BAD HABITS BORN
IN FINDING $1,000
Man Who Picked Up Purse Seven.
teen Years Ago Now Blames
the Loser.

New York, April 14.-To lose $1,000
and then, after seventeen years, to re-
ceive a letter from a finder accusing
him by implication of teaching a hum
BILE person bad habits, all Of which was
preliminary to an offer to return the
empty pocketbook for several dollars
are the experience of Henry Stedeker,
veteran member of the Metropolitan
Turf association. The climax came only
yesterday, and Mr.. Stedeker does not
know whether to be more hurt than
when he lost the money, or offer the
entire affair as an example Of the most
monumental "nerve,o as he describes
it, in history.
Mr.. Stedeker has been bookma ker
in the big ring" for many years, ply
ing that vocation in the days Of Jerome
Park and there the first act of the
comedy, or tragedy, was enacted. AS
he explained it last night:
was on my way to the track one
day in the fall meeting at Jerome Park,
in 1888. / had in my inside packet a
leather pocketbook which contained
$1,000 in 500 and $500 bills, which I
had intended to put in the bank, but
could not because had to run to catch
a train.
t'soon after I seated myself in the
car a man paid me $500 he owed me,
and took out the book to insert the
bills. At that moment friend across
the aisle called my attention to the
death Of a friend, and handed me a
newspaper containing the information
Iftook the paper and laid the pocket
book IN my lap. / was reading the
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-04-14

account Of the death when we reached
the park, and in the hurry and excite
ment forgot the book, jumped up and,
of course, it rolled to the car floor.
,"That was the last ever heard of
it until today, when I received this
letter, altho the police and private de-
tectives worked on the case, and I Of
fered reward OF half the total sum
for it's return.''
Mr.. Stedeker at this point exhibited
a letter written on cheap cream-colored
note paper ornamented with flowers and
figures. The writing was OF the Ger
man type, and the writer was evidently
unfamiliar with English spelling as well
as grammar. 1t was as follows:
. Mr.. Stedeker: NANNY, nanny

but when thought OF your business

* Karl Widhassets,
General Post Office New York City,
E'Of course [ have not got over
grieving for the loss Of that money!"
continued Mr.. Stedeker, Hbut when
that fellow blames me indirectly for
teaching him bad habits by losing the
money, / think it is carrying things
too. tar. I hope, tho, he did acquire
taste for champagne and high life.
It would only serve him right. But if
he will bring that pocketbook back to
