executed here was one Ryland, who
was hanged (sic, for forgery in 1888"
William RyIand was executed on Aug.

Austins conviction. and many poor

Tyburn in the interval, hanging by
wholesale being the rule in those days.

been attended by such disgraceful
scenes that the authorities resolved to
hang criminals henceforth outside New

CHANGED THE TYPES.
The Story of a Venseful Wife and
Bible Error,

In the famous library Of Wolfenbut-
tel, in Hesse, is an old Bible which IS
greatly treasured. 1t appears that in
that passage in Genesis where God
told Eve that Adam shall be her mas
ter and shall rule over her the German
translation is, ''Und er sol! dein herr
seiu." Herr which means master,
does lot occur in this Bible, but instead
there appears the word ''narr,' which
means fool.
The error was caused by quarrel
between the printer and his wife in the
year 1850. The wife was 'vengeful,
and in the silent watches Of the night
she entered the room where her hus-
band had been setting type and mali
ciously changed "herl'" to MARI" The
printer was arrested after the book
had been printed and the mistake dis
covered, but his apprentice testified
that he saw the wife steal into the
composing room and alter the word.
The woman was imprisoned for bias
phemy and died in prison.
Orders We're given that all the copies
of the edition should be destroyed.
This was done, with the exception Of
the one copy in the Wolfenbuttel Ii

woman with no home Of her owp. That
was in the days when women were ex-
pected to be cared for and not so out
into the world to look out for them

Generally speaking, the profits Of
pickpocketing are not worth the risk.
Occasionally thieves make good
haul, as in the case Of the kings gar

great risk is run to secure mans
pocketbook, for instance, only to find
that it is simply filed with cards and

Hard cash is what the pickpocket
likes to secure. For jewelry he can
only get about one-half of what it is
worth from the fence while for watch
