What One Experiences Sometimes

This is what a Detroit whist PLAYER Ia

where he was doing his level best for a
prize:
The large lady, his partner, gave the
tered under her breath and then said to
the other lady: Look at that, now. It's
all askew and so annoying. | don't care who
you go to or how much you pay, it's always
the same way. Did you signal for trump,
or was it the other hand"
"That sleeve lost us three tricks' con-
tinued the complainant. Then the other
lady wanted recipe for making chow
chow picklelily or something of that sort.
OF course my accommodating partner went
right to reeing it off, playing king to nv

another suit, led right into the enemv's

Horses In Large Cities.

The great cities of the world use up
an enormous number of horses every
year, and these must constantly be re-
supplied by horses from the country
or from foreign parts. 1t is stated that
in the suburbs of London alone there
are 100000 horses in use, and that 1OO,-
600 horses must every year be sent into
these suburbs to take the place of those
worn out. The city of Berlin takes
100000 new horses every year. a large
number of the horses used in omnibuses
and on tram lines. both in England and
on the continent, are imported from the
United States. The horses from the
United States are shipped from the
ports of New York and Boston to the
ports of London, Liverpool and Glas-
gov, and quite a large number are
transhippeG at London for the ports
of Antwerp and Havre. The ocean rates
on horses from New York and Boston
are from five to six pounds per head.

TAKEN AT HIS WORD.
The Purchasers Complained of a Lack
of One of the Elements
In the Oil.

The faculty of terse and forceful speech
is ordinarily an advantage, but occasional.
ly a man gets hoisted by his own epigram.
A hustIing young New Yorker who was
recently established in branch of the oil
business, had set out to get the patronage
of a certain firm. The head of the concern
was reluctant to make change.
"The oil we have been getting is not un
satisfactory" said he, ''and l fail to see
why we should make a change. Are there
any extra inducements you can offer? How
do you propose to improve on the old quail
I'm this way" YVES the prompt answer
81 propose to give the business my personal
attention | intend to put some of my brains
into every barrel of oil we send out"
The rejonder pleased the old gentleman,
and he became customer.
A few months later the hustling young
man was obliged to make a journey, and
in his absence, through some oversight, the
quality of oil was allowed to deteriorate.
1t was quickly noted, and letter now on
file in the office records one of the protests.
1t reads; Gentlemen: When we were
induced to use your product we were as
sured that Mr.. Blank put some of his brains
into every barrel of oil. We deeply regret
to observe that Mr. Blank is threatened
with paresis. Washington Star

RINGS BETRAY DETECTIVES.
Member of the Force Says the Ma
jority of Policemen Have
Weakness for Seal Rings.

One of the cleverest detectives at po-
lice headquarters was asked recently
if he did not think there was something
in the manner or makeup of the aver
age police detective which betrayed his
real calling to the professional criminal.
Il have no doubt there is" he replied
''Just how the professional tells that
the man wearing plain clothes is a
sleuth on the lookout for law breakers
1 cannot tell. Maybe it is a certain
style of dress affected by the detectives.
or peculiar way they have of acting,
or an expression on their countenances
that, slangily put, gives them dead
away. Policemen get attached to
certain things and find it very hard in
deed to surrender them. One of these
peculiarities is the wearing of a big
seal ring. More than so per cent. of the
patrolmen wear rings of this sort. Why
they do SO | cannot say. 1t is one of the
first things the patrolman buys for him
self after he puts his uniform on, and he
never loses his fondneSs for that ring,
but continues to wear it when he rises
in the ranks. Perhaps it is this ring
that betrays many of the detectives to
the criminals.
The best testimony to detectives
ability is the honest admission from
thorough professional that the detec-
tive has shadowed him without the
least suspicion being aroused in the
criminals mind. The professionals are
always on the lookout for the law Off
GERS, whereas the police are not always
so keenly watchful for lawbreakers.
The criminal, of course, realizes that
his liberty is at stake, and that to keep
out of Jail he must be ever on the alert
He is therefore suspicious of everyone.
''As a rule, L have been fortunate in
detecting criminals without being de-
tected by them. Occasionally, however,
they have suspected me. l recall one
such instance. 1t was on a Broadway
closed car. got aboard near Franklin
street. On the rear platform were two
well-dressed young fellows, and some
thing about them led me to think they
were pickpockets. [ determined to
watch them as closely as possible with
out their suspecting it. [ don't know
WlaU gave lutl1 lllc Out
denly one of them entered the car and
sat down in an empty seat. Then he
crossed his hands upon his lap and kept
them there. l knew then that he and
his pal suspected me, and that was
right in thinking they were thieves.
That fellow meant that | should see
he was not plying his trade, and that so
long as his hands were crossed on his
lap they could not be filching from the
pockets of the passengers.
"After the car had gone some few
blocks the other thief on the rear plat
form jumped off and started to walk
slowly up Broadway. Two blocks fur
ther on the chap seated on the inside
of the car also got off.
''As rule, however, L have had much
better luck in spotting criminals. l
have had some old-timers tell me after
their arrest that they never had the
least suspicion of my real character.''-

He was opposed in the case on trial by all
