to have made no mistakes, She

sees u man or woman who acts sus'

The Ker Needed Cleaning.

Not very long ago a large manu-
facturer telegraphed to a New York
shoemaker, requesting that man be
sent at once to his place of business, o
town about fifty miles from the city.
Upon reaching his destination the
expert, with his kit of tools, repaired
to the establishment, and was informed
that the vault, an old-fashioned affair,
which locked with key and which
contained the safe and books of the
concern, could not be opened.
The man examined the lock and then
the key, opened his kit, took out bit
of wire and began to dig mass Of dirt,
dust, and lint out OF the key. Then he
inserted it in the lock, and while the
proprietor with a sickly smile looked
on, turned the implement and opened
the door.

made an attempt to get away. Mr..
Manley being an old man, directed
his course to an empty cotton house
which was near by for refuge. just
as he was entering the house the frog
seized his coat tail, leaving him al
most breathless and with nothing but
the shoulders and sleeves Of his coat.
A few minutes later Monroe came
near the house where Mr., Manley
had taken refuge, and, seeing the
frog tusslng with the fragments of
the coat, and fearing that 1t had de-
vourcd his father and brother, made
a determined attack on the creature,
but was forced to retreat after being
badly hurt.

Measure of Value.

An old Confederate army chaplain,
Rev. J. H. McNeilly, tells story
which he thinks may be especially APP
preciated in these times of financial
stringency. In January, 1864, he was
in camp at Dalton, Georgia. He had
just been paid off in deprecated Con-
federate currency, and much of it was
in one-dollar bills-red- pieces
of paper six OF eight inches long and
about three inches wide.

SHE LIKES CATCHING THIEVES.
A Woman Detective Who Watches FOL

A Woman Detective Who Watches for
shOpIIfters in Broadway Store.
While the recent success Of Miss
Alexander capturing shoplifters has
been widely advertised, it is not re-
markable, and doubtless would not
have become known to the public If
the methods employed in the larger
retail stores had obtained in the store
where she does her clever work, says
the New York Sun. A dozen detec-
lions a day is the average record in
one of the big retail establishments
on Sixth avenue. Few arrests are
made, because the offenders in the
majority of instances are not pro-
fessional shoplifters, but amateurs,
who steal articles Of small value to
keep them for personal use.
The fact that Miss Alexander fol-
lows an occupation new to women,
and is employed in a store where the
majority of shoplifters are sent to
court, combine to make her work in
teresting and known to the public

did this for fun, and was invariably

adopted the suggestion, obtaining
employment in a well-knOwn private

she worked for three years. She did
all sorts of work where woman's

evidence against blackmailers and

says that she was sworn to secrecy.
