CHICAGO, Jan lS-Charles Stewart, a
tough young snsak-thief, invaded board
ing-house at PSI Michigan avenue. He went
upstairs, rsnsacked several rooms, and,
staggering under heavy load of clothing,
was making his way through the lower hall
to the front door, when he was
intercepted by Miss Bessie johnson, the
plucky daughter of the landlady. Bessie
clutched the marauder and in the struggle
which ensueI he dropped half Of his plumber,
but broke away from her and ran across
Peck court Bessie, nothing discouraged,
started in pursuit, with three dining-room
girls following far in the rear. At the cor
ner Of Wabash avenue she overlook the
quarry, who, it must be confessed. was some

possession of the plumber took place. Miss
Bessie forced the thief to drop the remainder
of the clothing, and a benevolent old
man happening along knocked Stew
art down with his cane. He scram-
bled to his feet, however, and resumed his
flight Miss Bessie had recovered tine prop

AT Schenectady, n Y, recently Mrs.
Frank Baker supposed she buried her
husband, Frank Baker. The identity
appeared to be established, the body was
put under the ground, and Mrs. Baker re-
garded herself as widow But she did
not wear weeds long, for Frank Baker
turned up alive and well, and had no
recollection of ever having been buried
A case like this happened in 1881. In
1866 Thomas L. Patterson and Miss Kate
Rice were married in Wilmington, Del,
and all went well with with them for
time. They moved to Baltimore and
Patterson took to drink. Old Mr.. Rice
reproached Patterson with having made
his daughter miserable, and Patterson
went away, promising never to return I'm.
less he could reform his bad habits. Mrs.
Patterson went home to her father in
Wilmington, with her child, little girl.
In year a newspaper account came of
the death Of a man in Eric, Pa, from an
overdose of laudanum. The description
answered Thomas l.. Patterson, who had
the letters T. L, P. picked into his arm
with India ink when a boy. The dead
man at Erie had L. p in In liza ink on his
arm, and scar before the letter /, as if
letter had been scratched out, as was
found when the body was exhumed for
identification. Mrs. Patterson was sats
isfed that the body was that of her hus-
band, and it was placed In her fathers
family vault. Mrs. Patterson lived wild
ow in Wilmington and reared her child
tenderly and with care In 1881 Thomas
/. Patterson returned to Wilmington, re-
formed and prosperous, and claimed his
wife and child. He was recognized as
the right man, and had never heard that
he had been reported and mourned as
dead, and that his supposed body was in
the Rice family vault. To make assur.
ance doubtly sure he showed the 7. L. P.
