eRside and Outside Thieves Ia the Big
Department. Stores. e.
The fixed charges Of department
store must cover the loss Of breakage
and general destruction, the failure
of goods to sell and theft. The cheap
or stores suffer more seriously from
thieving than the higher priced ones
because their employees are less trust
worthy. For years the proprietors es-
timated that their theft losses were
due half to their dishonest employees
and half to outsiders, but not one Of
them would venture to estimate the
total. There Is curious standard of
ethics among some of the employees.
They do not regard taking articles for
their own use as theft, whereas to
take them for some one else, even a
member of the family, is plain robbery.
Almost never are these guilty ones
prosecuted, even ii they are detected
and the proof is conclusive. They are
discharged, Of course, and notices are
posted In the dressing room explaining
the reason. But when an employee
steals goods to sell and is caught ar
rest follows. ssa..* '....j 5.n,.6 81
Professional shoplifters have been
largely eliminated owing to systematic
prosecution. By far the greatest mum.
her Of thefts committed by outsiders
are traced to women, usually reputable,
who yield to sudden temptation. Incl.
dentally the newspapers never name a
store in which person is arrested for
shoplifting for the simple reason that
1t would brighten away customers. A

that did large business was actually
ruined by the publication Of the details

"CIeveraFity."

There Is story that Charlotte
Bronte when a girl OF sixteen broke
out angrily at some one who said she
was always talking about clever peos
pie, such as Johnson and Sheridan.
''Now, you don't know the meaning of
clever" she said. Sheridan might be
clever scamps often are-but Johnson
hadn't a spark Of 'clsverality' in him.
That remark really gives the essence
Of Johnson and the key to the great
qualities Of his. work, for In his case
even more than in most the prose was
the man. Whoever wants "cleveral-
ity" had best leave Johnson alone. The
signal merit of Johnson's writings Is
that he always means what he says

Own Advantage. 49,
Much of the success of Colonel Mos
by and his partisan rangers in the
Shenandoah valley was due to their
dash and bravery, but an almost equal
amount to the quick wit of their
leader, who, says the author of "Mos-
by's Men," was never at loss to turn
a situation to his own advantage.
One night, while scouting with four
OK five of his men on the Winchester
pike, he saw a squad Of cavalry ap-
preaching from the direction of town.
It was the Federal patrol on its rounds,
and Mosby and his, men were between
them and their camp When they got
within hail they stopped and inquired
OF the Confederates who they were.
Friends; with the countersign," re-
piled Colonel Mosby, with his best imi-
tation Yankee twang. -.
zone of you advance, then. and give
the countersign,' was the response.
"No," said the colonel sharply, ''you
are coming from the direction of the
enemy. One of you advance"
AS this was an entirely correct propo.
sition, one of them rode forward
When he came up the colonel said to
him in a low but terribly distinct voice
as he leveled his revolver at him:
"Give the alarm and you are a dead
man! i am Mosby Call to the Others
that 1t Is all right and to come on"
The prisoner: did so, and FIVE more OF
Uncle Sans gallant defenders marched
confidently up to the muzzles of al
many reyolvers and quietly surren

COLORADO CADETS.
Six Colorado Boys to Be Sent to An

Washington.-A full half dozen Col.
orado boys will be taken into the Ma
val Academy at Annapolis this year to
be made into officers for the United
States navy. This is the largest num-
ber that has ever entered from Colo
rado in a single year, and it is partly
due to the fact that Senator Patterson
and Congressman Brooks each find
themselves with two places to fill ow-
ing to failures of candidates last year.
Senator Patterson's two principal
candidates in the coming eXamina-
tions are A. r. Stewart, Jr., of Pueblo,
and James Inglis Glendenning of Den
yer.
Congressman Brooks has designated
Arthur d. Connor of Colorado Springs
and Harrison Teller of New Windsor
nation, with various alternates scat
tered througout the state who will
qualify in case principals fail.
Congressman Bonynge announced
that he would designate midshipmen
candidates as follows:
Frank c. Hoddick, Denver, princi-
pal; Frank Dana Bartlett, Yuma, first
alternate; Charles Graham, Fort Col
Inns, second alternate.
Senator Teller also finds himself
with an Annapolis vacancy to fill. He
is at present engaged in the selection
of his principal and alternates. The
successful candidate will enter the
academy in June.

WHERE AppLEs ARE GROWN.
North America the Great Producing
Region Of the World.

The area OF the world devoted to
apple raising in the northern hemi-
sphere extends from Scandinavia on
the north to the mountain regions of
North Carolina and Tennessee on the
south. In the southern hemisphere
apples are raised in New Zealand and
Tasmania. but little success has been
obtained in Australia. Africa or South
America. North America is the great
ple-producing region of the world
and New York leads all the other
states in the quantity grown, although
there are many choice varieties pro.
duced in other states, particularly
Missouri. Oregon and Washington.
The soil and climate conditions must
combine to produce the finest fruit.
The annual aggregate product OF the
world is estimated at 100,O00.000 bar
rels, but not all of this is gathered, for
in seasons when the production Is
plentiful large quantities are fed to
cattle or allowed to rot on the ground.
and every season millions of bushels
of the less choice varieties and the
poorer fruit from the best trees are
turned into cider, which is used as 4
beverage and for making vinegar and
apple brandy.

journey "out West" and back East"
on the first trip of the Los Angeles

Expert Ocean Mail sorters.

One of the most interesting perform.
ances of modern times is the handling
of the mails in great ocean steam
ships. Some of the men become SO
expert at sorting that they work al
most automatically, many Of them be-
ing able to put their finger on any
particular town marked on the rack
blindfolded. On an ordinary western
trip they carry on an average about
250.000 letters and some 10000 regis
tered packets. The latter have all to
be written up in detail in their books
during the voyage, and this takes
more time than the actual sorting. The
officials do not always manage to fin
ish the work by the time they reach
port. and when such is the case they
accompany what is left to the general
post Office and complete the job there.
