A Hartford Connecticut, paper tells the
following. 1t shows "how some things can
be done - u.r
A queer case was that of a physician OF
this city, Dr., who on going to the
opera with friend, was cautioned at the
ticket Office, in New York, to look out for
pick-pockets. He clapped his hand tohis
watch, valuable gold one. engraved with
his name and the name Of the society or
friend who gave it to him. 1t was there
all right, and he made sure of keeping it
there by keeping his hand on it through
the performance of the opera. On coming
out what was his astonishment to find his
watch gone. 1t had been taken in spite
of his watchfulness. Refiecting that a
watch so engraved could not well be dis
posed of even in New York, he advertised
his loss in the next mornings papers, and
added that a reward (Sl00) would be paid
for its recovery, and no questions asked.
Before noon the bell rang, and very elc-
gantly dressed man, in appearance per-
feet gentleman, inquired for the advertiser
of lost watch. @-'sal h,9"t
..Havc you got it?" asked the doctor,
quietly. ' 9ta
II have" coolly replied the stranger ;
..hcrc it is, claim the reward" -
ssHere is the money" said the Doctor,
land now 1 want to ask"
.Oh, but you said there would be nc
questions asked, answered moustache.
. ..True," said the Doctor" but l only
want to know how under Heaven you got
that watch when l kept my hand on it all
the time!''
"Are you sure you kept your hand over
it all the time?"
ayes positive"
"Now. let me refresh your memory
Don't you remember, at one interesting
stage of the performance, there was a fly
lit on your ear. and you raised your hand
to brush it off
"Yes, it is fact" said the Doctor, 81
do remember that"
"Wcn. sir,' said the elegant stranger,
.'that was the time you lost your watch.
1 tickled the top of your ear with straw,
and you brushed off the supposed fly, and
didn't notice when your hand went back
that your watch was no longer there
Good morning SIR
