People Who "Put
On the Brakes .
By BLACK.


Y YESTERDAY we ode high along a
level road built at the very edge
of a yasvning p%recipice.
All at once, down on the winding
road below, a rickety wagon strained
into view. There's the driver walking
to tighten the load. What a whip he
mas. and how he cracks it-hark, yes,
you can hear it way up here. Crack,
sDap-"Gct along the1e, you old fools
The man in The front seat leaned
forward. Wait a minute he said,
the fool is killing his horses for
nothing" and he made a cup Of his
brown hands and called down through
the clear stiffness of the rarnled air;
Hello, there! " lie Take
off your brakes, take off your brakes"
The driver Town IN the ROAD below
listened, stood a minute, turned to his
wagon, did something to a lump Of
wood on the rear wheels. and up came
the wagon, lightly, easily, with no IN
due effort on the part Of the horses.
Forgot his brake and then whipped
his horses for it, said the man on the
front seat.
How many times have 1 lone that
very thing all along the road, and usu-
ally in the very steepest part of 1t, too.
How many of US do that very thing
every dayi The brakes are on, and
we've forgotten them:

The gocd fencw"-you know him,
don't you? Never too busy to go out
aud get a drink, never too absorbed in
any piece of work to stop and light a
companionable cigaret, never too tired
to stay Sust an hour or so longer.
The fellow in the wagon ahead of
him started out with a good deal
heavier load, and isn't half such a good
driver but he took the brakes off when
he started up the hill. The good fell

TT there were no geniuses in thu
lower world there would be no mys-
teries of crime. Detectives would
be unnecessary, and the simplest pre-
cautions would suffice to protect
property and life against thieves and
burglars. But. unfortunately, .ngen-
uity is not always allied with NOR
a4ltys and some of the most ingenious
contrivances hat man has e invent
ed are due to brains that have gone as
tray.
Everybody knows this. in a general
way but ocular proofs OF the ingen-
ulty Of criminals are always interest
Ing, and more convincing than any de-

graphs, taken in the museum of the
Paris police, which will serve to show
how criminals sometimes use their wits
more effectively than honest people.
One of the most battling species of
thieviDg is that which is continually
going on in great department stores.
The police say that women are the
great experts in this kind of crooked
ness, partly because they are. the prin-
clpal I~requenters of such places, and
partly because their style of dress en-
ableS them to conceal their booty more
easily han men do
one Of our photographs shows the
method which has been successfully
used in Paris to enable a woman thief
to steal costly Iaces without danger of
detection. The n of the stocking is
cut off, so that the toes, trained to
their work, can be readily brought in
TO play Around the inner edge Of the
skirt at the bottom, runs a caDricious
pocket to receive the stolen goods. The
thief seats herself beside a counter
and has the laces displayed before her.
At a favorable moment she causes one
of them to fall to the floor. Instantly
her dress covers it. and the thief sims
a foot out of its shoe or slipper. The
trained toes come into play while the
saleswoman is engaged in converse

The Subway and Uncle SiIas.
Just how far the New York charac-
ter had been modified by the subway I
had forcibly impressed upon me recent
". when 1 had a visit from my uncle
Silas, and VIC went about a good deal
together. Now, uncle Silas is a large,
portly, prosperous. deliberate man, who
lives in the middle west. and is a per-
SOnage of Importance in his small city.
Street cars wait for him, and do not
start until he is safely settled when
he rides in one. Also they stop While
he makes up his mind whether he will
get off at a certain cOTner or not, and
while he makes a few parting remarks
TO the man with whom he had been
chatting.
TO uncle Silas the question of
whether we would take an express and
transferfO a local was a matter of such
debate that We generally let three cars
pass us while We argued it on the plat
form of a subway station. Also, it took
him so long to make up his mind
whether he would get off at Thirty
third street or Twenty-eighth street
that we had got to Fourteenth
street before he made up his mind and.
oftener than not, before he slowly
heaved himself out of his seat and de-
liberately sauntered to the door when
he had decided to get off at a station.
the door had been closed and he missed
his station.
The trouble was. you see. that uncle
Silas wasn't geared up for high speed
as rapid transit has mentally geared

letter from Mrs. Sylvania Woods. of

would help them. as 1t has me"
At an expense of $500, for three

DOG BITE, MACHINE FOR IN
FLICTING WOUNDS THROUGH
WHICH DAMAGES MAY BE
RECOVERED, AND CABOVE)
APPARATUS FOR OPEN
ING SAFES.

