RICHES THRUST UPON HIM
Though German Did Not Know 1t, He Had Identified Himself With
 Nefarious Gang.

Not very long ago a German or ganist, who went to St. Petersburg to live, had there an experience with new cap that for a time almost made him believe in the magic of the Teutonic fairy tales.
 The organist bought the cap dur ing his first day at the Russian capi- tai, and wore it the next day when he went out for a~walk. On his re- turn to his lodgings he was amazed to find two gold purses in his pocket, one of which contained a sum equiv- alent to $50.
 The next day, after his usual walk, he found four purses in his outside pocket, a find that caused him to doubt his senses. A third day, with a similar profitable result, sent him to the chief of police to tell his story.
 The authorities detailed a detec- tive to go with the German to the tailor who made the cap. Investi- gation disclosed the fact that it had been constructed of an odd piece of English cloth brought in by stran- ger. From it the tailor had made fifteen identical caps to order. Hav- ing bit left, he had constructed a sixteenth cap, which was the one he sold to the organist.
 The detective then followed the organist through the streets of the city, when the mystery was solved. The cap, it appears, was the emblem of gang of pickpockets working CO., operatively. The one who secured a purse dropped it into the pocket of the first confederate he saw. The cap had identified the German, and he had reaped the reward.
 With this clew it was an easy mat ter for the Russian authorities to catch the whole gang.-Youth's Companion.

A Permanent Cure For
 Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute 1t who have not tried it, yet thousands of ence, assert that there is a permanent cure for chronic constipation. Some testify they were cured for as little as nfty cents, years ago, and that the trouble never came back on them, while others admit they took several bottles before steady cure was brought about
 The remedy referred to is Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. It has been on the market for over quarter of a century and has been popularized on it's merits by one person telling another are women and elderly peopIewfhe ones most persistently constipated-nakes it certain that the claims regarding it as a permanent cure for constipation have not been exaggerated.
