THE STORE DETECTIVE.


/ At Times He Makes 1t Unpleasant
For Others Than Thieves.
A young woman who sings In church
choir.in this city was in one Of the de.
partment stores the other day when
the detective employed there stopped
besede her and, pointing to woman
with long cape and bag at an ad'
joining counter, said:
"Just watch that woman work.
The singer saw the woman take two
articles from the counter when the
shopgirl was not looking and drop
them into her bag.
"Why. she is stealing" she said.
eyes" said the detective, land if you
will follow her to the next counter with
me you will see her take more things"
The singer was interested, and she
walked along with the detective. Two
more articles were dropped in the bag,
and then the detective arrested the
shoplifter. She made the usual scene
and protested her innocence The de-
tective asked the singer if she would
step back to the office with him and
corroborate his charges, and she went,
unconscious Of further trouble. There
was no doubt. as. to the shoplifter's
guilt. She came Of a respectable fam
Z lily, and she convinced the singer that
she4took the articles not because she
needed them or the money that they
would bring, but because she had the
shoplifting habit. ssessihes
When these facts were settled, the
detective thanked the singer for her as
,sistance and told her that she must t.
in the police court at o'clock on the
following morning as witness. It
was the singers turn to make scene.
She protested against being dragged
into police court and said that such
notoriety would seriously injure her in
her work. The detective insisted. and
had the charge against the shoplifter
not been withdrawn before the case
reached the court the singer would
have been one Of the witnesses. She
denounced the detective and the store
which employed him for imposing on
Its patrons in that fashion. and she is
going to make it her business hereafter
to keep out Of the way Of store detect

Diaadvantages Of ran Men.

Tall men. ais rule, have bodies out
OF proportion to their lower limbs
that is, smaller than they ought to be-
with the natural result that they are
unable to bear fatigue or to compete In
the struggles Of life with lesser men
more harmoniously proportioned. Ar
my experience bears out these observa-
lions. In a long and fatiguing march
the tall men usually fall out first or
succumb to campaigning unless, as is
very rarely the case, they have well
knit and symmetrical frames. A sol
der between 5 feet 5 inches and s feet
g or 8 inches is usually the man most
capable Of bearing the strain Of life.

Bear Lake county is a sportsman's par

ducks, geese, snipe and all known water
fowl. The mountains abound III sage
hens, grouse and such winged game, while
a little farther back are to be found deer,
elk and bear. The mountain streams are
full Of speckled trout, and the lake is the
home of the lake trout, German carp,
Lake Superior white fish and others Of
the fnny tribe. Every year great num-
bers Of hunting lovers come to this Sec
ton for their summer outing.
In 1890 there was one person in Idaho
for every square mile. In 1900 there are
almost two 30 for every square mile.
Montpelier's business is derived from
farming, stock growing, railroading,
mining and allied interests.
Bear Lake county has over 200 miles of
wagon roads.
