first person she addresses when she gets
back to her place is the suspect. The de-
tective closely watches her, and draws his
own conclusions. =
''The autumn sales offer particularly good
scope to the shoplifter, because the cold
weather enables her to wear her big cape,
under cover of which she commits her
thefts as natural course. 1 expect you
know how they work? They hold up a gar
ment or fur In their right hand. and un-
der cover of it gently draw the stolen arti-
Gle of the counter with their left hand,
quickly secreting 1t under the cape. Shop
lffters work generally In twos and threes.
They never retain a stolen article. A slight
kick Of the foot is a signal for the confed-
crate next them to take it, and SO 1t is
gradually and cleverly passed to a woman
who is yards away from the counter, and
could not be accused of taking anything
from 1t.
IA shoplifter's cape is a truly wonderful
thing. and has as many pockets as poach-
er's coat. AS soon as shop thief gets
away with stolen property she gets rid of 1t

 Wheeling, w. Va. Sept 10. = Roosevelt by exclamation" This is the opinion soberly expressed by Unit ed States Senator Nathan B. Scott, and all the more important because Scott is friend of Senator Knox of Pennsylvania.
 Make up your nind," said Scott "that the people of this country are Roosevelt crazy. I find this wherever I go, and there is no use in discount ing it. I do not mean to say that the president is a candidate for second term. He has several times told me that he was not. I don't believe, how ever, that he can stop the tide that is running in the party.
 Senator Knox is a credit to the great state of Pennsylvania. He is one of the ablest men I know in pub lie life, and should he be the choice of the party would make a splendid presi- dent. I am fond of Fairbanks, Can non and Shaw, and especially fond of Taft. The voters, however, demand Roosevelt"
