Would Steal to Avoid Toll.

Philadelphia, Pa-"Rather than have
my daughter toll for her living 1 would
steal to support her." was the dra-
matte utterance of Mrs. Evelyn
Woods, Twenty-ninth street, and Myr-
tleWood avenue, when she and her 20
year-old daughter were arraigned be-
fore Magistrate O'Brien today to an
swer to a charge of shoplifting.
The woman, who was handsomely
attired in an ermine fur coat, and big
picture hat, patted her daughter on
the cheek as she addressed the mag
istrate.
With her daughter, she was arrested
in a Market street department store
by detectives, who declared the two
purloined more than $50 worth of caps,
waists and other wearing apparel.
Magistrate O'Brien, realizing tina.
the women came from a good family,
tried to aid them. but his solicitations
went for naught, as the women abso-
lutely refused to take any steps that
would lead to their release
They were held in 5000 bail each
for court.

Advocates Goats Milk.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 An English writer has been making a plea for the goat. He says:
 That goats milk is rich in butter fat is known to most people, and we'll sup ported by various analyses quoted in this book. There is no doubt that goats milk is notably rich both in pro- teid and fat, and that many children ,have thriven on it who have done poorly on the product of the larger animal. An other great point in her favor is that the goat is a much more cleanly animal than the COW, and that there is less chance of her milk being contaminated The fact that will surprise most readers, however, is the daily yield of a good milch nanny. Something over quart a day may be eX- peeted from a quite ordinary animal
 We are more concerned with the hy- gienic than with the economic aspect of goat keeping, but we may say that a good case is made out for the financial advan- tage of careful goat farming, even on the smallest scale. Much dissatisfaction is expressed by the author and many of the 24 goatkeepers who have attributed an appendix to the book with the prohibl- tion which the board of agriculture has placed on the import of goats, even for stud purposes R It is claimed that the strain is seriously appreciated in this country by the continual inbreeding caused by this order, and the English stock could be equally well protected from epizootic disease by system of quarantine"

however; he was on a boat going 150 per most of the time. But Elenor Benton not Glyn), knowing that Sanderson loved her. could not bear to know that San derson was a bad, wicked young man, going around robbng people, so the n- evitabe pressure 1the Frenchmen say al- ways look for the woman) was brought to bear, just when Sanderson was trying to sell the Projectie to the United States navy for a paltry $50O0. But, of course, when his sweetheart said do this and do that, like well broken young fellow he very promptly and properly obeyed. He gave-he refused to sell-the invention to the United States government, and the reader leaves the whilom pirate in Ele- nor's arms-or was it she in his arms at the end of this exciting book. Of course there is nothing heavy about the book, but it will kill time and the reader will finish it, which he will be tempted not to do with many books published these days. The book suggests. too, a great undeveloped field for invention. If any reader can invent a 150-mile-per-h r-hour sixth speed boat he not only can be a pirate and win his sweetheart. but get rich--if his sweetheart does not interfere. Cupids Pack of Cards, by Walter Pulit-
 ger. John W. Luce & Co.)
 MT. Pulitzer has taken pack or cards and a stack of chips and has given each card an epigram and saw for every chip MT. Pulitzer is quite cynical or pre- tends to be. The book is nicely, very prettily gotten up, illustrated profusely by Theodore Aulmann
 Mir. Pulitzer dedlcates his book as fol- lows. ITO my best friends, my ex-loves, this little book is reminscently inscribed"
 He has something to say about each card out of the g in the pack to say nothing of the joker. There are of course, four chapters to the book namely, Hearts, dealing with love. etc: Diamonds. dealing with engagements; Spades deal- ing with a few digs, and Clubs dealing with a few knocks in general. For in- stance the ace of hearts.

But most particularly does the book deal with the little nun, Sister Pascale' The descrip- tions of her life at Nems, in the hands and under the cruel treatment of her cousin and his inhuman son-well if any one wishes delightful piece of literature don't miss "The Nun"
 Rene Bazin simply states his facts and allows the reader to draw his own con- clusions. The author does not take sides between church and state, but he does show the injustice in individual cases when the nuns of France, great many of them, were thrown out of their nun neries and schools. The book is like all that Rene Bazln wrtes-splendid.
 "The Man Who Was Thursday-A Night
 mare" by c. K. Chesterton. tDodd,
 Mead & Co.)
 MT. Chesterton says his story is night mare. Whether he means that the hero of the story had a nightmore and dreamed all of the thinks of which we are told in the book or whether the book will be u nightmare to the readers? It must be the former, for the book, while of course. impossible necessarily, being a night mare" is very plausible and very inter- esting. .The Man Who Was Thursday" was a police detective attached to Scot land yard in London. He had been dele gated to watch the organized anarchists. This he proceeded to do, after he had been received into London's police force by a superintendent who held converse with him in a dark room, in order so the superintendent explained that no detec tive would know another or be aware of the head of the detective force. In a peculiar but most plausible way our hero, "Syme" attends a meeting of the anar- chists. Through a dramatic force of cir cumstances well explained, Syme was elected as a member of the supreme coun- cil of the anarchists. These members oe the council seven in all, had no names, they were designated by the names of the days of the week. the man owning the name of Sunday being the head of the council "Syme'' was made Thurs day" and all the rest of the week, in- cudng Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday had members in the council owning such cognomens. Syme at tends the first breakfast of the council immediately after his election as a mem Der. It was the endeavor of the anar chists under a new regime to so tall wildly that the police would decide tha no one who talked as these anarchist did would ever do anything. In a set 0 sketches it is shown how Syme, ''Th' Man Who Was Thursday discovers on after another of the members of tn council to be exactly what he was. name ly, a detective employed by Scotlan Yard.
