What to Do When Your Hat Is Tipped
Over Your Eyes In Crowd.
For a man there is only one really
safe pocket, and that Is pocket
which few men except experienced
race goers have their suits supplied
with. 1t is a breast pocket inside the
Eaistcoat. and it should have a but
toned flap. for without the button even
Mis- hiding place is unsafe.
The second best place for carrying
money is the trousers pocket. especially
If 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 a couple of screens" who
plant themselves in front Of the in
tended victim. II the job 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 a dense crowd is
to tip a mans hat over. as though ac-
cidentally. His hands naturally fly up
to set it right. Instead they should go
straight to the watch and the money
pocket. If your hat Is knocked off in
a crowd make sure your money pocket
is safe before troubling about the hat.
If you are quick enough you may
catch hand there
The trained pickpocket's fingers are
almost US delicate and sensitive as
those of a skilled pianist. To become

JUST A LITTLE GIFT.
The Present an Economical Duchess
Made to Her Rich Friend.

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 a little present The duchess
thought it would be useless to expend
much money for person so rich, She
thought If 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.
The following day she received from
her young friend a letter of enthusi
astic thanks: "Oh. you have been very
foolish! This Is too. too beautiful"
etc.
''She is making sport of my little
present" thought the good duchess.
Then came a second letter. this time
from the husband who was to be:
How can we thank you? We are de-
lighted! This will spoil u.s."
THE impertinent fellowr' said the
duchess. HE wants me to understand
that have been niggardly."
Nevertheless she went to pay a visit
to the RS before the marriage. There,
in the midst Of her presents. exposed
in most prominent place. she saw the
little cameo placed upon her card. An
old gentleman approached her. He is
member Of the Academy of Inscrip-
lions and Bellies Lettres.
What a wonderful present you
have given these children Nine. la
Duchess" he said "For forty years
we have been seeking for this very
cameo. It is Of the era Of Trajan. and
this trinket Is valued at 100000
francs"

Why Rubber Tires Grow Hot.

When an automobile is running at
high speed the rubber tires are rapidly
warmed, and the heat sometimes be-
comes very great, with resultant in
jury to the rubber. The cause Of this
accumulation of heat in the tire is
ascribed to the kneading of the rubber,
which generates heat faster than it can
he radiated away For this reason
manufacturers have found it to be an
advantage to have metal parts in the
tread. such as the ends of rivets, il.
contact with the tire, because the metal
being good radiator. helps to carry
off the heat of the outer air.
