Thieves Tempted by the Carelessness @
Bank Janitor.

Thieves Tempted by the Care1essness of
Bank Janitor.
1t is not very often that thieves are in
vited to rob National Bank. This was
practically the case with the Second
National Bank of Cincinnati, and the Off
GERS are fortunate that the safe and fixtures
were not carried out. About 5 o'clock a
man named Lalley, living on Main, near
Canal, was passing Ninth and Main streets,
when his attention was attracted to two
men standing in the doorway Of the hard
ware store on the opposite corner. just as
he passed one of them said to the other:
- l tell you thedoor is open"
Ialley looked around and noticed that the
two men were looking toward the Second
National Bank, on the opposite corner.
Lalley kept on walking and hunted up a
telephone and notified the Hammond
Police Station. Sergeant King was ON duty
and he hurried TO the scene. AS he neared
the corner two men ran up Main street to
South Court and over Court. Sergeant
King investigated, and almost fell dead
when lie found the iron gates of the small
lobby leading to the bank wide open.
Tnen he tried the bank door. 1t was
open, too. lie then noticed that the light
that was always left burning in front of the
vaults was out. Visions of bank burglars
entered the officers mind. He pulled his
revolver; flashing lantern he entered the
bank and lit the gas. He looked ali around,
but there was no sight of any thieves.
Everything appeared to be all right, and
King then awakened Caspar Lubbell, the
jaDior, who lives on the fourth floor.
He was almost scared 10 death when told
that the bank door was open. He hustled
downstairs and locked up. He then ex-
planned that he had forgotten to lock the
door. He said that the clerks in the bank
had worked until nearly II o'clock. Whl q
they were engaged he tried all the windows,
and then waited for the clerks tn A ftar
they had all gone he went to his home by
the back stairs, and forgot to lock the front
door and the gates.-Cincinnati special to

STEALING RESTAURANT SILVER.
Some Restaurant-Din-r Steal Hardware
and Cutlery.

Some Restaurant Din~rs Steal Hardware
and Cutlery.
1t is said that some men will steal any
thing from hair-pin to q red-hot stove.
That saying may be an eXaggeration as to
the red-hot stove, but it is certain that some
men will steal articles of very trifling value.
To illustrate: A certain popular restaurant
downtown keeps a liberal supply of butter
upon its tables. and its patrons are allowed
to help themselves at pleasure; but there
are no individual butter-plates.
A patron OF the restaurant suggested to
the propgetor that it would be good thing
if he would put number of individual but
ter plates on each table, so that his patrons
could use them if they wanted to DO so.
That would cost me too much money"
was the reply of the proprietor.
Hundreds of men come here every day
who would steal the butter plates. Some
of the people who come in here actually
steal the bread plates, and they frequently
take away tumbers and other pieces of
tableware, and napkins they steal by the
score. Knives, forks and spoons, too, are
taken.
And another trick Of these people,
continued the proprietor, sis to eat 10 or / 5
cents worth, get check and Slip outwith-
out paying. and then they will eat 40 or so
cents worth the next time they came in and
try to get out on paying the small check.
But we generally know the 40 and 80 cent
customers, and when a 15-cent customer
eats to the 50-cent tune we SION size him up.
When we are sure of our man We demand
payment for both checks.
" Do we forbid his coming into the place
again? Oh, no. He knows that he is
marked man and he seldom shows himself
in the restaurant again.
what do We do when a man goes out
without paying? We call him back if pos
sible. Some men when called back will
make great fuss and talk loud about it.
As rule We think that such man intend
ed to beat us, His loud prJtestations give
him away. But when man when called
back utters mild apology we think that his
passing the cashiers desk was merely for
getfulness. AS rule such men tell us that
they are glad we called them back."-N. Y

A CHASTITY FIND.
a Skeleton Discovered in the Hollow
Trunk of an Old Tree.

Skeleton Discovered in the Hollow
Trunk of Old Tree.
a Tushomingo (1ndian Territory CORES
pendent of the Los Angeles Times says:
A strange discovery was made by some
woOd-choppers who were working in the
hills west of this place few weeks ago.
They have brought to this town a skeleton
and the section of a tree to bear evidence OF
the truthfulneSs of their story. They cut
down large oak tree which was partly hol-
low, but the entrance to the followed
portion had almost entirely grown over,
leaving only a narrow slit in the outside of
tree. When the tree fell to the ground 1t
was split open by the shock and there,
lying i'll the center of the broken wood, was
the skeleton OF man. On one ankle of the
skeleton was band of iron attached to a
piece OF chain, evidently from the manacleS
which had been upon his person when he
sought refuge in the hollow tree. From all
indications the skeleton had been entombed
Tor at least 100 years. for the tree had
grown sufficiently to almost cover the OPEN
ing through which lie had cTawled to hide.
Two of the ribs were broken in such
manner as TO lead TO the belief that it was
done with bullet. The suppostion is that
the man had escaped from some prison and
had fed with portion of his manacles, and
being shot and hard pressed had sought
refuge in the tree and there died. AS there
is no record kept of the past criminal his
tory of this nation his identity will ever re-
main mystery. One popularity about the
skeleton is that the tree had grown partly
around one of the legs ana il was solidly
eneased in the wood. This specimen is now
on exhibition at the courthouse here

fellow could be got out of the ROOM What

The next crank had an idea to sell. 1t
was, in substance, to have hole dug in the
ground in froCt of each station on the line
OF the railroad on which the company oper-
ated. This hole was to be just large enough
to permit the express agent to crawl into 1t.
The floor OF the eXpress-car was then to be
lowered to him, he would take out the pack
ages belonging at his station, and the bottom
of the ear would then slide back to its
proper level. The car was to be bomb
proof, and the only way to get into it
would be by the hole-in- the-ground route.
The idea, while net such bad one, was not
| adopted.
Next came a crank with a bomb-proCf
| suit for messengers to wear, in which they
| could defy whole regiment of express rob-
| bers. The 5om5-pro0f man was so logical
| that he was sent over to see Superintendent
| Fuller of the Pacific Express, as had been

Sometimes we get fooled. This is the latest
