CITIZEN AND COP.

The man stepped off a suburban car at
the corner of Seventh and u streets, and
made quite nimbly for the downtown
electric car, says the Washington Post.
Then he executed a quick, halting act in
the middle of the street and dug his left
hand INTO his right-hand inside breast
pocket. He brought out his pocketbook
and overhauled it laboriously. An ex-
preston of gloom o~verspread his erst-
while contented features, and he pulled
out a handkerchief and mopped his fore
head n~ervously. Then he ven through
his pockets in sequence. No go. The
gloom deepened on his face. He nbut-
toned his vest and searched the inside
pockets thereof. No tangible result. He
removed his hat and plowed beneath the
sweat band. Result, failure. Then he
went over his pockets in sequence again,
deliberately and thoroughly. with an ex-
preston of bulldog determination. While
he was. thus engaged the cop standing on
the corner edged over.
Lost it all. hey?" asked the cop.
'Fraid So" replied the citizen, with the
large drops standing out on his fore
head.
where die lose it 2" inquired the cop.
ASK me hard ones said the citizen.
''That's too easy to keep me warm"
He was Still blowing around among his
pockets.
Amount to much?' asked the cop.
Didn't figure it up before starting
replied the citizens. but its was a-plenty,
All right.
Were you bumped up against by any
suspicious looking seezers in a croWd?'
asked the cop.
mot that I remember was the reply.
Looks like you've got 4 pretty slim
show Of getting your money began the
cop.
"Money?" exclaimed the pocket search
ing citizen. Say, can you show me any
atfidavit setting forth the fact that I've
mentioned anything about money!"
Why" said the cop, wasn't it money
that you--'
mot on your club and badge" said the
citizen. Never in a hundred years. It's
a list of things my wife wants me to get
for her down town that's craWled away
from me. If it We're nothing but money |
wouldn't mind it a little bit. l could
mortgage my house and lot u~nbeknOWnst
to her. or hook my ring, or some old
thing. and square myself with her: but
Ill never be able to square myself if I
don't lug home this bunch of things that
she wrote out a list of. Might as we'll not
g home at all. Might as Well write her
a farewell note telling her I've gone to
Baltimore to live. and
AS he was speaking. his right fOrefinger
had wandered to the unusued watch
pocket Of his trousers. The right fore
finger struck against a bit Of paper. This
citizens countenance frightened. He
pulled out the piece of per and broke it
open with the eagerness Of a leading
lady unfolding a property letter.
Live got it." said he to the cop. "She
made it into a wac about the size of a
tWo-cent stamp, and there's let's see
Just % articles written on it that she
wants and must have. And she stuffed it
into a pocket that I never knew l had

The name or identity of the horseman
who ran down two ladies at the corner
of Park avenue and Cherry street on
Saturday evening is still unknown. Chief
White and several of the policemen are
on the hunt, but nave been unable to
locate the right man. This morning
Chief White thought he had a certain
man as being the guilty party, but he de-
MED it most emphatically, and as there
is no real proof against him he was not
arrested. but is being watched. Several
people saw the man on horseback before
and after he struck the ladies, but no
one can describe him, and some claim
now it was a boy who rode the horse.
