CLEVER CROOK. Stole From Detective Who Was Watching Him. A shrewd detective from the cen tral office, who is detailed to keep the theatrical district free from pick pockets and confidence men. was stolling through the Waldorf-As toria the other afternoon when he thought he recognized in a fashion ably dressed man a notorious Chicago crook. The suspect was looking at the steamship bullentin board. and in or der to get a line on his plans the sleuth- scraped an acquaintance. Over the bar the acquaintance ripened, but the detective failed to gain the in formation he sought, and at dinner hour he had discovered nothing. Then he got a bright idea. He con sulted his pocketbook and found he had a new, crisp $io bill. "Come into the cafe and have a bite." he said, shifting the bank note to his trousers pocket. The suspect hesitated. softly ob jected, then accepted. They sat at opposite sides of a table for two, and during the meal the detective used all his arts to fathom the plans of the other. But it was of no avail and when the check for $6 came he was as much in the dark as ever. "No, no, I pay for this," protested the invited one, as the sleuth reached for the check with one hand and ten derly fingered the crisp bill in his pocket with the other. "But I asked you," protested the detective. "A mere bagatelle," declared the other. pulling a new ten-dollar note from his wallett and tossing it to the waiter. "I'll dine with you tomor row." The sleuth looked resigned and in wardly chuckled, for, after all, he had 4 been thoroughly baffled -and he could hardly put the dinner in as expenses. They parted at the door with a prom ise to meet next day and the sleuth went up Broadway. At Thirty-eighth street he went into a drugstore for a cigar. He lighted one, reached into his pocket and threw down a bill on the counter. With an exclamation he grabbed the note and held it up excitedly. Instead of a ten it was a crisp one dollar silver certificate. Across the end was writted this: "I wouldn't have kept the $4 change - a mere bagatelle-but I needed it for tips. Give my regards to the - chief.'' WOULD YOU LIVE TO BE zoo. Here Are The Rules a French 'Scient ist Prescribes Therefor. New York Evening Telegram. To live roo years a French physi cian has laid down the following rules for human beings to observe. 1. Breathe fresh air day and night. 2. Take outdoor exercise each day either by working or walking. 3. Eat and drink modcrately an.d simply. Choose wvater, milk and fruit rather than alcohol. 4. Fortify yourself by washing ~daily in cold water and by talking a - hot bath once a week. 5. Do not wear clothes that are un comfortable., 6. Live in a house that is spacious 7. Work regularly. 8. After work do not seek repose in exciting distractions. The hours of leisure belong to the family: the night is for sleep. g. Ennoble your life by good ac tions. To those who are desirious of liv ing roo years we can see nothing ob jectionable inl the above suggestions. So far as they apply to local life, we presume' none of our citizens could be worse off for following them. In fact, our present daily life is modeled much after the same, lines. Weare not all fortu.nate enough to Vlhv.eroof gardens for sleeping apart nments, but the tendency to seek pure air is in evidence a'nong the lowliest. If we cren't get abundant exercise in walicing, we get about as much in bal ancing -ourselves in overcrowded trains and trolley cars, and we eat moderately enough because, with the tendency towax'<l increased prices for food, there~ is no other alternative. Public and private baths are in creasing everywhere at an unusual -ratio, and the tendency of the age, even among the fair sex, is to corn bie comfort with fashion in such a Wagol's Just Recei, They are not "As Go( have any size wagon, a Quati way that beauty or "the mode" shall not be at the price of physical tor ture. The French physician's doctrine is simply that of rationality, and evolu tion seems to be following exactly on that theory. Cupid's Strategy. McCracken, Kansas, Enterprise. Two young men of this neighbor hood were rivals for the hand of a pretty girl. One of them was poor and handsome, and the other was a slow witted fellow, with considerable money. The capitalistic one con ceived the idea of buying off his rival. He offered hir'n $ioo to go away and' stay away six months. The poor young man said he would consider the matter. And he did, in company with the girl. They agreed to take the money of the young man, get married and go away together. The: deal was completed. and the poor, young man got his money and start ed for Denver. But he was joined by the girl at the first station, where he was married by a justice of the' peace. The rich young man consult ed a lawyer and was told that he had no grounds for a suit: that the young man had kept his agreement; by going away; that it wasn't stipu lated that he should go alone. And the local paper of the town is laugh-: ing at the thought of that honeymoon trip at the expense cf a rival. Breaking the Sad News. Chicago Record-H.erald.
