A Thief's Dexterlty.

Dora DOnegan, one of tie most
skillful thieves known to the po-
lice, gave an exhibition of her art
at the Harrison street police station,
which gave BailIff Vogel a still
greater opinion of her dexterity.
She had been arrested in pursuance
Of a standing order given By Chief
Brennan to lock her up on sight,
and was arraigned before Justice
Foster. She Was discharg al, as
there was no evidence against her.
Before leaving the court room she
stopped to chat with the balhtt
"You are pretty clever, DJra,''
said VogeI, "but If all men we're as
hard to rob as 1 would be, you'd
have to do something else f.r a
living"
ooh, some day one will fool lOn,
too,' said Dora.
The two stood talking for a few
minutes, and then the woman left
the room. Shortly afterward
Baiif' Vogel found that his dia-
mond scarfpiu was missing. In an
excited manner he called the at
tentIOn of several officers to bis
loss, aud they began to search the
room, as the baiitf thought 1t had
dropped from his scarf to the floor
somewhere. While they were en-
gagged in search the Donpgan wo'
mau approached Vogel and said;
"Have you found your plup
"NO," replied Vogel.
"Wel. here it ls," SAID the wo-
man. "Be careful next time whit n
you Orag about yourself. l just
wanted to show yOn that you
would be an easy mArN," and she
went away laughing.-ChicdgO

Tho Child In the Basket.

The vigilance of an old time customs
official, it may be said, came perhaps
within an ace Of changing the course OF
French history. One day a mother who
had been to q country house near Mar
seilles returned with her son to Mar
seilles. 1t was twilight The child, D
years old, had been put IN a peach bas-
ket borne by donkey, and the mother,
fearing the child might take cold--it
was In November-had covered the boy
with n thick brown shawl Tired with
running around the country all day,
cozy and warm under the thick shawl,
the child was soon asleep and hidden by
the sides Of the basket When the city
gates were neared, the mother, forget
ting all about the child, walked q dis
tance behind the donkey and did not
make him stop at the custom house to
be searched. The customs officer, seeing
the donkey Jog on without stopping
suspected that he was laden with SNUG
gled goods and ran after him to thrust
his sharp steel probe through the bas'
ket Luckily the mother observed him,
ran forward and screamed: Don't use
your probe. My child is in the basket.
The child was Adolphe Thiers. New

A Modern Jonah.

London Culver is responsible for this
unlikely story;
People Of the free thinking class often
dispute the story Of Jonah and the
whale not so much on account OF Its
improbabihty as because It Is In the
Bible. They declare that the whale
never lived that could swallow man,
but such persons should remember that
the word whale" as used in holy writ
referred to any large species Of fish. Not
long since a shark and a sailor In the
Mediterranean sea re-enacted the part OF
Jonah and the whale 10 perfection. The
man fell overheard and instantly disap'
peared In the mouth Of monster shark.
The captain fred gun at the beast from
the deck, and as the shot plowed through
its back 1t cast the man out again, and
he was rescued, perfectly unhurt bal

Suffrage In North Dakota

Judging from the attitude Of two
great political parties in North Dakota,
woman suffrage promises to soon be-
come an issue that will stir up all the
latent enthusiasm which womankind IS
capable of exercising upon so important
a topic. The state constitution provides
that the legislature may at any time
submit this question to the electors, to
be decided by a majority vote, and 1t Is
not unlikely that such action will DO
