Shoplifting in Paris.

The ways of shoplifters are
thus described in a foreign journal:
AT the Bon Marche and the Louvre,
in Paris, a regular allowance is made
for shoplifting in the debtor and credi-
tor accounts; the daily sum thus reg
istered is surprisingly high. Besides
amateur kleptomaniacs, female thieves
make a continual raid on the counters,
and, Notwithstanding the vigilance of
the ispectors, they manage to reap a
good harvest. These women usually
wear skirts as full as fashion will al
low, with very deep and capacious
pockets; they also wear shoes, not
boots, and have stockings cut off, SO
as to leave the toes free. They press
close to the counter, where a rapid
motion of the elbow, favored by some
dangling fringe, catches the coveted
and throws it down. Then,
quickly, the foot slips out of the shoe,
and the toes, exercised by long prac-
tice, draw the lace, or whatever it may
be, under the long skirt, where it re-
hidden till an opportunity oc-
ours of quickly secreting it in the
pocket"

urious pleasure. She had the hand
soonest turnout on the Bots and gave
most sumptuous dinners. 1t was In
Paris that she met Count Pourtales. He
fell in love with her and married her,
and though Paris went mad over her
beauty-perhaps for that very reason
he sailed with her for Japan as an
attache OF the French legation. In
Japan she carried on so lively a firta-
ton with a French officer that Count
Pourtales went to the length Of claim
ing that their marriage was illegal,
and, leaving her, returned to Paris,
whittier she followed him. After an
other round of the widest extrava-
gance, she fascinated another French
diplomat, who married her and took
her back to Japan. 1t was not long
after their arrival that this husband,
too, abandoned her on account of the
attentions which she received from
the prime minister of Japan. There
upon she devoted herself entirely to
the prime minister. She created so
many difficulties that the Mikado fin
ally commanded that she should be be-
headed. Her execution was followed
by many international complications,
but they never amounted to anything.

What has become of Evelyn Gran
Vile? She is not dead, but she has
earned and has been paid the wages Of
sin. Living, yet she is dead, at least
to all those who knew her when she
was young, beautiful and successful.
Burton c.. Webster, the boOkmaker,
who was her common law husband, and
who did murder for her or in her name,
has just emerged from state prison at
Sing Sing, and is now trying to earn
a living in New York. Even he will
have nothing more to do with her, for
she has run the full gamut of Tender
loin" existence, and all efforts to re-
form her have been in vain, although
many strong inHuences have been
brought to bear upon her. Evelyn
Granville wa an actress of mediocre
ability when Webster met her in New
York. But she was beautiful and vi
vacious and Webster, who vas then
quite wealthy, took her to be his wife,
without the formality of a ceremony,
which Is unnecessary under the New
York laws. In the apartment house
in which they lived handsomely there
also lived D. G. Goodwin, who paid
some attentions to Evelyn. Webster
shot and killed him, and when he was
put on trial the jury was made to be-
lieve that he had done the shooting in
defense of the honor of his wife" In
this way he escaped the electric chair,
the conviction being for manslaughter
and not for murder in the first degree.
The greatest impression upon the jury
was produced by the bringing into
court of an infant, which Evelyn Gran
vile sWOre was her own, Webster be-
ing the father. 1t figured extensively
in the trial and helped materially to
save Webster from electrocution. Long
after the man had been in Sing Sing
Evelyn Granville made public confess
sion of the imposition upon the court.
According to her it was purchased for
the occasion and instead of being the
child of Webster and herself was the
offspring of a poor woman, whose very
name she had forgotten. There is no
telling how much Evelyn Granville
may have loved Webster. When she
made the confession she declared she
had never had any affection for him.
At all events when he went to prison
her mode of life showed that he was as
deat to her as if he had really gone to
the electric chair, from which she had
done so much to save him.
Now there is nothing left to her but
her name, and the sensation in which
she was such a prominent figure. She
has gone the way of all the others
the way that leads to the wages OF sin.

