Wnen shoplifter is caught dead to
lights she is asked if she will not ssnay
Tor the articles stolen. This inter
rogatory is merely made in order to
ellclt an admission of guilt from the
thlet. She is then taken to the office
10 await the arrival of an inspector
from police headquarters. If she has
the appearance of a woman of means
she can easily procure bail and thus
escape the pain and detection of a
night in prison.
In speaking of her experience Miss
McNamee says that large percentage
OF shoplItters are women of good fam
lilies and comparatively we'll off in
worldly goods
I'VE have to watch pretty carefully
to catch the professional shoplifter,
she began. You see, they are I'D to
all sorts of chicanery and can easily
hoodwink the salesgirl, who may be
busy with half a dozen customers at
the same time. You would never be-
lieye, to see those women on the street
in all their finery, that they would
steal. Some of the shoplfters are born
thieves. They haunt the dry goods
houses and steal every time they get
a chance. You may not believe it, but
| can tell at first glance the woman
who comes here to steal deliberately.
Her eyes are sure index to her
thoughts, and when you see woman
glancing searchingly about her you
can depend upon it that she means to
steal. Women with an untroubled
conscience do not act in this way.''
There are three detectives in one
store, and still the pilfering of the
firms property goes on from day to
day. There is the woman who carries
off articles in closed umbrella, and
there is the. woman who manages to
convey property to a neatly arranged
receptacle in her underdress lining.
To be on to these tricks the female
detective must be ever on the alert
and nip the thief on the fly. There
are a thousand and one devices per-
formed by shoplifters, but not one is
unknown to the cunning spotter.
Then, again, the female detective Off
ciates as sort of forewoman over the
employees. They are certainly looked
upon as superiors by the girls, yet it
is not known that they ever reported
any inattention on the part of en-
ployees to customers. 1t has been al
ways their policy to prefer charges
only when the evidence is very strong,
for if their claim is not sustained
trouble follows. 1t is claimed that it
has never occurred that the detectives
were in fault in accusing a person of
theft.

buckwheat. and it puzzled me how to
get rid of the straw. Nothing would
eat it, and it was a great bother to
me. AT last l thought of plan.
II stacked my buckwheat straw
nicely and built a high rail fence
around it.
My cattle, of course, concluded
that it was something good, and at
once tore down the fence and began
to eat the straw.
Il drove them away and put up the
fence few times. but the more l
drove them away the more anxious
they became to eat the straw.
After this had been repeated few
times, the cattle determined to eat
the straw, and eat it they did, every
bit of it.

OLD MARRIAGE CEREMONY.

Polynesia is probably the only place
in the world where the marriage
feast takes place without the presence
of the bridegroom. For some unex-
planned reason the young man is "sent
into the bush" when negotiations are
opened with the family of his bride,
and he remains there during the sub
sequent festivities. 1t is only when
the guests have departed and the girl
is left alone with his parents that
messengers are dispatched for him.

DETECTIVES.

I IS gphEN DETECTIVES.
EsABsaainirable female detective sys-
tpfilIisin vogue in a number of the
leading dry goods houses OF this city.
IF has been proved beyond doubt
that the female thief catcher is more
effective in the unwilling of shopllfters
than the most sagacious sleuth IN the
secret service department OF the city
of Boston. Thief catchers like the
veteran Joe Knox, for instance, can
not ply their vocation with any de-
gree of success for any length OF time
in a large and flourishing dry goods
house. This is because of the fact
that their Identities become known to
the dry goods thief after time, and
il goes without saying that the shop
litter will not begin operations until
all danger of discovery from that
quarter has passed away. The pro
fessional shoplifter is as familiar with
the figure of the inspector as she Is
with her own likeness. For this rea-
son uuassuming and unsophlstlcated
maidens are put on the qui vive to
! ferret out willy shoplifters and bring
them to speedy retribution. The girls
assigned to prosecute detective LABOR
l are well adapted for the work mapped
out for them. The superintendent or
1 chief floor walker is pretty certain to
select a girl with accomplishments be-
fitting the detective. If she is lacking
in acuteness and fails to perform her
work satisfactorily another is substl-
4 tuted in her stead and the benighted
i one is given a position in the store.
Nor does the competent detective
depend entirely upon her wits in de-
termining who is d shoplifter and who
4 is not. She is generally reader OF
4 character and is very apt to ascertain
4 bv a study of face whether its owner
& is Il designing person or not, Inc
Il shoplifter often eXcites the suspicion
4 of the spotter the moment she enters
4 the store. There are certain airs OF
4 uneasiness in her department that
9 catch the practiced eye of the young
= sIeuth at once. Women who invade
81 dry goods houses for the purpose OF
= larceny have not the fullest confidence
II in their dexterity to purloin an article
q from the counter without exciting sus
picion. The professional never at
4 tempts theft without first feeling
certain that she is not watched, yet II
4 frequently happens that when she Is
convinced that there is no danger o
Z detection the eyes of the female spot

Dear old Thanksgiving! How the hallowed

How back to life the honored dead it calls,
Whose hoary heads and venerable forms
The bounteous board of old were wont to

And with their children's children share the low
How brothers, sisters all companions dear
VI life's unclouded morn, together flow
From regions wide remote, and young again.
At least in heart, renew the scenes of yore!
This from the crowded city; that froR where
The Pralries naked bosom tempts the plough;
Perchance another, from beyond the flood
Where Mississippi pours his torrent down,
Or from fair Florida beneath whose skies
Magnolias spotleSS open all their charms,
And orange blossoms scent the tranquil air.
But come they whenceso'er, they come to prove
Unlost unweakened, the old love of home.
JOY joy! Thanksgiving, that DER all the land,
