STORIES OF THE PRINCE OF THE TRIBE How He Oguvicted a Thiet by a Plece of Wire and Saved a Fortane for & Westerner—~Remarkn-~ ble Memory for Faces. “There,” sald detective, whose name Is household property throughout the country, “Is one of the finest detectives alive today." His companion followed the nod of the speaker's head, and found that it led to & man making“entries on the hotel register. “What," spoke up the second man, in- credulously, “that hotel clerk a fine detective?” “That's exactly, what I mean,” was the reply. “All hotel clerks are more or less proficlent detectives, because it is an un- changeable principle of every reputable hotel in America that every man who writes his name down In its register is a suspect until he proves himselt O. K. But this man is the cream of them all.” And then there came out some of the clever places of detective work that the clerk had done, the like of which occurs in any blg hotel with something like the precision of clock work, despite all the guards that a hostelry employs to keep Away all but reputable and respectable guests. Plece of Wire Convicted Thief. The first story had to do with a benev- olent 0ld man with the plous look of a life- long preacher and a long, flowing white beard of the patriarchal type. This man had been a guest at the hotel a half dozén times before he came in on this particular occasion and registered, and long since the eye of susplcion had been withdrawn from him. So when he asked for a room he was assigned to one that communicated with a regular boarder, and no more was thought of tme matter. ‘That 18, the clerk dismissed the benevolent looking guest from his mind until early the next morning when the boarder \pame rushing up to the desk. “I'vs been robbed during the night of $200 in cash,” he exclaimed excitedly. “It ‘was in a pocketbook in my trousers, which were on & chair when I went to sleep. ‘When I feit for the pocketbook this morn- ing when I put on my trousers, which were folded as I left them, it was gone."” The clerk hastened to the room with the boarder. He looked at the front door; it had not been tampered with, and no one could have got in through the windows, for neither ledge nor fire-escaps ran by them. Then the clerk went to the com- munication door and tried it. It opened— and the key, to the certain knowledge of the clerk, had not beén out of the office for weeks. Instantly there flashed Into the clerk’s mind the benevolent old gentleman. ‘“‘Bu it couldn't have been that old preacher, he told himself. Nevertheless he got down on his hands and knees and began looking carefully about the floor. For fifteen minutes he oarefully looked and ran his hands over the carpet; then suddenly he straightened up. \ “It was the fellow who slept in this room last night,” he sald, as he held up a plece of wire bent something like a Z, with one line added at the bottom. The man whose money had been stolen his astonishment. “Why?" he asked. “That” was the reply, and the clerk indicated the little plece of wire, “is a part of a broken jimmy thet the burglar aocidentally left behind him.” Shadowing the Patriarch. As quickly as he could the clerk went down stairs to look for his man, but, as he suspected, he had flown In the night. All ho could do was to lock the little piece of wire In the office safe, tell the boarder he was sorry that he had sustained a loss, notity the police authorities and—wait. A few days later the chief detective of a raiiroad running into the oity walked up to the hotel clerk. “I've traced a benevolent old chap with & long white beard to this hotel,” he said. “He's one of the country’s famous sneak thieves and we're aftef him for lifting our patrons’ baggage in the waliting room.” The clerk told his experience with the wily patriarch and the upshot of the ex- change of confidence was that the hotel and the rallroad each offered {o pay half of the expenses Incurred in running down the man. The chase occupled a year; then one day the clerk received word that the thief had been caught in Philadelphia and was now in the local jail. Thither the olerk went and identified the man, and to the court house he went two weeks later, and on the witness stand told what he had found in the room that the prisoner had occapled on the night of the robbery, and his testimony was corroborated by a Ifttie plece of twisted wire and the evidence of the rol:bed man. The little plece of wire, that only a per- son who was & born detective would have discovered and recognized as being of great value, did the business. The jury sald “guilty” without leaving the box and\ the judge sentenced the benevolent looking man to seven years in prison, where he is now, Nabbed a Roll This same clerk not long ago made a life- long friend of & rich lumberman from Mich- igan by securing to him the return