BEGAN CRIMINAL CAREER ATI4
ZeliR "Rest Pickpocket In Cosntry''
In short Time.

So
Big Jack zelig. ganGster. gunman and
pickpockst, first began to attract the
attention Of tho police about 1895, when
he was known as . pickpocket. He was
. fourteen-year-old. curly headed East
Side boy in knickerbockers then. and
in q very short time according to act
ing Inspector Faurot, the police came
to know him as the best pickpocket in
the country"
As a boy he often got into trouble
through his liking for exuberant fun.
but many time the complainant who
had caused the boys arrest in a sudden
feeling Of anger at broken window or
some other result of a boyish prank
would weaken when the case got to
court. and the case would be dismissed.
The gangstsr was born In 1882 on Nor
folk street. and his right name was either
William Albert or William Alberts. His
gang name was not fastened to him until
he had abandoned pock picking az his
main support and had taken to "shak-
ing down" and gang leading.
In spite Of all the times he had been
arrested he had never been sent TO
prison for any great length OF time.

Many Omaha people do not care II meat
prices are up or down. because they have
found that Minnesota macaroni and

flavor, take the place of meat very
largely and are more easily digested
Good macaroni and spaghetti are four
times as nutritious as beef-steak. and
they are the best and most nourlshlng
foods known, They can be easily pre-
pared In many appetizing ways and are
suitable for the daintlest luncheon as
