FL0G "DIPS" OUT OF OWN.
Detroit Police Have Novel Way of Get
ting Rid of Pickpockets.

ting MA OF FlCkpoCketS'
Detroit. Mich.-The police depart
ment has hit upon the plan of flogging
dips" or pickpockets, as the best
means of Kidding the city of them.
This came out when Attorney Thorn
as Mahon made request of Commits
sioner Gillespie for an investigation of
the police department to determine who
has been applying the lash" In
vestigation has developed that lash"
has not been used but instead the
dips" have been logged with pieces
of rubber hose of the garden variety.
Recently half a dozen dips" were
arrested. The men were taken to
court and released on their promise
to leave the city. That afternoon they
were taken in a patrol wagon to the
bank of the River Rouge.
Three detectives. each with a three
foot strip of hose, took positions on
the bank where the dips" when they
stepped out of the wagon would have
to pass them. AS the pickpockets
jumped out the detectives began to
swing the pieces of hose, landing on
the backs and arms of the dips" Some
of them cried out in pain, others ran to
escape the logging and most of them
had to wade or swim the river. AS
they left a warning was shouted to
them to never return.

A BOYS STRANGE ESCAPE.
Lies In Dugout While Bombs Are
Thrown on Him.

Lies In Dugout While Bombs Are
Thrown on Him.
London.-0ne of the most extraordi-
nary experiences was gone through re-
Gently by an English boy in woodland
fighting in the region of Bazentin-le-
Grand and LonguevaL
He now lies in a field hospital smil-
ing because the world seems to him
like paradise after an internal dwell
ing place.
He went with the first rush of men
into Mametz wood but was left far
behind in a dugout when they retired
before the violent counterattack. Some
German soldiers passed this hole where
the boy lay crouched and flung a bomb
down on the off chance that English
soldiers might be there. 1t burst on
the lower steps and wounded the lone
ly boy in the dark corner. He lay there
a day listening to the crash of shells
through the trees overhead-English
fire-not daring to come out. Then in
the night he heard the voice of his
own countrymen, and he shouted loud
ly, but as the English soldiers passed
they threw bombs into the dugout.
The boy was wounded again.
He lay there another day. The gun
fire began all over again and lasted
until the Germans came back. Anoth-
er German soldier saw the old hole,
threw bombs down as the safe thing
to do, and the boy received a third
wound. He lay in the darkness one
more day, not expecting to live, but
still alive, still eager to live and to
see the light again. If only the Eng
fish would come again and rescue him!
He prayed for them to come, and when
they came, capturing the wood COM
pletely and finally, one of them, see
ing the entrance of the dugout and
thinking the Germans might be hiding
there, threw a bomb down, and the
boy was wounded a fourth time This
time his cries were heard, the monot-
onous repetition of this i'll luck ended.
and he was rescued.

Earn their Way Through School.

Emporia, Kansas, Mar. Slightly
per cent of the men at the Kansas
Normal School at Emporia are work
ing their way through school, accord
ing to Delmar Dewey, who is in charge
of the mems employment bureau of
the Normal Y. M. G. A. Nearly three
hundred men are earning all of their
expenses. Most of the men come with
but few dollars saved during the
summers work and begin looking for
jobs at once. Many men come with
only few cents and make success.
One man, John Hitchins, is the city
truant officer of Emporia, another Ed.
Rees, clerk of the court. Others are
stenographers at the Normal and
elsewhere. One has an orchestra
which plays at many social affairs.
Twelve students are on the janitor
forces for the Normal building and
dozens of men save room rent by TAX
ing care of furnaces in private houses.
Five or six students are earning their
money as BARRIERS. Several have laun-
dry routes or paper routes. Others
twenty men are stewards at boarding
clubs and fifty men are washing dish
es and doing kitchen work. Two or
three report for the Gazette. Others
wash windows, polish pianos, and
carry out ashes. A few teach school
and one student ran an ice cream
wagon last summer.
'Three-fourths of the football
squad" said Mr.. Dewey Including
the captain make their way through
SCHOOL, Five or six men on the
basket ball team earn all or part of
their expenses. Every member of the
Bulletin staff is a self-supporter
Every one of the presidents of the
college classes makes out his own
monthly allowance. Nearly all the
members of the Glee club and several
of the debaters earn their own living.
And of seven men who recently tried
out for orations, five are self-support-
ing. OF the one thousand girls in
school, a large number earn a part of
their own way.

