FISHING FOR DIAMONDS.
A burglars Novel Way of Gettin. ut

A Burglars Novel Way of Gettin:: Mt
the Jewclry.
From the San Francisco Chronicle
The discovery that al, ingenious burglar
was robbing the window of the Columbian
loan office OF diamonds, greenbacks and
coins drew crowd Of 500 people to the
vicinity. and it was with difficulty that the
police cleared away the blockade.
The lower floor of the building No. 0
Grant avenue is occupied by the loan Office
the upper floors being vacant. The burglar
got into the hallway adjoining the pawn
shop. locked the street door and began his
operations by saving out square section
OF the side of the paneling. which forms
the end of the display window.
The hallway runs ih-such way that the
wall en- the right, aaone s4scends, is also
the end board of the display window, a
half-inch panel being the only barrier be-
the window wherein diamonds, greenbacks
and coiLs to the value of $4,000 were on
display.
An unknown pedestrian CHANGED to peep
into the brilliantly lighted display window
about o'clock, whereupon he saw a deft
hand manipulating a long wire with a
hooked end in such IA manner as to fish
the greenbacks and jewelry to the aper-
ture, from which he readily reached them
with his hand. Without tarrying to see
the result of his warning or to give his
name, the stranger who discovered the
operations thrust his head into the door
way and shouted: your store is being rob-
bed" and departed.
The proprietor rushed to, the door, dis
covered what was being done, and blew
police whistle, while his clerks tried to
break through the hall door. but 1t is a
strong structure and was SO well locked
that their assaults thereupon were futile.
1t was nearly ten minutes before the police
got it unlocked. by which time the burglar
had escaped. presumably climbing out of
some upper window and reaching the
street over the roofs of adjoining houses
or by ropes.
A hasty examination of the upper floors
by the police revealed nothing Of import
ance concerning the burglar. who had fold
ed up his fishing pole and silently gone be-
You'd the reach of his pursuers. A hurried
Invoice of the contents of the window
showed that several diamond earrings and
coins had been taken, though most, If not
all, the greenbacks remained. The pro-
prietors thought that 500 would probably
cover their losses. Had the discovery been
made five minutes later the daring burglar
would doubtless have ffshed out several
stacks of greenbacks as well as a bowl of
gold dust and coins.

"Down the rfver!' What boon. what a
blessed privilege, the STORED Potomac" pro-
vides for the city's "shut-ins'' during the
sweltering weather. Not the least of the

river from Washington to the ocean. There

so. and big boats that carry thousand or

two people, and they must sit as snug as

warm summer evenings the liver is full of
crafts of various sizes and capacities, and
motors from the primitive sail to the ex-
quisite little steam launch, with its ap-
pointments like palace, but the favorites,
because of cheapness and commodiousness,
are the big excursion steamers.

Religious Tattooine,.

From the New York World
A man upon whom religion had left its
mark ineffacedly was observed at Ellis
Island recently. He was one Of a number
of French immigrants brought before the
commissioner for examination. He was
tall, handsome young man, a skilled
iron worker Attention was drawn to his
personal appearance by the fact that he
wore his thick hair brushed down over his
forehead to his very eyebrows. When he
was asked by the commissioner the
reason of this extraordinary couture, the
French youth looked embarrassed for q
moment. and then replied that he wore
his hair in this manner to hide mark on
his brow.
What is the MARK" was asked.
He tossed his hair back and exhibited a
sk'ilfuily executed piece of tattooing.
which. on examination, proved to be a
text from the Bible, done in minute but
perfect letters. 1t was in French and
read:
.'Dieu est mon Berger. n'aurais be
soin de rien.' C'The Lord is my shep-
herd, I shall not want.D
He stated that the tattooing was done
at the request of a cranky aunt when he
was twelve-year-old boy.
