Prayer Book.

Justice 'Bill' Hall was chuckling the
other day over little adventure that befell
him, and which he related as follows:
1T was during the festival week, :" he said,
"and you all know how the downtown
streets were crowded. was walking down
State street, and, happening to'f0ok in one
of the big store windows, saw pile Of books,
which reminded me of commission given
me by my wife that morning. went in and
bought book and put the parcel IN my
overcoat pocket.
"As 1 came out into the crowd on the
street again felt a hand 60 int@Ey pocket,
and turned quickly, but not quickly enough
to catch the would-be thief, tough. looking
young man, who skipped of in the crowd
and was Immediately lost to view. couldn't
help laughing to think how horribly disap-
pointed he would have felt if he had sue
ceeded in his theft, because the parcel in my
pocket contained . common little prayer
book
There's what call ludicrous combine
tion-a thief trying to rob police justice
of prayer book-a combination that prob
ably has never before and never will agpin
arise in the history of Chicago. ChicaGo
