Mr.. Richenbacker took charge of
the store five years ago and estimates
his loss during the first year to be at
least $1,000, although it is impossible
to make an accurate accounting With
practice and with the assistance of
his regular employees he has been
succ essful in reducing this practically
to a minimum.
A year ago a toilet set valued at
$3.50 was on display in a prominent
position. 1t was admired by hundreds
Of people, and until one day the brush
was missing The second day another
article was taken and the third day
every remaining article excepting the
case was taken. The case was left In
its position and watched by the man
agement with a hope that the thief
would return for it, but they never
came. and the management was un-
successful in making a capture
Arrests are frequently made. but of
course many are successful in avoid
ing detection. The professional shop
filters of Topeka are generally known
and watched but it is the novice who
causes the trouble for the reason that
they are not known, and consequently
cannot be watched.
School Boys Stole Masks.
In one of the schools of the city, it
is said, a gang of young boys was or
ganized for the purpose of pilfering
the stores of the city. The leader of
the gang is bashful youth and one
who would not be suspected to being
guilty of such crimes. The organiza-
ton was discovered by the teacher, in
whose room the leader attends school.
She found that he and the other boys
of his gang were in possession of a
large number Of false faces which had
been stolen at the Fair and other
stores where articles of this character
are carried in stock. These boys had
more than SO of these masks. The
teacher has communicated the facts
to the managers of the stores and told
them that she also intended to inform
the parents of the boys, but 1t is not
known whether she has done this or
what action the parents of these boys
took in RESPONSE to it.

Yes they will even steal Bibles.
Silks look mighty good to the shop
litter also. Why, they will steal stock
ings, articles of cheap jewelry, rib
bons and notions which one would or
dinariIy consider to have such a small
value that the articles would not be
worth the trouble and the risk of de-
lection.
Such is the usual testimonial of a
business man in a department store
when asked concerning the shop-lift-
ers. Petty thievery of this character
is more prevalent during the holiday
season, because the stores are usually
filed with shoppers, which makes it
easier to accomplish and reduces the
chances of detection.
The holiday season is now on. 1t
has not reached its zenith and the
crowds have not begun to fill the
stores. but with but less than three
weeks before Christmas, the rush is
sure to begin and at an early date.

men and women, are employed in such
work.
Harry Williams, of the Crosby Broth
ers' store, asserts that the losses in that
store are small and that he is unable
to estimate the value This place IS
not greatly troubled with shoplifters
and more trouble is experienced with
the railroad Mexican laborers than any
other class. A Mexican was recently
arrested in this store on this charge and
served two months in jail for the Of
Tense. This was valuable to the man
agement for the reason that the other
Mexicans have given the place wide
berth ever since and the number OF
thefts have shown a large decrease
Mr. Williams stated that articles OF
jewelry, hose, silks and small articles
are especially attractive to people of
this character and that such IS guarded
more closely than some OF the larger
articles or such as cannot be secreted
easily.
Women With Long Capes.
T. f. Richenbacher, of the Fair De-
partment store, says that at his place
of business, that more trouble is ex-
perienced with the women who wear
large long capeS than from any other
class, although the small boy and girl
come in for their part OIL suspicion for
the reason that so much of the stock
is on display without a covering or
protection by a show case. The Wo-
man with the long cape can secrete
ton unless some member of the store
see her while performing the opera
ton.
Practically all of the stock Of this
store is open to the inspection O. the
public without any protection whatever
except the vigilance of the employees
of the store The vigilance of these
employees is greatly reduced during
times when the store is filed with visi-
tors and then the thieves can work
more successfully.
stole Toilet Set Piece at Time.
From II to IA persons are usually
employed in this establishment, but
by December Is this number will be
Increased to 40. A large number, and
practically all of the additional help,
is unknown to the managers of the
store, and it is also necessary that
these be watched, as it is common to
employ one who will steal articles as
quick as one who occasionally visit the
store.
