Only a few months since the chief of

name need not be mentioned, was
robbed of his watch twice within two
days, and finally the timepiece was
returned to him by the very "ratero"
who had taken it, nor did the Ameri-

thief, whose audacity threw him off
his guard. Why the pickpocket took
the trouble to restore the watch, for
which he was able to realize a

heard the owner talking of the smart
pickpockets in his own country and
the Mexican took such pride in his

When Thomas McGuiness, a we'll
known horseman of Philadelphia,
went to Europe some time ago, he
took a blooded horse with him. The
animal was in specially prepared
stall on deck and enjoyed the trip de-
spite the rough weather. When Mr.
McGuiness thought land should soon
be sighted, he asked the captain how
far the ship was from the Irish coast.
The commander of the steamer, In his
usual gruff manner, replied: Your
horse will tell you; watch him"
The owner of the animal could not
understand what the captain meant,
and he was not particularly pleased
with the answer. Finally, however,
couple of hours before land was OBJ
served, the horse, which was a mag
nificent bay, poked his head through
the grating and, stretching his neck,
whined loudly. There you are," said
the captain to Mr. McGuiness; your
horse smells the land"
The captain, in explaining the odd
occurrence, said that the thorough
bred detected the odor from pasture
lands that was waited far seward,
and that horses on board ocean steam
ers always give the first signal when
land is near.
