extraordinary vocabulary of New York

Mallory soon found that back Of her
liveliness and fun loving disposition
she possessed a large capacity for dis

had been quickened by the sophistica-

Patsy made up her mind that NAL
lory was the one man in the world for
her and that she would marry him.
But the meal table conversation had
enlightened her as to the views he had
entertained, and she sympathized to
large extent with his logic, for she
was every bit as ambitious for him as
he was for himself. Therefore when
at last the telling of the Oldest and
sweetest story ever uttered by human
lips had made her his and the happiest
girl in all the world, and he urged her
to name the day and make it soon,

cogent reasons in favor of this course

The mileage of Germany's rail

quite naturally the difficulties OF

during the heavy spring and autumn

ties must be overcome with greater

"Our freight trafic today is be-

ia in peace times" said Won Breiten-
3aoh. last July, for example. the
freight receipts were greater than In
the same month of the previous
year. Passenger receipts are not
equal to the receipts In peace times,
but this Is quite natural. because a
large number who Travelled in times
OF peace are now at the front. Ex-
cursions are restricted, too. but even
SO 20 per cent OF the passenger
trains in service in peace times
are running now"
Won Breitenbach mentioned cas-.

the war tegan. but said none OF
them has anything to do with train
movements since that required a
years training. He praised the eff
cheney OF the German railway EN-
ployes, whose increased efforts in
time Of war. he said, have enabled
Germany to meet any difficulties.
Then 1t Is true that the railways
are winning the war;" he was asked.
"The firm establishment In times

our military authorities have work

The city is fairly teeming with the

that always exists during the holi-
day season, according to Supt. OF
Police Marquardt.
Reports of the activities OF pick.
pockets have been on the increase
the last few days." said the superin-
tendent Tuesday. II believe that
all shoppers should exercise due
caution when mingling In the crowds
Of Christmas buyers.
For instance, one of the 'don'ts'
to women at the holiday season Is,
Don't carry any more money with
you than needed for the days shop
ping trip
And another is, Be on your
guard when caught in jam, and
watch persons who brush against
you. Avoid the pushing crowds
whenever possible.
There is every need of caution
at this season, when an unusual
amount of work devolves upon the
police"
During the last few days several
alleged dips have been picked up
by detectives as they piled their
trade among the Christmas crowds.
As the pushing and crowding in the
department stores increases with the
approach OF Christmas, pickpockets
will be in evidence In ever greater
numbers.
SO the timely warning OF the su-
perirtendent is, BE on your guard.

superintendent. Many parents
bring up their children to fear the
patrolmen. We aim to bring the
oficers and the children into closer
touch. Trees, gaily decorated. with
small gifts, candy. nuts and the
like, provided by the men that
care to participate, will bring the
Christmas spirit TO many children
that are not reached by the usual
Yuletide festivities.
