disclosed. Apparently it is not an unusual
feat.
On the witness stand is the store de-
tective who has made the arrest-a smart,
carefully dressed, exquisitely groomed
young woman who might be mistaken for
screen actress. She recites glibly the
details-the place, hour and date Of ar
rest.
"He told me he was drug addict" she
concludes.
That is the clew for the prisoner.
"That's it, your honor!" he exelaims.
That's it. I'm an addict. told the lady
that the minute she arrested me. had to
steal to get the drug. Send me away for
the cure, your honor. / can go straight if

His voice sloughs off to a whining whis-
per as he begins to cry. 1t ought to be
pitiful, but it isn't, because it seems as un-
real as a poorly acted melodrama. There
is no sympathy for the prisoner except
that which he provides for himself.
A brief consultation on the bench de-
mands in the mind Of the accused the
pulling out Of another stop, in the fancy
of the spectators the Dor h,amana. He
bowls for all the world like beaten dog.
A sharp word from the bench silences
him. He is to have the cure. Happily he
goes back to the Tombs to await the prison
van that will take him to the hospital on
Welfare Island. There probably will be a
Christmas tree in the hospital, and the
patients will get little things the ordinary
prisoners won't.
Next is a girl shoplifter. 1t would be
thrilling if she were pretty and stylishly
dressed. But she is neither-only young.
Eighteen. She has stolen pair Of stock
ings. Dumbly she stands beside the court
officer. The singsong report Of the pro-
baton officer, reciting that this is her
first offence, appears to arouse in her no
emotion that shows on her unattractive
face. She is freed and turns TO 60.

center of the bench, trying his best to be
harsh, you will 60 to Bedford Refor-

The prisoner looks up at him with ex-
preston unchanged-not tear. not a
smile, not an inclination Of the head. A
court attendant has to push her roughly
to start for the door. On the way out
she stumbles over her umbrella.
There are others, two women, fat and
dowdy, one with baby in her arms, from
the East Side, who have tried to work de-
partment store together and been caught
at it. Fines or Jail sentences are their
lot. They have tried it before, with no
better luck, but haven't learned their
lesson.
The proceedings reflect little that is
human, since the fate of the prisoners
seems to be Of interest more poignant TO
the judges than to the prisoners them
selves. Their misery came with their de-
lection and arrest Whatever punish
ment results can make it only a little
worse.
Few Of the thrills Of shoplifting cases
get TO the courts after all. The majority
Of them are to be found in the carefully
hidden little cubbyholes somewhere in the

detectives as the "superintendent's Of

A few feet outside the front door Of a
Broadway department store (such Incl
dents are carefully arranged never TO
occur within the store) a woman who
looks as If she might be a shopper taps
another on the shoulder.
Pardon me-" she says quietly. "The
superintendent would like to see you.
Please follow me-"
Thus is an "arrest" made for shoplift-
ing. There may be burst Of indigna-
tion from the woman who has been ac-
costed. Generally there is. She may
consider for a moment thrusting aside the
woman who confronts her and making a
run for IT, Oddly enough, however,
there happens to be near by a man in the
uniform Of a SPECIAL policeman on the

vanishes. The shoplifter submits quietly

there has been a reduction in quantity,
however. the sporting spaniels will be

Among the breeds showing a marked
increase i'm popularity is the Great

Judges OF Proven Worth.

Judges OF Proven worth.
Mr.. Breese has been Judging dogs for
more than twenty years. both through
out the United States and Canada. He
has officiated in practically every large
city of this country and almost invari-
ably as an all-arounder. Like Mr.. Muss-
Arnoit, Mr. Breese has done much paint
ing OF dogs. 1t is the fourth time Mr..
Breese has been an all-around judge
at the Westminster. He was for many
years associate editor of Field aud
Fancy and for longer period kennel
and horse show editor of Toton aud
Country.
Although Mr.. Offerrnan is the anna
teur of the trio, / think he has had
ar opportunity to study modern types
OF the other judges. He Is an ar
dent fancier and from boyhood has
shown his marked ability to select
good one by the many high-class pur-
chases he made when no was showing
dogs. If there We're more of his type
in the amateur ranks holding judging
license cards all would be we'll in the
judging game.
Mr.. Offcrman Is a thorough sportsman
and has judciai-eye for dogs. He can
be depended on sudgihg most any breed,
certainly any he will consent to judge.
lie knows dogs and will place them
where they belong. That Is one OF the
reasons for the tremendous strength of
tho Airedales with 107 dogs and zoe
entries. The exhibitors of the breed
have great confidence In him,
There Is no question the West
minister is the show of the year In dog
circles. not only for the exhibitors but
for the dog lovers ard those who are
interested in the best friend man or
woman has. They will be on hand TO
welcome the CANNES at the big show.
OF course, at show OF this size the
officials OF the club cannot be expec-
ted to maintain the personal contact
which is found at the small one-day
affairs. The Westminster is a COM
lnercial proposition from the point of
view of the club. II is necessary to ex-
pend 100000 before the doors are even
opened, and one bad day can easily
create a deficit. However. the devotees
can count on meeting all their friends In
the dog game. At no other affair can
be found such a representative gathering
OF who's who in the doggy world.
Much credit for the success of the
show goes 10 George w. Gall. the super
intendent. Mr. Gall has been connec-
ted with Westminster affairs for years,

We are authorized to announce
Senator s. A. Miller, of Clay
County Mississippi, for congress.
Senator Miller is self made
man. Being left an orphan, he
earned his education at the A. &
M. College by milking cows and
working on the college farm.
Since graduation he has held a
number of important positions.
He is a practical and successful
farmer, well informed as to the
needs and the life of the farmer.
In 1915 he was elected to the
the State Senate over three op-
ponents in the first primary. He
established a record as a con-
servative and practical man.
AS a member Of the finance COM
mittee he succeeded in reducing
many appropriations. He was
regular in attendance and a hard
fighter.
Mr.. Miller has been in the en-
ployment Of the Government, in
which capacity he learned many
of the weaknesses and abuses of
governmental work. This in
formation will make him a
valuable man, as it is recognized
by all that there must be some
retrenchment of government
bureaus and a man with this
knowledge can curtail expenses.
without destroying its useful
ness.
Senator Miller iss a student Of
government affairs. and is well
informed as to the duties Of the
office, to which he aspires,
Mr.. Miller has many friends
and relatives in this county.
