"stop Thief.

Kleptomania is the theme Of Carlyle
Moore's farce "Stop Thief one of the
big shows which Cohan & Harris are
Offering their admirers this season
and which is scheduled for one per-
Torrance at the Grand opera house
tomorrow evening.
A kleptomaniac is defined by Web
ster as wealthy person of extra
ordinary absent minded tendencies,
and morbid impulses. The mania
usually demonstrates its presence by
the victim of it being discovered in
making collection of valuable art
;cles that do not belong to him. When
a poor man is caught doing the same
thing he is pronounced as an ordinary
thief. Now in the play Stop Thief"
there are two kleptomaniacs and a
real crook. One of them is million
aire, the other is his prospective SON
in-law. The bride-to-be is aware OF
her fathers habit for stealing but Is
ignorant of the fact that her future
husband is so afflicted The real
thief is smuggled into the rich mans
home by the house maid, and the fun
begins. One valuable article after
another disappears, battalion OF po-
lice are called in, and they are BAT
| fed in the search for the culprit.

MINING MATTERS.
tMullan Progress, }

The Snowstorm mine at Mullan
made remarkable record of produce
ton for the year 1912. The plant was
in operation for only portion of the
year, yet made net profits of over
SIS, 600 from mill feed of about two
and one-half per cent copper The
success of the Snowstorm in this re-
spect shows what can and will be done
in the Mulan copper belt in the next
few years. Even more extensive ore
bodies than the Snowstorm have been
opened ON the copper belt and will
this year enter the producing class.
The National and Snowshoe mines
both have large bodies of the same
class of ore which only require milling
plants to place them in the same class
with the paying mines Many other
properties are working on the copper
belt and this year is expected to bring
forth 4 great many surprising devel-
opments in both copper and lead-sil-
yer ore bodies Prominent mining
men predict that new bodies of lead
silver ore will be opened along the
belt in the bedded Revett formation
in the same form as the copper de-
posits occur.

ONLY THREE BIG ciRcusEs.
Only Three Shows Of the First CIas:
Travelling on the Road,

There are only three of the circuses
of the first class travelling on the road
today. That is, there are only three
circuses carrying three rings In which
the performance Is given. These cir
cuses are the Barnum n Bailey The
Ringing and the Yankee Robinson
circus All of these shows have three
rings. two elevated stages and the
usual hippodrome track where the
races are held, The Robinson circus
gives its Wild West performance in
the hippodrome track. The other two
shows do not carry the Wild West
annex. but give a spectacular perform
ance in addition to the circus.
The Sioux Falls Argus Leader in

that the performance is on par with

Now what this means in plain. go

1896 for that portion of the English

In other words, the British consum-
ers money, pound for pound, shilling

do as much for him today as it did
five years ago. 1t will do still less
than it did ten years ago; and 1t will

Effect on Our Dollar.
That is the very thing which has
been going on in this country. 1t Is
true that the purchasing power Of the
American dollar has fallen at great
err percentage than the English sover-
ei-gn. The United States bureau of la
Dor has computed, from the relative
prices of food here. that the purchas-
ing price of our dollar has fallen as
regards some commodities to as low
as 63 cents as compared with 1897.
THAT is to say dollar would now buy
only GO per cent of what it would buy
lin 1897
The Other Side Also.
But it is also true In this country. to
la far greater degree than in any other
country, that while the buying power
of the dollar has declined, like the
buying power Of the English sover-
eign and all other coins, more dollars
Igo to wage carners and to nearly ev-
erybody else than in 1897
Here If dollar bill will buy only

ago, the average mans dollar bill has

While we are trying to tariff tinker
down the cost of living, it is worth
while to see what has been happening
to the prchasing power of a sovereign
| In Great Britain, says the New York
Press
Everybody knows what 1t means
when the purchasing power of a coin
goes down-when it buys today less Of
any commodity, or less of any given
number, of commodities. than it bought
at previous period. Everybody knows
that thereby the cost of living of the
Garner or possesor Of that coin has
gone up.
All Ills Laid to the Tariff.
In this country 1t has been popular
with one political cult to lay upon the
American tariff system all the blame
for higher prices. The vastly enlarged
output of gold had nothing to do with
it. The rapid growth of population
had nothing to do with t. The
The shrinkage of open grazing ranges
had nothing to do with 1t. The rela-
tive diminishment Of the production Of
breadstuffs had nothing to do with it..
Even the combinations in restraint of
trade had nothing to do with it. ex
cept In so far as. sheltered behind the
American tariff they were able to shoot
consumers to pieces from that am
| bush.
A Place Where There Is No Tariff.
Now, there is no Chinese tariff wall
around Great Britain. Lord bless YOU
that monstrous barrier was torn away
seventy years ago. Meats. bread
stuffs raw materials for clothes and
other articles. finished products--alI
neccssaries flow into the British ports
as freely as water flows down hill
| But since 1896 the cost Of British
living, just like the cost of American
living, has gone up. Since that time
the English sovereign has been buy
ing less and less of the commodities
used in the British Board of Trades
index numbers for retail prices NJ
twenty three articles Of food. Yes, as
q buyer of articles of consumption the
English sovereign has jolly well melted
away right in the British fingers.