of & pocketbook that contained $0,00 in ne- gotiable paper. The westerner, who was in the habit of carrying large sums of money on his per- son and thinking nothing about it, was writing in the hotel's writing room when he found himself short of paper. Leaving his things on the table, he walked over to the desk, got another supply of stationery, and went back to his chair, only to find that his big red pocketbook, which he had thoughtlessly used as & paper welght, was miseing. The clerk was notified. “My God,” gasped the westerner, “If I don't get that pocketbook back I'm a soner.” ‘When the victim had calmed down some- what the clerk got him to make out a list of the papers, and all the banks were noti- fied to stop payment on them. Then the clerk began looking for the rob- ber. By @ little quiet inquiry among the hotel attaches he learned that a man who was an habitual “chalr warmer of the hotel had been loafing in the writing room shortly before the robbery had been re- compel’ed to hire girls and men. Elghteen young women, ranging in age from 18 to % years, and forty men, from the ages of 2 to o, e carryl messages. The lack of boys was caused yflmlfllv by the open- .ing of school. Out of 150 boys. the custom- messenger force of the Western Unlon mpany, more than seventy-five quit work 0 go to school. Forty tendered thelr resig- nations in one day. A combination of tire manufacturers has been effected and henceforth automobile manufacturers must submit 0 the dicta- tion of the rubber men conces what size of tires they may use on vehicles of certain weights and also what style of rims thay shall use. The combination is only among the makers of double-tube tires, which is tne style used most on &utomo- biles. The deal stmply in the form of an tire makers that ) proved by them and n siren of tires are used for tl ifferent welghts ::::,dlnm-:fiu has been &n a3 jange of from 1§ fo % per cent all rou ported. But now he was nowhere in eight. The clerk went to police headquarters, told his story and his suspicions, and got a man asigned to loaf about the hotel until the “chalr warmer” should turn up again. Then he was to wait his cue from the clerk. For three days they watched in vain for the suspect, but on the fourth day he turned up, as the clerk thought he would, in order to keep suspicion from falling on him, and took his accustomed seat in the writing room. Pretty soon the loater, hav- Ing been courteously treated as usual by the passing hotel employes, ot up and started easily for the door. Thenm it was that a man who had been seated within vision of the clerk, approsched the loafer and tapped him on the shoulder. “I want you to come with me,” he said. “Yea,” added the clerk, as he joined them, “we want you to come up to police head- quarters and tell us what you've done with that $20,000 worth of negotiable paper you took from the writing table in this hotel last Thursday.” The man stoutly protested his innocence. and even when ho was taken befors the chief of the detectives he still tenaclously held that he was gulltless, At last the chief turned to the clerk: “I believe you got the wrong man this time,” he said. The Bluft Worked. But the clerk was undeelved. “Chief,” he sald quibtly, “T've helped you out several times when you've come to the hotel In search of clues, and now I want one more chance” He turned to the suspect. “Look here” he _said, “you've got a queer pocket just inside your coat; and Its mouth is big enough to let you slip things that lay on tables Into it quickly; and it's deep enough to hold big objects like long pocketbooks.” For the first time the man blanched just a trifle. “Search him,” sald the chief to two as- sistants, They did, and just inside the coat they found just such a pocketbook as the clerk had described. Also, In a pocket on the I side of the man's walstcoat they found the pocketbook with not a single paper missing. “Well,” sald the chief, turning to the proprietor of the hotel and the Western who had entered the room on belng noti- fied of the discovery, “what shall we do with him?" The Westerner was overjoyed at recelv- ing back his papers. “Do with him?" he repeated. “Lord, I've already spent four more days in this town than I meant to. Don't keep me here to testify against him, for heaven's sake.” “Well?" said the chief, turning to the proprietor. } “I don't care to make any complaint,” the hotel man answered, for it is a part of the business not to let the public get hold of such things, even though they are un- avoidable In the best of houses. The chief turned to the culprit. “The next train leaves for the east at 7" he sald, “and it's 4 now. You go home, to meet me at the station in time to catch the train. I want you to go east—and to stay there. If you don't meet me—" and the chief finished with a sgnificant