CRUSADERS ARE .MUCH ELATED Lenders Deelnrr Movement In n Snc- In livery W nnml I'tiK" Sold for Tvtenl Four I'ralni CHICAGO, Dec. M.-Fhlcano club women bcoumo egg merchants today. They planned to sell 1,000,000 eggs at 34 cunts a dozen In their campaign against hp high cost of that commodity. Thirty stations were opened throughout Iho city where eggs could ho purchased fom C to 10 cents cheaper than the same product has been sold by the retail grocer. They will be, sold in three, six and nine-dozen lots. Tho "bargain day sale ' Is being con ducted under tho auspices ot the Chicago Clean Pood league, which bought ten car The thieves, by simultaneously raisins their hands under the pretense of put ting their pipes or cigarettes into their mouths, tiled, by pulling the. horsehair taut, gradualv to lift the victim's tie Pin from Its place. In this particular Instance the trick wns not successful, but It Is often worked J with advantage. If tho pin falls to the ground unnoticed the thieves take tho earliest opportunity of seizing It. or, by a skillful manipulation of the horschult. tho nrtlole may be made to slide down tho almost invisible line right Into tlu hand of one of the thieves. Owing to the ea-e with which they ate detached tie pins urn tiw favorite objec tive with many street thlevs, says the Standard, and a great mnn.v of them ate stolen by means of the Old trick known as the "tumbling lady " A well dressed gentleman, walking along the pavement, notices that u lady crosses his path, suddenly stumbles and lurches forward Instinctively he throws out his arms to catch her and for a moment she resU upon his breast The next, with a con fused murmur of apology and thanks, shu It none and' it Is only somo time after- ii w r i m m mm I v m I 1 I HOPPINS loads of eggs. Sales of butter, meat and ward that the gallant rescuer discovers vegetables will be arranged. As soon as the women opened their sale retail grocers plastered the front of their Mores, with signs "offering eggs at 22 cents ! dozen, 3 cents less than the price asked iliy the women. The grocers advertised their product as "guaranteed April stor age eggs," the same quality sold by the ( women. 'W'omeu Are Klnteil. Mrs. John C. Bloy, president of tho Chi cago Clean Food club, said reports from the different selling stations showed the campaign had proved a success. The nlno stations In the down town district were 'crowded with customers soon aftor the .doors were opened and scores of clerks were kept busy wrapping up packages of ggs. ' "The campaign Is a success In every way." said Mrs. Blcy. "We liavo em phasized the good quality of our eggs '.rather than the low price, and in this ' ray wo have ovcrcomo the effect o com- petition from retailers located near our Helling stations. Tho sale will prove a. great benefit to the consumer and wo ' hope to teach the retailer a wholesome ', lesson." Tho publlo sale had little If any ef -! feet on the wholesale price of the pro--duct. There was an advanco of a' half . cent a dozen Tor strictly fresh eggs, while the price of storage eggs remained tho ' same. Price Goes Down at Phllntlelphlii. PllUjADELPHIA. Pa., Dec M.-The prices ot all grades of eggs are still' com- 'inff down In Philadelphia as a result of ; tho campaign conducted bjr the House- ; keepers' league to reduce the cost of liv ing. Tho league today placed on sale "selected" storage eggs at 23 cents a . dozen. The price charged' by tho league for these eggs a few .days ago was Si , cents. Testerday they Bold for -23 cents. Tho prices for the better grade of this farm product havo also been 'reduced. ThA women managers of the league ' said today they have an almost unlimited aupply of eggs. They are being received from a wholesale egg dealer who has con nections in different ports ot tho country. Do Your Buying from Leavenworth Street Merchants that nls tie pin is also gone or perhaps Ids watch. Ot course, the average street thief pre fers to woik In n. crowd and his entctprtso is strikingly Illustrated by "the fact that If he cunnot find a crowd bn proceeds to make one. One of the simplest methods ot doing tills Is to tako advantage of the inqulslttveness of tho average person. It Is only necessary for one to stand In tho street and gaze upward, as though staring Intently ot somo Interesting ob ject, or look over a bridge ut some appar ently remarkable thing In tho water to Immediately. attract the pastors-by. Tho street thief plays upon tho weakness of tho average Individual. Ho will walk along a. thoroughfare, suddenly coma to a, halt and gaze steadfastly at something In tho air possibly It Is only a chimney J pot. Whatever It fs. the chances are a hundred to one that in a few minutes n crowd ot people will stop and ataro In the somo direction and then It is an easy matter for a confederate to go through the pockets of tho gazers. More elaborate was tho plan adopted somo time ago by three musicians, who made a fair amount every day by exer cising their vocal organs in the suburbs, but whoso Income was considerably aug mented by a confederate who relieved tho crowd' which collected around tho musicians, qt whatever cash and other valuables he could lay his hands on. Then thero Is tho ragged llttfe boy who creates consternation and excitement among the crowd of seaside visitors by tumbling Into -tho. sea off the promonade or pier. As a ruio ho can swim like a. fish, but the longer he enn keep up the, realistic semblance of drowning tho longer his father or big brother has to explore, the pockets of tho sympathetic crowd.

TRICKS OF STREET THIEVES Invisible Touches and Marvelous In genuity Displayed by Clever ;-.v , nogrnea.' ;, ; Almost every day illustrations are af forded of the marvelous Ingenuity of the modern thief. Recently a couple of rogues nearly succeeded in extracting a .valu able stickpin from the cravat of a man bitting between them in a music hall by means of an almost Invisible horsehair stretching from the right hand of one thief to the left hand of his accomplice. Current Obncrvnf Inn. A man has to tako chances nnd make his fortune. But a woman can get hers told for a-quarter. A w'oman never fusses much about the way a man parts hla hair, until he has to part It with a towel. Nowadays modesty is only hobble skirt deep. A woman doesn't have to wait until she celebrates her. wooden wedding to realize, that she is married to a blockhead. 'One of tho amazing conundrums of llfo is why a man win take cnancos on get ting shot when thero are lots of good looking women who are single. ... When a- woman sits In a box In a the ater she knows that the audience Isn't paying a bit ot attention to tho show. Thero is (rood in everything, when the woman next door is yelling and pounding the piano sno isn t talking about her ncignoors. And now a scientist comes right out in print and Bays that poverty causes bow legs. IB UU HW1UI WH.11QP til. rUUltt Ul our princesses. Cincinnati Enquirer.
