NOTHING TOO SMALL to STEAL.

City Merchant Complains Of the
Prevalence of Dishonesty.
'The old saying that nothing is too
small to steal is exemplified In our
business" said a manufacturer Of
custom-made clothing. Our thread
gives us lots Of trouble. We have to
keep a wetchful eye upon 1t. The
case in which it is kept Is under the
supervision Of our most trusted EN-.
ploye. If he chose to be dishonest
he could rob us Of $1,000 a year and
we would be Done the wiser. We
would, perhaps, notice that we were
using more thread than usual, but
the excess might be attributed to
other causes.
I'VE have to check out every spool
We give to our tailors. Even at this
we are In danger of having a cheaper
grade substituted. The difference In
the price Of the spools may be only
one or two cents, but it offers temp.
tation If the scheme can be worked
on large scale. Some years ago
we were forced to the conclusion that
q fence was being operated to dis.
bose of stolen thread. The spools
were sold by peddlers from house to
house. This suspicion caused large
establishments to have each spool
stamped with dyes which cut into the
wood, stating that the thread was
stolen from such and such a shop,
the name Of which was stamped on
the SPOOL" t,s-

Underwater Virginia." said Mr.. p.
[. White OF Lancaster, Va. at the
Shoreham recently, els the most dc.
lightful and wonderful country In the
world. Everything that heart can wish
or the appetite can fancy Is produced
from the fertile fields and the great
rivers that traverse them on their way
to the bay. Nothing ever surpassed

iiamond-back terrapins. i.
"rhe terrapin farming" he contin.
ued, ''is q remarkable business and
very lucrative. But 1t requires large
outlay Of capital and q great deal OF
labor. Each owner OF 'fArm'-as the
little water front fenced in for the
purpose is called-zealously guards his
domain and resents the slightest en-.
croachment by neighbor or stranger.
And curious thing about 1t Is that
these men engaged In the business
have learned to know their own terra,
pins by the expression Of their faces.
Not long ago a negro boy was arrested
In one of the lower counties in the
Rappahannock river for stealing
diamond back. and he was convicted
upon the testimony of the owner, who
swore point blank that the said ter.
rapin was his, and was stolen from
his farm because he recognized the
aforesaid terrapin by its individual
expression of countenance, which he
had studied for years.
"He stated also that all his terra.
pins had the same smile and gentle
look out Of the quiet eyes; that he
would know them ct once anywhere
among all the terrapins Of the world.

Curse on ZborowskI Family Finds
Another Victim.
That Elliot Zborowski, who was
killed on Tuesday in an auto accident
at Nice, died as he did, will be no sur
prise to those In this city who
remember him as the greatest dare
devil New York and Newport society
ever had. Even Foxhall Keene, who
has had half the bones in his body
broken, was not the equal to this
American count for his wild. reck'
less disregard for life. He was borr
in this city Of long line Of Zborow
skis.
Strangely enough, bis death is In
keeping with the traditions OF his
family, for none OF the male members
ever dies in bed. Back of this re-
markable circumstance is tale OF a
curse four generations ago launched
at the head Of the great-grandfather
Of Elliot Zbcrowski by an Irish lord,
who, in his anger. called upon hea-
ven to prevent any male Zborowski
from ever dying in his bed.
None has since. Elliot's father was
stricken with paralysis and died in
his chair before. the son could ride
for physician. One of his uncles,
Elliot, was killed by New York,
New Haven & Hartford train. An
other, Francis, was drowned IN 6
Williamsbridge pond. Still another
member Of the family was killed by
being thrown from a horse, and SO
the story has gone. Now comes the
