Men and Women.

Men lie more about big matters;
women about trivial affairs. A man
may lie about his business schemes,
but he Is Incapable of buying a suit of
clothes at a cheap place, taking off
the tag and sewing on the mark Of a
swell tailor; that's woman's trick,
A man may lie about politics-there
have been instances-but never about
a dab of powder on the end Of his
nose.
Many men consider 1t perfectly
legitimate to lie to women. They
look upon women as mere puppets
created for their diversion. They do
not credit them with brains or hearts.
And so they lie to them-early and
often. They lie about everything, but
especially about their love.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
for liar to say: 81 love you"
Wise is the woman who takes that
declaration not too seriously. For II

Detectives on Wall Street.

One of the most important details
IN the mechanism of Wall street is its
elaborate system of detective protec
ton. A very effective dead line has
been established at Fulton street for
years, beyond which no crook known
to the police nor even a suspicious
looking person Is allowed to pass. As
an additional precaution a score or
more of central Office detectives are
constantly on guard at the principal
entrances to the financial district
They usually congregate near the
United States treasury building at
Broad and Wall streets. Millions OF
dollars are constantly being carried
past this point. The money comes
in gold, packed in sacks and carried
by the ton in steel wagons. 1t IL
