Probably he didn't consider pc

seeing that skill and nerve are
more important factors in poker
than luck. 4 Missouri judge

was brought before him charged
with violating the anti.gambllng
statute. The defendants lawyer
proved that the accused had been
guilty Of no more helnous offense
than playing poker with Colonel

NEW Works. WOMAN BURGLAR.

According to the police OF Long Is
land City, burglary is the latest pro-
fession adopted by the gertler sex.
They base their belief upon the case
Of Mary Seaman, with many aliases.
who when arrested on suspicion near
the Thirty-fourth street ferry landing
in Long Island City, was found to have
in her possession big, mature and
experienced Jimmy" such as is used
by the most expert craftsmen. The
Jimmy" was nearly a foot and half
long. 1t bore marks of use. and the
woman could give no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of having it in her posses.
sion. The instrument is large and
heavy enough to break open almost
any door. and showcases could be en-
tered by means Of it almost without
effort In the woman's skirt was
found what the police describe as "a
shoplifter's pocket" bag sewn into
the skirt about eighteen inches long
and foot wide. 1t was in this shop
lifter's pocket" that the jimmy was
concealed. The woman, suspected OF
being professional burglar. or snSAx
thief, was arrested while lettering
near the ferry house. Detectives KEEL
ly and Maginn had noticed that she
carried a basket, and as the crowds
came from the boats edged between
persons and walked by their sides.
When arrested the woman claimed
that she was selling pencils. and a
few Of them were in the big covered
basket. But her replies were so eva
sive and contradictory that the de-
tectives took her to the station house
When the jimmy was found the woman
said she had found it in the stree.
She could not tell where. neither would
she tell where she lived, except by say
ing that she lived in Sixth street, but

probably q dozen, and large interests IN
many more. He possesses one-sixth
interest in the Portland, and draws
$4,000 a month as dividends from his
investment. He is acknowledged to
be one of the best as well as one Of
the most liberal mine owners that the
state has ever seen. Mr.. Stratton is
perfectly blase on the subject of wealth
and he tells his friends that he doesn't
care to take out the amount of ore
possible from his mine. because he
doesn't care to be bothered with look
ing for investments for the surplus;
it is his idea that the money is safer
In the ground than in a bank. This
Is unique reasoning, and does not be-
