OLD SLEUTH TELLS SOME EXPERIENCES inalnn and Seasoned Croolca Alike ' A Mid Icri Wne Corred Adventures on th Trail. Most men are pretty cool about It when they're put under arrest," said a detectlva Of long experience. "Yet I've nailed a lot of fellows whose nerve and coolness I re ally admired, ' "One of them was a professional layer down of phony checks with whom I caught up at th Southern hotel In St. Louts. He was a man of 35 or ao, and had been lagged a couple of times. When the hotel clerk told me he was In his room I went right UP and rapped on his door. "Coma In," hs called out, and I turned th knob and walked In. "He was shaving before the dresser glass, and he didn't even turn his head around to see who I might be. Ha didn't have to. for ha saw mo In the glass. x " 'Oood morning." he said, going right on aeraptrig his face. 'Fine weather, eh?' " 'Bully weather,' said I. " 'Do you shave yourself? ha asked me before I had a chance to tell him what I was there for. 'No? Well, y'ought to,' and be went right ahead and staked me to mighty Interesting talk about rasors and personally conducted barberlng and th ad vantages thereof, while I wondered If It could be possible If he knew who I was and If he was aware of the fact that my errand In bla room waa to pinch him. - 'Saw a swell variety show at the Stand ard last night,' ha went on, after exhaust ing tha barbertng subject, as he washed th soap off his face. 'Clever lot of trained dogs In it.' " 'Any bloodhounds? I asked him, stak ing him to a grin that I meant to b sig nificant, "Nop no bloodhounds," he replied, grinning. "Then h proceeded to tell me all about th dog and th rest of the show. H put some powder on his face, combed his hair, got on his collar and tie and cuffs and waistcoat and coat, carefully removed the things from th dresser drawers and packed hla Gladkton bag. rang for a couple of cocktails and some cigars, looked me over and told me that I waa a bit yellow In color and recotrtmended soma dyspepsia tablets, and then said: "Well. I'm ready old top. There'll be some little delay about the extradition papers, won't there? I'm going to wult for tha extradition papers, of course like ta bav tha things dJc In du form. By th way. what's the charge against me, and the amount of the bogus, and what bank's doing tha kicking? "I told him. he trimming his nails in the meanwhile and looking somewhat bored. Then we went down to th elevator, got a cab, and were driven to St. Louis head quarters, where I had him remanded to await extradition. I brought him east a few days later, and. at the conclusion of bis trial, aaw him accept hia three-specker witn a yawn. "Another cool one was a young fellow I grabbed In Germantown, Philadelphia. He had stolen a good bunch of money from a New Tork cotton brokerage Arm that em ployed him and skiddooed without leaving any trail. "It took me two months to get acent of him. I found out that be had recently been married In Philadelphia to a girl he had known all his life, and traced htm to a neat little detached house In Germantown. "It waa 10 o'clock In th morning when I rang hia door bell.' He cam to tha door In smoking jacket and slippers, and with th morning paper and a cigar. ' "He took on look at me, then tipped me a tremendously meaningful wink. " 'Why, hello there, you old scoundrel cf a pardner!' he suld to ma. enthusiastically "Been expecting you every day. I s'pone you're going to drag me off In thattrlp through the cotton atates that you'vbeen planning? " 'Well, business before pleasure I'll hav to go, I suppose, although I'll hatu to leave th girl so soon after we've been married. Josla,' calling to his wlfo, a pretty young woman who Just then came into th hall from th dining room, 'here's this old business associate of mine.' and h sprung a phony nam for m with gtvat ease In Introducing ma to his perfectly un suspicious wife. He's been threatening for soma Urn to take me down to a sec tion of th cotton belt In whloh he's In terested, and now I a'pos I've Just got to go along with him it means money, you know, my dear. " 'Come right Into my den, old man you'll excuse us, my dear, won't your this to his wife 'and we'll talk it over.' and he ted the way to his tidy smoking room while bis young wife went about her household duties, humming happily. " 'Well, it'a all up,' the young fellow said to ma as soon as he'd closed th door of the smoking den on us, 'but I'm going to try to make a compromise of It with the Ann, and I don't want the girl to know anything about It. If I make th com promise stick she won't have to know any thing about It. Well, I'm all ready, and we might aa well start.' and then he went to his wife and had her pack him a t j I case, bade her a cheerful goodbye and we left. "I let him get away with It In that fash Ion. He stayed In th Tombs for about two wi'eks. meeting his lawyers and repre sentatives of th cotton firm he had robbed very day. i "Hia ac In th hoi consisted In tha fact that he had the major part of th money he had stolen. He mad his compromise stick all right, disgorging about two-thirds of th money. He told the firm that if they declined to see it that way he'd take his medicine and they'd never get a nickel of the coin. "They wanted the money, and he got out of the scrape and was back with his young wife in Germantown within twenty days of his arrest. 