STORIES TOLD BY NONBELIEVERS IN KLEPTOMANIA. O tight Flncers In the Drewing Konui * of FanhIonablo Entertainer ) * Unfair .Ex changes Which May Ho Culled Robbery. Old Thing * For New. "Ob , give ifc any name you like bor rowing otber people's belongings and failing ever to return them , mistaken identity as to special possessions or klep tomania , but I call it thieving , and something ought to be done about it. " This is what the blond woman in the very smart bonnet said to her nearest neighbor in blue , whereupon every other woman near the tea table cut short her conversation and held her cup in midair to hear what the discussion would bring forth. "That I do , " went on the blond em phatically , "and I've been stolen from repeatedly. No , my dear , I won't take a word of it back , and I am not speak ing hastily. In every instance it was a plain case of theft , and I've not up to date recovered a single belonging. Why , of course if it had been a grimy fingered sneak thief , or a too enterprising house maid , I most naturally would have gone to the police and detectives for protec tion and assistance , but it is not ( mite so easy to have an individual who wears the best French gloves , whoso bonnets come from an expensive importer and who sometimes asks you to share her opera box , receive at her teas or take a lift home in her brougham , arrested and searched on suspicion. " " "Well , I never ! " remarked the wom an in blue. . "Oh , that's just because you are a dear , unsophisticated little creature , and out in your western town they don't do such things. The temptations are not so great , but I can assure you that here in our big cities , at regular intervals , polite kleptomania is simply rampant , and hardly a big function breaks up that half the women don't come away quite savage over the loss of some pretty and especially prized belonging. " Evi dently the blond was right , for all the other women nodded assent , and the hostess was apparently breathless to tell of some personal grievance on this score , when rhe first speaker broke in again : "You see , " she elaborated , "we used to think it might have been the servants' fault , or an honest error , when we found our possessions exchanged for others less valuable or simply disappearing , un til two or three times the offenders were caught right in the act , and then came the awfully dismal consciousness that really no one could be trusted. ' 'My first experience was with a very costly lace fan I carried to a dinner. I held on to it most affectionately through out the evening , until some half dozen of us went up to the hostess' bedroom for our wraps. There I laid it , with my vinaigrette and fan , on the dressing ta ble , and when I turned to get them again the fan was gone. I protested , the maid searched , but nothing came of it , and broken heartedly I went down , be wailing my loss to a sympathizing fem inine companion. We went out to our respective carriages together , but as the butler opened the hall door a puff of wind blew her long cloak aside , and there I saw , snug in its pocket , my pre cious fan. Well , the next day I wrote her very frankly , asking for its return , suggesting , of course , she had taken it by mistake , and home it came. But we have never spoken since. "That taught me to look for higher offenders than maids in dressing rooms , who are usually accused of making way with all wraps , umbrellas , overshoes and what not that may be missing. " "Ah , that is not my trouble , " chimed in a debutante across the tea table. "The favorite plan is now to exchange bad for good things. I am growing almost philosophical over the deplorable shabbiness - biness of my wardrobe from this con stant swapping. Last week , on coming up late to the dressing room from a dance , I found in place of my brand new green suede carriage overshoes two overlarge , badly worn ones of rusty black velvet and my lace head scarf ex changed for a frayed one of soiled white chiffon. Naturally cross and sleepy , I fell on the tired maid , who wept and denied , but looked as if she could tell a tale. "Only to make a test case of it I rolled my new French galoches in my mackin tosh , laid my card on top and put them in a safe corner of the dressing room of a house where I went to luncheon the other day. But it was of no avail. The galoches had been metamorphosed into a pair of muddy rubbers with holes in them when I went back , and I didn't grumble , since my pretty umbrella was left. The work of the spoiler goes on in the cloakrooms when big wedding re ceptions , teas , musicales and private balls are in progress. "At one of the big dances of the sea son the hostess simply ordered her maid to issue checks for every woman's wrap , and , charming to relate , not so much as a hairpin was lost , for at her daughter's wedding reception , only a week before , three muffs got away somehow without their rightful owners , and the possessor of a $300 saole hand warmer found a scrubby old astrakhan one in its place. "That is where the fashionable klep tomaniacs salve their consciences by an exchange , you see , for rarely is anything taken that some inferior article is not put in its place , and very rarely are they caught with them. Their position in society is one of protection , and their victims are too timid or proud to trace a clew , which too often leads right to the door of their best friends or some woman who is aiding materially in helping them along in society.

