How Diana Scored.

In Milton and iluuiespun Is TINS
amusing Englisi fox hunting story:
Hold hard. Msdam, For heavens
sake hold hard on that camel you are
riding will be the death OF some OF
my hounds." cried the choleric master
of one of the southeastern counties
packs Of foxhounds to n lady who was
riding rather too close to hounds.
without deixning to turn her head
she steered her mount little to the
left and clear of the hOands rode her
own line like a centaur, led the van
through a long and very fast run and
was the first of the field to see the fox
rolled over In the open.
Having recovered from his tempo
rary at Of churlishness and delighted
with the manner in which the lady had
ridden. the master approached her
somewhat sheepishly it must be con
fessed. with the brush" and an apol
ogy.
"Pray. don't apologize. sir" was the
smiling reply. You simply mistool
my favorite hunter for camel. and
your foxhounds for fox terriers. Il
seems We were both mistaken. Thanks
awfully for the brush"

AMERICAN CROOKS
NOW AVOID LONDON
SCOTLAND YARD CHIEF SAYS HE
Is MOST PEsrEREp ~ cRlMl-
NAILS FROM PROVINCES.
by Associated Press.)

London, March 27.-American crooks
now give London wide berth. Su-
perintendent William Mccarthy, Of
the Criminal Investigating Department
of Scotland Yard, states that only on
rare occasions does his department
have to handle a case in which an
American crook plays a part. When
Frank Froest, McCarthy's predecessor
at the head of the Criminal Investiga-
ton Department, was serving his ap-
premiership as a detective inspector,
American crooks were so numerous
that he was sent several times to
America to study their habits on their
native heath.
At present, however, London is suf-
fering from an invasion of crooks from
the colonies. Most of these come
from Australia and South Africa and
they are of the type which resort to
violence without hesitation. Many Of
them thrive by Matchmaking wealthy
colocic,s, who have taken up their res.
idence in London. Some of these
residents have pasts, the revelation OF
which would spell disaster and social
oblivion, and the blackmailers who fol
low them from the colonies fatten on
his knowledge.
In accounting for the disappearance
from London of the American crook
Scotland Yard officials expressed the
opinion that the skilful confidence
man finds better openings on the con
tinent while his less artful colleague
finds safer outlet for his energies a,

Profane Dancing.

Harriet Beecher Stowe records that
in her girlhood she and her friends
used to dance Jig entitled go to the
Devil and Shake Yourself" This dance
must have enjoyed long spell of pop
ularity. The first Duke of Bucking-
ham and Chandos was indignant when,
deigning to attend an assembly ball
at Airesford, his request for dance,
addressed to local rectors wife, met
with the reply. go to the Devil and
Shake Yourself! He complained to
the rector. and it then transpired that
the lady. who was somewhat deaf,
thought his grace had asked her what
dance was then being played. This
incident occurred in 1795. and twenty
years later Crabbe. in his Tales
