night he offered Jake
hhn mff f w r i5 the i j ai er ’ ,?50 if Ut! W’ou’d let
him out for the night, promising to return
before daylight Sunday morning. I al-
when¥ ellt t .°. t . lle J ail on Sunday then, and
^,5' .! 1 ™ ent there Oil the Sunday succeed-
l g the Saturday night on which the offer
t\as made, Jake told me about it. Baum
gartner was as honest a man as you could
lind anywhere, and, of course, refused to
accept Mackey’s p oposition. He would
lather have let him out for nothing if he
had considered it a sure thing that he
would return Bat he did not feel safe
about it, as Mackey had several months
yet to serve at that time.
“When I heard what Jake had to say I
called Burt down and asked him if he de-
sired to get out of jail for a night.”
y*o, said he, *1 would not give five
cents to get out. It is too late.’
‘ ‘What do you mean?’ I asked.
I mean that the “ plant” is raised.’
At that time I didn’t know what such
terms as ‘plant’ meant and I requested
Burt to explain to me the meaning of the
word.
“ Til tell you some day after I get out,’
said he. ’
“ Meeting Burt subsequent to bis release
I reminded him of his promise to explain
what lie meant by saying that the ‘plant
was raised.’
“'Said he: ‘There was a party of us who
had a bundle of money that was to be di
vided share and share alike on the Satur
day night I wanted Bumgartner to let me
out. The reason I wanted to be at the di
vide was because, according to the arrange
ment, the share of any man who was in
prison at the time of the division was to go
to those who were present at the meeting.
I meant by the expression, “The plaut
had been raised,” that the money bad
been taken from where it was concealed
and had been disposed of.’
“ ‘That was a queer arrangement,’ said
I, ‘that provided that those who might be
in prison must lose their share.’
•‘ ‘Be that us it may,’ replied Burt. ‘I lost
my share and there’s an end of it.’ ’’
“What became of Mackey?”
“He made a trip down the river and on
the boat fell in with a rich old farmer
from Missouri. The old farmer or planter
became infatuated with the young man
and offered him all sorts of inducements to
accompany him home and bcome a son to
him. He told Burt that he would give
him all the money he could spend and
would make him manager of his entire
plantation. The old fellow promised to
make him his heir when he died and at
last prevailed upon the boy to go home
with him.
“Arrived there the planter treated
Mackey royally, but Burt couldn’t with
stand the temptation to return to his old
life of excitement and danger, so he said to
the planter: ‘You have been exceedingly
kind to me, and no doubt think a great
deal of me, but I must leave you and go my
way. I am a born thief, and have made
my living by stealing for years past. My
Inclinations are to steal, and I will never
do anything else. I foisted myself upon
you for the purpose of robbing you, and I
am tempted every day to rob you and run
off. You must let me go before I prove
myself an ingrate as well as a thief by re
turning your kindness by robbing your
money box.’
“The old man implored him tojremain,
saying:
“Rob me if you will, but do not go away.
If you rob me you cannot take so much
but that I will have more left than I can
use. I am rich and have money to spare.
Steal all yon please from me, but stay here
with me till f die.’
“Burt went away despite the pleadings
of his benefactor, and died a short time
afterward in the Missouri penitentiary.”

MR. CHILDS’CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Money—#dii,000 Distributed.
New York Sun.
Philadelphia, December 24.—George
W. Childs was at his office until late to
night. For several hours he was steadily
engaged iu sealing envelopes, and in each
oi these envlopes there was something
that will make this a joyful Christmas for
the recipients. On the desk in front of Mr.
Childs were piles of crisp, now
bank notes. At tho extreme right was a
small pile of $500 notes; next to them
was a very respectable pile of notes of the
$100 denomination, immediately in front
of him was a big pile of $50 notes, and at
the left was a box lull of $10 notes. On a
stand was a big box crammed with envel
opes that had already been directed at his
suggestion, with a memorandum on one
corner saying: “With the best wishes of
Mr. Childs.” As he put tho notes in he
sealed the envelopes, which contained
nothing except the money, and put them
in another box.
Mr. Childs was engaged iu liis usual
Christmas work of sending presents to his
employes and other persons, many of
them poor and needy families, whom lie
is iu the habit of remembering at this sea
son. It was tedious work, but |Mr. Childs
did not seem to mind it, and looked very
happy. Once ho made a mistake and pick
ed up two $50 notes instead of one. Look
ing at the name on the envelope, he said :
“Well, he buried uohild this year. Iguess
he’ll need them both.” It was for one of
the printers. Every person in Mr. Child’s
employ was remembered by a gift of
money, and few received less than $5.
A man in tho Lodger business office says
that Mr. Childs distributed and sent off to
day alone over $10,000 in new bank notes
as Christmas presents. He also sent sev
eral $500 presents and several checks of
$1000 during the past few days. In a room
adjoining his office two men were busy
packing up and directing books and other
articles of Christmas presents. It was
learned from a trustworthy source that up
to last night, including the envelopes
to his employes. Mr. Childs had given
away $25,000 in Christmas presents.
They Surrendered.
Baltimore, December 28.—Most ofthe

What a Oortor Belated.
To a reporter of the Kalamazoo, Mich.,
Telegraph, Dr. Francoise, the well known
veterinary surgeon, said: “In the spring
of 1SC>3, while handling some carbolic acid
which I was about t<5 use for some purpose
in the practice of my profession, I acci
dentally spilled some ot it on my left leg
between the ankle and the knee. Well,
sir, I didn’t think of its being any very se
vere injury at the time, though it made
quite a painful wound ; but I had a terrible
time with that leg. On the place where it
was burned with the acid there came a
running sore which never left me for
three years, and which might have been
there yet if I hadn’t used 9. S. 9. It dis
charged a serum-like matter and was very
painful at times. It was a great incon
venience to me in mV business, for a man
to be a successful veterinary surgeon must
be both active and muscular. Well, it was
queer, but I couldn’t find anything that
would cure that sore. I submitted to the
treatment of a number of physicians in
turn, and tried various remedies, both
standard and impirical, in which I had
considerable confidence. But I got no
better. After suffering great pain and pe
cuniary loss I concluded to try it myself.
I teli you I was rather discouraged, but
last spring I began taking 9. 9. 9., and felt
better right off After using six bottles,
averaging a bottle every seven or eight
davs I was cured up. That leg was all
ric-ht, and it has never bothered me a bit
since I am kind of mashed on that med
icine, but I have good reasons to be. I
can’t say too much for it, and almost be
lieve it would cure anything. I have
heard a great deal of what it has done,
out vou see this instance of which I have
told you was a cure of which I had per
sonal and positive knowledge.