'I've seen him since. He's doing well In Philadelphia now. and he told me that his wife never knew but what he'd been traveling down south while he waa In th Tombs. Bigamist on tha Wing. "I made a mighty easy grab of a self possessed bigamist a few years ago. He waa a smooth chap who mad a business of marrying elderly women, getting their money and then clearing out "I traced him to a hotel In Chicago Just as be was leaving It. I waa delighted to see him buy a ticket for New York. His idea was to pay a secret visit to New York for soma purpose or other, for after leav ing th ticket office be went to a barber shop and had his Vandyke beard re moved. "I waa on the same sleeper with him on th rid to New York, dnd exchanged commonplaces with blm In th wash room on the morning th train arrived In Jer sey City. I was also right alongside of him on the ferry crossing to Twenty-third street. "When h got ot th ferry boat I walked alongside of blm and put my hand on his shoulder. " 'You made It pretty easy for me." I told him, informing him quietly that h waa under arrest. "He never turned a hair, but strolled over to th cigar counter, bought three for a balf, offered me on, which I declined, and then, biting th end off one of th smokes, h looked at m with a nickering grin. " 'Say,' he asked me, whlch on of -.he old women Is after me, anyhow? referring to bis string of elderly wives. 'If you'll give me a chance to have a five minute talk with whichever on It Is, r 11 bet you a hat I can square it with her. How about ltr 'There wasn't any how about It, of course, and th cool on with the marrying habit bad to face th whole collection in court. He occupied himself during th trial iu drawing caricature of bla wives on a pad, and took his sentence aa compla cently aa if he'd been ordered to California by hla doctor for bis health. A Straight Hands. "I once found myself reclining In a chair In the hot room of a Kansas City Turkish bath alongside of a man who had given ma a two month's chase of It on false trails. He was a penman, and he had kited a lot of the bad papers tor big amounts around New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore. 'Fretty hot in her. bey?' ha said to m as he settled himself back In th reclining J chair In tha hot room. Tou'r perspiring like a man that's run ten miles in a sweater. " 'Well, Tve run more than any ten miles.' I told him. "He looked at me curiously. " 'You, have, eh?' he asked me. 'Running where ?' " "Oh, all over the country,' I told him. 'Covered about 6,000 miles the last couple of months.' " 'That's going some,' my man said. What for?' " 'For you, pal,' I told him then, getting up from th reclining chair and standing alongside of him. " 'Oh, thafa It. eh?' he said, without moving in hla chair. 'Well, d'ye know that I kind o' had a hunch that you were a bull? S'pose you'll let me get soaped and rubbed down her, won't you?' - " 'Sure, I want to finish out the bath my self,' I told him, and that Is all there was to it. "After th bath we got on our clothes, and he cam along with me without papers, aa If we'd been going rabbit hunting. Glad to Be Sartd. - "On of th coolest chaps I ever snagged was an embezzler, who waa just about to take the long sail from Boston to Australia when I came up with hlin. He'd been a trusted employ in a savings bank, and had cleaned up pretty good before making his Jump. "He had a week's start because he was on bis vacation when the bank folks got on to bis stealings. He had a girl up in Harlem, and I watched the malls for a letter from him to her. "Tbe letter spun along two days after I went on the case, and it told the girl that he was in Boston and about to make a long sea trip. I was In Boston, raking over th steamers and sailing vessels eight hours later. "I got him on a big. full-rigged ship that bad cleared and already had the tug hitched for th drag down the harbor. He was going as a passenger, having told th skip per that his doctor had ordered him to make th cruise to fix him up after a alege of nervous prostration. "He saw me as I went over the side, and he walked right over to me. " 'Well, I'm th one, ain't I?' he asked m. " Yu sur ar. aon. I told him. 'You cam near beating me to It, though.' " "Well, d'y know,' h said to me then, 'I'm blamed glad you've com for me? I'm dead sur I'd be seasick as biases all th way to Melbourne If I stayed on this bloom ing old packet. Let's mosey off of this me for th dry land. I can feel myself getting sick already, and th old booker hasn't moved yet.' "H got sis years of very much restricted dry land, but I believe he was glad to the finish that he'd ducked the long sea trip."