click of his jaws. That night he pleasantly shook hands with a companion who got aboard an east bound train. Then the chief called on his triend, the elerk. “How in thunder did you know he had a queer pocket in his coat?" he asked. The clerk was modest. “I dldn't,” he replied. *T just thought he ought to have one, to be able to slip a big pocketbook off a table in broad daylight without anybody noticing him." A Case of Remarkable Memory. This clerk is known to many a detective for his ‘remarkable memory of faces as well as for his ability to recognize a man the first time he has seen him by means of a description, or even a flesting glimpse of a photograph. A detective in another city once wrote to the clerk: “I enclose a pretty poor photograph of ‘Slim Pete,’ the safe blower, who is coming your way. He wouldn't keep still when we took it. He tries to appear the gentle- man when traveling and he may therefors try to put up with you. If he does, do me the favor of nabbing him.” The clerk got a local detective assigned to sit on a sofa placed on the opposite side of the office so that it faced the desk. Here the a.m of the law lolled until the afternoon of the second day, when, a stranger, every inch the well groomed man of the world, walked up to the desk with an easy air and began registering. He was Just reaching out to get the key from the clerk when the latter raised a hand as if to reach for the letter box back of him. It was the preconcerted signal and next sec- ond “Slim Pete,” the safe blower, was under arrest. He had been instantly recognized by the clerk, despite his natty get-up and a be- coming Van Dyke beard not shown on the photograph. He had made the fatal mis- tako of not giving heed to his eyebrows. One was sweeping and long, the other decidedly shorter; and the clerk had noticed the difference in the rogues’ gallery photo- graph that his friend down east had sent THOMAS G, CLAYTO! RELIGIOUS.

ISIGN POSTS OF CHARACTER The Ohin Pronounced ths Most Gonspienons Index of AlL STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS PLAINLY SEEN Reasons Why the Lower Jaw is Con- Indication If you are skeptical as to the significance | of taclal signs throw your prejudices aside just for diversion's sake and study the faces about you, Study your own as well. You will learn that whereas no one fea- ture should be taken as significant of an individual's character the weakness of an { undeveloped feature may be balanced by the strength of the remaining features of a | tace. Beginning with the chin, which Is an im- portant feature, you will soon agree that a ! weak chin is a poor enough inheritance. I have yet to see a weak-chinned man or woman who .has ever done really great work. If with a weak chin there is also a re- treating forehead it Is useless to look for & very great mental capacity. 1 have seen retreating chins that belonged to men of powerful intellect, but they were blg chins, and the subject had always & big nose and a fine head. - The Prettiest Chin. The prettiest chin in the world, not the strongest, is the ‘“‘cleft” chin. It is found often in sweet-tempered, mirth-loving, easy-going women, fond of approbation and endowed with artistic tastes. The g.url with a cleft chin will not have an atom of malice In her disposition. She loves to be loved and is here apparently to be a pet. Men love her and so do women, and her entire existence i» bounded by her af- fections.. She fsn't always constant, by the way, but she is nevey vicious. The girl with the talkafive chin has been & magple from babyhood. She is good- natured but rather inconstant, changes her mind often about people and things. 8he loves a joke, is usually & mimic and often has a very musical speaking as well as a singing volce. BShe is romantic, and does not save much money, and she does love to hear the sound of .ier own words. The strong ehin of self-control is rather broad and square and announces great constitutional strength and unlimited will power. The woman with this chin, unless her other features are singularly weak and inefficient, will accomplish anything she makes up her mind to do. She knows no such word as failure, She is a loyal friend and a bitter enemy. “ Never a Bankrupt. The man who marries her wins a treasure, but he will loss her if he deceives her. The thrifty chin is long and rather nar- row, and projects more or less. Its pos- sessor always has something in reserve. 