Shadowing a Suspected Man.

The work of shadOwing man is easier
than q person who has. never been in the
business would think. You must first
study your man thoroughly, SO you
would know him if you only saw one Of
his boots, and you must do this without
attracting his attention, which is not
always a simple thing to do. A man who
is to be Swallowed is always man who
has reason to suspect that he will be
Swallowed, and consequently he will be on
his guard and very watchful. If the man
is not al experienced criminal one detect
i've ought TO be able to follow him day
and night as eng IS there is any necessity,
but if he is an old hand one man cannot
do the work, and can only queer it by
trying it. There should be three or four
shadows. each one ready to take up the
work when for any reason the person who
is following the man deems it prudent
to quit.
You see an old criminal has many de-
vices for finding out if he Is being
watched. He will Jump on car, ride
block and get off. Well. if you have not
got another man ready to take up the trail
then, you will flush your bird. Or he will
get into cab and ride block or two and
get out. We must be prepared for all
that sort of thing. Usually the shadow
will keep ON the other side of the street
from his man, from a half to whole
block behind him. and pay as much at
tention to keeping himself from being
noticed as to watching the other fellow.
1t is work that not one detective in
twenty can do scientifically, although
some men are very expert. l know man
that saw criminal make out an improper
voucher, went with him and saw him get
a check for it, then walked with him to
the bank, saw him cash the check, and
arrested him while he was counting the
money.-Detective in Chicago News.

THE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION.

The publications issued under the auspices
of the "Citizens Association" have attracted
attention TO San Antonio 10 an unprecedented
degree. Especially has its merits as resort
for the health-seeker and winter tourist, been
brought to the front very prominently. The
distribution of these publications has been
widespread, and, as a consequence, this city
had an unusually large number of visitors
and prospective investors last winter. There
are indications that the ensuing winter will
bring us crowds of desirable people. The
Citizens Association feel encourage by the
results thus far accomplished and do not pur-
pose allowing the good work &c cease. Und'r
their direction, a special edition of 25COO copies
lof descriptive pamphlet viii be issued short,
Y, illustrated with prominent buildings aud
places of interest. Special pains are being
taken 10 make the work suggestive and COM
prehensive. A few advertisements will be per
United, and the Association commend their
solicitor TO the advertising public, whenever
he calls upon them for their cards. AS the ex-
pense will be larger than the ordinary funds
of the Association would meet, the insertion
of select advertisements has been deemed
advisable. l.. D. GREGORY,

In a Mexican Market Square.

Passing on through the market place
emerged suddenly from side exit into
the market square. Just in front of me
sat four or five groups surrounding
bunch Of smoking faggots. and as | ap
preached them little girl or boy would
step forward and offer for sale strings of
glass beads or baskets of images made by
Indians from clay. bought several of
these images and narrowly escaped being
cheated in the process, for the little rogues
who are playing merchants know when
they have stranger to deal with, and,
white, pearly teeth, they will give you
the wrong change if they can.
Just beyond these groupsiI saw other
groups seated about large, square holes,
which had been dug u the ground At
first | could not understand this. but
after awhile found out that they were
engaged in roasting the century plant.
The holes in the ground were apparently
three feet deep and perhaps four feet
across the top. Inside these holes they
had placed half dozen stalks of the plant
Over smoking faggots, and from the
smoldering fire there issued a volume of
smoke and the sound of escaping pulQue.
BY and by Mexican STROBE up, threw
down three cent piece, and without a
word. one of the agile boys jumped into
the hole, chopped off bit Of tie wood
and delivered it to the purchaser, who
went away mtnching on it as though it
was the leg of a chicken. The ice of
the maguey is sweet and intoxicatlLg, and
a great many of the Mexican people are, l
regret to say, slaves of its power.-"R.

