merely agents for some feminine
charmer, or charmers, and where the
criminal escapes the police and the
just results of his thefts he in turn
becomes the victim of the women
who infest concert halls and similar
resorts.
There was time when the Eng
lish were considered the most expert
in this branch of crime, but that is
no longer an existing condition. A
crowd of English crooks came to this
country a couple of years ago. They
got no further than New York, which
has the system of apprehending pro-
fessional crooks boiled down to a
fine art. This party included four OF
the wiliest and most skillful pick
pockets of London and the continent.
The New York police caught them
all, one after another, so rapidly that
they were dazed. The same kind of
performance occurred when a party
of German thieves landed in Phila-
delphia. The thieves were arrested
very quickly after they began op-
erations, one of them being caught
with seven watches on his person.
In the cases of most thieves who
ply their calling between New York
and Chicago and other of the larger
cities the process of making the de-
tectives acquainted with the criminals
makes it difficult for any well-knoWl
crook to be in the city any length
of time without being recognized and
watched For instance, at the Har-
rison Street station or the old cen
trail detail, now housed at the Des-
PLANES Street station, the criminals
and suspicious persons picked up dur
ing the night are held until morning
for scrutiny and possible identified
ton by the detectives, simple proc
ess that has for some time been in
vogue.
John Smith," for example, the in
spector, lieutenant or sergeant in
charge of the operations, would call
out in gruff, imperious tones: Hold
up your right hand" The individual

There is no class so up to date in

entrances"
To Smith was thereupon addressed an
inquiry as to who was his partner.
He pointed out another youthful but
rather more roughly dressed fellow
in the crowd. This "dipper' was or
dered over to stand beside Smith.
BY this process the detectives were
enabled not alone to fasten in their
memories the faces of the two Of
tenders individually, but to ASSOCIATE
them with each other, and in this
manner simplify the task of picking
them out in future.
Everybody brought into this cham
ber of sitting is photographed and
measured by the Bertillon system,
after which all hands are taken to
court to be turned loose by the va
rious police magistrates, many of
whom seem disinclined to hold pris-
oners of this type on vagrancy
charge or to remand them for further
examination with a view to adding
to their discomforts, and thus en-
couraging them to seek fresh fields
and pastures new. 1t is the aim and
purpose of all police orders that this
class be apprehended whenever and
wherever they turn up.
Some women engage in the work
of picking pockets, but that sex is
not so commonly found nowadays as
formerly. 1t used to be that such
women, when they were not en-
gagged in shoplifting, piled their vo-
! cation en- the street cais and other
crowded places, usually with male
companion. That was straight pick
! pocketing. The business is now done
! after dark, more often late at night,
| by women who accost drunken men
or unsophisticated strangers and back
! them up against fence or lead them
] into a vacant hall, ostensibly for con-
/ yersational purposes. Then they
! start in to fondle their victims, and
| it Is all over.
Some of these women are so very
clever that when they have sue
! ceedad in removing a mans bank roll
they manage to replace it with bun.

THE LIVE STOCK.

No blemished horse should be used
as a breeder.
Good horses cannot be produced
from inferior parents.
Hogs grown under cleanly conditions
make clean, wholesome pork.
Horse breeding should receive more
attention by the general farmer.
Pig pork is juicer, tenderer, healthier,
costs less and sells better than hog
pork.
Cleanliness is as necessary for the
health and well being of hogs as for
other animals.
Oats fed to hogs will produce bone
and muscle and will prevent sows from
getting too fat.
