Shame to Spoil Boy Like That.

Running on the cars of the /. U. T.
company between Indianapolis and Fl.
Harrison is a conductor whose build,
youth and good looks always attract
attention.
On his car recently, the last car
coming in from the fort, were three
passengers, each notable in his way.
One was a notorious gambler and ex.
bartender The other two were his
companions and well known profess
sional gamblers. Their attention was
attracted to the young conductor,
whom they seemed to know. One OF
the men remarked: THAT boy ought
to be on some police force. A man
with his build has got no business
running a street car" Whereupon the
ex-bartendergambler. hero or victim
of hundred raids, spoke up:
"Be a - shame to spoil a boy
like that by putting him on the police
force" he said.-lndianapolis News.

STOLEN TROUSERS COST $500
And Then the Majesty Of the Law In
California Was Only Upheld
In Small Degree.

A puzzling problem crops up every
now and then in various parts of the
country to vex the majesty of the
law. 1t came up not long ago in Oak
land with a new feature added. Brief
ly the facts are these, relates the Los
Angeles Examiner.
Some time ago a youth stole pair
of trousers hanging in an old tent.
For this he was arrested, convicted,
put on probation and confided to the
care of a family in Berkeley. While
absent at work the house was quar-
count of scarlet fever. Unable to en-
ter his home, the boy eloped with
himself to other scenes, finally turn
ing up in Florida. Upon hearing Of
his whereabouts the sheriff Of Alameda
was dispatched in hot haste 70 bring
the desperate villain back to the scene
of his awful crime against the peace,
dignity and wardrobe of the state.
Here endeth the first chapter.
Chapter II is really narrowing. Re-
luILluS VIII lLc utS ptIduO III Alo Id0-
tody, and nearing the end Of the long
transcontinental journey, the sheriff
engaged in a prolonged discussion Of
sunspots and other phenomena with a
lawyer on the train ana became so ex'
hausted after the weighty delibera-
tions that he fell into profound slum-
Der. When he awoke in the morning
it was to discover that the youthful
prisoner had again eloped in the night,
somewhere between this city and san
Francisco. And, as reported in Oak
land, the villain added injury to in
suit by eloping with the officers own
Sunday breeches.
The trousers first stolen were worth
S1.67. 1t cost Alameda county more
than $500 to accomplish the recovery
OF the desperate who stole the pants,
and the sheriff got him only three
fourths back at that. And now comes
the veXing problem:
If pair Of secondhand pants cost
Alameda county $500, what would a
whole new suit cost?

NEAT SCHEME OF REVENGE
Theater Usher Certainly Got GlorI.
ously Even With Man Against
Whom He Had a Grudee.

For reasons of his own the theatel
usher disliked the man. He was stor-
ing up some grudge, real or fancied,
and he resolved to get even. He puz-
zled his head TO invent some novel
and effective method Of avenging him
self, but decided on none until he saw
the man enter the theater one night
with a pretty young lady. He hurried
forward, took the checks, and said,
This way, please" and conducted
them to the best two seats in the
house. Then he went to the rear OF
the auditorium and chuckled to him
self while the pretty young lady was
whispering, These are splendid seats,
Mr. Jenkins"
Aren't they?" Mr.. jenkins re-
turned. Il told the man in the box
office to give me the best he could,
and he knew the ones like"
It was three or four minutes later
that the usher came down and said:
Let me see your checks, please"
They we're produced.
Seven rows back, in the center Of
this section said the usher severely.
But these are the ones that were
given to me-" said the man.
"Who gave them to your" asked the
usher, in the same chilly way.
"Why, an usher. l didn't notice
"Of course not" said the usher, but
this gentleman has checks for these
seats"
The pretty girl said: "Oh, dear!'
and began to gather up her wraps
Her escort said nothing, but he was
very red in the face as they moved
back several rows and heard one or
two men say:
What nerve that man had. Funny
how people will try to take seats they
are not entitled to-"
The usher heard, too, and felt doubly
avenged.

The objectionable Sin.

