In Boys Attire, Bushes Betray Her

HHICAGO.-Two tiny tears chasing
~ themselves over her freckled
cheeks and timid blush which crept
after them. brought the career of
Jack" Wilson to an ignominious end
the other day in the South Clark street
police station, where she had been
taken by the police as runaway.
The night before Jack" now self
admitted to be Sarah Wilson, 15-year-
old daughter of wealthy St. Joseph
IMo) ranchman, tearfully told of her
attempted personation of boy; how
she had her hair cut short and how
she smoked a pipe, even though 1t
made her sick.
The bluecoats at the station rue
ully admitted that Jack" put it over
on them and but for the tears and
blush they would never have suspect
ed the sex of their little prisoner.
With pipe and tobacco in her trous-
ers pocket, Jack was found at the
Northwestern station. She was taken
to the South Clark street station.
There she calmly pulled out her pipe,
filed it with apparent skill, and light
ed it.
Then while the admiring officers lis
tened she told them of her trip. But
one policeman sneered at her and the
telltale tears and blush betrayed her.
A moment later she was sobbingly ad-
mitting she was a girl.
Blushing as scarlet as did their lit
tie prisoner, the officers turned her
over to the matron. She was sent

planning that the Arabic characters

The purpose of the publication, 1t is

to arouse their interest in the devel-

Train Stops When Monkey Pulls Rope

questioned in person, but no one ad-
mitted responsibility.
The train started ahead and was
rapidly making up lost time, when for
a second time the train stopped, the
engineer again declaring that he had
received a signal to stop the train.
Again the trainmen denied having
sent message along the bellrope and
made round of inquiry among the
passengers.
The trainmen were certain that they
had been hoodooed, and some of them
declared they would leave the train
unless the mysterious spook mate
rialiZations were stopped.
Then when few minutes later the
train was stopped for third time.
trainmen and passengers We're indig-
nant This time they declared that
they would find the culprit whoeven
he might be, and prosecute him as
well. They then began systematic
search all through the train, not spar
ing even those in the Pullman car.
A few minutes later they discovered
the source of all their trouble in a
very unspook-like masquerade. 1t was
a monkey. His monkeyship was CON
tentedly pulling the bellrope, which
hung very close. The animal was the
property of j. f. Pickering of this city,
and he was advised to cage the mon
key, which he did without further de-
lay, and the train moved on.
