Clever Detective Work

A clever bit of detective work is report- ed from Lyons. For soine time back it was not safe for children to play‘ta the parks or walk the. streets without their elders. Dozens of cases were placed in the hands of the police where little girls had been coaxed into secluded places, their hair cut off and frequently their clothes removed. It appeared to be the work of one old

| woman, who, however, managed to elude

the vigilance of the police. At length De- tective Dormier took the case in hand. He dresssd his own little girl very elegantly and sent her out to play in the park, while he, disguised asa porter, kept watch. Ina

afew minutes an old women approached

ithe child, offered her sweetmeats and coax-

ed her down"a lonvly avenue. M. Dormier followed and allowed the woman te remove the child’s hat and cloak before arresting her. She has been committed for trial and there is abundant evidence to secure a con- viction. rp +

‘¢] think I have found out why co many girls wear coats and ulsters just like the men,” remarked a clothes observer, ‘‘Why is it?’ asked his friend. Beeause there are 30 many more women thar men that the girls are compelled to take the shadow for the eub- etance.”

A country newspaper editor who does all the writing, type-setting, presswork, mail- ing and celiyery of his paper, with the assistance of a hired boy, says he doesn’t seo how be can possibly abbreviate his ex- penses unless he cuts the boy’s legs off.

In Japan wealthy owners of cats havea high respect for them even when they are dead. In Yeddo, at a recent cat's funeral, the eofliu was covered with a white silk pall.

A man never realizes how much of a sponge he is until he slips down ia a puddle of walter and mops it all up.
