l would like to say few words about the
thieves of China. Everyone has heard of these
crafty men, and the same class of individuals in
America do not compare with those of the mid

the robber finding that our valuables were hid

RULES Al TO rHx npxss sr,r

TO go back to the question Of when dress
suis should be worn and when 1t should not be
worn II must be observed that there 10 great
deal more freedom in this regard in America
than there is in European countries In many
OF tns theaters abroad man 10 not allowed to
enter certain parts Of the house unless he Is in
full dress. aud the women are compelled to take
Their oonnsts Of This latter IL wise regu-
iauon ana would be great boon IL il could be
pu: into effect in this country, but il 10 doubt
ful whether It IL fair to compel man to wear
certain style Of coat when he goes to the
tneeter. Certainly any such rule would meet
with opposition among rs az an infringement
upon personal liberty. There IL not much
sense In it. for rufian can put himself inside

OF his heels for hours is a familiar
sight to the residents out in that Sec

Chronicle reporter the other night.
Tanning, who is a big, stout, look

the following explanation:
olive years ago, when 1 first came
on this beat" said he, lone cold, rainy
night l found on the corner of Bush
and Octavia streets a ~shivering kitten.
crouching in a doorway, trying vainly
to get warm and dry. The pitiful
means with which it greeted my ap-
proach, made me pick the little thing
up, and, putting it under my coat, l
carried the kitten along with me all
night.
''Since then every night that kitten,
which has grown into a big tomcat, is
waiting for me on that old corner and
remains with me all night long. l
have become Sc used to Tom that I
don't know what l would do without
him, and that he cannot get along
without me was clearly proved when
