Chicago, May 22.-Rat traps instead

ed by Goodrich & Potter, jewellers, to
catch the thieves that have been
stealing hundreds of dollars worth of
diamonds and other articles of value
from the store.
In the course of six weeks many
diamond rings, small watches,
brooches and other valuables have
been missing. Much mystery sur
rounded the thefts, and the clerks be-
gan to look askance at each other.
Private detectives were employed to
assist the Waterman to uncover the
identity of the bold robbers.
Monday night a private Waterman
saw large rat run out from a corner
and take diamond ring between his
teeth and disappear with it. The mvs-
FERROUS robberies had been explained,
and the detectives who had been
watching the clerks since the middle
of April were relieved from further
duty. Workmen tore up the floor over
the place the rat was seen to disap-
pear. and all the articles stolen during
the last six weeks were recovered.

The most trying ordeal that Booker

In the portion Of Virginia where l
lived it was common to use fax as part
OF the clothing for slaves. That part
OF the fax from which our clothing
was made was largely the refuse,
which Of course was the cheapest and
toughest part. l can scarcely imagine
any torture except perhaps the pulling
of tooth that is equal to that caused
by pulling on a new fax shirt for tho
first time. 1t is almost equal to the
feeling that one would experience if he
had dozen or more chestnut burs or a
hundred small pin points in contact
with the flesh. Even to this day l can
recall accurately the tortures that un-
derwent when pulling on one of these
garments. The fact that my flesh was
soft and tender added to the pain. But

shirt or none, and had it been left to
me to choose I should have chosen to
wear no covering.

brother John, who is several years old

most generous acts that ever heard Of
one slave relative doing for another.
On several occasions when was being
forced to wear a new fax shirt he gen.
erously agreed to put it on in my stead
and wear it for several days till it was
broken in Until l had grown to be
quite a youth this single garment was
all that wore.''
