are the chief victims of women of this
class. The periodical sales of large diapers
naturally afford good opportunities for wo-
men thieves-many of them, I am sorry to
say, women of social position. In the in
evitable crush 1t is an easy thing to annex
from the counter a costly piece of lace, a
remnant of silk or a few yards Of ribbon,
and there are many women with we'll filled
purses who cannot resist the temptation
of stealing shiiling's worth of ribbon at
the risk Of social disgrace and ruin
OF course, as 1 daresay you know, nearly
all firms employ women detectives, smart
ly dressed and of ladylike appearance,
who mix with the crowd of purchasers, and
have a very keen eye indeed for these
peculatfons. These women are regularly
employed by the firms, live on the prem
ises, are paid from fl los to e los. week,
and keep an eye as much on the assistants
as on their customers.
The tricks of the male shoplifter are
much more varied and subtle than those of
his female rival. A very common practice
is to carry a stick or umbrella with hol-
low receptacle at the top. spring re-
leases the silver or ,sold-mounted top: the
stolen article, which must naturally be
small as it Is valuable is slipped into the
padded hollow and, the top sprung back
again into position.
A very skillful, thief made a hiding place
of the hollow part OF an artificial forearm,
into which he could palm an article with
lightning rapidly. One of the latest de-
vices is to wear glove with pocket or
series of pockets in the palm, and, while
examining small articles of jewelry, rings,
brooches, gold pendants, and on, to slip
one or more into the concealed pocket by
a practiced movement of the fingers.
Another trick is to carry some adhesive
substance in the palm of the gloves, and
by carelessly resting the palm on an ar
ticle Of jewelry to remove it, The oppor-
tunities for exercising these tricks while
the assistants back is turned, or while he
is attending to another customer, are
many.
But much shop lifting is done with the
help of a confederate who strolls in
casually while No. / is making his pur-
chases. One two valuable articles are
handed to the second customer, who Is ap-
parently quite a stranger to No. 1. and. If
the latter is suspected and searched, of
course, nothing is found in his possession
OF till robberes. with smeared and hook
ended sticks, of false alarms which draw
the shopkeeper in pursuit of imaginary
thieves, leaving the real pilferer free to do
his work, and of the hundred and one
other articles, it would require almost a
volume to speak.

1t is just as easy to drift into danger
as to drive into 1t. The progress is slower
but the end is equally sure. 1t is the
gradual progress of drifting which blinds
to the danger. Men and wor'en drift into
ill-hea1th in such a way. There is a
little feeling of oppression after eating.
After a time it passes away Some day
it returns and brings another symptom
headache, perhaps. Something is done
to relieve the headache, but nothing to
relieve the cause. So one more victim
goes drifting on to the rocks of disease.
Young women who are teaching or
studying are very apt to become victims
of disease of the stomach. They eat in
judiciously, in some cases, and in gen.
eral the brain is too occupied to allow
the stomach the blood necessary to carry
on its functions. Hence in time the
organs of digestion and nutrition are
totally deranged, and the young gradu-
ate goes home a chronic invalid
The timely use of DIR. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery will avert such a con-
dition the faithful use of it in chronic
cases will effect complete cure.

TRICKS OF sHOPLIFTERS.
Ingenious Ways of Smart People to
Get Things for Nothing.

Get Things for Nothing.
From TftBits.
There is no section of criminals that dis
plays such varied ingenuity shoplifters,
said a clever detective, who has had long
experience of the fraternity; and / can as
you that many of them might give
lessons in cunning to the most artful Chi
nee.
Shopliftng is a science that appeals
largely to women. Their SEX to a certain
extent disarms suspicion, especially when
as is usual, they are elegantly dressed, and
do their shopping in a weli-appointed
brougham. Their dress gives them unlimit-
ed scope for the concealment of small ar
ticles; and again, the game is SO compare
lively free from risk, for IT they are caught
red-handed. rule it simply means an
awkward interview with the proprietor and
payment for the goods appropriated.
You see, 1t does not pay fashionable
shopkeeper to give his house a bad reputa-
ton as a haunt Of thieves; and, further,
many of the lady-lifters women with
some standing in society, who are either
kleptomaniacs or who cannot resist the
sudden temptation of annexing a pretty
thing without payment.
Ladies of this class are novices in the art,
and are readily detected. common prac-
tfce with them is to slip any small article
from the counter into their umbrellas when
the assistants back is turned. If detected
it is the simplest of accidents, and the cul-
prit apologies prettily and restores the
article.
Another favorite place of concealment is
in the loose folds of a blouse or shirt"
where anything small will lie undetected,
while the more artful among them have
cunningly devised pockets in their skirts,
into which they can slip quite a large
amount Of plumber.
One lady, who had quite long and sue
cessful career at counter-stealing, was al
ways accompanied by a little girl, osten-
sibly her daughter, carrying large doll.
The mother, who was young and pretty,
and faultlessly dressed, would hold the doll
while she was being served Ia very natural
and prudent act with a valuable doll which
the child might drop at any momenD. and
when the assistants attention was with
drawn she would slip into the hollow in
terror of the doll any small article. from a
bottle of scent to an article of jewelry,
that might be lying near her.

Cured by the Telephone.

There is a popular character in Pendle-
ton who has a slight impeachment in his
his speech. He talks eloquently but he
stammers some. He recently located in
Pendleton because he admires Missourians
and he has found the right kind here.
The other day he went to the telephone to
talk to a friend In Portland. When the
talk was finished the Portland man said
We'll. old man, you seem to talk better
since you went to Pendleton. You do not
stutter anything like as much as you did"
No" said the Pend eton man, clear and
straight as bell. "a man cannot afford TO
stutter through a telephone when to talk
costs % cents a minute"
