Members of the American club here
tell a story of another resident who
was touched" by a Mexican pickIOcket
under circumstances that were rather
embarrassing to the loser. He started
out one afternoon TO show the town to
a number of friends who had just ar
rived from the states" They were on
the point of entering one of the crowd
ed market streets, where all sorts of
picturesque things may be seen amid
extremely untidy surroundings, when
he bethOught him of warning his COM
rades against thieves.
Feel in your pockets said he, and
see if your money and watches are safe.
You can't be too careful in this city,
you know. The thieves here beat the
world" As he spoke he suited his
actions to his words and felt in his
own pocket only to discover that he
had been robbed Of all the money with
which he had expected to entertain his
friends.

however, that the unbelievers are al

bears ready and cheerful testimony to

sort of respect that is inspired by fear
One story that is vouched for as be-
ing true is told of of a former Chicago
newspaper man who has been in bust
ness here five or six years. He knew
all about the Mexican pickpOcketS, and
when last spring he went to the big
plaza on the night when President
Diaz came out on a balcony of the ma
tiOnal palace to ring the historic bell,
he had his $3.50 gold watch in the in
side pocket of his vest with his coat
and OveTcOat tightly buttOned. The
plaza was density crowded. as usual
on such occasions, but he was conf
dent that no one could rob him with
out his knowing it. When the presi-
dent appeared the ex-ChiCagOan look
ed up at him, and among those around
recognized a friend. a former fellow
townsman and prominent board of
trade man. His attention was dis
tracted for only moment, but when
he removed his gaze from the balcony
he Immediately discovered that both
his vest and OvercOat were unbuttOned
and his watch gone. He had been to-
tally unconscious everything except
the pressure of the crowd about him.
When he met his friend the next day
he accused the latter of being the
cause of his bad luck, but the latter
would not admit the responsibility.
You ought to have known better
than to have any valuable about you
in a crowd like that" was all the COM
fort he received.

Boltinr Our Food.

I
There Is undoubtedly great deal K
be said in favor Of the opinion thai
d considerable portion of the illness In
this country is caused by the unpleas.
ant habit of eating too rapidly. OF
course we all know, and have at
times very painful experience Of,
the fact that this is a high pressure
age, and all is done at express speed
but this surely ought not to be the
case with our meals. 1t is interesting,
but not pretty, to watch the business
man when he goes into restaurant
for his luncheon 1t is with him
looked upon in the light of duty and
not pleasure. He must eat, and he
feels that he has only few minutes
to devote to the operation, so that he
may be back at his Office with all pos
sible speed. He attacks his food saw
agely, gulps down his beer or wine,
and when the last sad rites are over
he pays and bolts--in fact, it is a case
of holting from beginning to end. Ev-
cry doctor will tell you that people
should eat slowly, and occupy the
time pleasantly with conversation. In
this way we shall live longer and en-
Joy better health and greater ability

| Frederick the Great and HIS DOGS.
Frederick. the Greats fondness for.
dogs amounted to a passion. He al
ways had five or six Italian greyhounds
about him, leaping upon chairs and
sleeping on the couches In his room.
During his last illness he used to Sit
on the terrace at Sans Souci and al
ways had a dog at his side occupying
another chair. He fed them himself,
played with them and permitted them
to tear, to their hearts content, his
damask chairs and otherwise injure
the furniture, saying: Ny dogs de-
stroy my chairs; If / have them mend
ed today, they would be torn az lin
tomorrow, SO ] suppose + must bear
with the inconveni nience.n, VI One Of
Frederick's dogs, Biehe, attained his
toric celebrity. It is stated that the
king took Biche with him on the cam
paign Of 1745. One day the king, I'D
vancing on areconn noissance, was CUR
prised and pursued by the Austrians.
He took refuge under a bridge. and,
wrapping Biche in his cloak, held him
to his breast. The sagacious dog
seemed fully conscious Of the peril Of
his master, and though of a nervous
temperament and disposed to bark at
the slightest disturbance, he remained
perfectly quiet until the Austrians had
passed. At the battle Of sohr, Biche
was taken captive with the kings bag
gage. So much joy did the dog mani
fest upon being restored to his master
that the kings eyes were flooded with
tears. Travellers visit the tombs OF
these famous dogs. In front Of he
palace at Sans souci are fiat stones,
each having engraved upon it the name
of dog.

But though he had locked the letter
away he could not put the thoughts Of

kept coming back to him again and
again, particularly that one unpalatable
sentence about him waiting till he was
forty before he need expect his uncle
to hear OF his marrying under a GER
tain amount Of dover with the bride.
Now, Dick Aylmer was utterly ig-
norant of the circumstances in which
the little girl Of his dream was placed.
She might have dover, it might be
large or small, he did not know; and
on the other hand, it was more than
likely that she had not so much as
penny in the world. Somehow, al
though he had never been within the 4

an idea that it was q place without

needed coat Of paint badly, and had

and altogether he fancied that Dorothy

SET FIRE TO THE LETTER.
i have to wait; but as for waiting tilllhis
i savage old uncle chose to say "yea or
nay why, the idea was simply pre-
posterous, and Dick put 1t aside at once
as a contingency which could not be
considered for moment. After all,
his marriage was his business, his and
1 nobody elses on his side; he meant to
| marry to please himself, and his uncle
could go to the deuce IL he liked. After
all, II he did marry her or any 9th
| er girl that he chose to marry, and his
| uncle cut up rough over it, what could
| he do? He could, and probably would,
stop his allowance Immediately. But,
then he had absolutely no guarantee
that the old savage might not from
mere caprice do that at any moment,
when he would have no other course
open to him but to exchange into q
regiment serving in India, and live on
his pay. So that, after all, what was
the good Of his depending too much
on his uncle, who would, If his wife
happened to die, assuredly marry again
on the chance Of having an heir who
would cut him out of his heritage?
All the same, Dick Alymer did not
think that there was the remotest
chance of his unc1e's wife leaving the
way clear for suecessor-her ladyship
was at least fifteen years younger than
her lord. and was woman of aggres-
sively good health, which she kept in
perfect order by living by line and
rule; and he reminded himself that
beyond stopping his allowance and
possibly having another heir, Lord
Aylmer was absolutely powerless to
leave one stick or stone away from
him-the property must go with the
title to the heir who was to follow
him.
A couple of days went by, and Dick
Aylmer had almost forgotten his un-
ele's letter in the pleasure of anticipa-
ton, and by the time he turned out of
the barrack gates, bound for Grave
leigh Hall to make his formal call up
on Dorothy Strode's aunt, he was in as |
