Clever Trick Of Tramp

A queer comedy OF cheating Is now
causing much amusement in Paris.
A laborer named Bedasne. living at
KNOXVILLE, in the Eure ct Loir. went
TO Melun with two pounds in his
pocket. Having spent this in liquor,
he conceived the idea OF getting on
to Paris for nothing.
Finding an empty third-class COM
partment. he fastened a flannel belt
round his neck, stuffed handkerchief
into his mouth, pitched his empty
purse onto the opposite seat and. ly-
Ing down. first had a sleep and then.
when Paris was reached. refused to
give any sign OF life till the alarmed
station stan poured a cordial into his
mouth.
Then he was taken TO a hospital.
where he told a story OF being at.
tackled by three men. but police ques-
tons becoming too difficult. he at
last related his stratagem, and was
hailed from his sick bed to prison

the corral bars. She had never real
lied how old her father was. how weak,
and small. and bent, until she saw him
beside this erect young fellow. Her
heart went out TO the older man with
n new sympathy as she saw his feeble
ness so sharply In relief against the
well.bloOded, hard-muscled vlgor Of the
younger. When she would have passed
them, her father called to her.
Prudence, this Is Mr. Ruel Follett.
He will stay with us tonight"
The sombrero was on again and she
felt the blue eyes seeking hers, though
she could not look up from the ground
when she had given her little bow.
She heard him say:
II already met your daughter, sir, at
the mouth of the canyon"

might be-to the east and south she
gathered. He had grown up in that

about everything but The precise ma.
ture of his errand in the valley.
In her walks to the canyon she
thought much OF him when he had
gone. She could not put his face into
the dream because he was too real and
immanent. He and the dream would
not blend, even though she had de-
cided that his fresh-cheeked. clear
eyed face, with its clean smile and the
yellow hair above II was almost better
TO look at than the face OF the youth
In the play. II was not so impalpable;
II satisfied. So she unused about them
alternately, the dream and the GENTLE
taking perhaps a warmer interest In
the latter for his aliveness, for the
grasp Of his hand at parting. which
she. with establishment, had felt her
own hand cordially returning.
For two weeks they heard nothing
OF the wandering Gentle. and Pru.
dence had begun to wonder II she
would ever see him again; also to
wonder why an uncertainty la the mat.

But one evening early In June they
saw him walking up In the dusk, the
light sombrero. the scarlet kerchief
against the blue woollen shirt, the
holster with It's heavy Colts revolver
Mt either hip, the easy moving figure.
and the strong, yet boyish face.
He greeted them pleasantly. though.
the girl thought. with some restraint.
She could not hear Il In his words. but
she felt Il In his manner, something
suppressed and deeply hidden. They
asked where his horse was and he re,
piled with curious air OF embayrass-
ment:--

though they still kept a few wagon

Witty Smiles.

"a scheme to enable the wealthy to
spend several hundred pounds for dia-
monds and dresses in order to raise
few hundred pence for the poor" is not
a bad hit at a charity ball.
A comedy has been wittily likened
to a cigar. If it's good, everyone wants
a box; If It's bad, no amount Of putting
will make it draw.
A youngster who saw a steamer for
the first time exclaimed: Look

A reporter is said to have once asked
John Jacob Astor If it were true that
he had q automobiles, 5 chauffeurs, So

interrupted:
statistics are always dry, stupid
and even irritating. Let me tell you q
story Of a temperance exhorter who
while In the suburbs, found a man ly.

ed face and tousled hair. He touched
him with the foot to rouse him and
said in a voice full Of gentle reproach

have $7,S16,472?
''The red-faced man lifted up his
head, brushed the place where the 9th
er's foot had touched him and replied !:
No. I haven't worked that out, but
I'm something of a statistician myself,
and If you don't go back 119 feet in z

PARIS TO HAVE POLICE DOGS.
Four Black CANNES Constitute the
Brigade Now Training.

Four Black CANNES Constitute the
brigade Now Training.
AS soon as the dog police is In per
feet working order, if you happen to
be guilty of q misdemeanor yon viii
hear, "Arretez au nom dun chem r. II
you are wise you will ''arreter," says
the New York Herald's Paris edition.
Job, BlacE>> Due and Dick constitute
the dog briga02 Of the Neuilly and
Paris police force, All of them are
black, and thus suited for night work,
which is their speciality At present
they are stationed at police headQuar-
ters in Neuilly and are being trained
for general use, and particularly for
clever sleuth work in the Bots de
Boulogne.
The dogs are not yet full-fedged Do-
licemen, hence they are still being
taught the essentials of their munici-
pal duty and are making satisfactory
progress. Several times a week they
are taken to an Enclosure in NeUilly, eS-
pecially engaged for the purpose, where
four of the local peace officers teach
and direct them in the work of being
clever and discreet thief catchers.
The scheme in the training is that Of
teaching the dogs to obey and carry out
the intelligence of their masters In
catching evildoers of all kinds. Ac-
cordingly the dogs are made to answer
pl omptly the word OF command. They
must follow or go ahead, start, stop,
attack, desist, watch, search or remain
at rest.
In their very natures they are Eat
tackers,'' and when they are given the
command "Attaque!" they start for
their prey with positive relish. For
experimental purposes an Apache" has
been engaged, and his name is Boa
Iogne. AS matter of fact, Boulogne
is a law-abiding, peaceable citi-
zen, but, in the manner the dogs are
trained to regard him, he is anything
on the outlaw category from horse
thief to an assassin. Thus the dogs
have their eyes on him all the time and
await orders to pounce on him.
