NEW YORK, December 2s.-"An old

no matter how hard he may be trying to
live on the level"
Ihls is the succinct explanation given
out by Detective James REYNOLDS of
Brooklyn police headquarters for the fall
of Louis Wolff, a rug manufacturer of
east New York. who is now in RAYMOND
street jail under a charge of having
picked pocket. Headquarters has Sc

Interested in the case of Louis Wolff be-
cause 1t was he who had arrested the rug
manufacturer several weeks ago, charg-

on a Myrtle avenue car. and subsequently,

friends to prove his responsibility, Rey-

ne had been mistaken. wolff was then
paroled into the hands of friends, under
5000 bond. At the time of his arrest
Wolff brazenly told the headquarters de-
tect1ves that he was willing that they
should take his photograph and send it
anywhere. He would abide by the con-
sequences. There are a good many people
in east New York who cannot yet bring
themselves to believe that the respectable
and affable man whom they had come to
know as Louis Wolff, the manufacture of
rugs and textiles at Fulton and Bradford
streets, is an old offender with a record
in the middle west.

Caught on a Car.

About year and half ago Wolff
appeared in East New York and set up
in business. He became acquainted
with many prominent people in the dis
trict, and he was a frequent visitor at
their homes Many games of bridge and
pinochle that were arranged for Satur-
day evening always had Wolff at one
corner of the table. He paid his debts,
stood his stint at the round Of drinks
and was all in all a good fellow ". as the
term is known in East New YORK.
About two weeks ago Wolff, who was
riding on Myrtle avenue car, suddenly
jumped off while the car was in motion
near Hamburg avenue. A cry of Pick
pocket followed him off the car. and a
crowd of people piled off to give him
chase. When a policeman halted Wolff
one of the. passengers of the car hurried
up to accuse him of having lifted $50
who was put on the case, was convinced
that Wolff had picked the pocket, and
he appeared in Magistrate. OReilly' S
court to accuse the rug manufacturer
of the crime. Many OF the prison err S
friends from East New York we're also
present to vouch for him, and we'll
known physician from that section of
the town plead with the court that the
prisoner be released on parole.
The magistrate was convinced that a
mistake had been made and accepted the
his release, Wolff had been measured and
"mugged' at police headquarters. He had
told the police that he came~from Chi
cago, and that he once lived in st. Louis.
Accordingly the picture of the man was
sent to the police of these two cities.

'aThou was gone long he began.
The sculptor ipterposed-
"She hath Gone Iae service, and It
was my pleasure to talk With her." he
said complacert;y CA:de her not"
The glow from taa ire lighted the
young mans face, and the taskmaster,
standing in deep shadow, scanned 1t
sharply. but did not answer. Kenks-
nes turned and strobe away down the
valley.
Rachel snatched a thick sycamore
club which had been left over in the
construction of the scaffold and ran
after him. But the young sculptor had
disappeared in the dark.
"Kenkenes," she cried at last des-
perately. he answered Immediately.
She slipped of the mantle.
This, thy MANTLE" she said when
he approached, "and this,' thrusting
the club into his hands. There Is as
much danger in the valley for thee as
for me-" And like shadow she was
gone
AS ne hurried on again through the
dense gloom Of the ravine the young
man thought long on the Israelite and
her words. She had offered him the
cries that peremptorily conradicted
the accepted idea among Egyptians
that Moses was inspired by a personal
motive Of revenge. The argument put
forth by his father began to show
sundry weaknesses. Furthermore, Ra-
chefs version gave him much covet-
ed opportunity to slip from his shoul-
ders the discomforting blame that had
rested there since he had heard thas
miscarried letter might effect q nation
al disturbance. Much as the practical
SIDE Of his nature sought to decry the
great Hebrews motive, a sense Of re
lief possessed him.
81 fear me, Kenkenes, thou durst not
boast thyself an embroiler Of nations,'
he said to himself. 'HThe Hebrew
prince Is zealot, and zealots have no
fear for their lives. Truly those Is
raelites are an uncommon and a proud
people. But, by Besa, is she not beau
tiful!''
He enlarged on this latter thought at
such exhaustive length that he had
traversed the valley and field, found
his boat, crossed the Nile and was at
home before he had made an end

1t Pays to Be Polite.

It does not cost anything to be po-
lite to your friends and acquaintanees,
and incidentally it goes long way
| toward making life pleasant for your.
SELF
A civil answer makes more friends
than gruff one and a smile succeeds
when a frown fails.
We have no right to impose our
| little tenpe-s and annoyances On oDr
fellow-beings.
The fact that one person annoys
us does not Justify US in visiting it
on the next person we meet.
And yet that is what a great many
of us do. One trivial annoyance often
upsets US for the whole day.
Some people have the happy knack
of showing courtesy to everyone with
whom the come in contact.
1t is delightful quality and one
which brings its possessor great pop
ularity.
Abruptness is hard fault to cure,
and yet it can be done.
You see, it is so easy to hurt peo-
pies feelings by speaking abruptlS
to them.
1t may be done quite unintention-
ally, but nevertheless the fact re-
mains that. it is done.
And the funny thing about it is
that those who are most given to
hurting others are generally very cas-
lily hurt themselves.
The quickest way OF curing habit
is by never forgetting that you are
curing it.
If You are inclined to be brusque,
abrupt and harsh-spoken you must
keep the one thought constantly on
your mind
Underneath all that you are doing
must run the refrain: 81 must be
pleasant; must be courteous. =
Good Business.

How often doyou hear these signi-
fcant expressions from wom n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkham of Lynn. Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's LIS,
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
Euglist. language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits. reluctance To
90 anywhere, backaches, headaches
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
Irregularities are the bane OF woman S
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia z. PINK.
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for greater number OF
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives OF
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia z.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this:
