President Harrison left trouble be-

Encina Hall is a sort of student

of the strictest rules governing
Encina Hall is that under no cir
cumstanccs shall liquors or cigars
be taken into the building, and
the students were informed that
they would be justified in throwing

Mr.. Harrison, not being Pro

CURED to perform such an act. The
only precaution the thief has to take Is
TO look out that DO policeman or witnese
is around and then he has all the time
necessary 10 pick the pockets OF the
sleeper.
Sometimes, to his great surprise, the
latter will suddenly clutch his wrist and
awake, as by a miracle, and exclaim,
with a funny laugh: you are caught,
my boy; come on to the station house. "
That day he has had the hand luck TO
meet detective, who, not having any
thing else to do, amused himself by
fishing for small fry.
THE TRIO OF WATCH sTEALERs.
If nothing is easier than to rob a
drunkard asleep on a bench, it would
seem 10 everybody that it is absolutely
impossible to take a watch or a pocket
book protected By a tightly-buttOned
coat out OF sober mans pocket.
Nevertheless, this happens quite fire.
Quently.
Ii is we'll understood that the thieves
who do such work are no beginners, but
are regular pIckpockets, and three at
least are required for success.
A quiet and respectable man walks
along the street, his mind deeply alb
sorbed in thought, or in reading his
newspaper, when all az once somebody
runs up against him. His first move
ment is 20 turn around and see who has
done such thing without giving the
least apology. II the fellow laughs in
his face, or shrugs his shoulder, OF
abuses him, anger will overcome him,
and the beginning OF row will be the
result. The preOccupa tiOn will be so
great that he does not take care that
other people will rub up against him or
push him aside. 1t is at this moment
that the partner comes in with a care
fulneSs belonging specially TO the John
Bull Sons" He will unbuttOa his ever
coat and even the coat, II necessary,
aud to take out the pOcketboOk or the
watch will then be an easy thing for
him.
1t will be the one who has unbut-
toned the coat who will take out the
watch or pocket0ook, but in no case
will he keep il. He will pass il to a
third fellow, a quiet witness Of the
game. IL the victim finds out in time
that be has been robbed, and an arrest
follows, the pickpocket brought before
the Judge will vigorously protesthis IN
nocence, and will demand shat he be
searched in order to show that his &C
cuser is wrong. That is why this kind
OF a robbery has to be performed by at
least three men.
The question will come TO anybody,
How is it that watch attached TO a
chain can be taken without a heavy

THERE'S NOTHING SLOW ABOUT FRENCH
CROOKS"
Clever Tricks in ~Hold-Up"-Sov Foopads
PouDca Upon Their Vicdms-Ysi Seldom Hurt
Thsm-They Travel in Couples and Trios.

French crooks have special tricks In
roboing people. In many Of them they
excel We are not speaking OF the
thefts in which blood is shed, or which
may result in the death Of the victim
and bring the authors Of it to the scat
fold, but simply Of the common, petty
theits which do not harm the victims
very much. IL is the method of these
criminals not TO be more brutal than
necessary.
An old offender, on being brought be-
fore the Judge, who asked him why be
had nearly killed the mason whom he
had first robbed, answered: why,
should have crippled that fool II did
not expect that he would come into my
clutches again.
Let US start with the lowest grade and
most inoffensive of all thieves, called IN
French "vol au Doivrier," or "thieyes
of drunkards," who most OF the time
have not enough money TO hire room
for the night, and VINO are stranded on
a bench or some lonesome place outside
OF Paris. They are principally the VIC
tins. The false friend, who promises
10 bring him home, or the tough walt
ing for a good chance 10 do mischief,
will only find few cents, a package OF
tobacco or pipe in his pocket-less
than nothing.
The better prey for them Is the work
ingmaD, who has received his monthly
pay and who mas taken TOO much drink.

hold of the collar of the passer-by, who,
surprised by the slddenness OF the at
tack, will instantly throw himself back
ward. At that moment he will tumble,
for the assailant will have handicapped
one leg by tripping up his victim, and
this forms the main part of the act.
The victim, on feeling that he is los
ing his balance, will move his arm to
try and get on his feet again, instead OF
taking hold of his assaulter's collar
Meanwhile the robber, with his other
hand left free. will quickly pick or pull
the watch with the chain this time.
This operation finished, he will knock
the victim down, or throw him In cor
ner. and run awav.

The balance needs great deal Of
Quickness and determination and is a
method which fails very often, there
fore the one called 1.-The little chair" is
preferred. Two are required for this
game. The paSser-by is seized by the
collar, the same as 10 the last operation,
and while his cravat is frightened around
mis- neck, be falls aud sits down on the
knee OF the thief As In the last case,
he will lose his balance, and will not be
able TO use mis- arms; his pockets will
then be easily visited The remedy in
these two cases is, as soon as you feel
yourself assaulted, not TO fight, but TO
kick your aggressor'S legs.
THE "CoUP DE PANTE."

surest of all, especially when there are
two TO accomplish it's the one called
coup de pante," a method Of doing

rough people TO rob those who are not

his arms around his body, will encircle

The poor fellow win naturally not be
able to move, and the partner will have
all the time necessary TO rob him. Only
this act, as well as the one before, has
this disadvantage: that after the opera
tioa is over the victim will be able to
C Ill for help, and even run after the
thieves, and perhaps have them ar
rested.
The question presented itself then to
fud possible way of plundering peo-
pie without bloodshed, vet to render
them unconscious enough for them to
remain several minutes before being
able to recover the use OF the voice or
legs. This has been found and called
''le coup de Pere Francois" or "old
Father Ffancis'S case"
The crook coming from behind will
pass handkerchief around his victims
neck, and, turning quickly around will
make him lose his balance and fall upon
his back. The handkerchief will
straDgle the poor fellow, who will not
be able to utter any sound. After a
half minute he will fall to tho ground,
where he will lay, and will be taken
later on by a passer-by for druukard.
When put on his feet again it will be
absolutely impossible for him TO give
any clew about the assault, neither
will he be able to remember the face
