BANKS CAlI1, THIEVES LOSE PicIcpookets Said to Be Fewer Since Financial Institutions Began to
 Accept Small Deposits.

What possible relation can there be between the disappearance of pickpockets and modern business courtesy.
 Police authorities know that pocket picking is virtually an ex- tinct form of endeavor. A crude worker may still occasionally try to lift a watch at county fair, but, generally speaking, this brand of thieving is no more. It has gone the way of buffalo laprobes, pug dogs, Sunday buggy rides, beef steak for breakfast and torchlight processions. Why? Because pocket picking is no longer a gainful occu- patton.
 What has brought about the change? The attitude of the banks. They cater more than ever before to the small depositor. If a man wishes to open an account and start off with $2.50 or even less, he re- ceives the same courteous consider ation that would be accorded the customer depositing thousands. Only a few years ago, a person with small savings looked upon bankers  as a crusty lot and kept away from such institutions for fear of being insulted.
 Today even the majority of the safety deposit boxes are held by per sons of comparatively modest means. Banks have simply followed the changed attitude of business in general. All business has been growing more courteous every year. And this spread of courtesy is the basic reason why pickpockets are now rarely heard of.-Nation's Business.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON SPRINGS.

The frequent destruction of boulevard crossing lights by motor ists has led to the development of traffic signal on springs, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated article. The new signal post stands over a cavity or box set below the surface. At the top of the box are four arms with spring bearings. On these rest a cast iron ball ten inches in diameter. A heavy spiral spring connects a ring at the bottom of the box with an- other on the ball. The post, whicL is made of sheet metal, is rjyeted to the ball. "Slow Down" and "Stop" signs are set into the side in red glass. Lights inside the pole make it conspicuous at night. Street names appear at the top.

FAMOUS SOUTH SEA ISLAND
Tahiti Has Long Been Place of Inter est-Visited During Centuries by
 Great NaVioators.

Several eventful occurrences, more or less connected with Tahiti, have tended to increase its celebrity. Over two centuries ago, Quiros, the Spaniard, is supposed to have touched at the island; and, at in- tervals, Wallis, Byron, Cook, De Bougainville, Vancouver, La Pe- rouse, and other illustrious naviga- tors, reftted their vessels in its har- bors. Here the famous Transit of Venus was observed in 1769. Here the memorable mutiny of the Boun- ty afterward had it's origin. It was to the pagans of Tahiti that the first regularly constituted Protestant missionaries were sent; and from their shores also have sailed success sive missions to the neighboring islands.
 These, with other events which might be mentioned, have united in keeping up, the first interest which the place awakened.-" "Omoo," Her. man Melville.

MENACE OF MONDAY MORNING
Writer Has Put into Words What Doubtless Many Thousands Have
 Often Thought.

There is a menace about Monday morning which few have escaped
 It is a menace which in one guise or another clouds hundreds of mil lions of pillows, gives to the golden sunlight which filters through a billion panes the very hues and character of jaundice. ..
 It is the menace of factory and workshop, harsh prisons which shut men and women from the green fields and the pleasant byways; the menace of new responsibilities to be faced and new difficulties to be overcome.
 Into the space of Monday morn ing drain the dregs of last weeks commitments to gather into stag nant pools upon the desks and benches of toiling and scheming hu- manity.
 It is the end of the holiday, the foot of the new hill whose crest is Saturday night and whose most pleasant outlook is the Sunday-to- come.
 Men go to their work reluctant and resentful and reach out fer the support which the lunch hour brings.-From "Green Rust," by Edgar Wallace.

American producers wanted ex

The Passion Play will be enacted

This information comes TO me di

These rumors were based on the