c1asses, and in S1ese classes the stXes
were always separated. During my visit
one of the teachers kept constantly with
me as went from class to class, and 1t
seemed to me that the teaching was
largely for the benefit of the visitors rather
than for the scholars. | was offered
the Book of Mormon" and asked TO read
with the pupils in turn as the reading
went around the class. After reading a
chapter young man explained it much
as we Gentiles do in one of our Christian
prayer meetings, and he told us how a
branch of the Israelites came to the
American continent and how the Lord
again appeared upon the earth and chose
his apostles here. He told how the rec
ord of his teachings in America among
the aboriginal tribes was Transcribed upon
the golden plates If the Book of Nor
mon, and how these were found in the
state Of New York. It was interesting as
a romance, but grew tired before he was
through and left.-Salt Lake Letter.
Ia japanese Temple and Bell.
If I were a good Buddhist ! would say
a prayer or two to the Chioin bell, the
largest in Japan, but monster breathing
sweet music that thrills one from head to
foot, and ringing so seldom that the dates
are kept in mind carefully, lest one miss
the great treat. The bell hangs in a
shady little place at the top of a stone
staircase by itself, and is struck from the
outside by a swinging beam that gives
the soft reverberations that do not jar on
the ear, no matter how powerful they are.
When the huge beam is unclaimed and
swung it is generally at the time of the
o'clock mass in the morning, and heavy
sleepers have been unconscious of the
musical booming and missed it all. Others
are Weakened by the strange vibration and
the soft music ringing and pulsating on
the air, and in the half consciousness of
waking it seems like part of some beauti-
full dream. 1t is the greatest pity that
with such a magnificent bell the temple
does not see fit to ring it oftener.
The Chioin is a rich temple, and its
altar one of the most gorgeous in kioto,
mass of carved and gilded ornaments
surrounding massive gilded shrine. o.
casional worshipers come and kneel on
the mats and mutter their prayers, but
most often one finds the only occupant
of the space before the altar is lone old
priest industriously hammering away at
a modern drum shaped like huge round
sleigh bell. From o'clock in the morn
ing until the temple closes at in the
afternoon the thunk, thunk keeps up. A
nice old woman, who must be profes-
sional mender, from the incessant patch
ing and dRrning of blue cotton garments
that she keeps up. takes care of the shoes
while one roams the temple stocking
footed, but she does not offer to mend the
foreign stockings one wears out on matted
and polished wood foors.-Kioto Cor.

Fixing Up the Passes.

When the interstate commerce bill went
into effect, by the way, it was supposed
that free passes would be everywhere
abolished Tie railroad passenger agents
and managers so announced with -four
ish of trumpets. But where a railroad
man wills he still finds way. AS an il.
lCstrarfon. may mention the case of a
friend who applied recently for q pass
over a trunk line to a western CITY,
scarcely expecting to get it. yet being
compelled by his circumstances, andtfeel-
ing that for indirect services long ago
rendered he was entitled - tran2porta-
ton.
lie was told that he could only get q
pass within the llnesof the state in which
the main line Of the system is inoorpo-
rated, or between any two points within
the boundaries Of a single state. Cant
you fix me up for all the states in that
way he asked, except between the sta
tons when you cross the state lines, and
let me pay for that distance TO the con-
ductOr! The man of passes smiled good
naturedly as he said: Yes, might, but
I'll tell you what I'll do know you are
entitled TO the consideration, and Ill Just
engage you in my travelling advertising
corps for couple of days. You shall
have your travelling expenses for ysur
services. Here are the passes" A wink
and pleasant nod accompanied the de-
livery of the bits of paper, which had
meanwhile been filed up, and nay friend
came away wiser and happy.-New York

In a Mormon Sunday School.

1t is easy to see how largely the foreign
element prevails here among the Nor
mons. There were in Utah in 1880 about
1900 foreigners to 100000 natives, and
since then there have been about 10, 900
Mormon immigrants. These immigrants
are chiefly English and Scandinavidns,
and you may see Swedish faces every
