HE PLAYED DETECTIVE

II has not been long since Officer Wolff
Of the West Side, played his first and
last piece of detective work He applied
for a place on the detective force. when it
was known that Bedford Wood was going
to leave the city. Pending the considera-
ton Of his request some shoes were stolen
from the Boston store Mr.. WoItz
thought he had discovered the thief on
the West Side The suspected person had
just such shoes as were described for
the stolen ones and ne admitted that he
got them at the Boston Store. Mr.. Wolff
asked the police department for money 20
buy the shoes, bring them over for identi-
fcation and make a case. He was re-
fused but told he would be allowed any
money he was out If he found the guilty
party. He went back. approached the
man, commented faverably upon ehe
shoes and made a straight offer Of two
dollars for the pair. The man accepted
without suspicion of what was being plan
ned. Exultantly Mr.. Woltz hurried 10 the
Boston Store. and asked Mr.. Walienstein
if such shoes had come from the store.
That is a pair of good $50 shoes"
said Mr. WaIlenstein, bought here day
or two ago by Mr.. -, Of the West
Side. No they were not stolen. We had
pair or two stolen, but not those"
Mr.. - refused to take the shoes
back, having made so cents on the sale.
Mr.. Wolff has gone out Of the detec-
tive business.

Jack Richardson is a character and
patriot, too Jack halls from the Emer-

anywhere than Jack. The other day he
was up in Justice Enoch's office and Of
course was discussing the great naval bat
tie. Another man walked in while the
discussion was pending and catching the
drift of the talk turned TO Jack and
said: Have you ever seen Dewey"
mo sir. only his picture" said Jack.
The stranger pulled off his hat and said:
do you see any resemblance between me
and Admiral Dewey, across the eyes and
forehead?"
Now see here" said Jack. Pm getting
mighty blank tired of these Spanish and
others that are claiming kin with Dewey
and disgracing our navy"
The man happened to step around to-
ward Jack after his remark. and Jack
stepped around behind the judge. Jack
said
THAT fellow was after me and I just
laughed myself out of the trouble. 1
wasn't long getting down those steps"
1t so happened that the man was named
Dewey. II was he who shot revolver
off late one Saturday night a little more
than a week ago and the police took it
