Little Scheners. Yhtsr

Three little cash girls. aged about
y years. employed at McCabc Bros.
dry goods store. were detected TODAY
in neat system of robbing the store.
In every sale a duplicate check i
made, one going to the cashier and
the other to the wrapper. The
scheme was simple indeed and those
are the ones that are often
the most effective. When the
cash girl would receive a check with
the even amount of the purchase.
which did not require any change
made, she would simply leave the
check at the wrapping counter and
not 90 near TIE cashier, Keeping the
entire amount. One little girl con
ceived the idea and in turn informed
the others. All three were. of
course. discharged at once.

was obtained of the extent and COM

were impressed with the per-
lection of the system he has es-
tablished even to the most minute
detail. He has probably as good a
suite of rooms as can be provided in
Fulton, but the quarters, it may be
readily seen, are not only inadequate
in size and convenience but do not
provide the advantages in point of
safety that an order of such proper
tions and importance should have in
its chief offices. The vault is n

d solution of the temporary in
junction now hanging over the So
