Among these East Indians, by
the way, there's very dignified
parsonage who supplies his daily
wants by making wonderful free
hand embossings on paper, the
thumb nail being bis only lnstru-
ment, writes a Jackson Park cor
respondent of the New York Sun.
His opinion ON what he meets
in America are fearless and fair
and neatly expressed in English
that is scholarly. Some of his
sharp repartees have already
crept into print, The other day,
as he was absorbed in producing
an elaborate design. there came
along a lady who questioned him
in running fire:
"Are you an Indianf"
eyes, madam"
"Dear me! an East Indian, Of
coursei"
"Yes, madam"
"What are you doingr
"Embossing paper"
"With your thumb NALL"
"As You see, madam"
us 1t hard to dol Where did
you learnt How long did it take
yo1i Does everybody in India
knowi Do you draw the design
firsti Is there anything on your
thumb nailr'
The crowd pressed closer, the
lady grew more vOluble and vac
uous. The mans dark face took
on a weary, then Q sinister, ex-
preston, and remarked soto
voce: "Ah! must fire my bomb
but sometimes 1t is necessary.
Madam, I will embOss your
initials on q card for 8 cents.
Please give me the letters. Five
cents is the price. Initials, please
only 5 cents"
There was no answer. The ca
ger lady had slipped back into
the stream of humanity sweeping
by. With her the most persis-
tent, too, of the curious crowd
had melted away. "Ahw sighed
he of the magic thumb nail. $" .
cents is a terrible incarnation.
Five CENTS that's call on,

interest is sincere. Most people
who talk very much disappear
when 1 fire my bomb. Five cents!
Terrible words! Hs!'' The
def twistings of the paper and
thrustings of the thumb had not
been interrupted through all the
little episode, which was ended
by q soft but sardonic laugh, en-
tirely polite and restrained, yet it
oppressed and irritated lik u

ordered to make the run with Foth-
eringhAm and get m idea OF how
things were run. The train pulled
out When near Pacific the man
uoiDted = revolver at the head of the
messenger and ordered him to stop
the train. When The train stopped
the robber. who afterward proved to
be Frank Wittrock, alias Jim Cum
mings,n climbed out Of the car with
$4,000 belonging to the express COM
pany. He was arrested several months
later In Chicago and served . term In
