PENALTY OF REGULATION,
How Merchants in England Squeeze
Money From Women ShOplffters.

money from women ShOpiffters.
From the San Francisco Examiner
Only a small proportion of shoplifters
are actually forced to face the ordeal Of
a police court examination. For this there
are reasons of both mercy and policy.
The proprietors of the big stores real
iZe that scarcely any of the shoplifters
are professional thieves. 1t is rarely that
a woman is captured who has the false
pockets and false Innings and the various
other devices adopted by professionals.
Shoplifters are usually well-to-do women
who are tempted beyond their self-denial
and the size of their pocket books to help
themselves to things they cannot buy.
1t is seldom that genuine kleptomania is
the explanation. There are undoubt adly
kleptomaniacs, but they are very few.
Proprietors of the big stores do not like
to gain a reputation for cruelty i'm their
treatment of customers, and for this raa-
son, as often as from motives of mercy,
they refrain, in most cases. from the pub
lie prosecution of offenders.
But they do not let them go scot free.
In most of the big stores the woman who
is detected in shoplifting is taken at once
to a private Office and confronted by one
of the firm.
The matter is discussed and her explana-
ton carefully listened to. 1t may be that
the proprietor may deem that mistake
has been made and the woman will be dis
missed with apologies.
Usually, however the alternative of
public arrest or confession Is presented.
and the woman will almost always grasp
eagerly at the opportunity to confess and
thus save scandal.
Then blank form is filled in, which
narrates that the undersigned has been
detected in stealing certain articles on a
certain date. and then follows a promise
not to enter the store again. The woman
signs. is bowed out. the confession is filed

Then he went to South Kensington, where
he was for some time on the teaching stan

government to direct art instruction

Lahore. He married daughter of the

Of the president of the Royal Academy;
Lady Burne-Jones, and Mrs. Baldwin. wife
of the member of the Bewdlem division of
Worcestershire. Their brother. the Rev.
F. w. Macdonald, is one of the Wesleyan
misstonarys secretaries. Yes; both Rud-
yards grandfathers were Wesleyan minis
ters." Miss Kipling went on to say that
''Rud's'' father attained some distinction
in his profession, that he is a c. l. E., that
he designed the decorations of one of the
rooms at Bagshot (the residence of the
Duke Of Connaught. and that the queen on
seeing this was so pleased Wiuh 1t that
she sent for Mr. Kipling, with the result
that he designed the decoration of what
IS known as the Indian room at the Royal
Palace at Osborne. Some of his decorative
work is also to be found In the Bursiey
Town Hall. She added that he is now liv-
ing at Tisbury in Wiltshire. 1t is remark
able to learn how he got his Christian
name, Rudyard 1 have just been told that
he was given the name ont OF the delightful
memories his parents had of many lovers
strolls they enjoyed in their counting days
near the Lake Rudyard, in the vicinity Of
Leek, in Staffordshire This may revive
the controversy as to whether Rudyard
was born in England or in India 1t has
been alleged that he was born in England
and taken out to India as a mere baby.
Mr.. Kipling, however, is Of opinion that he
was born in India and his opinion is GER
tainly entitled to weight.
Portraits of the Emperor.
Although the German emperor is very
fond of having his portrait painted. he does
not consider it necessary to handsomely re-
munerate the artist. He considers that the
advertisement given is sufficient. and that,
therefore, the pay may be honorary. In
the time of William the painter received
1000 marks for his work, burt his grandson
considers 800 marks sufficient. This eco
nomicaa trait Is sore trial to artists, but in
the case of one well-known artist the
kaiser was bested. He had painted a por-
vfted his majesty to see it. The kaiser was
SO pleased With 1T that he Immediately
called out: fF buy that picture!" The ar
t:st was staggered. and explained that he
mad painted 1t for exhibition. But the
kaiser would not, hear him. and, as he
reached the door, turned round and said:
That picturesis rnine! But scarcely had
the imperies peesance vanished than the ar
tist, with all possible rapidty packed up
the picture and sent it away. He well
knew what haste was needed, for an hour
claim it, but he had to leave with empty
hands. For this the kaiser did not forgive
the painter for "a long while. For two
years although he had been his majesty's
favorite artist, he received no further
order. Is sf97 L. H. MOORE.

WOMEN EXECUTIONERs.
Belgium Had One Recently and Nir-
ginia Had One Years Ago.

FROM tne New York Herald
What do you think of woman who vol
unfairly. offered herself to the government
as the public executioner?
few years ago the official public execu-
toner at Brussels died and a substitute
was temporarily appointed. On one occa-
sion this person was i'll and unable to at
tend. But at the appointed hour a stout
middle-aged woman presented herself at the
central police station and quietly remarked
to the assembled functionaries:
I've come for the execution. NV hus-
band is not very well this morning and has
asked me to take his place. Please let us
get to business
The general stupefaction may be more
easily imagined than described. which be-
ing noticed by the would-be lady execution
er, she added in a reassuring tone: ''Oh,
this is not by any means the first time"
1t afterward transpired that the woman,
whose name was Marie Rege, had officiated
on several occasions in lieu of her husband.
Dressed up in his clothes and her face
masked, she had been the public execu-
toner at several executions and never had
the proceedings been Interrupted by single
hitch. 1t Is needless 10 add that the police
authorities We're unable to avail themselves
of her offer on this occasion, however.
1t will be a surprise to most people TO
learn that there has actually been a woman
executioner in this country. In olden times
few cared to undertake the Office of execu-
toner, and occasionally death sentences
were respited on condition that the criminal
should perform this office. case of this
sort occurred In pre-revolutionary days
when woman was sentenced to death for
a murder she had committed in Virginia.
The death sentence was respited on her Of
fering to become public eXecutioner and
known as Lady Betty she performed
these duties for many years. She officiated
guise and fiogged criminals through the
streets with enthusiastic vigor.

success achieved by this well-known

places. The company presenting the
piece is materially the same that has
