When Captain w. +. Weber was a
patrolman a clothing store upon his
beat was robbed one night The thief
had taken of his own old clothes and
left them in the store. He had put on
q new suit and worn 1t away. The old
suit was that of boy about fifteen
years old.
Weber gathered up the clothes and
took them TO the old fire patrol house
at Seventh avenue and Wyandotte
street He put them upon the floor
and, turning the hose on them, drelch-
ed them with water. Then he went
down TO the junction, where at that
time the newsbOys congregated in
great numbers. He gathered a dozen
Of them around him.
Boys" he said, "the police found
some clothes down on the river bank
this morning. 1t looks like boy had
been drowned. / want all Of you to
come up TO the fire station and look at
the clothes, Maybe you can tell me who
they belonged to-"
No sooner had the "newses" gath
cred around the pile OF water soaked
clothes than one little fellow spoke up:
'Them's Nifty Smiths | seen him
wearin' them red galluses, an he sew
ed that patch on the knee there his
self"
Other boys corroborated this story.
In less than an hour the officer had
corralled Nifty and made him confess
to the robbery.-Kansas City Star.

were fastened with ropes which passed
through pulley above. At the other
ends of the ropes were weights, Just

visitor. doesn't it hurt hlm?"

A Robust Ghost,

John Leech and a member of the
Millais family once stayed night at
Cowdray hall, In England, where, many
guests being present, the two friends
had no alternative but to accept rooms
in an isolated wing supposed to be
haunted. In the middle of the night
Mlllais awoke, believing that some
giant was shaking him violently by the
shoulder. This was supposed to be
the favorlte device of the ghost. He
rushed into a corridor and found Leech
sitting there trembling and declaring
that he would not for the world go
back to his room. They spent the re-
mainder Of the night In the corridor,
but in the morning said nothing of
their experiences. In the afternoon
there arrived an evening paper telling
Of a violent earthquake in the locality.
The earthquake was what the two Wis
itors believed to be their ghost.
