A New way to Detect a Thief.

The father Of Mr.. Webster, the great
American Statesman, was very humor-
Gus and jocosc parsonage.
As he was once journeying in Massa-
chnsctts, not FAR from his native town, he
stepped late one night at an inn in the
village of--. In the bar-room were
about twenty persons, who called out to
him to discover a horse-thief One Of
the company, il appeared. had awatch
taken from his pocket few minutes be-
fore, and he knew the offender must be in
the room with them. 49,
/" Fasten allthe doors of the room
let no one leave it," said Mr.. Webster.
"and here, landlord, go and bring your
wife's great brass kettle"
Boniface did as commanded. The
great brass kettle was placed in the mid
die of the floor bottom up-as black and
sooty and smoky as the chimney back
I" You don't want hot water nor no.
thing to take off the bristles on the critter,
do you squire 2" said the landlord-the
preparations looking too much like hog
killing.
!" Go to your barn and bring me the
biggest cockrill you've got"
Boniface went to the barn and soon re-
turned with tremendous great rooster,
cackling all the way like mad.
The old rooster was thrown under the
inverted kettle and the lamp blown out.
J" Now. gentleman, Idon't suppose the
thief is in here, but if he is, the rooster
will crow when the offender touches the
bottom of the kettle with his hands,
Walk aroundin circle and thecock will
make known the watch stealer. The in
nocent need not be afraid, you know"
Then company, then to humor him and
carry ont the joke, walked around the
kettle IN tire dark for few minutes.
-" All done. gentlemen %
/" All done," was the cry" where's
your growing ? we heard no cock-a-doo-
die doc Z"
Bring us light
"Now hold up your hands. good
folks"
One held up his hapds after another
I they were of course black, from coming
in contact with the SCOT of the kettle.
"Allup?"
Gallup was the response"
can black?"
"A-n--don't know, here's one fellow
hasn't held up his hands,
'Ah, ha, my old boyl let's take peep
ct yours. paws?''
They were examined and were not
black like those Of the rest Of the compa-
ny.
you'll find your watch concealed
about him; search him!''
And soft proved. This fellow, not be-
ing aware any more than the rest. Of the
trap that was set for the discovery of the
thief, had kept aloof from the kettle, lest
Wnen he touched it the growing of the
rooster should proclaim him as a thief
AS the hands of all the others were
blackened, the whiteness of his own, of
course showed that he dared not touch the
thief.
