DRIVING IN LARCHMONT.
MANY OCCUPANTS OF SUMMER HOMES
THERE HAVE FINE HORSES.

After his wife and his children, the average
suburban resident is more interested in his
horses than any other factor in his pleasant
semi-country life. Some it is true, are wrapped
1lp in gardens. and few devote themselves TO
automobiles. but the true suburbanite loves his
horses. If he has none he is looking forward
to the time when he can afford the luxury.
If all is not well at the stables the owner is
yorried, and gives the trouble his personal at
tention. He would rather talk about his horses
than about the rise in land values or his latest
golf score. There is reason for it The horses
enter largely into the daily routine of his lie.

SELF-ACCUSED.
The Judge Came in for a Large Har-
vest of Fees.


Georgia has stringent law forbid
ding its citizens to carry concealed
weapons on pain of forfeiting the
weapons and paying fine of fifty dol
lars or being imprisoned for thirty
days. Soon after the passage of this
statute Judge Lester was holding court
in small town In the northern part of
the State, when he suddenly suspended
the trial of case and ordered the
sheriff to lock the doors Of the court
house. The New York Press tells
what followed.
"Gentlemen,' said the judge, when
the doors were closed, Il have just
seen pistol on man in this room,
and | cannot reconcile it to my sense
of duty to let such a violation of law
pass unnoticed. | ought, perhaps, to
so before the grand jury and indict
him, but if the man will walk up to
this stand and lay his pistol and
fine of one dollar down here | will let
him off this time"
The judge paused, and a lawyer sit
ting just before him got up, slipped his
hand into hip pocket, drew out neat
ivory handled slx-shooter and laid it
with Il dollar upon the stand.
This is all right" said the judge,
but you are not the man | saw with
the pistol"
Upon this another lawyer arose and
laid down revolver and a dollar bill
before the judge But the judge mere
ly repeated his former statement
The process went on until nineteen re-
yolvers, varied in kind, size and shape,
lay upon the desk, and beside them
nineteen dollars.
The judge laughed as he compliments
ed the nineteen delinquents upon being
honest men, but added that the man
whom he had seen with the pistol had
not come up, and glancing at the far
Their side of the room, he continued
Il will give him one minute to accept
my proposition. If he fails shall hand
him over to the sheriff"
Immediately two men at the rear of
the courtroom rose and moved toward
the bench. Once they stopped to look
at each other, and then, coming slowly
forward, laid down their pistols and
their dollars. AS they turned away the
judge said:
1.-The man with the black whiskers Is
the one that | meant In the first place"

A Thing of Grace.

Not all Italians are picturesque. but
the Italian who is, Is picturesque as can
be. He wears his SLOUGH hat, cheap.
ragged, and maybe mortar-staincd,
perhaps in the most fantastic forms,
with absolute unconsciousness, with
perfect naturalness of manner. 1t Is not
something studied for effect, but his
hat is picturesque and perfectly har-
monious part of his attire. He can turn
the brim at the front square back
against his head. leaving face and fore
head wholly exposed; or he can turn
il up at the side, or, for that matter, up
mt the back, and his battered old hat
will be jaunty and picturesque still and
absolutely becoming to him. And wear
ing his hat in that way is not the only
thing he can do picturesquely. lie can
carry a shovel so; and maybe he is the
only man living that can do that. You
will meet, going to their work. Italian

cord tied one end TO the handle near the
blade. the other end to the grip end Of

Dentist as a DETECTIVE.

II Paris Is prolific in producing
thieves, 1t also is most fruitful in ex-
pedients for catching them. DIR. Rous-
seau. dentist living In the Rue des
Martyres, has adopted novel and
amusing method. DR.. Rousseau and
his wife We're walking on the boulevard
a few days ago when Il young man
snatched a handbag containing money
and jewelry which madam was carry
ing. The dentist was unable to catch the
thief, but had time TO distinguish his
features, though he never expected to
see him again.
BY a curious coincidence, however
the thief came to the dentists a day or
two later to have his teeth attended to-
DIR. Rousseau, concealng his astonish
ment, asked him to take a seat. as II
would be necessary to take an impress
sion of the jaw. and this he Immediate
ly proceeded to do. When the dentist
considered that the plaster was sufi.
GENTLY solid he calmly explained to the
helpless thief that he was at his mercy
and had better follow him quietly to the
police station.
The man wildly gestlculated, but. find
ing that his wlde-open mouth was i'm
prisoned by solid block of plaster of

What Becomes of the Pins?

The pound is divided into quarter pound

regularly. AS the boxes cost % cents
each. the pin expense amounts to a