8he is never financially bankrupt and mentally she never exhausts her store for the benefit of her audience. Let a man whe courts a girl with the money-making chin never fear for the fu- ture. The tendency of the money-making chin fs toward avarice, tnerefors a close- fisted man should avold them, for the union of two of these chins would be apt to result in & palr of misers, to say nothing of the effect upon succeeding generations. ‘The long, narrow chin is known as “ob- stinate.”” Girls with this type of chin are physically rather fragile, mentally, self- willed. They are very loyal about love af- fairs and cannot be bought. Money the narrow-chinned girl under- stands {s essential to comfort, but no amount of money could win her hand from the man to whom she has really given her heart. This chin denotes obstinacy in afiirs of friendship and affection as well as in other matters. If, according to a well-known writer, the chin is small, weak or retreating, we do not look for much love, devotion or force of attachment, broad or generous social and domestic Instincts, or vital power. Love ex- presses {tself in many ways, in eye and mouth, but pure, true, warm vigorous love {18 radically impossible with a defective chin. Y The Heart Sigm. A good, well-formed chin is essential to creative genlus, energy and enterprise. “The heart sign,” and, of course, of a good cir- culation, is indicated by a large, full and projecting chin. ‘“Want of heart” is proclaimed by, among other things, a weak, narrow and contract- ed chin. Feeble chins denote a efeble circu- tion. Small-chinned people are, as a rule, physically feeble. They are weak mind, having no great executiveness or “go.” Such persons have lttle reaction under diffculties, and “give ‘way" under trifies, lose their mental bal- ance, succumb readily to disease and any courage they possess is of the hysterical order. Healthy kidneys are indicated by the chin. Simms, the physiognomist, places the sign of the kidneys in the chin, imme- diately in front of the angle of the in- ferior paxillary bone. Dr. Redfleld lo- cates at the same point his physiognomic sign of ardent love. They are both right. Long life, love and good kidneys are sim- ply impossible with weak and defective chins. Manly men and affectionate women have good and well-formad chins. Dudes, simpletons and idiots have none to speak of. Droad, full chins exhibit love of physical beauty, the outlines of figure and perfec- | mind. King David must have had a chin | of the broad, full order. The Social Faeulty. The broad, full chin With the face in har- mony, with full, red lips, will respond to & good development of the social faculties d the enjoyment of health. As women possess, as a rule, more of the vital tem- perament than men, this sign is generally large. Soclal people have broad chins. Narrow and seifish people will have nar- row chins. Weakly people will have re- troating chins. Courageous, bold and en- ergetic people will have protruding chins of the pugnacous order. They will lead and advance. Retreating chins fall back, shuffle out of the-fight of the duties and tolls of life and their possessors will whine when they have a chance about thetr ill- luck. Firmness, resolution or strength of will is shown by a good square jaw. Wel- lington, Napoleon and Washington are good examples. Pugnacity sends the chin out. It pro- trudes and dares. Thoughtfulness sends it down and out. Tmbecility and cowardice cause it to retreat. Intelligent men or women with retreating chins are génerally maneuverers. I do not know a better word to expresse their small diplomacy. They lack straightforwardness. ‘When there is flabbiness in man or woman there is subserviency. The sub- serviency will be greater or leas as the loose skin is greater or less round the windpipe and under the jaws. The full- ness is akin to the double chin, which is both acquisitive and subservient. Animals have no chin to speak of. A well-defined chin 1s a characteristic purely and solely human. In animals the jaws are prolonged, carried forward and beyond the “face,” including the brain. In man the jaws are foreshortened and crushed backward, a chin is formed, or ought to be, overshadowed by a prominent and well-defined brain. “Survival of the fittest” 1s & confiict between Jaw and brain. In man brain wins; the animal and animal natures retain the jaw.—Chicago Record- Herald. -~ QUAINT FEATURES OF LIFE. In the center of a cordon of smarling llons at Bostock's, Coney Island, one after- noon the christening of the three-weeks'- old baby of Harry Tudor of West Eighth street, Coney Island, took place. The ery- ing of the child seemed to enrage the beasts, and the trainer had to put his ,powers to a supreme test to control them while the strange jungle christening was going on. Captain Bonavita~drove twen- ty-seven llons into the arena. As Mme. Morella, with the baby In her arms, en- tered the band played “America,” and the great crowd, thrilled by the spectacle, Joined In the chorus. On the ball of the Cincinnati Traction skyscraper bullding's flagstaft, 275 feet above the street, “Steeple Jack' Ramsauer performed thrilling feats, last Monday. The crowd almost blocked Fountain square. Ramsauer climbed