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.” Two Failures.

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 glass blowers who struck several days ago returned to work to-day, on the terms of the employers, who insisted on ttieir right to work apprentices.

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.
