Not Even a "Thank You"

A philanthrcpic worker on the East
Side told the following story the other
evening apropos of the courtesy or dis
courtesy one finds at the libraries-free
and otherwise:
At little Italian girl was approached by
another little girl and asked if she
wanted to buy some books. The other
girl it seems. liked candy better than she
liked books, while the Italian liked books
better than candy. The latter, therefore,
handed over cents-a1l the money she
had-and the candy lover, handing over
the books, scampered off gleefully. But
when the Italian reached home and
showed her purchase, her mother said:
why, these books are from the free IL
brary. The little girl had no right to
sell them. You must go straight to the
library and return Them" The little
italian did as her mother babe. In falt-
ering broken English she told her story
to the librarian, trying, so far as pos
sible not to implicate the candy lover
with her blunted moral sense. but at the
same time yielding up the volumes which,
in all good faith. she had given her last
cents for. The library attendant listened
to the story without word. Then,

KAISER AND HIS BARBER.
Haby Made Fortune Out of Turning
Up the Ecoeror's Mustache.

The kaisers mustache has been pop
ular subject of discussion ever since he
adopted the extraordinary fashion in
which he now wears it-turning sharp
right angles upwards at the ends OF his
upper lip and running parallel with mis-
nose until it reaches his eyelashes. 1t
was the invention Of barber named
Haby who for a time was an object of
almost as much curiosity as the emperor
himself In 1887 Adjutant Won Hulien,
one of the dudes Of the army. appeared
at the palace With the ends of his mus
tache turned upward in fan-shape style.
who did it," inquired the emperor.
"Haby, barber on Behren strasse,"
was the reply.
Il wonder if he could fix mine that
way?"
Il have no doubt" your majesty"
= "Send him to me-" said the kaiser, and
on the following day all Berlin was ex-
cited over a startling change In the facial
aspect of the sovereign. Haby became
famous, like the gourd that grew in a
night and everybody followed the new
fashion, from the field marshals of the
army to the laborers on the highways.
Ninety per cent of the male population
of Germany endeavored to turn their
mustaches so that they would point to
the stars like the horses of Texas steer.
Haby made the most of his opportunities
He enlarged his shop, which is in the
center of the cafe district, and hired a
dozen additional BARRIERS, whose chief
business was to train the mustaches of
military men.
Haby himself spent most of his time
with his imperial patron accompany
ing him upon all his journeys, because
to properly train mustache in the way
it should go requires assiduous atten-
ton. He accompanied the imperial
party to the Holy Land and visited En-
gland, Russia. Austria and Constanti-
nople in the imperial retinue. He re-
ceived several decorations which made
him dizzy, and when he got the "big
head" the emperor dismissed him.
Haby is still living upon his former
glory, and his mustache "a la empereur"
still survives. He has adopted it as
a trademark, and the motto upon his
escutcheon, as it were, is the remark
made by his imperial master when he
arose from the BARRIERS chair and looked
in the glass:

plished." )-Record-H Herald.

The present long creed Of the church will

WOMAN REVEALS
kIDNAPERS' PLOT
Oakland Citizens Are
Warned to Carefully
Guard Children.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
111o Dao 4

Ills Broadway, Dec. 1.
Residents of the Lakeside district have
been warned by Chief of Police Hodgkins
to keep a careful eye on their children,
as the police have reason to fear the
existence of a plot to do some wholesale
kidnapping.
Chief Aodgkins reports that few days
from a woman whose identity he prom
ised not to reveal. The woman told him
that she had overheard two men dis
cussing a plan involving the abduction
and holding for ransom OF the children of
two Oakland families. The woman told
her story with such circumstantial detail
that the Chief Immediately detailed De
tectives Shorey and Holland to investi-
gate.
He also notified and placed on their
guard Mr. and Mrs. A. ID. Thomson, who
reside at III Thirteenth street, and whose
child was one Of the proposed victims Of
the alleged kidnapers. The parents of the
other subject of conspiracy, whose iden-
tity the Chief declines to divulge, were
also warned.
Every police officer in the city has been
instructed to be on the lookout for sus-
picious characters and to watch particu-
larly for strangers loafing in the vicinity
of the homes of wealthy citizens.
Chief Hodgkins believes in the sincerity
he is now acting and will leave nothing
undone to first of all prevent successful
carving out of this or similar plots, and
if possible to arrest the would-be kid
naperS.
The Chief has detailed a number of Of
ficers for this particular duty and the
patrol of the Lakeside district, where are
located the homes of the alleged kidnap-
ers' prospective prey, has been material

ton by Congress of the Navy Department
will be welcomed by Secretary Long and
other naval officials. The resolution in
tro6uced yesterday bv Representative
Williams of Mississippi contemplating a.
full investigation of the war with Spain
will meet with opposition from naval
officers. Secretary Long said to-day that
if Congress desires to investigate his de-
partment he will be glad to facilitate the
work of the committee appointed
Rear Admiral Crowninshield is also will
ing that Congress shall make inquiry into
mis- conduct of the Bureau of Navigation.
He feels he has done nothing which will
not bear the closest inspection and his
friends are confident that if fair and i'm
partial inquiry were made it would be
shown that he is entirely guiltlesS of the
charges OF conspiracy against Rear Ad-
nliral Schley and Of alteration of depart
mental records, which have been made by
irresponsible persons. The investigation
made by the Dewey court established con
clusively, according to officials of the de-
partment, the falsity of these charges.
The Williams resolution calls specially
for an inquiry into the report that Rear
Admiral Crowninshield approved the
proof sheets of the Maclay book 1t is
stated authoritatively that no such APP
proval was ever given, in fact Rear Al
miral Crowninshield did not see Maclav's
