Eva S——, twenty-four years old, a maid employed in Jersey City, was locked up last night in the West Thirtieth Street Police Station, charged with grand larceny. She is alleged to have stolen $160 worth of articles from a Sixth Avenue department-store.
The explanation she gave was that she saw a sign in the store which read: "Customers, please take small packages home."
"Why do you have an apple as your trade-mark?" asked a client of the cash tailor.
"Well, well," replied the man, rubbing his hands, "if it hadn't been for an apple where would the clothing business be today?"
