~sampies for his friends without ex « BY JOSEPH FULLING FISHMAN. Former Federal Prison Inspector. ' HOSE who wonder at the many | ways of making a liviog would | be astonished beyond measure | at the numerous methods of ac- | quiring one dishonestly. In the | prisons are concentrated thousands of | those gentiemen who live by their wits | and earn their bread by the sweat of | other people’s brows. And. of course, in spite of the fact that thousands of exccllent minds are constantly scheming out methods to| “get by” without work, every now and then some one springs a new’ one. 1 have often been amused at the statistics gathered by penal institutions | concerning the occupations of their in- mates: that is, the occupations which | he prisoners say they follow. The prisons are full of “acfors” who never | were on A stage, of “bricklayers” utterly unacquainted with bricks. except as weapons: of “plumbers” whose knowl- edge of the art was confined to plumb- g the depths of some one’s pocket and | of “steel workers” who should have | spelled it with an “a" | There was “Little Joe” Fineman, alias Joe Hitch. alias Gerald Hitcheock, alias two or three mare, who insisted to the | deputy warden that he was a “minister, sexton and undertaker” and complained 10 the record clerk when he saw in the annual report of the institution that he has been listed only as “sexton.” con- tending that such a designation did not do justice to his versatility. As a matter of fact, Joe was always fomewhat confused as to just where he got his “D. D" degree, and the chances are that he never saw the inside of a .church in his life. He was in reality a *sampier.” For the benefit cf those who 6o not know just what a “sampl frankly. 1 was entirely ignorant of it 1 1 I met Joe—I might explain i it can be h a harsh term. was to live h and back again by approval evervthing he nd then. forgetting that mzed elsewhere. selling the ever he could get nee. if & firm advertised a { books. such as a history of nd agreed to send them out approval.