MADE 1T A FAMILY AFFAIR.
Curious Circumstances Surrounding Som

Curious Circumstances Surrounding Some
South Carolina Governors.
The record of governors furnished by
the Richardson family of South Caro-
lima far surpasses that of the Walcotts
of Connecticut. The remarkable facts
are recalled by the death of John Peter
Richardson, the last governor of the
"old regime" says the Philadelphia
Call. Gov. Richardson was a nephew
Of Elizabeth Peyre Manning (nee Rich
ardson), a remarkable woman, and the
only one on record who was the wife of
a governor, the sister OF a governor,
the niece of a governor, the mother of
a governor and the aunt and foster
mother of a governor. She was also
the half first cousin of her husband,
Gov. Richard I. Manning. Gen. James
B. Richardson, grandfather, was gov
ernor from 1902 to 1904. John Peter
Richardson, the father, was governor
from 1910 to 1912 and John Peter Rich
ardson, the son, from 1886 to 1890. Gen.
Richardson was also the grandfather
of Richard 1. Manning, governor from
1924 to 1926, whose son, John Lawrence
Manning, was governor from 1852 to
1854. And if there is such a thing as
being ancestor-in-law, there are two
more governors to be added to this
family tree, both illustrious-George
McDuffie and Wade Hampton. Nc
Dufie married a great-grandmother OF
Gen. Richardson, while Gov. Hamp-
toms second wife, McDuffie's daughter,
was a Observation-Disclosures.
There is a coincidence in that the late
Gov. John Peter Richardson and his
father bore the same name, were gov
errors of the same state, both succeed
ed governors who were not elected to
that Office. but were filling out unex-
pired terms; the acknowledgements
under each were from upper Carolina
and both were named Williams.

WHEN CHILDREN SMOKED


They Were Sent to School with Pipes In
Their Satchels.
Every one has read that Hawkins in
troduced tobacco into England and that
King James inveighed against it. Eliz-
abeth liked to sit on a low stool and
watch Sir Walter Raleigh putting
away. Once she bet him hat he could
not tell the weight of the smoke in
his pipe, but the philosopher won. In
In Charles lis reign children were
sent to school with their pipes in their
satchels, n the schoolmaster called
a halt in their studies while they
smoked" In 1902 Jorevin spent an
evening with his brother at Cara
ways coffee house, Leeds, and writes:
II was surprised to see his sickly child
of three years old fill his pipe of to-
bacco and smoke it as audfarandly a.
a man of threescore; after that a Sec
ond and third pipe without the least
concern, as it is said to have done
about a year ago." There were about
47O coffee houses in London, besides
five chocolate houses, in Anne's time.
Smoking was general in them, and in
toxicants could be also obtained, as
we'll as coffee. Bishop T~relawney was
much hurt because Bishop Barnett has
accused him Of getting drunk in one of
them on the 30th of January-a day OF
grief to tories and all good churchmen.

AS A BOY.

Dewey Invariably Took Sides with the
Weak and the Bullied.
AS a boy George Dewey was alert,
bright and vivacious. He was not a
hard student. He was often mischiev-
GUS, but never malicious. He was
fond Of all outdoor sports, and was not
averse to a fist fight when he consid-
cred that he was in the right. But he
never pitched into a lad smaller than
himself. He was always on the side
of the weak against the bully. Mary
Dewey, his sister, was his frequent
companion in the milder amusements
of his early boyhood. She remembers
that he was always %chivalrous and
kindly to her and the other girls. She
has said that even as a child he was
never afraid of the dark. when his
sister emphasized this characteristic"
says Mr.. Barnett, who tells the story,
81 thought of the dark night when he
took the lead on the Olympia and sail
ed into Manila Bay past Corregidor,
without fear or hesitation" During
his first year at Annapolis Dewey did
not hold any high rank. He was not
exactly indolent, but he was so en-
crossed with the pleasures of student
life and it's good comradeship hat he
had little time left for plodding. He
took in good part, however, a letter
from his father urging on him more
assiduity to study, and, as a result,
when graduation day came he was
third in his class, with Howell and
Reed respectively first and second.

