METHODS USED BY DIPS VARY Pickpockets of the Higher Grade Work in Groups in Places Frequented by Prosperous People. ! As a usual thing, pickpockets vary their methods to suit circumstances. Only the low-grade dips work in pairs. These are the men who operate on street cars, elevated stations, plat forms, and similar places where thry will find crowds of pushed people and have opportunity to escape if detected. One of the pair shoulders a victim roughly while the other does the work and makes a getaway, says the Bo hemian. Arrests are frequent, but con victions rare, because the man cap tured seldom has the loot The higher grade dips also work in such places. The difference is that they work in groups and choose times when prosperous passengers will be in the majori t y. During the fashionable shopping hours and after the theater at night are considered harvest times. Last winter throe dips worked a clever method in Chicago. Garbing them selves in evening clothes, they mingled in fashionable crowds in big cafes, theater exits, and railway stations. One of the pajty was always hopeless ly drunk and the others, apparently acting the par^t of Samaritans, were hard-put trying to keep him on his feet. With all their care, however, he would stumble occasionally and fall into groups of ladies and gentlemen. Invariably the sober companions had apologized and taken the charge away before anj-one discovered the loss of valuables. WHERE RATS ARE PROTECTED In Copper Mines of Michigan Rodents Are Regarded as Preventors, Not Carriers, of Disease. There are few places in the world where rats are well thought of, but in the copper mines of Michigan there ro dents, so universally despised, and' causing so much danger to health and j damage to property everywhere else, are regarded differently. In the shafts | of the copper mines hundreds of feet : below the surface dwells a species of ; rat that never sees the light of day J and is held in high appreciation by; the miners. It is because these under- ! ground rodeuts are valuable to sanlta- j tion, preventers rather than carriers of disease. They indulge in no depre-1 dations for the reason they exist with- j in rockbound walls inclosing nothing1 possible for animals such as they de stroy. The rats are the scavengers of the mines. They keep the workings clear, of refuse. They are protected by the i men ; are often fed from dinner pails j and have become GO accustomed to jthe miners that they frisk about the workers wholly unafraid, secure in the hpparent realization that, while else where they are hunted and slain as enemies of mankind, underground they are treated as allies and are immune' from harm. Wives as Wage Earners. More than one-tenth of the married women of the United States were en gaged in gainful occupations in 1910, according to figures recently given out hy the bureau of the census, and over 25 per cent of all women sixteen years old or over were wage earners, business women, etc. Since 1910 the per ccntages undoubtedly have in creased rather than diminished, for the tendency of women in this coun try has been toward greater economic freedom for many years. In 1900 the number of married women In gainful occupations was only 769,000, while in 1910 it was l.SOO.OOO, says Popular Me chanics. The statistics referred to show that the proportion of women married, sintrle and widowed-who are earning their living is greater than ever before, but it is particularly in teresting to find that of all the groups cited, the proportionate increase in the number of married women is the greatest. Hunter's Moon. The hunters' moon is waning, but there has been very little service for lt during the month, except for lovers, says the Columbus (O.) State Journal. The gajme question is pretty near solved. It is so different from the old days, when a man could take his shot gun and go out to the woods and bring In a bag of squirrels and birds in a few hours-enough for the family and a neighbor or two. Then he asked no favors of the moon. The game was plenty and the days were long in the good old time. In those days we had pigeon pie and squirrel pie and we didn't want the moon to put itself out of the way on our account. In these days the hunters' moon is a beautiful sentiment, but it makes no pie. How shy sho was last week, when coquet ?ng with Jupiter for an evening or two, and then slipped off to the east and re fused to return. The Footwear of Our Daddies. In these days, when shoes cost $1 or more an inch, measured up from the heel, the recollections of a Callaway county pioneer really are painful. In a letter to the Missouri Telegraph he tells what a simple matter buying shoes once was. Those who wanted shoes lined up with their heels against a wall and the head of the household, armed with a bunch o." twigs, took the measurement of each. The twigs were taken to a merchant, who fitted the shoo by putting the broken stick Inside it. One farmer objected to pay ing $14.87 for ten pairs of shoes, so he bought leather and hired a shoe maker to make them at a grand total af $9.15.-Kansas City Times. Relating to School Funds. The .County Board of Education has not been able to make appor tionment ot school funds from the fact that State Tax* Commission has not made ruling on assessed valua tion of corporations. The apportion ment will be made as early as we hear from the commission. There ia nothing to materially change ap portionment from last year. W. W. FULLER, County Supt. of Elducation. FOR SALL.
