Albany Argus: One Of the numerous
lady visitors to the capitol lost her
pocketbook the other dag in one of the
corridors. 1t was picked up by an
honest New York man, ana he opened
it, before witnesses, to find, if possible,
an address or some sort of identification
to the owner. There were five COM
partments to the book, and in one COM
partment he found tifty-cent piece, in
another quarter, in another "A night
key, in another a sample Of dress
pattern, and in the fifth a one-dollar
bill. There was no evidence as 70 who
it belonged to, but about five minutes
later lady rushed down the corridor
in such mad haste that passers by
thought hydrophbic canine was after
her.
"Have you seen pocketbook lying
around here?" she exclaimed, with
deep anguish, as if she had lost a hus-
band and million dollars besides. The
gentleman who had picked it up handed
it to her. Then she opened it carefully,
keeping a sharp eye on the gentleman
lest he might escape before she had ex-
amined the book to see if the contents
were all there. Satisfied that every
thing WAS all right, she said: "Thanks,
but SIR" she added, ''that is not all the
money have got" as she tapped the
upper part Of her person significantly.