Why an Eutcrprialng Man Han Xo Chance to JJccome a Millionaire. Blummer is one of our citizens who live well and do nothing. He toils not , neither does he spin , and yet he and his family live in comfort that is not many removes from luxury. This has subjected Blummer to adverse crit icism , which fairly lacerates his sensi tive feelings , and ho unbosomed himself to a few friends the other evening while they were enjoying the good things ho keeps on tap. "There's not a lazy bone in my body , " he began aggressively. "I'd rather work than eat , and I've always thought that I had a great business head on me. But the record's against me. My father set me up in a mercantile business , and when I had u balance struck at the end of a year there was not enough left to make a decent assignment. On his death I came into a handsome fortune , and I just thought I'd show my rela tives how I had been misjudged by in vesting secretly in a great southern land scheme. I went down gleefully to look over my new purchase and gloat over my prospects. Most of my real es tate was at the bottom of a lake , and what was on diy land wouldn't raise a hill of corn to the acre. "My brother got me a nice position as traveling salesman , and I had sold whole carloads of goods at half price be fore the house could head mo off. They told me that I must sell to hold my place , and that was what I was doing , but they discharged me so hard that I never got rightly over it. Mother bought mo a farm , and again I started to aston ish my folks by my business shrewd ness. I traded the farm for the state right to a patent fence. All I got out of that was a judgment against me in an infringement case. Mother left me what I have now , with a proviso that I should forfeit everything if I tried to do business of any kind. That's why I have no chance to make myself a mil lionaire. " Detroit Free Press. MELTED SNOW POWER. SiriM Towns That Utilize the Mountain Streams. Besides a considerable number of large water power installations Switzer land is full of small power plants , nearly every town in that land of mountains and waterfalls being well supplied with power from the "white coal , " as the melting snow on the mountain sides has well been called. When there are no large streams , many small ones arc im pounded and collected in reservoirs on the hillsides , and it is rare to find a place of any size which is not well lighted by the power of some monntain stream. At Montreux the electric tramway gets its power in this way , and from the old Roman town of Vevey to the me diaeval castle of Chillon one may ride in a trolley car propelled by the power of an insignificant little stream which may or may not be noticed when climbing up the hillsides just above. The capabilities of this general util ization of natural power are beginning to be understood everywhere , and , with the appreciation of the possibilities of the best methods of long distance trans mission , the development of many moun tain streams must surely come. There are innumerable streams , which , while very small , are yet very high , and these can with comparatively little difficulty be impounded and carried down many hundreds of feet , thus making up for their lack of volume by the great pres sure readily obtainable , and , either by the use of electricity or compressed air , the power may be transmitted to many points of application with but little loss. Cassier's Magazine. Women Read Advertisements. It is claimed , says the Philadelphia Press , that the women are the only read ers of advertisements. In a measure this is true , and necessarily so , for women are the larger purchasers for the house hold and spend most of the money that is earned by business , professional and working men. Even in the larger transactions it will probably surprise dealers to learn how influential a voice women have. The purchase of a home is almost invariably determined by the women of the house hold , and in nine cases out of ten their information as to the situation and de sirability of a purchase is gained from the newspapers. And every furniture dealer , dry goods dealer , groceryman and keeper of any sort of a store knows that he must ap peal to the women if he wishes to sell his goods. One of the largest elements in the success of one of the greatest mer chants in the world today is the fact that he knows how to appeal attractively through the advertisement to the wom an. Fourth Estate. A Bible Sled. A friend of the Listener saw a funny sight down in Maine. At a place there , which needn't be named , there lives a small boy named Jonathan Longfellow , who is a third or fourth cousin of the poet , and he is a great boy too. One day this friend of the Listener was driving past young Jonathan's house and saw the boy engaged at a little distance in sliding down hill on the slippery crust on something that was not a sled. What could it be ? Evidently the scrutiny of the passerby was observed by the boy , for he stopped his coasting and called out amiably , ' 'I'm sliding down hill on the Bible. " And it was the fact too. He had got the smooth , leather bound fam ily Bible , containing the generations of all the Lougfellows , and was coasting on it with magnificent success.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four honrs ; a sediment or settling ; indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
