ARMOUR TRIED TO TIPA BARON
And Really found One? crson in Europe
~ “’lm Reduced to Accept' It.
P. ..D Armour generally spends his
summer vacation at CarlsBad,
many. Baron Kissengen, one of the
richest noblemen in Germany and a
great lover of horses, was at the
springs at the time of the Chicago
millionaire’s visit one summer. Near
Carlsbad, the baron kept half a hun—
dred magnificent horses. M11. Armour,
says the New $0rk Herald, with an
American friend, went out to visit the
stable.‘ 1A custodian to whom they-ap-
plied granted peimission. 1
“can you give us some one to show-
the horses?” asked Mi. Armour. The
custodian looked about. Near one of
the stalls stood a plain-looking man,
and the custodian said: “I think he
will show you the horses.” .
The plain-looking man did shew
them, and did it well. He knew the
horses by name, their pedigrees, and
he told all about them.
that Mr. Armour always Carries in his
coat pocket when in Europe a unmber
of silver coins, which he distributes
among peOple who are good to him. So
when it 'was all over he fished out
about a. half pint of coins and tendered
them to the plain-looking man. The
latter, with an amused sort of smile,
declined, but waved the American to
the stable -b0ys, as people who com-
monly mad-c small objections to such
favors. . ,
“I am Baron Kissengen,” said the
plain—looking man simply, but gra-
ciously. “I am glad to know you,”
said Armour. “Not only because you
have the finest lot of horses I have
seen in the country, but because you
are the first person I have found in
this country who has refused to take a
tip.”
HE MET HIS WATERLOO.
"Billy ” P1 nkei ton Found a Denver Pick-
pocket too Slick {01 Him.
William Pinkerton, whom the world
known as “Billy” and has supposed the
real modern pVidocq, hasfallen from
his pedestal. The fall was occasioned
by an unknown pickpocket who, in
Denver, the other day relieved Mr.
Pinkerton’s inside coat‘pocket of $250.
Mr. Pinkerton’s purpose in going to
Denver was to advise the local police
how to best protect people from pick-
pockets during a carnival that was in
progress. The day following his ar-
rival there was a parade, and M11. Pin-
kerton undertook the task of giving an
object lesson of his method of foiling
pickpocket designs.
He moved about among the people
who lined the streets and kept a
sharp outlook for the light fingered
folk who take the chance that in steal—
ing anoth'er’s purse they steal trash.
Just how it happened, no one, not even
Mr. Pinkerton, knows, but when: the
Chicago detectiVe king reached his ho-
tel he found himself minus the $250
that had been in his possession When
he began to give his object lesson,
This is the first time, so far as crini- '
inal records show, that a man who has
won international reputation as a
thief catcher was ,ever made the victim
of a thief when he- was locking fo'r'
iust such a criminal. Mr. Pinkerton
gave no further lessons to the Denver
police, but returned to Chicago, where
the thieves know and fear him.
MANUFACTURE OF HAIR PINS.
l‘he Greenest camimima in Putting
‘ on the Enamel. .
For ages. the English and French
controlled the manufacture of I hair
pins, and it is only within the, last
twenty years that the goods have been
produced in other countries to any ex-
tent. The machinery used is of a. deli-
cate and intricate character, as the
price at which the pins are sold neces-
aitates the cheapest and .: most rapid
process, which can only be secured by
tutomatic machines. The wire is made
expressly for the purpose and put up
in .large coils, which are placed in a
clamp and so carried toythe machine
while being straightened." This ma-
chine cuts, bends, and by a delicate in-
;tantaneous process sharpens the point.
Running at full speed it will turn out
[20 hair pins every minute. To.-econ‘-
omize it is necessary to keep ,the en-
gine going day and night. The ’dif-
ficult part of the work is in the enamel-
lng, which is done by dipping the pins.
In a preparation and baking, in an
)ven. It is here that the most constant
and careful attention is required, as the
pins must be absolutely smooth and the
enamel have a perfect polish. The
slightest particle of dust causes
perfections and roughness—Pearson’s
Weekly.
ROS-A BONHEUR’S ADMIRERS.
Given a. Royal Reception bylhe Artists of
‘ Paris,
The bon camaraderie which exists
among French artists is well known,
but the esteem in which they hold the
veteran Rosa Bonlieur amounts almost
to enthusiasm. The aged lady was ex-
pected at the, Galerie George Petit,,to
superintend the hanging of her four
last pastels. All the artists in Paris
were there to receive... her, and she
was led, along the corridor by the most
distinguished of them, as if she had
been a Princess of the Blood Royal.
Of her four pictures, two were of
stags—one standing in dim twilight, the
other bathing in the early rays of the
rising sun. Another picture is of a
bison in the snow. The fourth, which
is generally cons‘idered’the finest of all,
shows a shepherd cooking his supper
in a shed, surroundedby his flock. The
.vool of the sheep is executed with mar-
velous technical skill. A\s-heep dog
guards his charge. -—Philadelphia Led-
