WAYS OF PICKPOCKETS.

“Lew Grade Dips’* Work In Pair*— Soma of the Trick*. Ajs a' usual thing pickpockets vary their methods to suit circumstances. Only the lower grade dips work In pairs These are the men who operate on street cars, elevated station platforms and similar places where they will find crowds of pushing people and have opportunity to escape' If detected,, 1

One of the pair shoulders a victim roughly while the other does the work and intake's a getaway. Arrests are frequent, but convictions rare, because the man captured seldom has the loot .

The higher grade dips also work In such places. The difference, according to the Bohemian, is that they work in ’groups and choose times when prosperous passengers will be ,In the majority. During the fashionable shopping hours and after the theatre at night are considered harvest times.

Last winter three dips worked a clever method In Chicago. Garbing themselves in evening clothes they mingled? in fashionable crowds in big cases, theatre exits and railway stations. One of the party was always hopelessly drunk and the others, apparently acting the part of Samari.tans, were hard put trying to keep him on his feet

With all their care, however, he would stumble occasionally and fall into groups"of ladles and gentlemen. Invariably the sober companions had apologized and taken the charge away before any one discovered the loss of valuables.

The Most Absent-Minded Ever.

At a dinner-party Dr. Woohrow Wilson of Princeton was describing the absent-mindedness of a certain mathematician. “This man," he said, “Is so absentminded that once he walked along for a quarter of a mile In the gutter instead of on the sidewalk. He would haye kept dn in the gutter Indfefinitely had not the polished back of a brougham, that was drawn up before • shop, brought him to a halt. ."The mathematician stopped within a foot of the brougham. He looked at the black, smooth, lustrous surface before him, and it suggested to his mind a black-board. Accordingly he drew a piece of chalk from his pocket and began to work out an abstruse problem. ( “On and on he worked, covering the carriage with figures, until finally It started on. Still working, the mathematician followed it; he held on to the body with his left hand, and not until the pace became too quick for him did he realize that something was wrong. Then he sighed, looked about him and in a dazed way, pocketed hiß chalk, and started homeward/’

Domestic Nomenclature.

A servant-girl whose name is Nora has recently given her employer notice that she will Quit his service because the family persists in calling her Bridget against her repeated protest Nora’ls right, says a writer In the Boston Herald. "The humblest person Is entitled to be addressed by Me or her own name, unless by mutea! agreement to the contrary.” This story from "Les Miserables” aptly shows the- other side of the shield. One day a proud cook presented herself to a gentleman for employment . > "What wages do you expect a month?” “Thirty francs.” "What your name?” "Olympic.” "I will give you forty and call you Nico'ette.” That settled things satisfactorily to all concerned. .

LECTURE REPORTED BY H. S. STUDENTS

1 . —— * Commercial Students Take Down Lecture of Dr. Bancroft On the > Assassination of Lincoln. , >

Dr, T. D. Bancroft, 76 /ears-of age and a cultured gentleman, was an' eye witness of tlie assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, which occurred fifty years ago. Dr. Bancroft last Friday delivered his lecture on “The Worlds Greatest Tragedy” to pupils of the high school and the intermediate grades at the high school auditorium and Prof. C. A. Tindall had his commercial class in shorthand take down the lecture: Their work on the whole was ‘very commendable and from the reports afterward typewritten Prof. Tindall ■ briefed the following report of the lecture: Dr. Bancroft began his lecture by giving a vivid description of Ford’s theatre, Washington, D, C., as it appeared on the night that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. He explained that the entrance of the theatre was at the rear and that the stairs leading to the gallery were against the rear wall. Also, at the rear of the theatre there was a door which opened directly into a saloon. The boxes were well to the front of the theatre and nearlyabove the stage. On this particular night the, left upper box was decorated with flags as Abraham Lincoln was going to attend the theatre that night. The war was over and everyone was proud of Abraham Lincoln, the man who had won the war for the north. Everyone was anxious to see him. The theatre was crowded as it had been advertised that the president would attend the performance that night. Mo-re people attended t<> see Lincoln than to see the show.

Mr.- Bancroft explained that he had a seat juSt outside the box opposite the president’s box. He was in a position to see everything as it happened. When it was time for the performance to begin, the president was not there. Two ex- ■ tra pieces of music were played. Finally the curtain Was raised and the first act was begun. More of the people were watching for Mr. Lincoln to appear than the show. The first act was finished and the second begun, Lincoln still absent. During this act the whole house cheered for the president when he appealed. The cry was “Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Lincoln.” The president came through the entrance followed by Mrs. Lincoln, then Miss Harris and finally by Mr. Bathbourne. Lincoln still leading, this train crowded its way up the stairs, along the side of the gallery until it reached the box. Then they seated themselves, Mr. Lincoln ir. the center of the group. For several.years there had been a man in Washington by the name of J. Wilkes Booth. He had formerly been an actor and had been successful. He had taken to drink and had since been a very disreputable character. At most any time of the day or night.he could be found in some part of the city, either drinking or drunken. On this particular night J. Wilkes Booth was not intoxicated. He might have been seen leading a horse, saddled and bridled, to an alley at the side of Ford’s theatre. He hired a boy to hold his horse near the stage entranec on the alley. Then Booth came into the theatre through the front door and upon entering the theatre walked into- the saloon. He soon left and ascended the steps to the gallery. He crowded his way to the front box. He quickly and quietly opened the door to the president's box and stepped inside. With him he carried a sort of cane, which he immediately fitted into a holfe which had been carved into the floor. This securely locked the door from the outside. Booth drew his pistol and advancing toward the president shot him in the back of the head. Immediately Mr. Bathbourne grappled with Booth and was cut by a dagger which the lab ter carried. Booth then jumped to the stage and, in alighting,' he sprained his ankle. He jumped up an<b~ crossed the stage irf long strides, brandishing the knife over his head. Then he turned and ran for the stage dopr, jumped into the alley, mounted his horse and rode away. Immediately it was known in the theatre that the president had been shot and that J. Wilkels Booth was the man who had shot him. IJir-rt came the task of getting Mr. Lincoln out of the theatre. Mr. Bancroft was instrumental in holding back the crowds until this was accomplished. He was removed to a room across the street. The crowd remained outside all night. After several hours a man announced that Mr. Lincoln was no better. Some time later he notified fyh<T Crowd that the president was sinking, ands at 7:20 a. m. that, he was dead.

The city of Washington w*as in deep mourning. Everyone was sorrowful. A division of the army in Washington at the time was given the tis kof finding Booth. For a week tne search was continued, with no success. Finally he was located in a barn across the Potomac river. He w*as ordered to surrender and upon his failure to do so was shot.’ He lived for a few moments. His body Was then carried to Washington. . Mr. Bancroft explained that It
