The piece Of candy duly appeared
and was pocketed by the young
thief, who next proceeded to pull
out his penny and pay a visit to an
other machine, where he repeated
the operation. Thus he was not
long in acquiring, without the ex-
penditure of a single cent, a stock
Of candy sufficient to satisfy even
a small boys appetite.
His penny with its string at
tached, is now an exhibit in the
museum, for all such inventions
eventually get there, while their
contrivers go to prison. 1t is said
that the discovery of this method
of robbing the machines, which
ought to- have been foreseen, led TO
fundamental alteration in their
design, rendering similar proceed
ings henceforth impossible.
1t IS well enough to smile at and
even to admire the ingenuity of
these criminal inventions, but the
lamentable fact exists that some
people of small moral sense admire
them to the extent Of wishing to
initiate them. 1t is useless, 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 great
est moral force in the world!

Quite Like Other Folk.

Actors and actresses are just
men and women, with all the in
stincts, ambitions and limitations
that the rest of us possess.
Heine said: There are three
sexes-men, women and actors"
But that was only jolly josh; that
listened" good.
The actors used to hoodwink us
with the thought that they were
very, very ba-a-a-a-d, and for
time this make believe was so we'll
carried out that the actor was an
attraction. We read stories about
his peccadilloes; and the records
of divorce courts We're laid open
before us. He was a great adver-
tiser. And so we used to go and
buy seats to see him strut and hear
him rant,
But now all this SNOWY shadow of
yelled villainy has been blown
away, and we know that the actor
in private life is even quite as
other men. He studies his part
feverishly, watches the clock and
counts the hours before he will go
on. He Is nervous. irritable touchy.

performance he is apt to be frisky

They Idealize Actual Life.

One reason why we loved the
actors in the old days was because
we We're so impeccably respectable
We acknowledged our respectable
ity and our virtue was ever bs-
fore US.
And to equaiize matters We got q
fine tang out Of the wlckedn,ss or
supposed wickedness OF others We
We're eminently proper ourselves
but we reveled in the thought Of
improperly in others.
Actors idealize actual life; and
no doubt actual life is often a
beautiful take-off on the stage.

Whistler; and the answer was. He

is: 1T is right under our feet" We

I + there We're 80 geniuses in the
lower world there would be no
mysteries of crime. Detec-
uves would be unnecessary, and the
simplest precautions would suffice
to protect property and life against
thieves and burglars. But, unfor-
tunately ingenuity is not always
allied with morality, and some Of
the most ingenious contrivances
that man has ever invented are due
to brains that have gone astray.
Everybody knows this, in a gen
eral way, but ocular proofs of the
ingenuity Of criminals are always
interesting, and more convincing
than any description. Here are a

How Women Thieves Work.
One of the most battling species
Of thievlng. is that which is con

women are the great experts in this
kind Of crookedness. partly because
they are the principal freQuenters
of such places, and partly because
their style Of dress enables them to
conceal their booty more easily
than men could do.

SENATOR BRANDEGEE
 FORTUNATE IN ASSIGNMENT.
The Connecticut Legislator Fares AL
 most as Well an Any Republican.


 Senator Brandegee is as fortunate republican in the senate. with the possible exception of Senator Lodge of Wyoming, says a Washington de- spatch The committees on inter state commerce and judiciary are among the "big five" of the senate. The interstate commerce body takes care of antitrust legislation as well as measures dealing With common car riers, and many of the matters it con- siders do not involve party allegiance; therefore. republican will have much voice in shaping the legislation dietary has thousand and one ques- tions which are non partisan in char acter
 Although Senator Brandegee had to yield his chairmanship of the inter- oceanic canals committee to a demo crat-Senator- O'Gorman of New York he continues on the committee and will have a voice in the legislation dealing with the opening and opera tion of the Panama canal Before the committee will come soon the question of repeating the law granting free tolls to American coastwise ships.
 The committee of which Senator Brandegee is chairman is one of the minority non active committees that does not meet. Only the republicans who have served longer than one term get one of the chairmanships. They enable such senators to have more clerks than the younger minority sen ators The theory Is that the older minority senators are members of more important committees than the younger ones and therefore need more clerical assistance. The fact Is that the practice has grown up to enable older senators to increase their pa fronaRe

Strikers Are Behaving in Orderly Man ner-More Departments of Bleach cry Affected

Three more departments of the U. s. Finishing Co.'S GreenevilIe plant were forced to close down Tuesday owing to the fact that operatives of these departments left their work in sympathy with the striking men of the shade department. The departments now closed are the shade department, the winding department, the printing and dyeing departments and the strik- ing workmen now number 50 or over instead of 25.
 As it was feared that some trouble might arise between the strikers and those in the plant Police Officer Casey was stationed at the gate during the noon hour. Crowds collected around the gate in the early morning. at starting up time. and several speeches were made in foreign tongue urging the employees to leave their work. This was also done at the noon hour with the result that by 2 o'clock the three above departments had to close. No violence was shown the strikers act ing in an orderly and quiet manner throughout the day.
 At night mass meeting was called together in Union hall by the strike leaders and speeches were made in the Polish. Creek Russian and Eng fish languages. Among the speakers urging the strikers to stand by one another and not to yield until their demand is recognized by the company was William Kellas of Taftville
 Monday evening the strikers were addresses at a similar meeting by AL bert Boardman. a prominent socialist leader of the city.
