BRAVE SHORTY SIMON.
Ninc-yenr-oId Chicago Lad TackIcs
a Hurg1nr.

W hthf-Otu intcuHO buu IuckttN
a burglar.
A little act OF bravery on the part OF a
9-year-old boy may be taken as an index to
one phase OF life down on Judd street, says
the Chicago Post.
Beside one Of the big tenement houses
at SO Judd street is a two-story frame house,
The owners name appears above the door in
yellow letters-J. Simon. 1t seems to be the
only home in the slums. There are two
willow trees before the door, and all has
the appearance Of prosperity. Simon is a
dealer in bags, and collects and sells thou
sands to commission men yearly. Monday
night burglars entered his house. They
knew where to come. for he always keeps
money in the house to. buy from his cus-
toners who gather in his wares. He knows
who these men are who attempted to rob
him, because they live in a neighboring
tenement and in the saloons around the
corner.
Today his wife was making noodles" out
Of ''egks ant -four when the reporter called.
J. Simon was in the alley counting out his
money and his wares. The children were
on the floor. Mrs. Simon called her liege
lord to tell about the attempt to steal their
hard earned shekels. Simon appeared at the
door painting and red in the face from t.
climb to the second story, which his family
occupies, and started in on mis- tale of woe

dot poy did it. Shorty, come to me.
Don't be standing in there behind the stove.
Look at him. He is a good thief catcher,
hey?
"Only 0 years old, and he stopped them.
Caught hold of their legs and when they
pulled away he let them fall down to the
ground. Oh, dot leetle boy he safed me much
money. There is some peoples near by who
steal and rob and don't work, and they want
to get something from me. There is one
devil of a poy who goes and gets some rob-
bers and tells them how to do 1t. He gave
them a rope, and they all went up on the
roof-and tied 1t to the chimney. Then they
dropped on to my house and took off their
shoes and hats and broke through my sky
light. Then when they were stealing my
clothes and copper kettles my leetle poy says
to me: Papa, some robbers is stealing from
us upstairs. | hear them moving
1T was late at night, and l says to the
leetle poy: You go up quick and see, and |
will come He wasn't one bit afraid, and up
he went.
"The robbers heard him and jumped
through the s~kylight, and he caught one of
them by the leg. l told him to hold on until
l could come, but the thief was too strong.
He pulled away, and had to jump down
twenty-five feet to get away. We called the
police, but he got away. We found the hats
and shoes, and know who they belong to.
That devil of a poy told the robbers how to
do it. They can't rob me. Shorty is a good
leetle poy to hear the thieves. Tell the
man about it, Shorty"
But Shorty couldn't be induced to say
much about his escapade. He will hereafter
be known, no doubt, as Shorty the Silent"

When it comes to such a pass that a house
could do twice as much business in a day If
they had time to wait upon everybody-then
times are pretty good. Business is being done
on such a rushing Gale at Hayden's these
days that they can hardly get the doors closed
at night. Their purchase of the New York
Store stock is one of the biggest hits ever
made in dry goods circles; buying it for 33
cents on the dollar, the prices they quote on
page 8 are not much out of the way-that is,
