The highest qualification that a po-
liceman can have is that he is an eX-
pert thief. He has been trained in
schools of thieves, and can detect in
every burglary or outrage by its de-
tails to which school Of crime the per-
petrator belongs But he is only a
thief wearing official clothes, and he
merely catches enough thieves to save
himself beating, and then he selects
strangers or those who have failed to
give him his proper share of the plum
der from his own district. When
police officer has made his "deal' with
thief or gang nothing short of awful
tortures by his superiors, the local
magistrates and judges, will cause the

In certain towns, not thirty Ii
from Pekin, live some highly respect
ed men Of wealth, noted for their cor
rect lives, their virtue and probity.
Their houses are castles, and they
have many servants. Once or twice a
year they go to visit their friends in
Pekin. During their brief stay are
committed Some daring and successful
robberies, always in the houses of the
rich, and articles Of great value are
taken. The victims are peacefully
drugged by the perfume Of a burning
anesthetic which the thief avoids by
filling his mouth with cold water and
taking little breath. Quickly, by the
aid of his fire-pan, he locates the gold
and precious stones, and then he van
ishes into the night and leaves no
trace to the vulgar gaze Of his COM

These are the great thieves, and
they are rarely caught. They work

the Scriptural advice to charity, "Let
not thy left hand know what thy right
hand is doing" l asked a Chinese
magistrate why the police did not pay
visit to the palaces of those great
men of probity and virtue. But he
shook his head 1t would be a rash
thing to do. There are stories that
when the police have tried they either
found nothing but an indignant man
of such virtue that his outcries aroused
the neighborhood, and the minions Of
the law had to fee, or every police
man disappeared, and rumor has It
that the castle courtyard in that viii

The Growing Indifference to wealth.

OEOWAnk AhAAhCAShND W UNoAAAF
An interesting fact that one encoun-
ters is that strong men care less and
less for wealth 1t becomes a mere
counter in the game that they play
for power or for sport, and oftenest
Of all from sheer habit. Having once
begun the game they suffer ennul if
they stop. 1t is here that our highest
educational problem is-to train strong
men to cultivate their souls" without
losing their vigor.
And the truly cultivated man, the
strong man who has both benevolence
and the higher resources of mind and
cbaracter-such a man soon discovers
that it is no longer necessary to be
rich To such a man ihe accumulation
Of great wealth for his personal enjoy
ment is sheer waste Of energy. A
right and well-balanced philosophy
will emerge in due time from our
boundless activity, and we shall see
a sound culture give balance to our
stronger personalities as it now
sweetens chiefly those that are less
strong.-The Worlds Work.

Strange suits are filed at times in
the Japanese law courts, but none
more curious than one which is now
before the local court of Usuki-Machi,
in the Oita prefecture. In this case
a cultivator brings an action in which
he seeks to have the court compel a
japanese girl to reciprocate the af-
fection which he alleged he has de-
monstrated toward her, with her con-
sent, for several years He has wooed
the lady, he declares, since 1897, and
she has recently looked with favor
upon him and accepted baked sweet
meats" at his hands. She invited him
to her house a few days ago. and after
partaking Of various delicacies at his
expense, slipped away and left him to
be unceremoniously kicked out by her
friends. On these grounds he prays
for the Intervention of the court to
compel her to return his love, The
judge is taking time to consider the
matter,-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Much Interest Mnnifested in Today's

The students of Georgetown and the
University of Virginia are all prepared
to do some exceptionally loud shouting
at this afternoons football game between
the elcvens Of the two institutions.
The preparations for the conflict are
complete. and there is every indication
that the game will be the most exciting
one of the Eresent season.
Even the most stanch admirer of the
Blue and the Grey does not claim a vic
tory over the representatives of the Nir-
ginia univ ersity.
The work of the Neorgetown men so
far has been SO Inconsistent that it is i'm
possible to get d good line on their play.
With the exception Of the good game the
Georgetown pigskin chasers put up
against Columbia in New York, their per
fOrmauces have been nothing to brag Of
and they are looking TO this afternoon
to regain the confidence of the folloWers
Of the blue and grey standard.

THE MAINE LUMBER CAMPS.
Workmen Well Fed That They May
Do Wore Work.

Life in a Maine lumber camp. though by
no means the pleasantest method one
could choose for passing the winter, is
far from being the terrible thing which
may imagine. In the first place, practi-
cally all the lumber camps of today feed
their men much better than many of the
so-called hotels which are to he found in
rural communities Years ago salt pork
and baked beans formed the principal ar
ttcles of diet and there was little else be-
side. All that is changed now.
The average lumber operator realizes
that in order to do their best work his
crews must be properly fed. He reasons
that the more uourishing food they get
they more work they will do. and he sees
that they shall have nothing to complain
of In the way of -eatables. In nearly all
OF the camps four meals are served a day
breakfast, generally before daylight, a
luncheon of gingerbread and tea during
the forenoon. dinner in the middle OF
the day. and supper at night, when the
days work has been completed
The weeks menu nowadays generally
comprises fresh anad corned beef salt
fish, baked beans, preserves or prunes.
plenty of tea and coffee. At many of the
camps canned meats and vegetables are
also used TO a greater or less extent.
The baked beans which are served to
Maine lumbermen are famous al over the
United States. The beans are b; kcd in a
hole in the ground. are covered over with
Goals. and are allowed to cook for twenty
four hours or more. Most Of the woods
cooks are extremely proficient in cooking
beans in this manner, end the average
woodsman is extremely foLd OF them.
Perhaps the hardest single thing in the
life of the lumberman is the number of
hours in which he is actually at work
every day. At all well-re guiated camps
the men are aroused, given breakfast. and
started out in season to begin work at the
stump by daylight. From then until
darkness settles down into the woods
they are engaged in hard. muscle-strain-
ing work which. however. renders them
tough and as healthy as it is possible
for men to be. Few Of them are ever
heard to complain of the labor.
The peculiarity of Maine lumbermen,
and perhaps of lumbermen all over the
world, is that few of them save even the
smallest portion of their winters dages
when camp is broken and they get back
to civilization again. Ii has been so ever
since the numbering industry first was

YALE PRACTICES IN SECRET.
The Coaches Keep the Field Clear
of Spectators.

NEW HAVEN, Nov l5.-When the
Yale squad went to the field this after
noon for the final practice they found a
scene vastly in contrast to that of yester-
day More than ever before the coaches
were strict in keeping all spectators from
the field
In place of the 1500 yelling undergrad
yates who cheered them on yesterday
ground on which there are a number of
practice but scant dozen spectators, the
public in general having been given to
understand that there would be no open
practice.
Hard signal Practice.
The men were sent to the field AT 2:80
and spent half an hour in hard signal
practice. There was no tagging in the
woTk and any tendency by the players to
take matters easy was quickly squelched
by the coaches. a great deal Of atten-
tion was paid to the formation on the
kicks
De SaulIes will probably bear the brunt
of this work tomorrow, and to protect
him from the Tigers onslaught the
coaches have perfected a guard that they
think Will give him ample opportunity TO
get a free and careful delivery of the
bail.
Immediately after tle players left the
field the gridiron was covered with six
inches deep of straw. The indications of
rain or snow were too pronounced to war
rant any risk being taken, and everything
will he done to keep the ground in the
best possible condition.