the pole without any help other than a slender rope. He then stood on his head on the polished sur- face of the big globe. He stood on his hands, then on one hand. Then he stood up on both feet and finally on one foot. As a finale he sent'a thrill of horror through the multitude which watched him by pretending to slip, recovering himself after an apparent effort. A story is going the rounds of the Mis- sourl press regarding a farmer who 1is greatly troubled with absent-mindedness. On the way home from town, so the story runs, the thought came to him that he had forgotten something. He took out his note book, went over every item, checked it off, and saw that he had made all the purchases he had intended. As he drove on he could not put aside the feeling that that there was something missing. He took out his note book and checked off every item again, but still found no mis- take. He Aid this several times, but could not dismiss the idea that he must have forgotten something. When he ar- rived at home and drove up to the house his daughter came out to meet him, and with a look of surprise asked, “Why, where 1s maw?" A novel spectacle was witnessed at Ko- komo, Ind., when the Ladies' Ald soclety of Markland Avenue Methodist Episcopal church, embracing about 200 prominent women church workers, marched In a body to the local canning factory and were t to work peeling tomatoes for the pack- ers. They were attired in old frocks and aprons, rubher boots, and other articles, as a protection from the slime and slush of the peeling and cooking rooms. The women carried thelr peeling knives in the procession, and proposed to work two days each week as long as the packing season lasts. They will earn about 60 cents a day. ‘The women agreed to raise a certain sum toward enlarging the church and bullding a parsonage, and will go out and earn the money at the hardest kind of work. The canneries advertised for 200 tomato peelers, and the church women were offered the jobs and accepted. A remarkable story comes from the Bel- glan Congo. A native of the Basoka tribe was to have been hanged for cannibalism, and during his imprisonment was so worked upon by the representations of the mission- ary chaplain as to the happiness of the world into which he was about to enter that the negro offered to hang himself out of hand to get there. This sporting offer was not accepted, \and the negro was hanged by ordinary procedure, After hang- ing about ten minutes the doctor pro- | tion In form which gratify the eye as the intelligence, grace or goodness should the | body was being carried to the cemetery by nounced the culprit to be dead, and the | tour natives when, almost at the gates, It sat bolt upright and began discoursing of | heaven to the bearers, who fled, dropping | thetr burden. The man then watked into | the cemetery, sat on a grave, and when | soldiers came to seize him again he in- quired whether they also belonged to heaven, and when he could obtain some- thing to eat. He is now in’jall again, while the question of his re-execution .is being considered at Boma. A fireman rushing into a lodge room In Pittsburg, armed with a fire extinguisher, stopped for & time the initiation of new members. In a four-story brick structure on South Fourteenth street, known as the Birmingham Fire Insurance bullding, & | mecret moclety was busy with its initiation. Part of this ceremony Included the lighting of red fire and the shouting of lodge men. From the streets below it looked as though the entire bullding was burning and a ory of fire was started. In a few seconds the strest was blocked with people. IMreman Nicholas Abel rushed to the scene and, forcing has way Into the lodge room, saw that nothing serious was happening. He announced this to the crowd, but they refused to disperse. Then another fire- man, not heeding Abel's announcement, | dashed up the stairs with a full-loaded ex- | tinguisher. He saw his mistake just as he was about to use his extinguisher on the shivering candidate. While the excitement was at its helght te night patrolmen were leaving police station No. 7 to go on duty, and Inspector Kelly brought his squad to the scene. The officers scattered the crowd and the Initiation proceeded. At the teachers' fnstitute in Russell, Kan., one of the young women teachers com- plained in an address that teachers were often worrled and troubled beyond endur- ance. And thereupon the local paper came out with this: “The fact is that a girl who has been sit- ting on some fgllow's knee from 10 o'clock til daylight 1s in no condition to go into a school rogm and perform the duties of a teacher, She will be sleepy and irritable, and instead of gaining the love and respect of the children will Incur their disiike, which will destroy her usefulness as & teacher and her influence for good."