Incidentally, it may be remarked that not less than nine snow-clad summits and the mountains around Crater lake can be seen from this place of observation. The bridge was discovered by Charles Magee of California. The arch is almost perfect, and from base to base Is ninety feet wide, with remarkably regular perpendicular walls, tha whole looking as If chiseled by the hands of a skilled giant. The approaches on the top are 200 feet from one side to the other, while Inside, from base to top of tho bridge. Is ninety feet: from top of arch to top of bridge, thirty feet. On the bridge are all kinds of growths oak. maple, fir, cedar, laurel, balm of gllead and a great variety of shrubs, grasses and flowers. Inside It Is clear of all growths, so Its proportions can be well observed. Ther ar very large trees around, and the scenery Is wild and weird.

In the heart of "Musical Row," which He between Twenty-eighth and Forty-second streets, Broadway and Seventh avenue. New Tork, ther la a song hospital. To this place skk and dllaoidated songs are dally sent for treatment. Some of them survive and become useful to society, while others die ouirkly. The treatment is simple. Songs that require melodies to fit tha words and words to fit the melody are placed In the hands of capable doctois. These doctors do their work well and In many Instances they receive high pay for their services. Attracted by the large profits realised from the sales of popular songs, all sorts and conditions of persons hav taken to writing songs In th last few years. Every publisher of note receives manuscripts dally from ambitious composers all over tha country. Most of them are of little account. Once ft a while a good song Is discovered, but almost Invariably It needs fixing up. Th publisher bas not always the time to do this, so b sends th song to th hospital. He pays ao much for the treatment and It Is returned to him in proper form. The song hospital Is a branch of a well known publishing auuse. Publishers of puste throughout the country send their songs to It. Th manager of the hospital told something about the work of the establishment the other day. "It was called Into existence by tha want that prevailed." he said. "In view of the output of songs a place of th kind was aht-olutely essential. "At this hospital we give attention to arranging piano accompaniment, arrang ing for band, orchestra and other Instru ments, harmonizing and copying composi tions, composing melodies for words and words for melodies. We began with one musician and now have several. "There are publishers who print copies for composers for a cash consideration Publishers of this kind hav no Interest whatever In the numbers they Issue. They simply work for composers who desire to Issue their compositions for private circu lation. "We receive manuscripts right along from wealthy and ambitious persons who will pay well to have a melody set to words or vice versa. It makes no difference to us whether the manuscript Is worthy or not. We go ahead with tbe work and try to make a good Job of It. "Of course our customers get al) th credit. The pay for this work varies from $18 to $50, according to the labor Involved. "Sometimes after leaving the hospital a song may make lta way with a prominent firm and become very popular. I know of many such Instances. Not long ago tbe hospital received a manuscript from a well known congressman. Wa fixed the song up and arranged It properly. The other day we got word that he bas had two offers for tha manuscript. "Many persons ar Just crasy to see their names as authors and composers on the title page of a song. I know a wealthy woman In New York who paid $200 to a song writer to write a song for her and give ber all the credit. She distributed copies of the song among her friends and they were very enthusiastic over her sup posed efforts. "All kinds of songs com to th hospital. Some of them ar not worth the paper they are written on. Still, as we get paid for th work, w do not care." New York Sun. ORDER OF THE CARABA0 Enemies of Thirst In Army and Sstt la tha Philippines Moist tha Water Waaon. If you happen to see . officer of the army or the navy carrying a short, slender black stick with a silver head, you may know that he is a Carabao. Now, the carabao is the water buffalo of tbe orient, and especially of the Philip pines. The animal is so Important in the islands that when some American officers who had seen service In the Philippines were casting about for a -name suitable to an order formed among themselves they hit upon this Spanish name of the water buf falo. Bo the Order of the Carabao is plain Eng lish for society of the water buffalo. This society was formed not gravely, but In sport. All the officers buve absSrd and high sounding titles in a sort of bastard Spanish, and the dolnts of the society are wholly frivolous. In one. particular tha Order of the Cara bao Imitates Its nameaak. The water buf falo Is upon all ordinary occasions docile and gentle, but when the madness of thirst seises tli bM- which It dos very fr- auently. all else Is neglected until the thirst of the moment Is quenched, and woe betide the person or thing encountering th rush of the herd for water. It Is so with the Order of the Carabao. When the members, few or many, ar as sembled, and engaged In whatever talk or business, at the agreed thirst signal all el Is laid aside until every Carabao has th wherewithal to quench his thirst. It is only in rare Instances that water la the fluid chosen for this purpose. Tha hast and unanimity with which the assem bled members of tha order break off In th midst of whatever business or pleasure may engage them to respond to the thirst signal Is a sight to move th mirth and amazement of the casual stranger. The distinguishing mark of tha order is th short, slender black stick. Th stick la made of a piece of th water buffalo's horn. Upon the end of the little silver bead appears the effigy of the animal Itself, and on tha side of the bead ar engraved th initials of the owner and bla number In th Order of the Carabao.
