Stole Pastors Rings.

Afer paying a well-known minister
but fifty cents for performing mar
riage ceremony, a couple from Phila-
delphia stole diamond and sapphire
ring presented to the pastor by the
members Of his church. but by clever
piece OF detective work the parsOn
traced the couple and unaided secured
the ring he priced so highly.
One day while the clergyman was at
the dentists a telephone message was
dispatched to him. telling him there
was couple waiting to be married.
Hurrying home the minister tied the
nuptial knot When the couple were
leaving the groom placed an envelope
on the hall rack. After their departure
the envelope was opened and was found
to contain but fifty cents. The same
afternoon the rings, which had been
placed on the organ in the parlor were
missed. The couple were the only ones
who were in the room and naturally
suspicion rested on them but they had
picion rested upon them, but they had
left no address and the minister was
In a quandary how to follow up the
clue. He was assisted, however, a lit
tie later by receiving a letter from the
father of the young man, asking him
if he had married his son, furnished
the necessary identification.
Going to Philadelphia the pastor
found the couple at home and immedi-
ately accused them Of the theft. At
first they stoutly denied taking the
jewelry, but when pressed hard, finally
produced the rings and the minister
returned home.

Candidate Accommodates.

An amusing incident occurred to
candidate for office one day
this week which for the moment nom
plussed him. For some time one Of his
constituents had been standing on the
sidewalk opposite an Office in which
the candidate was holding a confer
ence.
As he emerged from the doorway he
espied the man in waiting and turning
to his companion, said: "I'll bet that
fellow is after money"
'Forestall him." was the reply. ASK
him to lend you a dime"
Acting on the suggestion the candi-
date approached the man in waiting
and said: Say, old fellow, I'm broke.
Lend me a dime will you? 1 want to
take a car to the Springs"
with pleasure" was the mans re-
ply, as he handed a dime to the solicit
tor. PAY me any time; that's all
right" The candidate accepted the
coin and walked slowly away wonder
ing who had been the winner in the
case, as he had placed himself under
obligations to the man by accepting
the money.
