Here are some Did customs and
themselves with on Halloween night:
Melted Lead.
Each girl in turn holds the door key
in one hand, while with the other she
pours lead from an iron poo through
the handle OF the key into cold water.
Fanciful shapes will be assumed, in
which resemblance may be traced to
all sorts OF things. Sometimes a sword
or gun appears. These indicate that
the girls future husband will be a
soldier. Again, a ship appears, and
the conclusion drawn Is that the navy
will be the unknown ones profession.
RI a plow, then the indication Is that
a farmer will claim this maiden. and IL
a hook takes shape n professor, ply
sician or minister will undoubtedly win
he girls heart. When the lead only
drops h superstition is that this
maiden will not marry, or il she does,
her husband-to-be will have no trade
or profession.
Some Old scotch Customs.
A snail is placed In the ashes spread
on the hearth. If the snail does Its
DUTY 1t will. in its crawling. trace the
initials of the to-be husband or wife.
The lottery of dishes is another
very popular custom. Three dishes are
placed side by side on a table. One con-
tains clear water, n cloudy II one
IL left empty. Boys and girls are led
from an adjoining DOR blindfolded ana

told TO dip their left hand into one of
the dishes. If it goes into the empty
one the owner will eve marry; into
the cloudy one. a widow or widower is
the coming mate, but IL the hand dips
into the clean water the welded mate
will be a maiden or a bachelor. Burns
says that these dishes or 'luggers'
must be changed after every test or
their foretelling virtue will be lost.
Nutshell Boats.
These must be prepared before by
splitting an English walnut directly IN
half. Remove the kernel and place a
short piece of string in the shell, pour
ing tho melted bees'-wax around 1t.
The wax is nodded into cone shapes
with the end of the string coming out
of tn top.
Tapers are then lighted and the craft
is launched upon a tub of water, which
represents the sea of life.
When the light burns until the NAY
is melted and the bark rides the waves
made by stirring the water with a
stick. a happy and long life is pre-
dicted.
II two boats sail side by side, the
owners will pass their ives together.
refusing to start out. the owner will be
a stay-at-home person.
Sailing out and touching the sides of
the tub frequently indicates short voy-
ages. while extended travel Is pre-
dicted when the boat seldom touches
the tub.

For a thought he stood bewildered
and dismayed by the absence of light.
He had thought, somehow to find the
gas-jets faring. Thu atmosphere was
hot and foul with the odor of kerosene.
the blackness filled with strange sounds
and mysterious moving shapes. A
grunting gasp came TO his ears. and
Then the silence and the night alike
were split by a report, accompanied by
a streak OF orange fame shooting cell
ingward from tho middle of the room.
Its light. transient as II was, gave
him some mixing Of the situation. In
thinkingly he flung himself forward,
ready to grapple with that which first
should meet his hands. Something SOFT
and yielding brushed against his should
er and subconsciously. in the auto-
hypnosis OF his excitement, he was
aware of q mans voice cursing and a
woinan's cry Of triumph trailing Off into
a wall of pain.
On the instant he found himself at
grips with the marauder, For a mo-
ment both swayed, dazed by the shock
of collision. Then Maitland got a foot
ing on the carpet and put forth his
strength: the other gave way, slipped,
and went to his knees. Maitlalld's
hands found his throat, fingers sinking
deep into flesh as he bore the fellow
backward.

To prevent as far as possible the
number of robberies in New York
getting into the newspapers, only six
of the largest pawn shops are now
trusted with the daily list of stolen
articles as printed at police head
quarters under the direction of In
spector McCafferty. These lists show,
however, that since January 1 more
than $1,000, 900 worth of goods has
been stolen from the residents of this
city.
The lists left at the big pawn shops
daily are printed on green paper and
are divided under the various head
ings-watches stolen. diamonds, jew
elry, silverware, clothing, etc. They
are marked confidential and are sign
ed by Commissioner Bingham.
The remaining loan shop proprie-
tors, numbering about 1876 on the
east and west sides of the city, have
no lists sent to them, and for the last
six weeks the detectives have ceased
to make their daily rounds to inquire
after stolen property. As a result
the majority of the pawnbrokers do
not know whether goods have been
stolen or not, and the public suffers
in the end, as 1t makes things easy
for the burglars to get rid of their
loot.-NeW York TfmeA

police officers and members of the
sheriff's force to collect fees in Juvenile
court cases. Although the former law
excluded these officers from witness
fees in any court, the Juvenile court
law, passed only four days later spe-
cially provided for them. It says that
"all police officers and county officers
are entitled to fees for testifying in
juvenile cases." The Juvenile court
proposition was checked up to Attorney
General Jackson, and Probate Judge
Schoch has just received an opinion
from him. General jackson says that
as the juvenile law specially provides
for fees in juvenile cases, it was done
Intentionally, and that witness fees
should be paid to officers testifying in
such cases.

fee for testifying in a case appealed

NO FEES FOR OFFICERS.
Judge Dana Says They Can't Draw Pay
as Witnesses.

sJudge Dana has given a decision
which precludes the possibility of po-
lice officers and constables or members
of the sheriff's force from collecting
witness fees from Shawnee county. His
decision was on the case of Ben judi
kins against the board of county COM
missioners. Ben Judkins was a de-
tective on the police force at the time
this test case was filed. He was or
dered by the county attorney to testify
in a state case, heard in the court of
Topeka. To test the law which pro-
vides that police officers shall not be
entitled to witness fees, Judkins made
his claim for rs cents fees, and the
board of county commissioners refused
to allow it. Judkins then brought suit
for IS cents.
But at the same session of the legis-
lature in which the law was passed,
another one was made which allows
