The Manner In Which the "Dips" Do
Their Thievine Work.

AS usual thing the pickpockets
vary their methods TO suit circum-
stances. Only the lower grade dips
work In pairs. These are the variety
who operate on street cars, elevated
station platforms and similar places
where they will find crowds Of pushing
people and at the same time have OPP
portunity to escape II detected One Of
the pair shoulders victim roughly
while the other does the work and
makes a getaway" Arrests are fire.
quent. but convictions are rare, be-
cause the man captured seldom has
the loot.
Not but that the higher grade dips
work in such places. The difference Is
that they work in groups and choose
times when prosperous passengers will
be in the majority During the fash
ionable shopping hours and after the
theaters at night are considered har-
vest times One method is to block
the exit as the intended victims are
about to alight and in-the tumble make
the touch" Provided the victim dis
covers his loss within a minute he Is
too late, because the car or train has
sped on.
Last winter trio of dips worked a
clever method in Chicago. Garbing
themselves in evening clothes, they
mingled In fashionable crowds in big
cafes, theater exits and railroad sta
lions. One of the party was always
hopeiessly drunk, and the others. ap-
parently acting the part Of Samaritans,
were hard put trying to keep him on
his feet With all their care, however,
he would stumble occasionally and fall
into groups of ladies and gentlemen.
Invariably the sober companions had
apologized and taken their charge
away before any one discovered the
loss of valuables.-Bohemian Maya

Mr.. Honeyman looked hopefully at

"And can you wait on the tablet

A LONDON DINNER.
The Scene Is Elegant and Impressive,
but. Oh, So Sad!

The Scene Is Elegant and Impressive
but, Oh, So Sad!
"a German" thus writes the London
Mail: A dinner is In progress at first
class hotel. Elegant toilets. splendid
surroundings = and an absence OF
sound. Slowly. stiffly. like automa-
tons. the dining ladies and gentlemen
proceed with their meal. The scene Is
undoubtedly very impressive, but, oh,
SO sad, Amid the sparkle Of jewels
and silver and crystal and porcelain,
amid d scene that fairly invites, begs,
cries for bright smile, a low, rip
ping laugh or at least that deep, AMI
mated hum that makes itself other
wise noticed wherever there Is large
gathering. the diners sit as in expecta-
tion of the judgment day. Sometimes
somebody does speak-one word or
two. The lips hardly part. The other
mods his head In terrible earnest. Then
silence reigns supreme again.
A friend who had been in England
once related a story, the point of which
I have never fully appreciated until
now. Like myself, the first time he
had entered dining room in London
he looked around in surprise. Finally
toward the end Of the meal he called
the waiter. "Tell me, please" ne
asked, "does anybody ever laugh
here?'
WELL" replied the waiter, 81 am
sorry to say that we have had some
complaints. but not often, sir - not
often"

Fines In Germany.

The German workman who the other
day was fined in a London police
court probably considered that he had
q genuine grievance when he complain
ed that, In addition to the fine, his
compulsory attendance at the court
had lost him days pay. For they
do these things better-at any rate.
from the delinquents' point Of view
In the fatherland. For what may be
described as q trivial offense the
worker is not compelled to attend the
court, and the amount Of the fine Is
collected from him at his house by a
policeman. In the event Of a more Sc
rious though still comparatively ven
ial breach Of the law, punishable by
a short term Of Imprisonment, justice
is satisfied If he works Off the time
by installments Sundays and holidays.

by Mr.. ]. A. Hammerton in his book
