Captain Horace Elliott Chief of
tho Chicago Dotoctivo Force is tho
owner of an unusually fine and valn
ablo fjold waloh which was prcsont
od to him somo yoars ago by a littlo
group of admiriug friondB Tho
votoran thief takor is justly proud
of tho time piece which he oshibils
to all inquirers coupled with tho in
formation that he would about as
soon havo his good right arm cut
off as to lose it Knowing the hard
company into which his business
throws him at times some of Cap
tain Elliotts intimates have volun
teered tho ndvido that ho should
take precaution against tho watch
boing stolon but it has always boon
ignored List wook however a
littlo incident occurred at tho Cen
tral Station as an out come of which
the captain now wears a steol safoty
chain attchod to tho watch passing
through an opening in tho vest lin
ing and then around his nock
Elliott had boon showing tho watch
to a young newspaper man and tho
latter said
Youre stacking up against nil
kinds of tough people captain and
youro liable to loso that watoh one
of these days
Not on your life replied tho
captain confidently Id liko to see
the dip that could touch mo for it
under any ordinary conditions
Well Id be caioful all tho same
if I were in your placo retortod tho
scribe aB ho walked away
Fivo miuutea later Inspector Fitz
patrick had occasion to call Elliott
into his office and the first thing ho
saw was tho head detectives watch
chain swinging loosely from tho vest
button hole
Wheres your watch was tho in
spectors first query
Elliott jammed his left hand into
his watch pockot and sure enough
the timo pioco was gono With
Unshod face ho rushed into thosquad
room to put tho ily ooppora on the
trail and thoro was tho nowpaper
man exhibiting the watoh to tho
orowd and tolling how ho had
touched a sucker for it Elliott
recovered tho treasure and uow
whenever tho young reporter visits
tho station two doteotiros follow
him around to seo that ho doosut

ALECK BADLAJI AS A PIOKrOOKET
The above itom recalls to momory
a few incidents of 20 yoars aud more
ago in which tho renowned politi
cian and Assessor Alexandor Bad
lam of San Francisco was ono of the
principal characters
Among tho Legislative corre
spondents of thoso days at Sacra
mento were a few who havo pro
gressed in the opinion of the world
and havo benefitted their country
and their punes When J P Young
Horaco Hudson Nod Townsond
General John McComb Olough
Townsond Henry Georgo Senator
Paddy Mucphy Frost Dalziell tho
dizzy nugh Barke Oosgravo Mrs
Ballou and othor ladtosj Dolahanty
Marcus D Boruck and a few more
of tho old ilk gathered to gethor in
nows competition or around tho
tablos of tho Impecunious Club with
Paddy Murphy as the President of
tho uewspapor men and Senator
Paul Neumann on behalf of tho
Legislative members it was general
ly acoeptod that the newspapon of
the Statos wore not badly ropro
oouted although they wero almost
unauimous in opposing tho Pearl
Harbor Swindle
Whou Alock Badlam tho thou un
defeated politician of the Republican
party in San Francisco rau up to
Sacramonto its ho frequently did on
lobbyism bound he was over wol
come among tho novvspapor frater
nity although ho could not pass tho
doors of I lie club No lobbyists
woro permitted to ontor thero and
oven Govornors of thn State woro
fiued for infractions of the rulos
Badlam had manly qualities that
endoarod him not only to our pro
fession but to political friends aud
foes alike Overflowing with genial
ity ho pulled nil along with him in
tho suushlup of merriment
ilPlWIJJHii II JPJWIHyyl MaSTF
Perhaps wo even tho most sednlo
lilted him the best whon ho was in
his practical jokiug mood for wo
novor knew what doviltry ho would
bo up to Ono morning ho deter
mined to make a grand coup and en
trusted his secret to a few of us at
the Acsombly desk Ho wan mightily
doft with his fiugors Before tho
hour for tho meeting of tho Assem
bly had arrived he had already
presented to us tho watches of tho
Govomor tho Lieutenant Governor
President of tho Senate and soveral
Sonators and lobbjistc and then
commonced tqjvork in tho Assem
bly By that time wo had in tho
drawors of our desks 17 watches and
scarf pins
Speaker Cowdory was a vory punc
tilious and punctual man and it was
his watch that Alock espepscially
wanted Ho took 21 moro before he
obtained that ono aud as wo had
already arranged tho Assembly clock
to record tho misspent timo be
politely pulling out his own watch
ouquirod of the Speaker tho timo
and tho plot was discovorod Tho
House met 20 minutes lato that day
and tho Senate was equally demoral
ized for tho distribution of tho
stolon property had to be arranged
to tho satisfaction of nil Alock
was forgiven by all oxcopt ouo or
two and some of the most genial of
tho pilfered aro now in tho United
States Congress
Tho Summer sea is over shiuiug
And when it drops a tear
Tis for tho lack of senso of thoso
