"We wild them bills for what they

satchel to convince us that wo were mis
taken, when It was found tocontain three

and the riblsm. All theso articles had
been appropriated,"
"That was a plain enso of stealing.
What did you do?
"We took the things buck and said
nothing. We can't ufford to arrest
wealthy people and injure our triulo by
making cm-tub's among our rich cus

You were spcukiiig of sending out
bills for stolen goods; uro they ever paid."
'Always, where the ts-rsou is a klepto

A foolish young fellow lit Albany,

A strange legend come to u from the

those who pluck it once soon drop it, so
strangely cold and clammy or its

shaped blossom, and In tho renter is on

nerstltiou awe. They call it "Custer'
