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 we'll off financially that
there is no need to steal. Others hold
the opinion that "A thief is a thief,
whether she be woman in no actual
need or one who steals as a means Of
living without working. Certain it is
that many an alleged kleptomaniac has
been checked in the course which soon
would make chronic thief Of her by
reason of the fact that she has been

whose plea of kleptomania has been
accepted for the reason that 1t has
been her first cffense.
"In watching suspicious persons and
detecting thieves, secret signals and
words are employed that to the unsus-
picious person, or even to the shop
lifters, have no particular meaning, but
which are well understood between the
store detectives. fioorwalkers and sales
men and saleswomen. Primarily, per
sons against whom there seems to be
reason for suspicion are quickly sized
up by the store employe with whom
they come in contact.
"Of course, many shoplifters study
to disarm suspicion both by their gen

keep a keen watch Of all that is go

ty Of nerve and self-confidence, per

do hundreds of honest shoppers, and

In this free country. with universal
education, with the richest natural re-
sources in the world, needing only de
velopment by means of labor and cap
ital to produce wealth enough to lift
the entire population above want, the
fact remains that the numbers of the
able-bodied poor are very great, and
the condition is not confined to hard
times. Ten million people-an eighth
of the entire population-are in con
dition of what may be considered ex-
IRENE want Yet 1t is stated on good
statistical authority that within hun
dred miles of New York City, where
there is a very large poverty-stricken
population, there are hundreds of aban-
doned farms with thousands of acres
Of idle land Not only is this true but
within the territory named there are
allowed to go to waste each year thou
sands of bushels of apples, gar
den stuff and other produce, much
of it being left to rot on the
ground. Something, like this can
be said of every city where unemployed
people are found in large numbers. If
all the unemployed people who could
get work in the cities, If they wanted
lit, were earning wages, and If all who
cannot find employment in the cities
would seek it in the country, there
would be a decided decrease in pov-
Prty, not only in a hard times period
but at all periods. The marvellous pos
sibilities of the millions of acres of
vacant land in this country are only
beginning to be realized. Intensive
farming is making land wonderfully
productive to all who will bring intelli-
gence and energy to bear upon it. The
world never yet had too much to eat
and wear and provide shelter. There
can be no overproduction in this line
as long as there is left hungry mouth
or ragged back.

The abandoned" farms Of several
of the New England States present no
doubt a gloomy picture to some per-
sons, and yet so far as future growth
is concerned. there is more hope In the
fact that these farms are not worked
than there would be If all the avail
able land in the six New England
States were cultivated to the limit of
its productive power. The farms which
have been abandoned are to the future
OF New England what the land which
has never been brought under cultiva-
tiOn is to some of the States of the
West At some time in the future they
will be occupied and titled. for the de-
mand for land will force them into
use. Neglected now. they are never
theess q source of future wealth and
production. New England as whole
has Il long way to go before 1t reaches
In density of population the condition
of some countries in Europe to-day.
TO become gloomy In rejecting upon its
future is to ignore what may be learn
ed from the history and the example
OF other prosperous and yet more
densely populated parts Of the world.

en- in this capacity is absolutely neces-
sary, for women can do excellent work
where men would be worse than use
less. For instance, If male detective
should be seen in the crowd at bar

Arresting Thief.
when a detective notes the theft of
any article she follows the thief from
counter to counter and thence out of
the store, where the offender is ar
rested, not by the female detective,
but by one Of the male detectives of
the establishment, who has been no
tilted hurriedly by one Of the statesmen
or salesWomen, who are uncOmmOnly
quick to take in such a situation,
knowing the identity of the men or
women detectives; or by some police
man near the store to whom the female
detective would appeal The arrest Of
a 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
when it comes up in court is much
greater If he or she is found with the
stolen goods in their possession out
side of the building.
'"The best detectives are those who
are unobtrusive in manner and appear
ance, as to attract attention is the last
thing desired in that work. Then they
have strict orders not tC .emain at one
spot too long They are to keep NOV
ing about in a careless way.
Zone Of the chief deterrents to shop
lifting in the New York department
stores is the fact that it is known by
these criminals that vigorous and de-
termined steps are now taken to prose
cute them when arrested, and long
stay at Sing Sing or Auburn prison is
a strong probability.

O Joke ON Somebody.

Calling on a maid one evening
In the season of good cheer,
William saw green decoration
Hanging on the chandelier.
William was bit near-sighted,
But you couldn't call him slow;
And he thought he knew his business
When he sighted mistletoe.
Then he up and kissed the maiden,
Kissed her for an hour or two.
But she merely smiled demurely
As shy maidens often do.
Tell me why you smile?' he asked her
When they parted in the hall.
Really. can't you guess?" she giggled-
