ing Parnell'S vigorous manifesto calling

AT This Season of the Year the
Storekeepers Are Annoyed
Greatly.
Christmas shopping seems to be as
brisk this year as it was last. The
large shops have been crowded almost
every day in the last week, and the ex-
tent of the buying does not suggest any
unusual scarcity of money. Most of
the great emporumS find it necessary
i'll the holiday season to double and
SOmetlm mes treble their detective forces.
lit is amateur shoplifting that causes
the most trouble" exclaimed the chief
detective in an extensive establishment.
1--WE know nearly all OF the profess
SIonalS, and can spot them at
the door. but there are a
large number of women VINO come
in here without the slightest intention
of stealing, but who yield TO the temp
taton to pick up little things that hap
pen to please their fancy. They see lots
OF pretty articles scattered about loosely
and apparently unmatched, and almost
unconSciOuSly they commit petty theftS.
Such women, presume, do not realize
that they are stealing, and there are in
stances constantly occurring where
their cOnScienceS compel them to return
the pilfered articles anonymously. Ar
rests, did you say? No; we seldom
cause an arrest to be made. 1t is the
policy of oar firm to avoid scenes and
scandals. When we detect any person
i'll the act of stealing quiet word is
generally all that's necessary to secure
the return of the stolen article, and an
amateur shoplifter' is not likely to re-
peat the offense after having once been
found out"
