"Ladders when you and them handy. " saya
thu retired burglar. In the New York Sun ,
"may seem , like a vry convenient way ot
getting Into open second-story windows , but
after two exper'ences th t I had with them
I save them up > isd stuck to the old fash cn l
way of doors and" cellar windows.
"In a. suburban , town that I visited once I
found m painting a Queen Anne house in
1 the rainbow atvic that they used to paint
i houses in. ar.d that. I suppose , they paint 'ein
In still to omo ostent. The men had adders
up , no stHge and I noticed that at the dcse
of the day one of them -vaa painting near a' ,
window , and I wocder-d if he'd leave his
tedder there when he stopped work at aight.
I sauntered around tfcat way after ' 'ark and i
there U was. and it was summer 'lail the win- j
dow was wide open. Jtcst folks in the caun-
try , when their house * are being paintfd. are
apt to be a little skittish about 'lie- ladders ,
and if one should be left like 'h:3 one they'd
be pretty sure to dosi > the n ln > low near it |
and lock it , but these folks Mdn t apiiear tn
be disturbed. And as tar as 217 sttin- ; into
the house ws on-erne.3. Ir WTS Ju ? ; al out
as easy for me to waik un tliat lad ler dnd
step off through the window aa it would have
been to walk in at the front done with it un
locked.
"Later , about 2 o'clock the next morninir. I
went up that ladder and in a : : ho window
without the slightest trouble ; and there wrs
nobody alfepmg in that room. It. was all
just aa easy as it coul.1 oe. I poked iround
the aoupe and gathered up 7rb.i ± suS thera
was worth carrying oil an.t went ! xick co tLat
room and the rptnvialiw and dovin the
! adder and ail.
" \ month lifter that , as T was walking
across the platform of a. station on the some
road that the other tonn naj on to Mke
a tram , ther was a man laid hla hand on
my arm and says : 'Now. don't make a fUBH
abou : it and It'll be a good dc l eisier all
! around. ' And I rscsgnized In him the de
tective of the road , a man that I kae-w
meant business , and I went alung with him
without any row.
"B inc a mn of brains , he bad sine up
to the house -vhere the robbery was a * soca
as he had heard ot It. which was .lie dai
after. There he had put himself in the burg
lar's place and follawed in his uncStepe
as near aa he could. He had bad Jic ladder
placed in lust the same position , and he bad
gen up that , and stepped off into the win
dow , and fallowed over his track inside thu
house aa clcso aa he could guess at it. and
then he'd come back to the window , and got
out onto the ladder , and so 'lo.va : a the
ground.
"The ladder went up on the right hnnd
side of this wtadow and while u was easy
enough to reach it , still it was quite a. little
step from the sill to he UilJer. and he
noticed that when he hud got his _ foot on the
ladder he swung back a lltrie" toward the
aauftf. so that his elbow Juzt touched it in.
the azgie berween the window frame and the
clapboards. He give a. IKtle push on that
elbow naturally and threw himself out again
onto the ladder. Then he stopped and looked
at tae spot where his elbow had touched.
The paint was dry and there was no uiarii.
but he called up the painters and learned
that on the morning befora that was the
morning after the house had bean robbed
the paint at that place , on the elspooard by
the window frame , and on the ! T.i'ie ! ttsolf
had been smudged a little , and 'hpy'd
touched it over. That was all tae detective
wanted to know From that time on he
had been looking for a man with : two paints
spots ot different colors on the leit clfaa-v
of his coat , and I was the man.
"It ntay aeem amazing to you that I
hadn't rubbed the paint off I had rubbed
some of it off , and I waa going to rah. the
rest oZ the : eit day. and then I kept set
ting tie next day ahead as we are apt to do ,
isd I anally wound1 up by letting It go al-
tozether. the rcat ot It. There wasn't one
chance in a thousand of its le-idlng to any
thing , and ver so it was I might have talked
myself out of the paint , but I haU a. watcu
that I'd got In. tae house in my pocket , and
that settled , it.
"That was one ladder , this W23 the other-
"Looking around the outside of a house m
the country one night I found e. ladder .ylns
on the g-ound igamst the rear of the house.
They had some fruit trees in the garden and
I suppose they'd been -vo king over them , ir
on the grape arbor , maybe , and ere going on
with the work next day and had left the lad
der out instead at : akng It down cellar for
the nigbt. It was summer and on the side of
the aouse there were two windows open In
one rcom. I thought I'd set the ladder up
then and go in at one at those windows. I jet
thu ladder up and found it a little abort , but i
by reaching up and getting a hold of the !
window sill and stepping up an the ends of j
the side pieces ot the ladder I was able to I
get in tolerable easy I went through the' '
bouse and gathered up what there as to get ,
and was turniug to go from the last room
when I knocked a picture aver an a bureau
and woke up the man that waa sleeping In
the room. I neat back to the room I'd come
in at and hacked out of the window a-'tl
hung down for the ladder , and. by cricks ,
U wasn't there. But Id gat to go ail tae ,
atnut and I let zo and dropped. I saw the j

This la a record-braiking year with the :
United States mint at San Francisco , says i
the San Francisco Call. There are two gr t
fmturea ot Interest tn the dtory of Ita y ar'a
operations. One la that slnra August I It baa {
been s-.velllng the vast total at the coinage ;
of the United States with a greater flood ot |
gold than has ever poured rnrai Ita busy i
stamps In itn history Tae other la Wist since '
that tome date it has been unable to supply '
the vastly increased demand tor IS gold )
pieces and subsidiary silver that the new ,
prosperity has occaoloned in the channels of
trade.
