In a certain town in this state, not
much over a hundred miles from this
city. there lives a grocer who feels
within his inmost heart that ne pos
sesses the ability to become a detec-
tive and to place Sherlock Holmes,
Monsieur Lecoq. Ike Seidman and all
the other crime e-detectors and dcduc-
tive reasoners so far in the back
ground OF the picture that they will
appear like dim shadows when COM
pared with him.
This grocer got the idea into his
head that Scranton was the proper
place for him to begin his career as
a criminal hunter and he accordingly
cleared off a place al the dinner table
on Tuesday and penned the following
application for position, which was
received by superintendent of Police
Robling in his yesterday mornings S
mail.

For stained fingers try the follow

Moisten dry starch with glyeerine
two parts starch to one of glycerine,
and rub upon stained fingers. The
result is magical. Some stains require
frequent applications of the remedy,
but even so it is good to know some
thing which removes the traces of
soil from fingers which have ripped
old dresses apart, scrubbed. stained

A Foreigner Who Was Not Familiar
with Some of Our Ameri-
cnnisms.

An amusing incident occurred on
a downtown 81" station the other
day, which clearly goes to prove that
a foreigner to live peacefully in the
community must learn the meaning
of our Americanisms, says the New
York Herald.
A foreigner slowly walked to the
ticket window, bought a pass for an
uptown train and went out upon the
station platform, thinking to board
the train which had already stopped
and was again about to pull away.
Thinking that the Americans were I'M
doubtedly slow, or that he might
take his time about getting on, he
had not hurried in the matter, and,
consequently, the brakeman slammed
the gate in his face, according to the
custom of those gentlemen.
The foreigner became highly indig-
nant at this, and furious when he saw
the train start, leaving him behind.
81 never saw such beasty treat
ment," he exclaimed. 81 was here in
good time to catch the train and I
can SCb OAs iOuI lpuuCnCC ~ VII
bearable, sir. Stop the train and let
me on"
At this display of temper the men
on the platforms of the cars began
jollying him.
Don't get red-headed, old man." ex-
claimed one.
"Im not getting red-headed and
never shall be, SIR answered the for
eigner, who was now in frenzy of
madness, as he walked along with the
moving train. When he had reached
the end of the station, and the train
still continued without him, he
yelled: stop that trainl" This be-
ing too good an opportunity to lose,
some one shouted from the rear car:
"Sayl don't get mad; just keep your
shirt on"
Utterly exasperated by this last re-
mark the foreigner turned fiercely
around upon the crowd which had
gathered, and exclaimed, in a rage:
"Well, who the devil ever thought of
taking my shirt off?"
