New Shoplifting Trick.
Pretty French Girl Uses an Imitation Baby With a Box In Its
Stomach to Assist Her Clever Operations In Paris
Department Stores.
A queer story la related about a
trick which Las beeu practiced In one
of the bis shops In Paris by a youns
woman simply attired who excited the
sympathy of kind hearted people as
she threaded her way from one stall
to another with a baby in her arms.
Everybody made room for the young
mother and her Infant, whose quiet
behavior was also uoticed. But some
of the venders had cause after awhile
to take quite a different sort of inter
est in this pale and ladylike female.
Shi' was inspecting some articles
when she deftly slipped one among the
Ions cio:h?*> of the' child she was car
rying Th* explanation that ?he was
The woman walked slowly along un
til she reached a cafe, which she en
tered, and soon she was seated at a
table by the side of a couple who had
left this particular emporium a little
time before her. The inspector took up
bis position at a neighboring table and
listened attentively to the conversa
tion. There was nothing In the talk of
the trio to lead him to suppose that
anything bad been stolen, but great
was his bewilderment when the young
mother, thinking she was not observ
ed, rearranged her Infant's clothes, re
vealing to view a long, narrow box,
which she opened for a moment, show
ing that it was empty.
DEFTLY SLIPPED ARTICLES AMONG THE CHILD'S LONG CLOTHES.

the point of replacing the object lu
question was charitably accepted, aud
soon afterward she left the house.
One of the men whose business it is to
keep careful watch on visitors to the
large shop had entertained a suspicion
that the exemplary conduct of the In
fant was not altogether natural, and
as he had remarked the trifling acci
dent ,!?iicb had attracted the attention
of the sellers he decided on following
the mother and her child after they
had emerged Into the street.
Very keen scrutiny of the baby's face,
which had been enveloped in a dainty
lace veil, also convinced t\ ? Inspector
that It was the face of a >! >.l and no.
of a child. The inference was clear
euough. The doll, such as I: proved tr

thy and to avoid suspicion, while it
also came in handy for^te surrepti
tious slipping of goods among its
clothes pending their insertion luto ttie

nothing had been stolen on this occa
sion. the woman was not arrested.
Soldiers and Sailors' Bank- Deposits.
"It's odd the different sources of
bank deposits," remarked a bauk of
ficial. "For example." be said, "we re
ceive thousands of doVars every year
from Cleveland men in the army aud
navy. The amounts range from $3 a
month from privates to $30 or more
from some of the officers.
"Most of this Is seut to us direct by
the paymaster of the army or navy,
as the case may be. Just now we are
getting a lot of money from men In tho
navy on this crtilse to the Pacific. The
paymaster makes out a list of the
various deposits and sends along a
check to cover the total amount. Thus
the men draw their pay and deposit It
wtj&out ever seeing It. Their pass
books in a good many cases are left
right here."? Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Despair.
"What do you want o' the editor?"
asked the office boy. blocking up the
doorway.
"I have a manuscript poem," said
the long haired caller, "which I wish
to submit for his Inspection."
The office boy closed the door, but re
appeared a moment later.-'
"Xothln* doin'. We ain't println' no
poetry now," he said, slamming the
door In the caller's face.
"Bard out!" exclaimed the poet, tear
ing his hair.
"Chestnut!" yelled the boy over the
pajtltlon. "I'm? heard that 'ua before."
