Jasper County Democrat, Volume 1, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 March 1899 — Pucker Picking in London. [ARTICLE]

Pucker Picking in London.

FUcket packing is an occupation that admits of a vast display of ingenuity. While disclaiming any particular merit for that country, says a London paper, it is an indisputable fact that again England is in the van of all nations in that her pickpockets hold their own against all foreign competition. In London alone over 100.000 men, women and children gain their daily bread entirely by this unscrupulous mode of ■ring.
