When Mrs. Isabella Bishop, the well • known traveler, was in the United States she had at least one fnnny ex- j perience. She was riding in a car in I Chicago and felt her pocket being pick-1 ed, but said nothing at the moment, j Presently along came the conductor to collect his fares. When he reached Mrs. Bishop she quietly remarked: | “This gentleman,” turning to the thief, “will pay. He has my purse.” He paid, and she got back her purse.