The simple apparatus for stealing
coins from a box having a slit at the
top-and children's banks are not
the only repositories of -money that are
so poorly provided with safeguards
explains itself, although its manipula-
ton, no doubt, demands practice. This
recalls the story of the vicious small
boy who, the Paris police aver. was the
first to invent a way to rob the penny
in the slot machines. His invention
seemed absurdly simple, whence, per-
haps. its success
All he did was to bore a hole in the
edge of his penny tie a string to it and
then drop it into the slot. The piece of
candy duly appeared and was pOcketed
by the young thief. who next pro-
ceeded to pull out his penny and pay a
visit to another machine.
1t is well enough to mile at and
even to admire the ingenuity of these
criminal inventions. but the lamentable
fact remains that some people of small
moral sense admire them to the extent
of wishing to initiate them. It is use
less. on that account, to ignore their
existence. The true remedy is to show
how misplaced, and, in the end. disas-
trous they are. And this is the work Of
education-the greatest moral force in
the world.

COURT REFUSES TO

Mrs. Estelle NJ. Stevens, who asked
for divorce from her husband, Hon.
er, barber, on the ground that he
had not been affectionate for the past
six years, was denied decree by Judge
Codd, Wednesday. The husbands S
oross-bill, in which he alleged that he
had been treated as hired man for
six years, was also dismissed, and the
pair find themselves Just where they
were before the case was started. The
result OF the case was no great disap-
rointment to the husband, who has
said that he was ready to make up,
but Mrs. Stevens was highly displeas-
ed with the courts decision, and stood
in the corridor discussing the case
with her friends more than an hour
before she left the building
Mrs. Stevens most serious charge
against her husband was regarding
his coldness toward her, while he re-
piled that any coldness that existed
between them was all her fault. Mr..
Stevens claimed that the family
trouble was the result of a conspiracy
between his Wife and her mother. The
couple have three young children.

An abundance of work was laid
out for Corporation Counsel Lawson
and, after him, for the courts. no
doubt, by the judiciary COMMITTEES or

morning, when the committee met to
consider the various resolutions In
troduced by Aid. Vernon last week,
looking toward better street car SER
vice and increased revenue for the
city. Mr.. Lawson was instructed to
prepare a freight car ordinance and
comprehensive service ordinances
Immediately, and he may prepare an
ordinance imposing a fee for the run
ming OF suburban cars through the
streets IL he finds the council has the
power.
From the attitude OF the commit
tee on these matters and the. dispatch
with which they were disposed or. IL
was evident that the council. or at
least this portion OF IL, Is determined
to do Its share towards bringing the
ID. U. X. to time. 1t was evident.
too. that the company is on the alert
and Is watching every move, pre-
sumably with a view to putting up a
legal fight. A. ID. b. Van Zandt. pub

took copious notes on the discussion

Duy out the d. U. r.. by acquiring

Both the measures decided upon bv

tlon are drastic. Aid. Vernon az
plained that he wanted to make the
service ordinance SO drastic that the
company would be forced to, build ex-
tensions, but at the same time aid not

INSANE MAN BATTLES
WITH DOCTOR IN COUPE

Theophile Polieki, a motorman liv-
ing at No. Ill Infantry-ave., became
insane in his home, Tuesday night.
Dr. 8. @. Hanna, of the West Side
hospital, was called, and was taking
the man to the hospital In coupe,
when the patient became violent, as
they passed the car barns, at Dix and
Dragoon-aves. He started to give
battle to the doctor. The latter was
forced to call help from the barns,
and Polieh. after shattering all of
the glass in the coupe, was taken into
the barn, and held there until police
ambulance arrived and took him to
the hospital.
Polieki was hit in the head with
brass knuckles, ten years ago, and 1t
is thought that his mental trouble is
the result OF that old injury. How
ever. he was docile patient, labor
ing under the hallucination that he
was great singer, until the sight
of the car barn reminded him of his
real vocation, and he became violent.
