Marketing I'm Paris,

Almost every woman in France does
her own marketing, and ladies take
their maid or cook along to carry
Nome their purchases.
l am speaking of the average house

the marketing to the cook, who deals
in stores which have regular deliver
les, while in very wealthy households

with his prerogative; of selecting and
ordering everything, and this able ere,

coupe to take him to the Halles, the
huge market that each day provil.es
the provisions for all of Paris and its

Servants love to go to market, for it
Is a custom with almost every store
keeper to give them a cent on every
franc spent, so you will find it next to
an impossibility to make your cook
deal where she does not receive her SOU

many will ask you, Does madame do
her own marketing?"-Good House

CRIMINALS ARE FATALlSTS.
No Matter How Often Captured, They
Stick to One Specially.

No Matter How Often Captured, They
Stick to One Specially.
Criminals seem to be the strongest
kind of fatalists," remarked Il judge
who is widely known as an authority
on criminology.
Il have noticed that when a criminal
is arrested after finishing one sentence
the second charge is generally the same
as the one which first got him into
trouble. 1t seems like a strange kind
Of fatality. Eve known instances
where one criminal has been arrested
and punished five or six times on
charges exactly the same.
what makes him do it? I'm mot
sure can explain it SATISFACTORILY toAat
l know it to be the case: 1t has~oc-
CURED to me, and possibly this is the
simplest explanation, that the reason
for a criminal adhering strictly to one
line of work is the same as the fas-
cination which holds a gambler to a
table although luck is against him.
Each failure or each loss shows the
victim a point which he has hitherto
been ignorant of, and it is easy to con-
vince himself that the next time he
will escape that mistake.
"And SO it goes-ever the next time
just one more chance, and then anoth-
er, ever confident that the luck must
change and that each turn of the wheel
leaves him just that much better equip
ped and that much more likely to win
finally. Then there is the desperation,
the unconscious and gritty determina-
ton to make a success of it.
IF he fails and Is arrested, convicted
and punished the process of the law
simply goes to show him wherein his
first job was bungling and poorly car
r1ed out. The first: feeling of reSigna-
ton that follows the bitterness of pun
ishment is when he tells himself that
next time he will not repeat the. error
which led to his detection on the pres
ent occasion. No sooner is he out of
the penitentiary than he essays again
to try his luck, this time carefully
avoiding the mistake which first
brought him to grief
1T is we'll known fact that no
criminal, no matter how expert or how
daring, can cover up all his tracks.
The very best crook will leave at least
one loophole, will commit at least one
error, which eventually fastens the
guilt upon him. The poorer criminals
leave clews according to their skill Or
experience. So our ina ginary crook,
the second time he plans a job, while
he carefully avoids a repetition of his
first error, is almost sure to make some
other one, and so on. each succeeding
crime and. detection pointing out to
him the fines Of his weakness, so that
he is irresistibly led onward to his de
struction.'-DetFoit Tribune.

PREVENTS CONTROL BY FACTION
When Move Was On Foot to Give AL.
exander Control of Equitable by
Legislative Action He Prevented
Bills Being introduced.

6lIIS Seln0 introduced.
New York, Dec. he. H. Harri-
man before the insurance investiga.
ton today said he was instrumental
in preventing bills from being intro
duced in the legislature to aid one
faction in the Equitable to get control
OF the society.
1t has been openely charged" said
Mr Hughes, that you get your polit-
ical influence through your relations
with Mr.. Odell."
Il should say that Mr. Odell gets
ais political influence through his rela-
tions with me-" responded Mr.. Harri-
man.
Mr.. Hartman said that when
move was on foot to give the control
of the Equitable to James w. Alexan-
der and his friends by means of legis-
lative action at Albany he wired GER
tain persons at Albany to keep aim
Informed as to the progress such pro-
Ceedings might make.
Asked who these persons at Albany
were, Mr.. Hartman requested that he
be excused from answering. He said
he did not want TO answer because ne
did not want to give occasion for SEN
sational newspaper headlines. The
committees counsel, Mr.. Hughes, re
tired for consultation.
Mr.. Hartman said he would like
to consult counsel before replying
The committee decided, however, that
he should answer and he did so, say
ing that the persons from whom he
had requested the information were
Governor Higgins and the late Speaker
Nixon of the assembly. Mr. Hartman
said he learned of the sale of fle
Hyde stock on the day that Mr.. Ryan
bought it. He telephoned to Mr.. Ryan
and asked him if he had bought it.
Ryan said the purchase was con-
ditional,' said Mr.. Hartman, 'and that
ne wanted to see me and talk with
me and that he wanted my help.
criticised his plan and wanted to know
what he meant by it. Ten or Is min
utes later l went to Mr.. Ryan's office
He told me he had decided to buy the
stock and said it was time for him to
make name for himself He said he
had decided to buy Hyde's stock pro
vided ne could get his nominee elect
ed chairman of the board He said he
had made a great deal of money and
never had done anything to make
name for himself. I questioned his
motive. He had told me he wanted
my help; that l was the one man in
New York whose help he desired"
What kind of help?" asked Mr.
Hughes, counsel for the investigating
committee.
"'To help him get his nominee elect
ed chairman of the board" replied Mr.
Hartman.
Asked on what ground he. had crit
icised Mr.. Ryan's plan, Mr. Hartman
replied:
We'll, it was rather staggering to
anybody that Ryan wanted to control
the Equitable or should have control
of it."

CHINESE LABORERS
SHOULD Be EXCLUDED

He Also Says That the Government

act Justice-immigration Depart
ment Acted Rarshly.

San Francisco, Dec. 15.-Respond-
ing TO communications from the Mer.
chants Exchange of San Francisco,
President Roosevelt mas written let
ter in which he expresses his views
concerning the Chinese boycott of
American goods and also the exclusion
laws. The president writes that this
government might do justice as well
as exact justice; that Chinese la
borers should be excluded, but that the
exempt classes of Chinese should be
treated courteously If the exclusion
laws need to be amended American
merchants must exercise their infiu
ence for amendment, the president
says.
the president adds that the imini-
grafton department has acted with tle
utmost narslness toward the Chinese,
the fault resting mainly with mistaken
public opinion
In regard to the Chinese boycott of
American goods, the president says
tnat everything in his power and that
Of the state department has been done
to stop the boycott.
Anything further" he continues,
must be done by our own representa-
tives in the senate and house by way
of making sucn changes in the ex-
clusion law as to prevent the injustice
and humiliation to which the Chinese
who do not belong to the Coolie class
have been subjected to in this coun-
try"
The Merchants Exchange held a
meeting and gave prompt acquiescence
to tne presidents views by adopting
resolutions favoring such amendments
to the exclusion laws which would
cause them to form what the chief
executive deemed right and just.
