Rob Cripples As They
Seek Cure At Shrine
LOURDES, France, Sept. 30. (yP)—
Posted on the walls of the miracu
lous grotto here, journey’s end for
■so many pilgrims from all parts of
the world, there is a placard which
reads: “Look out for your pocket
book.”
Above the heap of crutches aban
doned by the devout in testimony of
cures there is another, and by the
•sacred fountain there is a third.
Faith in the healing powers of the
shrine brings the pilgrim, and faith
in the fatness of the pilgrim’s scrip
has brought the pickpocket and the
con-man.
The best plainclothes men from
Paris, oif duty at Lourdes, have
caught as many as six pickpockets in
a single morning. Often the thieves
are young girls trained by older
adepts, who are mostly old offend
ers fearful of the heavy punishment
dealt out in France to the habitual
criminal.
Lourdes is crowded in the summer
with a great variety of nationalities
and that means a vast variety of
wallets. The ..thoughts of the devout
when they buy candles for the shrine
or gather about the pile of discard
ed crutches are preoccupied and ab
stracted. They do not resent chance
elbowing or jostling nor feel the ‘
hand that slips the wallet from its
resting place.

Seward's Gain with
Advent New Mining
Activity Near Uyak
J. V. Smeaton, head of the Katmai
Gold Mine company, near Uyak, was
a guest at the Seward Chimber of
Commerce Tuesday, stated his com
pany was quietly entering the Alaska
field, investing a little money, from
which it was hoped some returns
would be forthcoming in time. “It
is a game we are all playing, more
or less,” he stated, and to the same
end, and in his particular case, it
appeared to him that he has always
“put in” instead of taking out, but
when it comes to speech-making, re
gardless of the fact that he is a vice
president in one of the large New
Jersey Chamber of Commerces, he
has always proven a good listener
and generally takes away something.
He said he anticipated returning
to Alaska in the spring, on another
trip of inspection to the mine, to
view the progress made during the
winter. Seward is one of the con
necting links with the Westward dis*
trict and he expects his company
will carry on much business with
local merchants. While Outside this
winter, he said he would be glad to
speak a good word for Alaska, at
any time.
