EUROPEAN PICKPOCKETS ARE OF
THE CLEVEREST.
American Travelers Seemingly Their
Especial Prey—Experience of
One Victim in an Old-
World Capital.
Imm
W-
"The American who travels in Eu-
rope and does not keep the closest
watch on his valuables is almost sure
to be relieved of his personal belong-
ings by pickpockets," said W. E. Mig-
hell, vice-president of the San Fran-
cisco chamber of commerce, who has
- just finished a two-year tour of the
world.
■ "The light-fingered gentry are active
everywhere from London to Cairo, but
f I will give the palm for baldness and
dexterity to the professionals of Italy,
where the plunder of pockets has
been reduced to a fine art. I am a
careful man and did not need to read
the constant warnings against pick-
pockets, and yet in the great plaza of
Venice I was robbed last summer of
my letter of credit for $10,000. There
: was an enormous crowd that had
turned out to hear the band play, the
day being Sunday, and I was jostled
two or three times by a huge fellow
with a black mustache. Finally see-
ing that he was doing it purposely I
lost my temper and addressed a hot
remark to him, at which he exclaimed:
'Pardon, monsieur,' dropped his um-
brella at my feet, and in stooping to
get it managed in some way to get
my letter of credit, although it was in
an inside pocket. It caused me a lot
of trouble, the sending of many cable-
. grams and some money, but I man-
aged to have the payment stopped and
the thief profited nothing.
"In Rome last Christmas day I went
out for a ride in the suburbs to see
Bome rare paintings in an old church.
Wishing to see the country I took a
street car that was densely packed.
The air was pretty crisp and I wore
an overcoat closely buttoned. How on
earth the rascal managed to get my
watch and make away with it will
puzzle me tc? my life's end, but he did
the trick, as I found on getting off the
ear.
"Had it been only an ordinary time-
piece I would never have said a word
of the loss, but it was an unusually
fine watch and I valued it much more
than the $300 it cost. The manager of
the hotel, whom I consulted, advised
me against reporting the theft. He
said that the local pickpockets op-
erated in gangs, and that within an
hour after being taken the watch was
probably in some other city. This did
oot sound well to me, so I hunted up
the United States resident consul and
narrated my story to him. He gave
me precisely the same advice as the
hotel man. Still unpersuaded I called
an the chief of police. That official
was polite, but he wanted me to de-
posit the $100 reward I was willing to
pay. 1 saw no advantage in this and
told him I'd think It over.
"That evening the hotel manager
told me of an American who had been
recently robbed of $1,000 and who
had put up $200 In advance with the
police and who was still waiting for
the recovery of his money. He had
made up his mind that he'd like to
get back his $200, but the Roman po-
lice refused, saying they must have
time."
The Difficulty.
Mrs. Watson, a woman whose pre-
tensions to beauty nature flatly re-
fused to assist In any way, saw in a
shop-window a bonnet, the sort of
thing that a modiste in town calls a
"creation," just a knotting of velvet, a
fold of lace and pink roses, but a
snare for feminine vanity because It
looked so simple and easy to wear.
She hurried in, examined it closely,
inquired the price, and at last tried
it on. Then, after a few moments of
disappointed staring, she took it off
again.
"1 don't think I'll have it, after all,
Miss Demmon," she said. "What do
yon suppose is the matter with the
thing? I'm sure it looked ever so
much prettier in the window."
"But, my dear madam," answered
the milliner, with quick conviction,
"yon must remember that you have
your face to contend with now!"-*
Youth's Companion.
Accounted For.
Henry Farman, the aviator, in his
American visit, seemed as much im-
pressed with diminutive proportions
of some of New York's flats as
with the height of her skyscrapers
or the immensity of her hotel bills.
"I visited a Brooklyn aeronautical
• experimenter the other inght," said
Mr. Farman to a reporter, "and his
flat was the smallest I've seen yet. It
showed me the point of a joke that
I once heard an American make. I
laughed then at this joke, which I
had heard two years before.
"'Smith of Brooklyn,' I said to my
American friend, 'doesn't strike me as
at all literary, yet he declares he only
feels really comfortable and content
when snugly ensconced In his library.'
" "Well, you see, my companion ex-
plained, 'Smith's bookcase is a fold
Ing bed.'"
And Glad to Do it.
"I may be a drinking man, but I
don't want a saloon run right under
my nose."
"I am astonished to hear you say
so!"
"Now, Helen, you know you are
nothing of the kind."
"Weil, you are always busy putting
the saloons' stock in trade right under
your aose."—Houston Pos*
&JX THE LADY OR THE AUTO.
Expressman—I don't know whether
this comes here. The address is in-
distinct.
Housemaid—I guess it's all right,
it's either a new tire for the auto, or
a new hat for the missus!
BOY KEPT SCRATCHING.
Eczema Lasted 7 Years—Face Was All
Raw—Skin Specialists Failed, But
Cuticura Effected Cure.
""When my little boy was six weeks
eld an eruption broke out on his face.
I took him to a doctor, but his face
kept on getting worse until it got so
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was one crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Then I took him to all the
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we could not get a night's sleep in
months. I got a set of Cuticura Reme-
dies and he felt relieved the first time
I used them. I gave the Cuticura
Remedies a good trial and gradually
the eczema healed all up. He is now
seven years old and I think the trou-
ble will never .return. Mrs. John G.
Klumpp, 80 Niagara St., Newark, N.
J., Oct 17 and 22, 1907."
Tune Kermit Whistled.
' Mr. W. W. Miller, a well-known law-
yer, tells an anecdote of Kermit Roose-
velt, the president's son.
"I was acting as steward," says Mr.
Miller, "in some gymkhana races at
Oyster Bay a few weeks ago, and one
of the events was a race in which the
contestants had ta ride a given dis-
tance to a certain spot where an equal
number of young ladies stood with
pencil, paper and envelope. Each
rider had to dismount here and whis-
tle a tune, the lady writing its name
down on the paper. She then had to
seal it up in the envelope and hand
it to the rider, who remounted and
finished the race, delivering the en-
velope to the judges' stand. The first
one iu with a correct answer won the
event.
"As steward, I was deputized before
the race to write down the name of
the tune each entrant would whistle.
"What are you going to whistle?" I
asked young Kermit.
"I'm going to whistle 'Everybody
Works but Father,'" said the presi-
dent's son.
The Little Girl and the Donkey.
The four-year-old daughter of a
Washington man not long ago saw a
donkey for the first time. She talked
to her father a good deal touching the
unusual sight. It was a "dear donkey,"
it was a "lovely donkey," etc., etc.
Soon the child exhausted her stock of
adjectives.
"And so you liked the donkey, did
you?" asked the fond parent.
"Oh, so much, daddy!" returned the
youngster. "That is, I liked him pret-
ty well. But I didn't like to hear him
clonk."—Lippincott's.
Nuts.
One very great advantage which
ftuts possess over most foods is their
absolute freedom from adulteration.
When you buy nuts, you always know
what you are getting. Of course,
those bought in the shell are also ab-
solutely clean. And what a beautiful
source they come from! How delight-
ful to picture the trees upon which
they grow, on the outermost branches
dancing in the sunbeams.—Good
Health.
EAGER TO WORK
Health Regained by Right Food.
The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation," writes a Mich, lady, "my
stomach and nerves began to give me
much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when indulged, indigestion
followed. Other times I had no appetite
whatever. The food I took did not
nourish me, and I grew weaker than
ever.
"I lost interest in everything, and
wanted to be alone. I had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trifle
would upset me and bring on a vio-
lent headache. Walking across the
room was an effort and prescribed ex-
ercise was out of the question.
"I had seen Grape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what I read, at
the time. At last when it seemed as
if I were literally starving, I began to
eat Grape-Nuts.
"I had not been able to work for
a year, but now after two months on
Grape-Nuts I am eager to be at work
again. My stomach gives me no trou-
ble now, my nerves are steady as
ever, and interest in life and ambition
have came back with the return to
health."

