"H0nurabten Asscctation OF P~ickpOCkets.
All Madrid has been amused at a remark
| able experience which recently hefell Senior
Chucca, the popular composer, in the Span
ish capital. In his latest piece, LA Gran
Via" which has been the chief attraction
at the opera house for some time, the maes-
tro has ~endeavored to immortalize three
pickpockets known as Lies Tres Tatas."
The characters in fact are the chief ones OF
the piece.
While riding recently in one Of the tram
cars of Madrid one Of the ''long fingered
gentry" relieved Chucca Of his pocketbook,
containing his photograph and 800 pesetas.
The composer reported the robbery to the
police, with little hope. however. of regain
ing his property. The incident naturally
was told in the newspapers. T~wcnty-four
hours later tho senior received a package
containing the money and the following
letter:
MOST HoNoREp MAsrER-By mistake one of
our colleagues yesterday stole your pocketbook
and its contents. Through the papers he
learned OF his error. The president of the So
oiety, to whom was intrustcd tho duty of re-
pairing the evil done, honors himself in re-
turning this to you, with the 800 pesetas. In
order to avoid such q mistake in the future We
have retained your photograph, to which We
shall give n prominent place In our council
chamber Never again will tho honorable AS
ISOLATION OF Madrid PickpocSets forget that 1t
was you, honored master, through your oper-
eta, who gave us a respectable and deserving
place in society. With the highest respect,