ed. Still l managed at last to get one
loosened and cut open. There was a
pulp within that contained some sem
blance of moisture, but could mo- see
that it allayed my thirst. Perhaps l

HOW EUROPEANS TRAVEL.

at Watering Places.
The Germans are beginning to form
one OF the largest elements in the trav-
cling world of Europe. Up till a short
time ago even Switzerland was never
much ~patronized by the children of the
fatherland, but hat has changed now
and it is said that the REVERB would
ha re been a complete failure last sea.
sol II it had not been for the Germans
who spent much time there. And il
was not time alone that the foreigners
spent while in the beautiful district.
They were free with their money, and
it is said that this advance guard OF
Germans who are beginning to scatter
over the European continent is lavish
in the matter Of money. The English.
who have grown into the habit of con-
sidering themselves the best and most
untiring travellers of the world. have
come in for no end of criticism, espe-
cially from the Swiss, for their close
watch on their pocketbooks. One pen
sion proprietor in the Taunus-Wald
was heard to say that she wanted no
English guests, for they bargain"
lhls has been declared all the more
peculiar from the fact that the Eng
lish hotels at home are famous for
their high prices, and a man who will
consent to e~Xtravagant charges at
home is a trihe unreasonable when he
haggles over a nights lodging abroad.
AS an evidence of the increase in the
German travellers there were 1880 peo-
pie of that nationality at Lucerne
from June 16 to 80 this year, to 2,293
for the same period last. In the same
time 1911 English were in Lucerne,
as compared with 1856 of last summer
The increase of all foreign visitors at
the same place and time for the pres
ent year was over 1900, showing that
Switzerland is having its full share of
tourists. The wealthy Russians are
said to be extremely profitable to ho-
tel and shopkeepers in the lands in
which they are travelling. A Swiss au-
thority insists that 200 Russians will
spend more in a month than 1000
English men and women for the same
period of time.-St. Louis Star.

guest in the st. Charles lobby the other
evening. eff so, what is its value?
Those points will be raised in a very
peculiar suit which is coming up at
the next term Of court in a town over
in Georgia. I'd rather not mention any
names, but l happen to be familiar
with the facts, and they are briefly
these: Almost a month ago a we'll
known travelling man was staying at
the leading hotel of the place and went
to the cigar stand one day to get a
light. They had a n~ew-fangled con-
Germ that spouted out a jet of flame
when the lighter was lifted, but or this
particular occasion it hung fire. The
drummer was trying to make it work
when all of a sudden it blazed out like
a volcano and licked off his long, beau
tltul blonde mustache. He was furi-
Gus, of course, because the mustache
had been his chief ornament and pride.
but the affair might still have passed
off without trouble if he hadn't been
so numerically guyed. The upshot of

the landlord laughed at him, and he
Instructed a lawyer to bring suit for
$4,000. The papers will be filed in the
next term of court. | am told they
make some interesting allegations.
1t will be claimed. for instance, that
the mustache was of direct assistance
to its owner in earning a livelihood,
insomuch as it gave him a distin-
guished appearance. and thus facili-
tated his interviews with the trade. Its
loss, he holds, was a Disagreement
which has o~cCasiOned ridiCule, falling
off in prestige, and consequent shrink
age in business. He will also allege
that his altered appearance caused
great mental anguish to himself and
wife, and that that species of suffer-
ing may be reduced, under the law, to
dollars and cents. incidentally he will
try to prove that the absence of a mus
tache affected his eyesight. So, as you
may observe, a good many interesting
and delicate questions will be raised,
and I dare say the case will attract
wide attention. l have the particulars
