STOLE FRom a THIEF.

IT HE HERALD strongly believes thar
1 ali who violate the law should nav
the penalty, but it cannot refrain from
chuckling just a trife over the escape
of some New York thieves. This
ground is taken on the principle that
1t isn't so very wrong to steal from a
thief The matter comes up in this
wise:
The proprietor OF a number of big
pool rooms in New York. pool room
being a place. where one bets money ON
horse races, found THAI he was losing
money steadily and in large amounts.
He marveled greatly thereat, for he
was doing a tremendous business. and
your gambler who does a tremendous
business usually makes a tremendous
profit lie does this because he
wouldn't be a professional gambler If
be didn't start in with more than q
shade the better Of the player.
This proprietor, by means Of private
detectives, finally discovered the leak.
He was being robbed by his own en-
ployes by q very simple system. They
made out a false betting sheet each
Day. If the false bets were shown by
the race returns 10 be the winning bets.
the ''phony" sheet was turned in and
the cash gathered thereon. If the real
betting sheet contained the winning
bets the people who put up their mon
ey were permitted to win.
II was the cleanest kind Of 3
case OF 'heads I win. tails Won
lose" Tor the proprietor was bound
to lose IN any state Of the case,
while the clerks. without wagering a
cent, We're sure either 10 win heavily OF
lose nothing. And the best part of the
story is that under the laws Of New
York the outraged and defrauded pro-
prietor has no recourse except to dis
charge the clerks, which has already
been done.

FEED The BRUTE"

NJ RS. EDWARD A. BIGELOW. the
VI Chicago woman who achieved
fame through her advocacy Of the old
principle. that the way to mans heart
lies through his stomach. has come 10
the front again. She is still promuIgat-
ing her old doctrine and declares she
has applied It with eminent success II
a recent lecture Mrs. BigelOw said:
"a man would rather have a we'll
turned lamb chop than kiss any day.
The modern wife pays too much atten-
ton to Shakespeare and Browning. She
pays too little to the cook book III
laying out the scheme of domestic hap
piness it does not do 10 wander far from
the original proposition: Feed the
brute. and forgive him. i is
a law Of nature and it Is still IN force. "
While NE do not agree with Mrs.
Bfgelow that a man would rather have
a nicely cooked lamb chop than a kiss
any day, we are inclined to look with
favor upon well cooked lamb chops
Also kisses. A wise old philosopher said
that a kiss IS like creation. because it IS
made OF nothing and God knows it's
good. So are lamb chops good. The
man who expects to live on kisses
alone is going TO lie before his time.
The man who tries to live on lamb
chops alone viii get mighty tired Of
lamb chops but he viii keep on living
until he is ashamed to look a lamb in
the face.
1t would be extremely hard TO get
along without either lamb chops or
kisses, meaning lamb chaps in the sense
of good food generally and kisses IN the
sense of love and demonstrations Of
love. A well ordered household is the
surest promoter of connubiaI felicity,
but thtre can be no real happiness IN
any household unless husbanj AMI wife
love each other and tcH each other 50
every little while.
So, Mrs. Bigelow, ie YOU please.
nla'am, wen take 10th lamb chops and
kisses in ours.

The twenty-seventh anniversary OF
the Ladies Literary club was cele-
brated yesterday in d new manner, the
event being probably the most brilliant
social affair ever undertaken by the
club members. A breakfast, at which
100 were seated, was a great deal of

matter in charge, but the manner in
which it went through reflected great
credit on every member of 1t.
The club room had been darkeued
and decorated with the club colors of
white and green and the long tables
with their crystal candlesticks hold
ing white candles presented a brilliant
sight. The main table was In the form
of a Maltese cross. the ends of which
extended, toward the four corners. Four
smaller tables were placed in the an
gles thus formed, and all were deco
rated with the white and green. From
the central chandelier hung a shower
Of white carnations and asparagus pig

mound of the same. Sprays Of the plu-
mOsa graced the central portion Of each

was served, ana as the dessert course

HAREA's LITTLE Plan.

pCMORS THAT SENATOR HANNA.
N in spite OF his protestations to the
contrary, is a candidate for the Repub-
hcsn presidential nomination are per-
sistent in Washington and elsewhere.
Senator Hanna has said everything by
way OF denial in tbs connection except
that he would not accept the nomina-
ton If it should be offered him. And
ne isn't going TO say anything Of that
SORT because he knows ne would accent
the nomination if it should come his
way.
A dispatch from Washington to The
Herald. published yesterday, tells of
the general belief in washington that
senator Hanna is planning an anti
Roosevelt coup for the eve OF the con-
Nention. TO this end it is alleged that
ne IS bending his energies toward Sc
curing unpledged delegations in the va
rioUs states. When the convention has
been assembled the Hanna managers
propose TO stampede il for their can
didate.
The possibility Of hitch in this pro-
gramme il quite apparent The Hanna
men may as well make up their minds
right now that the friends of Roosevelt
viii look upon every candidate for del
egate who refuses to pledge himself
To Roosevelt as a Hanna man. No half
way measures are possible. The dele
gates viii be either instructed for
Roosevelt or, uninstructed, they will
be for Hanna just as strongly as if
they were instructed directly for him.
Senator Hanna is reported TO have a
campaign fund amounting to SO, 600. 600.
II this is true he viii have TO use a
good deal OF the money before the con-
vention if he makes any showing there
at all. Money is a very powerful agent
il conventions and elections. but we
very much doubt if Senator Hanna
could muster money enough TO win that
presidential nomination.
we are like TO see the finish of SEN
ator Hanna before many months. Tn
less he is nominated for the presidency
his seat in the next campaign viii be
farther back than it has been for a
number of years. He viii not be chair
man of the national committee. and In
the event Of the election of President
Roosevelt, he wiz not be a recognized
power in the next administration.