Its an awful insult to women, real
ly when you come to think of it,
when a man doesn't marry. No wo-
man can ever forgive man for be-
ing perfectly happy without her.
That is the objectionable sin. 1t
seems to her perfectly inconceivable
that a man can exist and have his
being without being tormented by
thoughts of her. the fear of losing
her, even the fear of not being able
to get rid of her. A woman would
sooner a man thought unkindly of
her than not at all. You can never
get a woman to realize that a man
really forgets, that the sweetheart
of ten years ago is not more to him
to-day than the stranger in the
street. She will hug to herself the
delusion that at the bottom of his
heart he still cares for her and that
if he never married her it is because
she didn't want him to. Perhaps it
is because a woman never forgets,
that no matter how many lovers she
has she still has a separate corner in
her heart for them all where she can
play with the thought of them at
times as a child plays with her dolls.
A woman's memory is a wonderful
thing; mans is only convenient

"Behlnd the Veil"

Being dead is not as black as IL
Is painted. There are as many good
looking girls in the realm of the dead as
the living. There are quite as many
delightful people" This statement,

phist, comes from the bourne from
which no traveller returns" II was
made. through the psychic medium Of
a youth OF nineteen who died recently.
The lad told Of seeking the side of his

where men are trying ito pierce the

DR.. BROWN CHATS
ON SHORT WEIGHT
Saws Forty Per Cent of The
Dealers Scales in State
Are Too Low.

The weekly chat with consumers,
issued this week by DR.. Lucius P.
Brown, commissioner of food and
drugs for Tennessee, bears the start
ling title of THE Butchers Hand"
It tel S the consumer of some of 1.-THE
tricks restored to by dealers to give
short weight, and the remedy.
The uletin says:
1--WE saw a good story in one of
the newspapers the other day. A
housekeeper went into a meat store
to buy roast. The butcher laid it
on the scales and was about to wrap
it up, WI en- she hurriedly picked up
knife. lying near, and said to him:
Cut it off, He looked at her in be-
wilderment, and said: Cut what off,
She answered: Cut your hand off;
you weighed it 'ong with my roas t.
Whether or not any such incident
ever happened, it is an excellent lus.
tration of how taking may be done.
The ordinary man does not want to
fake in buying and sellirg. He wants
to be honest, and he likes to have the
reputation of being honest with his
neighb' rs and have the approval of
his conscience. But it is fact that
there is a small proportion of the
people who will take q mean abvan
tage Qike the butcher in this story)
whenever they can.
Thus, there may be underneath
the scale pan little piece of lead at
tached; where scales requiring
weights are used. the weights may
be lightened by the removal of the
cad filler which is used in all ordi-
nary cast iron weights. Or the deal
er may hang on the hook of his
spring scales little package of wrap
ping paper, saying that it is put
there so it will be handy. and it
dos sn't weigh much anyhow. But it
weighs enough 0 give him more prof
it than he is rightfully IN titled to.
For this reason, the hooks often seen
on spring balances have been f rbid-
den in the state Of Tennessee and 10
every other state having the same
laws. Customers ought to watch
for this, and if the hook is used on
the spring across which they buy
their goods. they ought to call the
dealers attention 70 it. and if he
persists in using such scales, stop
dealing with him. because there is
too much chance for trouble. Spring
scales have even been found without
any springs in them at all, but this
was a gross form of deceit which is.
| believe. not very prevalent.
"The worst trouble has been in
the use of improper types of scales.
often badly corroded. Investiga-
tions of the weight and measuse de-
partment have found that about 40
per cent of the scales. weights. and
measures which have so far bee n
tested in the state have been illegal.
and they are mostly light. 1t seems
to be rule in this, as well as in ev-
cry other state from which reports
come. that where there is a varia-
tom from accuracy, about eighty
per cent of the scales are against
the consumer. and not in his favor.
This will indicate the necessity for
the work which was begun in 1914
in Tennessee. 1t will also indicate
to progressive people that they
ought to have in their own county a
county sealer Of weights and meas
ures appointed according to the law
passed by the last legislature."-