The gold coined during the calendar year to
December t amounts to over (30.0W.9OO. and
the coinage far December will make the total
over 4. l ,0flfl. In ISM tne total gold coin
age waa J2S.3W.tWO. Only twice In the his
tory of the mint hia this year's record been
exceeded. In 18TS the gold coinage was J36-
092,000 and In 18TD It was Hii,209 500. In only
ona other year , in 1877. was the J30 000.090
mark passed. But this year the mint has
been In operation , but eleven months as compared -
pared with twelve months In thcas banner
years. Had operations not been suspended
during all of July when tha settlement ot Its
affairs and Its transfer to tha new superin
tendent , Frank A. Leach , were tn progress ,
thu gold coinage for the present year would
have exceeded that ot 1S7D. As It is. the rcc-
orl Sa broken by the average monthly rate
and by the output for September. wilch naa
the largest af any month in the history of
the mint , which , since Its establishment In
1SS4 , has coined more than holt the total gold
coinage of the United States In all .ta history
!
, Duringtha three months of August , Septem-
j her and October the coinage of double eacles
alone was U4.150.00 For some yeara the
' average monthly rate of the total coinage has
been about J2.000.000.
i It is interesting to know tn connection with
i this brilliant record that during taose three
1 itr'-at rears in gold coinage , wtilchvcre also
the banner years tor silver coinage th mint
' operations -\ere conducted with two shifts of
1 employes and the capacity of the mint waa
thus doubled. There ar ? aow nearly .40 per
cent fewer employes than then.
Sliver coinage is alee going on at i rapid
rate : and will approach ST.OOO.'JOO for the year
During November 300 000 allv > r dollars were
caired and the total silver coinage for this
month wlil approximate J73t ) 000..l this in
crease has come ilong with the new prosper
ity In the four months from. August 1 to
December 1. over J29 000.009 In cold and sil
ver has been cracked out by the Susy coiner
A. T Spotta. In October the number of coins
struck was 1.2S4.000.
There are two reasons for the phenomenal
output of m.cteii sold , during the last ialf
of the year. One is the increase in the lohl
production ; n 'he Pacific coast , and the othe'
arri chief one is the heavy imports of gold
from Australia In pu'yment for the heavy
wheat shipmn.tH. and the general ba-anoe
of trodB n our favor In one nrontii J3 500 -
000 la English sovereigns was received from
Australia and about $10 000.000 of her aiajta-
ty's zold coins have goce into Vncle Sam 3
meltinpata oa Fifth street in the pas ; few
mcnths.
But with ail its activity the inlat was un-
abio during the busy season of fall trade to
supply the demand for small change through
out all the state , and all the Pacific rcnsr
harvests * ere large , business wao hnsk iud
the call for tie smaller co ca was great The
mint felt this demand through the United
States sutnrezsury , thnmgu banks aad
through individuals who came to the mint
* { & . sack of double-cables to exchange fcr
smaller coins. At times there would be quite
a lii'.u of men with these bags of gold at the
caaiier's window Superimeadtat Leach felt
the crowding of the new era. of prosperity
frrm. the moment he took hia salt in his new
oflce.
DuringAugust. . September October and
November there was routed J1.J05 000 in S3
pieces alone. This waa much more
than double the entire ct\nase of teat de-
nominaUcn during alt of 1S3S. yet the demand
for half eagiea was so great that it could not
be supplied , and at one time the rushing
coiser. who was keeping busy all tne dies of
this denomination he had. waa nearly three
wseks bfhud tne orders. The- demand tor
these coins has cow lessened , and tnere are
a few cooling at the mint.
Thu detnoad far half dollars is still more
than the mint can supply. During the three
months from Aagunt 1. the coinage of thin
denomination was $257,000. They are still
beuig coicod rapidly , and go out as fast as
they are made m.imly to the subtreasury
During 1326 the co.cage of 10-cent pieces wia
JS9.750. During me three mentis mentioned
it was J70-000 , or 700,000 pieces , aad the
public wanted more. The taie of the quarters
is a similar one.
Tha total amount of silver coin given out
ai the mint in ershauge for gold during the
four months succeeding August 1. was $540.-
000. which is ordinarily the esch .age far a
year , according ta Superintendent Leich. who
sees therein another evidence of tie greater
prosperity that taa come with the waning
of ihe year.
