Edwin Cowles, long editor of the Cleveland Leader, numbered among his accomplishments (lint of pocket picking. Os course he picked pock ets as an amateur only, but it is doubtful whether there ever was a professional who could play the light fingered game more skillfully than the able editor did occasional ly for fun. It was during the administration of a mayor who had been elected as a protege of M. A. Hanna, who was then starting in Cleveland upon the political career which gave him na tional prominence, that the Leader began a crusade against vice. Arti cles were published daily in which it was asserted that the city was full of thieves, gamblers and other crooks, and thelnavor was taken se verely to task for not having them driven away. Hanna, being the power behind the municipal thron*. -came in for censure in an indirect way, and, meeting Cowles in the street one day, he expostulated with him concerning the Leader's style of warfare. “Look* here, Cowles,” lie said, “what's the use of all this racket? You’re making a mountain out of a molehill. There are no more crooks in town than there have been right along, and it would be foolish to ex pect any mayor to drive all the law breakers out, no matter how hard he tried dr. hour good his intentions might be.” Cowles insisted that liis paper was right, and lie-expressed the be lief that there were then more pick pockets in Cleveland than had ever before infested that city. “Pickpockets!” snorted Hanna. “1 don’t believe there’s a pickpocket in the town. And,' anyway, 1 have no sympathy for anybody whose pockets are picked. No one but a jay could ever he robbed in that way.” “You don’t know,” said Cowles, “how skillful some of these light fingered fellows become. It would be possible for one of them to go through your pockets while talking io you as I am now .” Hanna laughed derisively and said any pickpocket that ever got a hand in hie clothes without being caught at it was welcome to any thing he could extract. As they were parting Cowles turned to ask what time it wsta, and Hanna felt for his watch. It was gone. “That’s strange,” he said. “I guess .1 must have forgotten when I dressed this morning to put it in my pocket.” “Speaking of forgetting things,” Cowles answered, “I forgot my wal let'when I left home. Could you lend me $10?,” Hanna felt for his mosey, but found none. He put his handi into one empty pocket after another and was beginning to look iheepith when Cowles handed him hack his watch, his money, his key* and a bundle of letters. “Very well, Cowles,” said the fu ture senator; "I’ll see what can he done about driving the pickpockets away.”—Chicago Record-Herald. Gibraltar. Gibraltar is the only place in Flu rope where monkeys live wild. But apart from the' monkey* Gibraltar has wonderful attraction*, as ia her fossils and her great stalactite cav erns, opening into recesses «*f the rocks a thousand feet above the a**. One of these caverns is over 200 feet long and severity feet high, and as the stalactite pillars extend from floor to ceiling the effect reseiahle the interior of a cathedral. The name of the rock has undergone a change since that distant day in 711 when Tarik, the Moor, first built his castle on it in order to he gin the conquest of Spain. It was then Gehel el Tarik (the rock of Tarika). But the change to Gibral tar is not serious if one pronounces the Moorish name quickly.—Chica go News. A Roumanian Custom.

Kegan Paul in his reininis- j eences speaks in one case of his | bishop as "an astute and insincere: man,” giving this instance of his in sincerity : At a meeting of the cler gy at < I,apham bis chaplain told bin that old l)r Blank, who had been many years in the diocese, was | vexed at having been forgotten, i i “Yes,” said the bishop, “I have no!

He was pointed out, and the bishop j made his wav to him. “Mv dear Dr Blank, I have not had a moment for real conversation with you. 1 need met ask you how you arc after all j these rears. Do you still ride voni gray mare?” “Yes, my lord, llov ! good of you to remember her!” etc The chaplain, who was within ear shot, said when lie again came near the bishop, “Then you did remem her Dr. Blank afler all?” “Not j bit of it.” said the bishop. “1 sic I the grav hairs on his coat, and I | chaueed the sex.” L«ed> Pottsry.
