There was considerable speculation among the

The History of a Crime.

Gilbert Whiting was the confidential
bookkeeper of the Brooklyn Bank. One
evening he stayed in the bank later than
usual, and wrote busily until 5 o'clock.
At that hour he rose from his desk, and,
saying a pleasant goodnight to the jan
itor, passed out, carrying in his hand a
small valise. The next morning the
officials opened the great safe and found
that 100000 were missing. A note
from Whiting informed them that he
had taken the money, and that he would
return half the amount if they would
guarantee that he would not be prose-
cuted. A detective inserted personal
in the Herald, as directed by the alb
sconder, agreeing to the terms. The
next day the detective was rejoiced to
see Whiting walk boldly up to his resi-
dence, carrying the stuffed travelling
bag. The officer arrested him. Whit
ing offered him the bag, containing all
the lost notes and $4,000 in cash, if
he wouldlet him go, but the minion of the
law was memorable. An examination
OF the bag by the Bank Directors show
ed that it contained S106,250.61 in bills
receivable and S19,051.01 in cash.
There were still $4,000 in cash missing.
Being threatened with imprisonment,
the x-bookkeeperfin finally said that he had
taken lodgings under an assumed name
at cheap Bowery hotel, where the
money might be found. A search of
his room resulted in the discovery of
s2S,756 in greenbacks, loosely tied up
in brown paper in a cheap travelling
bag. Ten thousand dollars were still
unaccounted for, but to all inquiries
Whiting could only reply that the
money was spent. He was locked up
for few days, but was finally released
at the instance of the bank officers.
Since then he has wandered up and down
without regular employment, and the
other day he turned up in st. Louis as
a map-peddler. This is the history of
crime.

"THE SWEET SINGER OF MICHIGAN"
Come all ye good people, listen to me, pray
While speak of fashion and style OF to. day
If you will notice, kind hearts it will beguile
To keep up in fashion and putting on style.
People in this country they think it is the
best; ....
They work hard tor money and lay it out in
dress.
They think of the future with pleasant
smile,
And they lay by no money while putting on
Some of the people will dress up so fine,

time, 'f
viii rob themselves of food, perhaps, all the
while,
Sake of following fashions and putting on
style.

Likewise follow fashions, but not extremes;
Some friends will find it better in future
awhile, ....
To lay by some money while putting on style.

Sad, indeed, would be your friends to hear
your name reviled
Better be truly honest, though putting on
style. $40. .'...
CHORUS TO EACH VERSE.
Leave Off the agony, leave off STYLE
Unless you've got money by you all the while
If you look about you, you'll often have to
smile,
TO see so many poor people putting on style.