WASN'T FROM MISSOURI

1t wasn't Missouri editor but a
printers devil who was going though
his first experience on .smaking up"
forms. The paper was late and the
boy got the galleys mixed. The first
part of the obituary notice of pecun-
ious citizen had been dumped in the
forms and the next handful OF type
came off galley describing recent
fire. 1t read like this: 1.-The pail
bearers lowered the body to the grave
and as it was consigned to the flames
there were few if any regrets for the
old wreck had been an eyesore to the
town for years. OF course there was
individual lose, but that was fully
covered by insurance :" The widow
thinks the editor wrote the obituary
that way because the lamented part
ner of her joys-a and sorrows owed him
five years Exchange.

Efficient farming has been brought
about by the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. Through the expert
ments the college has pointed out to
the farmers of Trego county that
with fewer acres planted and better
care of the crops . larger yield can be
received.
: Within the last five years feterita
has been introduced by the college.
Feterita promises to be one of the
great grain and forage crops in q few
years as it is rapidly gaining'a place
on most of the farms of Trego county.
The silo is one of the great labor
and feed savers as much of the feed
that used to be wasted can be put in
to the sIlo and kept from one year to
the next without practically any
waste at all.
Sudan grass is becoming popular
for its feeding value in place of alfal-
ia and it will grow on upland where
alfalfa will not grow.
Sudan grass was introduced by the
experiment station and was given a
thorough test by the branch station
at Hays which is the largest expert
ment station in the word.
The college has six branch stations
which are located in the western part
of the state for the purpose of expert
menting to find out what grains,
grasses and trees are best adapted for
that part of the state.
Trego county has increased in crop
production six times in the last twen-
ty years which is greater increase
than any other county in the state
made in the same time.

to devote to the work; when you can

Disquieting
Apprehension

gifted local merchant was ask
I'd yesterday how business was and
what the outlook for future bust
ness looked. He replied. in sub
siPnce as follows.
Artificial conditions are giving
business feverish, artificial. inter-
mittent pace now, the uncertainty
OF the immediate future, makes any
thing like steadiness of thought I'M
possible.
1T is like riding over bridge
that is half undermined by a flood
and the passenger is wondering
whether the bridge will stand until
the train gets over or not.
There is double uncertainty.
One is, how long will the war last?
The other, what will we have to face
when 1t closes?
1t is understood that England has
three years copper supply already
on hand. She has forbidden her col
onles to export grain and doubtless
has issued the same order to India
and Egypt to store all her cotton.
She has about all the merchant ships
that are engaged; with the closing
of the war she will rely upon her
trade to keep her interest paid and
for credit to borrow more money.
She will borrow all the surplus
money that has come to us through
the sale of war material and her
struggle will be to absolutely dom
mate ocean commerce, and to deliver
her products in outside countries on
such terms as those countries can
not compete against. And the chief
est of all those countries is our
own.
She knows the labor conditions
of our country, she knows that when
the war closes her own laborers will
work for what they can get. that
they will be obliged to in order &c
live.
She counts on those facts to en-
able her to borrow money here, be
lieving that men and companies
with surplus of money will prefe
loaning 1t to starting new enter
prises under present labor revision
ideas. 1t will be all the more try
ing IL thousands of those stranded
by the war come here to enter in
to direct competition with our uniol
labor.
Then while 1t is the idea OF tn
Allies to crush Germany utterly an,
