A DETECTIVE.

Wait until the crime is committed
You won't have long to wait-then
go out and get clew.
All the large department stores
carry full lines of clews, but our best
detectives consider these very much
inferior to the kind that are to be
picked up in saloons. The most gen.
orally accepted method of picking
them up is to order a drink, merely
to disarm suspicion, and wait until
some one says something that seems
to have a bearing on the case in
hand.
Having found your clew, file it
away and go out after another one.
Keep this up until the newspapers
find the criminal and put him behind
the bars.-New York World.

Few Things Can SO spoil Persona
Life ss the Encouraeement Of
This Supreme Folly.

Jealousy spoils pleasures and de-
droys friendships; therefore il is
most necessary to overcome a jealous
temperament. One frequently hears
how to overcome sensitiveness, but
how to fight against jealousy is sell
dom told us.
1t can manifest itself in numerous
ugly ways, and it is not an easy
thing to fight. Who has not felt its
painful prodding? But one must
remember that neither friendship nor
love can stand jealousy's eternal fric-
ton, so the sooner one eliminates
it from ones character the more cdr-
tain one is Of keeping both love and
friendship.
Take what is yours and do not
worry over what is given some one
else. If there is to be any comfort
in social life or in the life of those
who must work every twinge of jeal-
ousy must be crushed out. The per-
sonal element must be done away
with at all times and we must all
learn to make ourselves as efficient
as possible in our various walks in
life. To live for and think of 9th
ers is always help, and added tc
this we must forget ourselves excepf
in our efforts to improve our minds
and our liyes.-Exchange.

WHY WOMEN ARE IDLE.


sNThe modern wife," murmured
the sad-eyed sociologist, is too friv-
odous and idle"
''But it isn't our fault" objected
the young matron.
"Whose fault is it"
cts the result of present condi-
tons. We're forced to be idle, and
we have to be frivolous to kill
time.
''The old-fashioned wife could
darn her husbands socks-my hus-
band wears socks that are guaran-
teed for half year and never need
darning.
"Years ago the housewife had the
dashboard to break the tedium and
the back. Automatic washers do
the work now, with little time and
no trouble.
sInstead Of a broom, sanitary dam
gers force us to use the fainless
vacuum cleaner. In the place of
the hot kitchen range we have the
fireless cooker that doesn't have to
be watched"
And the sad-eyed sociologist, see
ing his error, humbly asked her par
don for it.

In many places dew is looked upon
as tears of the angels and of the
souls in purgatory shed on account
of the sins of human beings upon
earth; and dew is collected to be
used to cure certain diseases, espe-
cially those of the eyes, etc., freckles,
badness, cramps, open wounds and
cuts, rheumatism, skin diseases,
burns, etc.
The virtues Of the dew as beauty
wash are also well known. One leg
end tells how by licking the dew off
the plants on a certain morning
when all the birds drink it one can
learn their language.
Another folk belief is that 'naked,
or with only their shirts on. the
witches, at the time Of the new
moon, collect the dew from the grass
with bark sleeves; by this means they
deprive of their milk the cows that
have been pastured on the grass, and
as soon as their sleeves are full of dew
they know that their pots at home

SEEKING
PLUMS
Everybody After Dates in Balti-
more During Democratic
Convention Time.

Joe McGinnity took a trip over to
see President Ed Barrow yesterday
afternoon at the league headquarters
in the st. James building, to talk over
allotment of dates to the Newark Club
on the skeleton schedule mapped out
by the leagues head.
Joe, as usual, is looking for the best
that he can get in the way of Sunday
and holiday dates. Last year, after a
great deal of persuasion, he succeeded
in corralling seventeen Sundays at
home. When the schedule was first
drawn up the Tigers had only twelve
home dates on the first day of the
week.
Joe hopes to land one of the Cana
dian holiday dates at Toronto and one
at Montreal. Dominion Day, the
Queens Birthday and Civic Holiday
are big days In Toronto, while at Mon
treal the former two days draw well.
The only other town having a civic
or a State holiday is Baltimore. The
Newark Club had one of these days
two years ago.
The Buffalo Club will probably open
here. according to the general rotation.
The last time that Buffalo opened here
was in 1908. George Stallings was
pilotlng the Tigers, and there was a
keen rivalry between Newark and Buff
faIo. Since then the honor of playing
the first game here has fallen to the
lot of Toronto. Rochester and Mon
treal, in the order named.
Joe would also like to get in a date
with the Orioles at Baltimore during
the national Democratic convention IN
,June. At that time the southern di-
vision teams are generally on the
northern end of the circuit, but a
change will be made. Rochester wants
a series of games during the conVeh-
ton. 1t is most likely that JACK Dunn
and Charlie Chaplin will get together
and exchange plums. Chaplin has tiag
Day to hand out and Dunn wants II.
