communicate this to the chief"
The detective left the Office and
went to make his report. In the
meantime Mr.. Bolland arrived, to
whom stated the facts of the city
detectives visit and his intention to
arrest Erfert. Mr.. Bolland said that
he did not care to prosecute; in fact,
he preferred not to do SO. and was
really undecided which was the best
course to pursue.

him, and tell the chief what you have

This was done, but, at police head
quarters, the police chief and the de-
tective who had called at the Office in

charge and put him through the third
degree. They attempted to make him

them, which they urged Erfert to sign,
declaring that l had violated the law
by having arrested him and forcing
him to make a statement of his guilt.
Erfert declined. however, to sign this
statement, on the ground that it was
untrue. He stated that ! had ex-

The policeman later reported that

of course, reached e chief of police
the following morning The chief,
becoming eXasperated, suspended the
policeman for not having arrested
both the hack driver and myself. He
also suspended one or two Of the Of

were on duty that night.
The next morning a city detective
called at my office.
Il have been sent down here by
the chief to see YOU he said THE
chief understands that you arrested a
young fellow named Erfert last night
and that you recovered a lot of stolen
property. Is that report true?"

l answered. You know, and the
chief should know, that l have no
legal right to make arrests, and there

detective.

TREATMENT OF BALKY HORSE
Animal Is Not to Be Cured by Either
Beating or Abuse-Only Practi-
cal Method.

In an article in Our Dumb Animals,
Alfred II. Pope says that the balky
horse has the most sense and the con-
firmed runaway horse the least sense
of any horse. The balky horse is not
to be cured by beating and abuse. 1t
appears from his article that he makes
business of buying balky horses,
breaking them of the habit, and selling
them again. 1t is to be presumed,
therefore, that he knows whereof he
speaks. He makes no mention of such
methods as that Of building a fire un-
der a horse, as he condemns any kind
of abuse. When q horse makes up
his mind to balk, he has no room in
his mind for anything else. Whipping
only increases his stubbornness, but
there is a method which goes to the
cause of the trouble. With single
idea in his head, it was reasoned that
the best way to get the horse to move
was to give him another idea-s0me-
thing else to think about. The trainer
then remembered that horses and
mules resent interference with their
liberty to move their ears 1T will. 1t
was noticed that horse never changes
his course of action without moving
his ears. 1t was then found that when
a horse baked it annoyed him to have
one ear pushed under the crown of the
bride so that he could not move it.
And it was also found that if the
ear was left there for about 20 min
utes he was so annoyed that he forgot
about his determination to balk. He
shook his head. turned TO one side
and then the other. and made every
effort to release the ear. This Oc-
cupied his mind until when the driver
ordered him to 60. he went. After
few minutes the ear was released
and he went on as If he had forgotten

Natural Curiosity.

Joe had been working in Baltimore.
On the day before Christmas he re-
ceived his pay and planned to go home
to Washington, but first he started out
to buy presents for all his family. He
did this with more generosity than
foresight, and when evening came he
found himself ut the railway station
laden with bundles but with no money
for his fare to Washington.
Somehow he got through the gate
and approached the conductor. He
laid the case before him, and ended
with plea that he might ride to
Washington on the platform of the
baggage car. The conductor, his heart
warmed by the spirit Of the season,
said, "All right, 60 aheadw
So Joe climbed On the platform of
the car next tc the engine. 1t was
cold night, and it was on road where
the engine takes up water from track

When the train reached Washing

Gently been assisted by another of the
employees. He added that his grand
father conducted a jewelry and nov.

nearly all the stock which he and his
confederate had stolen had gone into

that he had quantity of the stolen
property concealed in the attic of his
mothers house, and agreed to 60 with

NEW YORK. Mar. l1.-Members OF
the WOmans City Club have decided
to allow smoking in every one of their
rOOms-whiCh means that women can
smoke almost any place they please
in New York without an eye being
lifted. The elevated and surface cars
remain to be invaded by the female
devOtees of My Lady Nicotine.
Instead Of setting apart a room for
lady smokers in Gotham 1t is prob
able that Il room for nOn-smokers will
be designated-whlch may be the
proper thing after MI. Under the lib
eral ideas here. Cigaret smoking is
permitted openly in nearly all OF the
hotels.
While there Is no law against a
woman smoking any more than there
Is against her eating buckwheat cakes
and snusages at midnight, there are
thank the gnds-a few women who
arc old fashioned enough not to smoke.
=Dr.Gharles Pease-who writes flatter-
Ing letters about himself to newspa-
pers signed by Annette Hazelton, OF
Fox street, the Bronx-will no doubt
renew his war on smokers to include
the women smokers.
On Fifth avenue any day he can
snatch cigarets from the hands of
women who arc brazen enough to puff
on the streets.
A New Yorker and his wife sat at
luncheon in their hotel-ono of those
hotels that are so we'll advertised in
the society columns that they do not
need to put their names over the front
doors. The man was looking at his
monthly hotel bill.
81 don't see where we can cut down.
he said. The only item that does
not appear reasonable is the bill for
the dog. 1t seems to me that one
ought to be able to keep a dog for
less than 500 month"
A man at the next table pushed
back his soup and walked out for a
bit OF fresh air. Meeting friend. he
told him what he had heard. "And
yet they wonder" he soliloquized
