A well-known United States detective
was riding in street car, when we'll
dressed pickpocket entered Judging
from the detectives careless manner and
genteel appearance that he was pigeon
worth plucking, he seated himself beside
the little man, and in a very dextrous
manner commenced lingering his vest

soft hand Of the thief, and shaking it cor
daily, said my dear friend, how do
you do2 I'm very sorry, but you will
have to go to the other side Of the car,

OF Richiand. died on the 9Gth July, of puorpe-

She had been for several years member

were willing to die, replied: Oh, yes, if it is