The
General "Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com-
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remarks
able success.
That is one of many reasons. why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine—manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
AFTER THE SHOT.
Robbie Rabbit—Never in all my life
has such shocking language been used
in my presence as that boy has used
in the last three minutes. Oooh!
Rest and Sleep.
Few escape those miseries of win-
ter—a bad cold, a distressing cough.
Many remedies are recommended, but
the one quickest and best of all is
Simmon's Cough Syrup. Soothing and
healing to the lungs and bronchial
passages, it stops the cough at once
and gives you welcome rest and peace-
ful sleep. .
Nothing in It.
.Scott—Yes, the eye is a sure Indi-
cation of temperament. The stony-
eyed man has a hard, cold nature, and
so on.
Mott—Bosh! The jolliest girl I
know has blue eyes, the gentlest has
snappy eyes and my most amiable
friend is cross-eyed.
"It Knocks the Itch."
It may not cure all your ills, but it
does cure one of the worst. It cures
any form of itch ever known—no mat-
ter what It's called, where the sensa-
tion is "itch," it knocks it. Eczema,
ringworms, are cured by one box. It's
guaranteed, and its name is Hunt's
Cure.

Would Risk One More Bottle.
A Frenchman from the provinces
who was paying a prolonged visit to
Paris found his hair was leaving him
at the top of his head, and took his
barber to task about it. "You sold me
two bottles of stuff to make the hair
grow." "It is very strange it won't
grow again," said the modern Figaro;
"I can't understand it." "Look here!"
said the countryman. "I don't mind
drinking another bottle, but this must
be the last!"—Philadelphia Inquirer.
A Household Necessity.
I would almost as soon think of
running my farm without implements
as without Hunt's Lightning Oil. Of
all the liniments I have ever used,
for both man and beast, it is the quick-
est in action and richest in results.
For burns and fresh cuts it is absolute-
ly wonderful. I regard it as a house-
hold necessity. Yours truly,
S. HARRISON,
Kosciusko, Miss.

"He's long wanted to leave the coun-
try," says a Billville exchange, "but he
never could afford the railroad fare,
but just as he had given up all hope
a hurricane came along and gave him
and his house free transportation. It
was providential and he pulled
through at last."—Atlanta Constitu-
