DON’T TALK OF YOUR ILLS.
People Are More latereated In the P***
'•> ant Side of Ute.
“Every one of us has his and her
own ailments,” writes Edward W. Bob
in The Ladies’ Home Journal, decrying
the unpleasant habit ninny people have
of discussing their bodily ilia “I* is
enough for us all to keep well ourselves.
To be compelled to listen to the ail
ments of others does not make that task
any easier. Besides all thia, these un
, necessary naxreti < a of personal ail
ments are positively 1 injurious to onr
-1 selves Physicians all agree that many
of the slight illnesses, of which some
people make so much, could be cured if
thev would but take their minds from
themselves Too many people work
themselves into illnesses or prevent
themselves from getting well by talking
i about a petty ailment which, if forgot
ten, would right itself
“I will not say that women, more
than men, are prone to this evil, but
i as tbe majority of women have more
leisure than the majority of men they
are more likely to let their minds dwell
upon every little ill that assails them
and talk about it It seems to me that
, one of the most important lessons we
can all learn with the close of the year
is to refrain from inflicting upon other!
what is purely personal to ourselves
Let ns cease this tiresome, this incon
siderate, this unnecessary talk about our
Allmants Cold and hard as it may
seem, the fact is nevertheless true, and
will ever remain so, that the vast ma
jority of people are interested in what
, is pleasant in our lives, but not in what
is unpleasant. Pains and sorrows are
’ elements in our lives which are sacred
and interesting only to ourselves.”
KING OF PICKPOCKETS.”
Death of the Mau Who Filched the Pune
of the Prince of Wales.
Fred IT, king of pickpockets, has just
passed away in London. Like his prede
, cessor, Fred II was well known on the
turf both in England and in France, and
whenever a turfman’s pocketbook was cap
tured by any of his majesty's outposts an
audience with the monarch was all that
was necessary to secure its prompt return
to the lawful owner. People not connect
i ed with the turf were less fortunate.
, The ministers of his majesty performed
gome marvelous tours de force in their
i very profitable profession, but not one of
them had the delicacy of touch and power
of penetration that made the king famous.
One day he made a bet that he would pick
the pocket of the Prince of Wales. The
thing seemed to be absolutely impossible,
, because many of the prince's friends knew
Fred very well and the difficulty of get
' ting close enough to him to capture his
, pocketbook seemed insurmountable. But
it was a simple matter for the king. He
picked the prince’s pocket and won his
bet The ties of royalty are great and
strong. The king returned the pocketbook
' to the prince, and the latter, of course,
1 could not think of prosecuting a king.
He laughed at the joke and complimented
Fred on his skill as a pickpocket
1 A pastime that Fred took special delight
in was filching the watches and pocket
books of magistrates and high officials of
the police, and the stories of his exploits
• in this line are many. He was always
■ dressed in the latest fashion. He had good
! taste in the matter-of clothes and always
avoided everything loud. He was a good
■ looking fellow too.
But kings cannot reign forever, and the
reign of Fred II ended rather ingloiiously.
1 It was ambition that ruined him. He
wanted to perform an exploit in the pocket
picking line that would eclipse all his
previous performances. He determined to
relieve Baron Hirsch of the burden of his
, heavily loaded purse. He approached the
philanthropist in his usual courtly way,
but unfortunately for the king the baron
recognized him immediately.
“My dear Fred,” said he, “you have
' come too late. I have just lost all my
l money on the favorite. Be good enough
to honor me with your attention another
day, and be sure to come before the race. ”
Fred saluted with great dignity and de
parted, and after that began to go down
hill He soon after abdicated and lived a
retired life in a little house in one of the
suburbs of London. His star had set. He
became sad and looked back upon the van
ities of fat pocketbooks. Little by little
he faded and died of a disease which his
i French doctor called “nostalgic du vol,”
or the rust that in his profession follows
rest. .
Just as in the case of the funeral of an
other king of pickpockets many curiosity
I seekers attended the funeral of Fred, and
upon feeling for their money and jewelry
after returning home discovered that they
had, in fact, been at a pickpocket’s fu
neral. Professional fingers had been set
working in honor of the dead. A modern
Dick Turpin, Fred was good natured,
I fond of children and generous with the
money of other people. His bank account
was never overdrawn, and he never had
any hesitation about helping a poor fellow
' out. A .few shillings or a few pounds to
him amounted to nothing. There were
always plenty of available pocketbooks to
call upon whenever he was short.—-New
