POLLING THE PIcKPocKET..
What to Do When Your Hat Is Tipped
Over Your Eyes In a Crowd.

Over Your Eyes In a Crowd.
For man there is only one really
safe pocket, and that is a pocket
which few men except experienced
race goers have their suits supplied
with. 1t is breast pocket inside the
waistcoat, and 1t should have a but
toned flap, for without the button even
this hiding place is unsafe.
The second best place for carrying
money is the trousers pocket, especially
II the owner Is rather stout. And the
left hand pocket is better than the
right. A skillful thief standing be-
hind you may insinuate his right hand
into your right hand pocket easily, but
the left comes awkwardly to him.
For safety's sake the pickpocket sell
dom works single handed. He usually
works with couple of screens" who
plant themselves in front of tho In
tended victim. If the sob" is diff
cult one they carefully jostle him at
the critical moment In order to dis
tract his attention. This jostling Is
usually called working the ramp"
A favorite trick In dense crowd Is
to tip a mans hat over, as though ac-
eidentally. His hands naturally fly up
to set 1t right Instead they should 60
straight to the watch and the money
pocket. If your hat is knocked of In
crowd make sure your money pocket
is safe before troubling about the hat.
IL you are quick enough you may
catch n hand there
The trained piekpocket's fingers are
almost as delicate and sensitive as
those of skilled pianist To become
an expert demands long practice. But
the expert could with or without the
shelter of newspaper go through, one
by one, every one of mans twelve
or sixteen pockets except that one in-
side the waistcoat IL he knew It to be
worth his while. Three years ago a
man was sentenced for training young
pickpockets. He used clothes dunn
mics with bells so arranged that they
rang when the picking was clumsily
done.-Exchange.

JUST A LITTLE GIFT.
Tho Present an Economical Duchess

Tho Present an Economical Duchess
Made to Her Rich Friend.
Recently when the wealthy Mile. de
Il. was TO be married one of our good
duchesses had to make her present,
just little present. The duchess
thought 1t would be useless to expend
much money for a person so rich. She
thought II she would look through her
vast mansion she would be able to, find
something, some trinket, to which
the addition of her card would give
sufficient glory. She finally found In
her writing desk an Insignificant
cameo that she had once worn.
Tho following day she received from
her young friend letter of enthusi-
astlc thanks: "0h, you have been very
foolishl This Is too, too beautiful"
etc.
"She is making sport Of my little
present." thought the good duchess.
Then came second letter, this time
from the husband who was to be-:
"IIow can we thank you? We are de-
lighted This will spoil u.s."
"The impertinent fellow" said the
duchess. "He wants me to understand
that have been nlggardly."
Nevertheless she went to pay q visit
to the RS before the marriage. There.
In the midst Of her presents, exposed
In most prominent place, she saw tho
little cameo placed upon her card. An
old gentleman approached her. He Is
a member of the Academy of Inscrip-
lions and Bellies Lettres.
"What wonderful present you
have given these children, Nine. 10
Duchess" he said. "For forty years
we have been seeking for this very
cameo. 1t is of the era of Trajan, and
| this trlnket Is valued at 100000
francs"

College Name up for Change

Trustees of the Maryland Agricul-
tural College voted to change the name
of the institution to the Maryland Col
lege of Agriculture and Engineering.
Governor Crothers and Mr.. Charles A
Councilman, of Baltimore county, voted
against the proposition.
The resolution providing for change
in the name was referred to the coun-
sci of the trustees and to the Attorney
General of the state to decide whether
the trustees have the power to change
the name or whether legislative enact
ment is necessary. Another question
is whether the name can be changed if
there is objection by the private trus-
tees.
The trustees have already applied to
the State Aid and Charities Board fol
recommendations to the legislature that
the sum of $4,000 be appropriated an
nually for the maintenance of the col
lege and that the usual sums appropri-
ated be again given the institution.
The Maryland Grange will ask that
the legislature appropriate $4,000 fol
the erection of an agricultural building
on the grounds.

Lauds State Departments.

Commentator of the work done by
the State Land Commissioner, the
Bureau of Statistics and Information,
in the State Tobacco Warehouse and at
the State tuberculosis Sanitarium is
the feature of four sections of Cover
nor Crothers' legislative message.
The Governor recommends that the
State Free Employment Agency, under
the jurisdiction of the Bureau OF
Statistics, be improved by a widening
of it's scope to cover the whole state by
the establishment of additional branches
which would distribute the unemployed
to all sections of the state.
In commenting on the tobacco ware
house the Governor says:
''The operations Of this department
have been most satisfactory. The chief
inspector in charge has reduced his
force from rs to 20, and will pay into the
State Treasury S24, 900 this year, with
between 1900 and 5000 hogsheads of
tobacco still on hand. This is a re-
markedly good showing and reflects the
greatest credit upon this department. u
Mr.. K. Lee Manning, of Accokeek,
this county, is chief Inspector and his
friends here are proud of his good
work.

The Farmer and the Newspaper Man

Many men think that newspaper men
are persistent dunners. By way of
comparison let US suppose that farm
er raises ], ZOO bushels of wheat year
and sells this to 1000 persons in all
parts of the country, a great portion
of them saying, 81 will hand you dol
lar in short time" The farmer does
not want to be small and says all right
Soon the 1000 bushels are gone, but he
has nothing to show for it, and then he
realizes he has fooled away his whole
crop and its value to him is due in a
thousand little driblets, consequently
he is seriously embarrassed in his bus
mess, because his debtors, each owing
him dollar, treat it as small matter
and think it would not help much. Con-
tinue this kind of business year in and
wear out, as the publisher does, how
long would he stand it? A moment 8
thought will convince anyone that a
publisher has cause for persistent dun
ming.

Spicy Talk in Council

Insinuating personalities and splc.
repartee characterized breezy session
of the Mayor and Common Council o
Mount Rainier Monday night.
The trouble resulted from the ap
pointment of Victor F. Brooks, press
man in the Government Printing Office
as Councilman from the Second ward
to succeed J. B. Moore, resigned.
Friends of w. w. James claimed tc
have petition signed by all but five
of the voters Of the ward asking fol-
the appointment of their man, but
Mayor Joseph Plant declined to receive
the petition.
He announced that the charter gave
the Mayor and Common Council the
right to name Councilman Moore's sue
cessor. Thereupon he had Brooks step
! forward and take the oath of office.
Hardly had the new Councilman TAX
en- his seat, when George Warwick,
one of James supporters, asked the
Mayor if Brooks was legally qualified
voter of Maryland.
When Brooks answered that he was
not so qualified, Mayor Plant and the
members Of his official family held a
hasty consultation with Corporation
Counsel Harry Quinn, who decided that
Brooks was eligible because he had
registered and voted at the last munic-
ipal election.
Charles M. Mattingly, corporation
council under the preceding admins
tration, wanted to know if the Mayor
would receive the James petition and
place it on file.
The Mayor refused to receive the
document, declaring that no vacancy
existed.
A Mr.. Wardman undertook to criti-
else Mr.. Mattingly for Quitting in"
and declared that Mattingly paid no
taxes in the town and should not be
heard.
This was an opening for James, who
accused Wardman of not being a citi-
en- of the United States, and Ward
man admitted that he had taken out
only his first papers, although he had
been in this country 20 years.
James attacked Mayor Plant, and ac-
cusations were flying thick and fast,
when Mayor Plants suggestion for
motion to adjourn probably averted
further trouble.
A writ of mandamus to compel the
Council to order a special election for
the recall of Councilman Elliott is be-
ing energetically discussed.
