A Rural Police.

Tho numerous murders and other
grave crimes committed 10 the cities
OF this country or In the environs Of
cities call attention to the need OF a
more efficient police system. AS a
rule, the perpetrators OF the boldest
crimes escape at least for the time.
Ultimately detection and arrest are
perhaps brought about through acci-
dent or confession There seems to be
a want Of terror in the very idea that
there In an alert police. wrongdoers
count upon getting away. and too often
they succeed. The boy who enticed
bis aunt out on the railroad track
across the river from New York to
murder and rob her knew there were
no police there, as there we're in the
city park where the deluded woman
wanted 70 so for an airing. There
were no police near the pond where
a New York woman was murdered re-
Gently a few miles from the scene Of
the EbeFhard crime. The country road
passing the lake where Hazel Drew's
body was found was free OF police sur
velllance.

that the state board Of equalization

hunting proclivities OF the fair sex,
incidently duplicating that men are
superior as shrewd shoppers. / hesi-
tate the blast SO fond an illusion, yet
the recitation of single instance,
pointed out to me by the buyer Of
big New York department store, will
serve to prove that men are the orig
inal easy maks when they go shop
ping.
Are men more successful shop
pers than women" smiled the buyer
to whom l had addressed the ques-
ton. We'll, not so you could notice
It. Here's an example," he said,
pointing out in an advertisement OF
the store the following cryptic de-
scription Of a feminine garment:
Made of best quality muslin, wide
umbrella rufrle, deep hem and three
embroidered tucks, specially priced
at 20 cents
The buyer continued: 1--WE have
in stock similar garment for men,
containing no more nor no better
material and costing not SO much
in the workmanship. Yet it sells
regularly for 75 cents, and is never
priced below SO cents
Responding to my qestion as to
the reason for this unjust disparity
in prices, he said:
There isn't any reason, except
that the manufacturers of mems gar
ments charge more because the men
are easy marks and will stand for it.
If women were regular patrons of
saloons. do you think they would pay
8 cents for little swig of whiskey
that costs less than fourth OF that
sum? Not for a minute. Every
thing that is sold exclusively to men
commands a higher price than it
would If women were also it's pur-
chasers. Men shrewd shoppers?

All of which is illuminating, II
not exactly calculated to add to
masculine conceit.
A just Judge.
There is at least one Judge in
New York, and he has rendered a
decision which must be hailed with
delight throughout the country, as
establishing righteous precedent.
Can man be legally forced to
pay for cup of coffee which con-
tains of pestiferous flyG Answer:
He can not. So says the law, as
interpreted by the just Judge afore-
said.
1t was highly indignant restau-
rant proprietor who appeared in POI
lice court and accused a well-dressed
young man of larceny in failing to
produce nickel for a cup of coffee
the later had ordered. Questioned
by the magistrate, the grub dispenser
admitted that a fly had fallen into
the coffee after 1t had been served.
but declared volubly that 1t wasn't
his fault and that he was not sup
posed to protect customers from in
Quisitive insects.
Then the culprit was heard in de-
tense, He alleged that he would
have entered no objection If only one
modest, well-behaved ny had used his
coffee cup as swimming pool. He
asserted, however. that no less than
three had taken a dip into the surf
at his expense and that he entered
strenuous objection to maintaining a
miniature Coney Island for the bene-
At of the restaurant proprietOr's in
seets.
The objection was maintained by
the Judge and the accused walked
forth free man. And the learned
and just judge has earned the re-
spect OF all honest men. except
restaurant proprietOrs.
