Yet TO Johnny and Benny, our heroes, it
seemed
To be coming too slowly, as both of them
deemed
The time of its coming so awfully long
That they almost grew fearful that some-
thing was wrong.
They counted the days and the nights;
each seemed
To be passing too slowly; and often they
+ dreamed
That Christmas had come, but, awaking,
they found
That the time of rejoicing had not yet
come round.
At last Christmas eve, long wished for,
arrived,
And greatly the hopes of the urchins
revived,
For we'll they knew now that their wait:
ing was DER,
That Christmas was standing cen now at
the door.
Very early that evening they both went
to bed,
After their prayers they had earnestly
said;
Not forgetting to ask the good Lord them
to give
On the morrow good time, that each
might receive
On Christmas, as ever the good custom
was.
A large lot of presents from old Santa
Claus.
For this cause it was that ere they re-
tired,
They hung up their stockings, by fond
hopes inspired.
So large were their stockings that (Se-

THE SAME OLD GAME.
A Stranger In the City swIndled Out of s35
by "A Sharper.

Yesterday about noon Lewis Finch, q
resident Of Concord, Missouri, arrived at
the b. * O. depot, on his way home after a
visit to his children, in Virginia. He had
started with about $50 in money and had
so when he arrived here. While eating
lunch at the depot he was approached by a
man, who called him by name, asked about
several of Mr.. Finch's acquaintance in
Missouri, aud made himself generally
agreeable. Finally the stranger invited
Mr. Finch to walk up street, and the two
started. When near the corner Of Four
teenth and Market streets, the stranger
told Mr.. Finch TO wait outside the Reilly
building while he went up TO get some ma
chinery. In few minutes the stranger
came down stairs and said the man from
whom he bought the machinery was out
and his clerk refused to let him have it
without the money, the bill being S:j5. He
asked Mr.. Finch to loan him the money till
he paid the bill. and then they would go
around to a bank and get check,
calling for 1913, cashed. Mr.. Finch
did not like to loan the money, but finally
agreed to do so, taking the check as secur
ity. The stranger disappeared up the stairs
with the So, telling Mr.. Finch TO wait at
the foot of the stairs for him. Mr. Finch
waited about half an hour, and then told
police officer about the matter and showed
the check The officer recognized the af
fair as the same old swindle, and Mr.. Finch
went TO headquarters, but although on
GERS Carney and Shorts at once started out
to look for the man he described, he was
not found
The check figuring in the case was drawn
on the Bank of Wheeling in favor of Henry
j. Morgan, who Mr.. Finch says is resi-
dent of his town in Missouri, and is signed
Roper Cooper IL Co." 1t is endorsed by
Morgan, and looks all right-only it isn't.
The handwriting on the check is the same
as that on two other checks used in SINH
lar manner, in this city, within few
weeks.
About eight o'clock last evening Officer
Moran arrested man named Webb, and
took him TO the City Hall. There Finch
identified him as a man he had met at the
depot, and who was in company with the
man who robbed him In the prisoners
clothing wero found number OF letters
addressed to George W. Harvey. When
asked by Chief Delbrugge how he came to
have another mans letters, he hesitated,
and then said they belonged TO friend.
