Later on--sav, in the days when the sea-

the drama sometimes pays better than second
story work.
Ponzi and "Nicky" Arnstcn gained recent
fame and the notoriety Of headlines through
their alleged ability to take that which was

So thieving a gentle art, even for master
minds, is by means modern one, although
New York hotel managers now come forward
and beg to present team which has out
Ratified every Raffles of history.
This will introduce Mr.. and Mrs. Souvenir
Hunter, most genial of pilferers. They reg
lister by dozens daily at every hotel in the
country. And they have this added distinc-
tion--unlike any of their predecessors, they
continue to get away with it.
Big businesses are equipped with burglar
alarms, night watchmen and insurance policies
covering loss by theft and fire. Banks and de-
partments stores employ planclothes men to
guard their riches. Modern Fagins and Light
ming Lizzie, the girl pickpocket, when caught
at their trade, are handed passes to Black
wells Island
But the Grundys, mater and pater. en- route
from Europe to Bay City, Mich, before check
ing out of their New York hotel, frequently
lift the pictures from the wall, the bath mat
from the floor and the sugar and creamer from
the breakfast tray and consign same to their
personal baggage. Yet records at general
headquarters in their cases have failed to re-
veal single conviction for grand larceny.
Mrs. Grundy has even been known to con-
ceal valuable glassware in the silken strong
hold hitherto conventionally referred to as the
Isle thread bank. Although they do say out
in Bay City that she has dealt harshly with
every parlor maid caught red handed while
secreting the Irish linen in her steamer trunk.
The Grundys' legerdeman in souvenior hunt
ing makes fascinating research. Had Sche-
herezade heard of it she might have nbbled the
end Of her trenchant pen and turned out the
thousand and second tale. just listen to this
one:
An old hotel manager was standing one
afternoon in the lobby of his newest institu-
ton. Near him a guest was swinging into a
heavy winter overcoat in the widc-sweeping
manner which big men particularly have.
The corner of the coat struck the managers
knee with terrific whack. SO metallic was
the echo that it caused loungers within a
radius Of several feet to jump.
Hope I didn't hurt you," said the guest,
turning around, gracious and apologize.
NO., said his victim with a grimace of
pain, "but what in heavens name are you
carrying in your coat?"
"Only one of your ash receivers" grinned
the guest. GIVE the finest collection you ever
saw-got them in hotels from coast to coast"

Here's another episode:
Last summer a congenial party Of hus-
bands and wives started on a motor trip to
New York. On the way they stopped at an
Atlantic City hotel. Shortly afterward their
nearly smashed to bits at turn in
the road through the carelessness of the
chauffeur. Nearly every one in the car was
badly injured. One of the women bled pro-
fusely about the knees. From a hurried sur
vey of her injuries no one could understand
why this should be so. When the doctor came
he explained the mystery. She had concealed
six pony glasses belonging to the hotel in her
stockings.
The moral worth Of the leading characters
in both of these narratives was above re-
proach. Quite so. The man who collected
ash trays passes the box in church Sunday
He sings 'The Star-Spangled Banner" louder
than anybody else at the AlI-Amercan meet
ings. Whenever there is occasion to wave the
flag he waves it. He would throw burglar
down the stairs and turn swindler over
to the police
But there are three men in the world that
he feels he has divine right to defraud by
every trick known to honest men. They are
the fellow who invented the Volstead act,
the official who represents Uncle Sam in the
uniform of customs official and the hotel
manager.

When Austin w. Baylitts, assistant to Mr.
Statler in the management of the Pennsyl-

had twenty five years
experience in the finest

New York hostelries, to
explain the psychology
Of the towel thefts. He
said:
when a woman takes
a souvenir she looks
for value in an article
that her husba per-
haps could not afford
to give her, such as
solid silver. Or she
takes something that is
a distinct luxury and
not classed among the
necessaries of lif e,
which she probably al
ready has. When a man
takes a thing in a hotel
he usually intends to
present it to some
m a n rather than
keep it himself. He may
have in m n d his
mother, his wife or his
sweetheart. All women

preciate fine linens. So

 Very shortly thereafter President Harding announced that he would re- ceive the diplomats There was much scurrying among them to get mat ters in shipshape for the reception by the new president At the Bra zilian embassy the tension was % great because new ambassadoriai uniforms must be provided.
 In Latin Anserica diplomatic uni- forms are very definitely prescribed An ambassadors coat must have just so much gold braid on it of just such and such sizes. The impasse occurred when 1t was found that the coat of the Brazilian representative was not big enough to hold all the braid to which his rank entitled him. It had served all right for ministerial pur- poses, but 1t was impossible to get the ambassadorial braid on So this popular and punctilious official had to go to the White House quite im- properly clad in the coat of q min- ister.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

lNepubican A. P. Leased Wlrel { NEW YORK, May 31-Business on the stock exchange today was char acterfzed by a continuance of last weeks dullness and reactionary trend. Public interest was negligible and traders evidently saw nothing in de- veiopments to alter their attitude of pessimism. Additional announcement of suspended dividends were made, domestic money rates remained firm and the foreign exchange market again denoted the confusion resulting partly from Germany's initial pay ment of separations.
 News from the principal centers of Industry indicated increased depres- sion in the steel and iron trade and advtces dealing with the motor indus try and kindred lines of manufacture were of an equally unfavorable tenor.
 About the only encouraging feature was publication of railroad returns for April, some of which disclosed pronounced gains in net earnings.
 Leaders of the motor. oil. steel, chemical stocks registered gross re- actions of one to nearly four points. Some of the less prominent issues of miscellaneous types were lower by two to seven points. general heavi- ness ruling at the apathetic close. Sales 450.0o0 shares.
 With heavy June interest and divi- dent payments in prospects. banks were less liberal with offerings of call money. Most loans of that nature were made at z per cent. but the rate again rose to 7h per cent in the last few minutes of the session.
 The feature of the irregular to heavy bond market was a new low record for Liberty 3iss. at $s744. The foreign bond list was a trifle steadier than domestic issues. Japanese and Mexicans making slight gains. Total sales. par value, $11.375.000.
