KIeptonaniacs.

AS to the moral responsibility of
so-called 'kleptomaniacs, you will find
experienced detectives who hold wide
ly divergent opinions on the subject.
Some are convinced that many women
steal simply because they cannot resist
the temptation to obtain something for
nothing Certainly many women steal
articles for which they have no use
and who are so well off financially that
there is no need to steal. Others hold
the opinion that a thief is a thief
whether she be a woman in no actual
need or one who steals as q means of
living without working. Certain it Is
that many an alleged kleptomaniac has
been checked in the course which soon

quick to take in such Il situation,
knowing the identity of the men or

man near the store to whom the female
detective would appeal. The arrest of
q Shoplifter never is made inside the
store If it can be avoided, and for two
reasons, one being the probability of a
scene being created, which is to be
avoided, while the likelihood of the
case against the shoplifter sticking

greater if he or she is found with the
stolen goods in their possession out

are unobtrusive in manner and appear

thing desired in that work. Then they

suBsCRlPTloN..-s5.oo PER ANNuA
the "numAN" MAN.

Minneapolis Star: We always
like to see a man drive up to the
curb these winter days, jump out of
his rig, unfold a big farm blanket
and carefully cover his faithful horse.
There is big heart in that man.
He is thinking of something else be-
sides himself, and he takes as much
pleasure in caring for the horses
comfort as for himself. On the
other hand it makes US sad to see a
great big man, warmly clad from
head to foot, drive a steaming horse
up to the, curb hastily tie him fast,
leave him shivering and make for
the nearest hot stove. There is
something wrong about this fellow.
He may be nice man, belong to
church, may not swear, smoke, nor
have any bad habits, but he has no
feeling for a dumb animal and no
idea of economy,

CIVIL WAR BREAKS
OUT IN VENEZUELA
Adherents Of Castro Clash With
/ Supporters Of Gomez

Port Of Spain, Trinidad, Dec. 81
There has been fighting at Maeuro, on
the Venezuelan coast, between ad-
herents of former President Castro
and the crew of gunboat working in
the interests of the new president,
Juan Vicente Gomez. About twenty
men were killed and some fifty wound
ed. The Gomez party was obliged to
withdraw temporarily, but later re-
turned to renew the engagement. This
news was brought in here by the
Miranda, the gunboat in question.
The Miranda left La Guayra for
Gacuro with men on board who we're
to take the places Of the officials there
Tho had been serving under Castro.
Before the Miranda arrived off Ma
euro General Torres had gotten to-
gether about five hundred men and
was prepared to resist landing. The
Miranda cleared and went into action.
Under cover of her battery the men
on board tried unsucoessfully to ef-
feet landing. The fighting lasted
about four hours.
When the captain of the Miranda
saw the situation was impossible he
withdrew and came to Port of Spain.
A dispatch was at once sent to Pres
tdent Gomez, via Curacao, informing
him of the situation.
As soon as this news became known
In Port Of Spain a large contingent of
the Venezuelan colony volunteered to
help the government and the Office of
the Venezuelan consul was besieged
by men anxious to return to Macuro.
"A number of the volunteers were &C.
oepted and went on board the gum
boat, which at once started back for
&acuro, where the engagement will
be continued.

M6sSlNA BADLY SCoURGED
Tidal Wave and Fire Follow the
Tremors Of Earth. !. !.

Rome, Dec. 8 THE extent Of the
appalling calamity in Southern Italy
and the island of Sicily cannot yet be
srasped. The earthquake wrecked
city after city and obliterated smaller
towns and villages without number.
Then a tidal wave swept along the
Strait of Messina and added to the
horror, drowning the people in their
hslplessness and panic. Fire came to
complete the work of destruction.
Flames broke out in the devastated
cities and countless numbers of
wounded mon, women and children
were burned to death.
Any adequate estimate of the total
casualties is as yet quite impossible,
but the Rome Tribuna places the num-
Der at between sixty and seventy thou
Sand.
The horror and destructiveness of
this visitation probably will exceed
that of any earthquake in Italy since
1888, when 10000 persons persisted at
Messina alone.
Reports of heavy loss of life are
coming in every hour from nearly
every city, town and village in the
stricken zone and the story in it's de-
tail has only begun to be told. The
horror grows as further reports come

Mount Etna, the volcano on the

The work of rescue is being pushed
forward with every possible energy.
Troops are being hurried into the
zone, but the efforts at succor are as
yet utterly inadequate. France, Great

King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena have left Rome for the south.
His majesty will superintend In per-

AWFUL SCENES AT MESSlNA
Vandalism Of Worst Kind Follows
Catastrophe. -s' 80 =

Rome, Dec. 3O.-The disaster in
the province of Calabria and the ISL
and of Sicily has assumed staggering
proportions. ,Messina alone reports
10000 victims, but it is feared that
this is only partial list of the dead
and wounded. Reports are coming in
from other towns giving estimates of
dead therein from 500 up to several
thousand.
Vandalism of the worst kind has
broken out and the government has
adopted the most energetic and most
severe measures for its repression.
Robbers and looters are shot on sight.
The prison at Messina collapsed.
Some of the prisoners were killed, but
the survivors made their escape and
Joined the "hooligans" who were sack
ing the city. Such confusion reigned
that the robbers met with no resist
ance. The local chief of police lies
dead In the ruins of his Office. =
The barracks at Messina were de-
mohshed. The commander of the
troops was killed outright and there
are many victims among the enlisted
mon. 'e- Z = : - =, ..~.s
The robbers pillaged the ruins of
shattered buildings and even stole
clothing and valuables from the
corpses of the victims. They were not
deferred by the flames that broke out
in several sections Of the city, but
took advantage of the light for their
vandalism. The night in Messina
was one of horror indescribable fire,
robbery, dead and dying on every
side, the city in the utmost confusion
and the people panic stricken and I'M
der spell Of terror. Il
The finest palaces, churches and
theaters of Messina are hesps of
ruins. Countless dead bodies are
scattered through the wreckage and
their decomposition will doubtless
bring pestilence to add to the horrors
of the situation.
The devastation over the entire dis
trict was more or less complete. No
part Of the province Of Resgio de
Calabria escaped. The disturbance
was most severe along the shores OF
the Straits of Messina. where the cit

shocks caused gas meters to explode
and disastrous fires resulted. The
flames helped greatly to swell the
death list.

It is reported here that the project
